Cooling System
Level 2.
To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, cooling air must 
pass freely through the cylinder fin area. This flow of air carries 
combustion heat away from the engine.
Overheating and engine seizure 
can occur when:
• Air intakes are blocked, 
preventing cooling air from 
reaching the cylinder.
• Dust and grass build up on the 
outside of the cylinder. This 
build up insulates the engine 
and prevents the heat from 
leaving.
Removal of cooling passage 
blockages or cleaning of cooling fins is considered “Normal Maintenance.” 
Any failure attributed to lack of maintenance is not warranted.
1. Remove spark plug lead.
2. Close choke (COLD START 
[ ] position). This prevents 
dirt from entering the 
carburetor throat when the air 
filter is removed. Remove air 
cleaner cover (A).
3. Remove engine cover (B).
