This service manual is divided into three sections. The first is for general running and operation of the motor, which includes: how to mount the motor on your transom, starting procedures, running the motor in different weather conditions, general information and maintenance. The next section is on how to trouble-shoot a non-working engine and gives some suggestions on what to look for.
