Starting system (Prime Start)
To facilitate the starting of a cold engine, an air-fuel mixture that is richer than normal is required.
For this reason, the Prime Start system has been adopted in the F50/F50A, T50/FT50B, FT50C. In
the Prime Start system, the thermo heater plunger is in a position that fully opens the fuel enrichment valve while the engine is being started. Thus, fuel enrichment is achieved during the starting of
the engine, and continues while the engine is being warmed up. Once the engine starts, current
flows from the lighting coil of the to the thermo heater, allowing the wax in the Prime Start unit to
expand. The expanded wax moves the thermo heater plunger in the direction to close the enrichment valve. As a result, the volume of fuel that passes through the fuel enrichment valve decreases.
A few minutes after the engine has started, the thermo heater plunger completely closes the fuel
enrichment valve, thus ending the fuel enrichment by the Prime Start system.

Carburetor operation
1. Idle and low-speed operation
Since the vacuum at the venturi is low when the throttle valve is opened slightly, the main nozzle
does not supply any air-fuel mixture to the engine.
When the engine is operating at idle, the fuel that passes through the pilot jet and the air that passes
through the pilot air jet mix, enabling the air-fuel mixture that has been regulated by the pilot screw
to be fed through the pilot outlet.
Because the throttle valve opens slightly when the engine is operating at low speeds, air-fuel mixture also starts to be fed from the bypass holes.

Acceleration pump
The function of the acceleration pump is to ensure a smooth acceleration by preventing the air-fuel
mixture from becoming temporarily lean in case the throttle valve is opened suddenly. When the
throttle valve is opened suddenly, a large volume of air is introduced into the engine. However,
because fuel is heavier than air, it is not possible to supply the volume of fuel that is necessary for
the large volume of air that has been introduced. Thus, because it is not possible to achieve the airfuel mixture that is required by the engine, bucking or hesitation results. For this reason, the acceleration pump temporarily increases the fuel volume in order to adjust the air-fuel mixture to a ratio that
is necessary for the engine in case the throttle valve is opened suddenly.

Operation
When the throttle is opened suddenly, diaphragm 1 (via the link that is connected to the throttle
lever) operates to pressurize the air in the pump chamber. The pressurized air opens diaphragm 2,
and becomes distributed to the carburetors by passing through the pipes that are connected to the
carburetors. The pressurized and distributed air then utilizes the passage of the main air jet to flow
into the main nozzle. The pressure of the air helps suck fuel from the main jet, which increases the
fuel in the main nozzle, and thus achieves the fuel enrichment.

Ignition system
In order to determine the optimal ignition timing that is necessary for the proper operation of the
engine, the built-in microcomputer in the CDI unit detects the signals from various types of sensors
and controls the ignition timing in accordance with a control map that is based on those signals. The
microcomputer also effects controls to protect the engine against overheating, over-revolution, and
oil pressure drops, as well as to control warning devices.

Flywheel
Three protrusions for the pulser coil are provided along the periphery of the flywheel. The purpose
of these protrusions is for detecting the engine speed. Two of them are used for ignition signals, and
one is used for identifying the cylinders, and these signals are transmitted to the microcomputer.

Pulser coil
The pulser coil transmits the pulser signals, which are generated in the pulser coil in accordance
with the rotation of the flywheel, to the CDI unit. Among the two protrusions that are provided for
generating signals, one is used for cylinders #1 and #4, and the other for cylinders #2 and #3, thus
enabling the pulser coil to simultaneously ignite two cylinders.
To provide ignition signals to the cylinders, the microcomputer determines the ignition cylinder and
ignition timing. These are based on the cylinder identification signals generated by the protrusion for
identifying cylinders, and on the pulser signals generated by the protrusions for generating ignition
signals.

