1. Check valve clearance;
2. check cylinder head gasket for leakage.
3. Check combustion chamber for excess
carbon buildup.
4. check valve conical surface and valve
seats.
5. check piston, piston rings and cylinder
for worn.
↓normal compression (80 psi/.55 Mpa)
Install the spark plug. Restart the engine
according to the starting procedure.
■ Cylinder compression check
1. Remove the spark plug cap and spark plug
2. Install a compression gauge in the spark plug hole. Pull the recoil starter rope several times with force
and measure the cylinder compression.
Cylinder compression 0.55Mpa/600rpm
c. Ignition system troubleshooting
■ Fill oil to the specified location before inspecting
■ Please use the WR7DC spark plug
■Spark plug inspection
1. Remove spark plug
2. Attach the removed spark plug to the plug cap
3. Ground the negative electrode of the spark plug against the cylinder head or engine block and engage
the electric starter and check to see if a spark jumps across the electrode.
Warning
!
■ Do not pull the recoil starter rope while touching the high tension wire with a wet hand. High voltage is
generated which is dangerous.
■ Make sure no spilled fuel is anywhere on the engine and no fuel is on the spark plug before testing.
■ Keep sparks and any other combustible source away from the spark plug hole and engine metal case
before installing and checking.