Basic control
The ignition timing is determined by using the map based on the engine speed (r/min). Then, ignition signals are output from the microcomputer in accordance with the ignition timing map so that
ignition can take place at the optimal timing in relation to the engine speed. Then, the microcomputer corrects the ignition timing in accordance with the operating conditions of the engine as
detected by the signals that are input from the engine temperature sensor and oil pressure sensor.
The pulser signals that are output when the protrusions for cylinders #1 and #4, and for cylinders #2
and #3 pass by the pulser coil, are used to calculate the engine speed. In addition, the pulser signals are used to determine the forecast starting position of the ignition timing.

INFO
Acceleration control
This control is activated when the throttle valve is opened suddenly. If the engine speed increases
more than the specified figures, the control of the ignition timing transfers to the acceleration map.
Thereafter, the control of the ignition timing transfers gradually to the control map before acceleration. If it was under warm-up control, the timing transfers to the warm-up control map, and if it was
under normal control, the timing transfers to the normal control map. The control described above
will be repeated if the engine is accelerated again.
Over-revolution control
This control operates by detecting the engine speed. If the engine speed increases to over 6,200
r/min, the ignition of cylinders #1 and #4 is stopped in order to regulate the speed. If the engine
speed increases further to over 6,300 r/min, the ignition of cylinders #2 and #3 is also stopped. This
control will not be deactivated until the engine speed drops below 6,200 r/min.
Overheating control
This control operates in accordance with the engine temperature, which is detected by the signal
that is input from the thermoswitch. When the microcomputer detects via the thermoswitch signal
that the engine temperature has increased to over 80 °C (176 °F), it outputs a signal to stop the ignition of cylinders #1 and #4, if the engine speed is over 2,000 r/min. At the same time, the microcomputer issues a warning by operating the warning lamp and the warning buzzer. When the
overheating control is activated, it will not be deactivated until the engine is stopped or the engine
temperature decreases to under 70 °C (158 °F).
The determination of overheating stops when the engine is stopped. However, until the engine temperature decreases to approximately 70 °C (158 °F) or below, the overheating control will be activated upon restarting the engine. Upon restarting, if the engine speed is under 2,000 r/min, the
overheating control will not be activated for 75 seconds. However, if the engine is operated at over
2,000 r/min for more than 25 seconds, the overheating control will be activated.
Oil pressure control
The oil pressure control operates in accordance with the signals from the oil pressure switch. The oil
pressure is determined to have dropped if the engine continues to operate at over 2,000 r/min with
an oil pressure of under 49 kPa (0.49 kgf/cm
pressure control is activated, the warning buzzer sounds and the warning lamp illuminates. If the
engine speed is over 2,000 r/min, the control stops the ignition of cylinders #1 and #4 so that the
engine speed will not increase to over 2,000 r/min. Once an oil pressure drop is determined, this
control will not be deactivated even if the oil pressure recuperates, until the engine is stopped.

Power trim and tilt
The newly designed power trim and tilt consists of an up-main valve, a down-main valve, an uprelief valve, a single cylinder, and a single ram, which control both trim and tilt functions.
The power trim and tilt cylinder has been integrated with the gear pump housing, the reservoir tank,
and the power trim and tilt motor in order to achieve a smaller and more compact unit.

Trim-up function
The gear pump pumps power trim and tilt fluid to the up-main valve. As a result, the fluid pressure
opens the up-shuttle piston causing the fluid to flow into the lower part of the power trim and tilt cylinder. At the same time, vacuum from the gear pump opens the down-main valve and down-shuttle
piston, which causes fluid from the upper part of the power trim and tilt cylinder to return to the gear
pump, and also sucks fluid in through the reservoir.
The pressurized fluid forces up the trim cylinder along with the tilt piston, free piston, and trim cylinder base. As the trim cylinder moves up, the ram extends and the outboard motor is trimmed up.
The end of the trim range is when the trim cylinder tops out in the power trim and tilt cylinder.

Trim-down function
When the power trim and tilt switch is pressed to “Down”, the motor turns the gear pump counterclockwise and the power trim and tilt fluid flows in the opposite direction to that of the trim-up function.
Tilt-up function
When the trim cylinder tops out, the check valve is pushed down by the end screw wall. This causes
the ball in the check valve to move down, opening the fluid passage and allowing the power trim and
tilt fluid to flow from the upper part of the trim cylinder, through the down-shuttle piston and the
down-main valve, and back to the gear pump. In addition, fluid is also sucked in through the reservoir and the pressurized fluid continues to flow into the lower part of the trim cylinder, pushing up the
tilt piston and free piston, and further extending the ram.
As the tilt piston moves up and off of the trim cylinder base, the base moves up and pushes the balls
outward to fit into holes of the power trim and tilt cylinder. Once the balls have been fitted into the
holes the trim cylinder base cannot move.
The end of the tilt-up range is when the tilt piston tops out in the trim cylinder and the ram is fully
extended.
The tilt-up function operates when the fluid pressure is under 10 MPa (100 kgf/cm
When the fluid pressure in the lower part of the trim cylinder increases to over 10 MPa (100 kgf/cm
1,423 psi), the up-relief valve opens and allows the pressurized fluid to flow into the reservoir. Thus,
the tilt piston and free piston are not pushed up and the ram cannot be extend further.

Tilt-down function
When the power trim and tilt switch is pressed to “Down”, the motor turns the gear pump counterclockwise, thus pumping the power trim and tilt fluid to the down-main valve. As a result, fluid pressure opens the down-main valve and the down-shuttle piston, which causes fluid to flow into the
upper part of the trim cylinder and forces the tilt piston down.
When the tilt piston and the free piston reach the trim cylinder base, it pushes the base down, allowing the balls to move inward. Once the balls move in, the trim cylinder is then able to move down
and power trim and tilt fluid continues to flow into the cylinder and pushes the trim cylinder down,
along with the tilt piston and ram.
The end of the tilt-down range is when the tilt piston and the free piston bottom out in the trim cylinder base. When the power trim and tilt fluid pushes the trim cylinder down further trim-down is
started. The end of the trim-down range is when the trim cylinder arrives at the bottom of the power
trim and tilt cylinder. Before the trim cylinder arrives at the bottom of the power trim and tilt cylinder,
an amount of fluid equal to the volume of the ram is returned to the reservoir.

Stopping condition
When the power trim and tilt switch is not pushed (released), the gear pump does not pump the
fluid, the up-main valve and the down-main valve are closed, and the power trim and tilt fluid pressure in the system remains constant. This allows the ram to maintain its position until the power trim
and tilt fluid flows through the system again.
When the outboard motor hits something in the water
The check valve of the trim cylinder and the tilt piston absorber of the tilt piston help to prevent internal damage to the power trim and tilt unit and help to protect the bracket and lower unit from damage in case the outboard motor hits something during operation.
When the outboard motor hits something, highly pressurized fluid in the upper part of the power trim
and tilt cylinder pushes down the check valve of the trim cylinder. At the same time, fluid pressure in
the upper part of the trim cylinder increases and the tilt piston absorber is pushed down. As a result,
the tilt piston and the ram are pushed up without the free piston. The tilt piston is stopped before
reaching the top of the trim cylinder by the damper function of the tilt piston absorber to protect the
power trim and tilt unit from damage.

Technical tips / Propeller selection
Propeller selection
The performance of a boat and outboard
motor will be critically affected by the size
and type of propeller you choose. Propellers
greatly affect boat speed, acceleration,
engine life, fuel economy, and even boating
and steering capabilities. An incorrect choice
could adversely affect performance and
could also seriously damage the motor.
Use the following information as a guide for
selecting a propeller that meets the operating
conditions of the boat and the outboard
motor.

it can cause severe burns or permanent
eye injury.
• Wear protective eye gear when handling
or working near batteries.
Antidote (EXTERNAL):
• SKIN – Wash with water.
• EYES – Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):
• Drink large quantities of water or milk
followed with milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.
Batteries generate explosive, hydrogen
gas. Always follow these preventive measures:
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated
area.
• Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
• DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
