INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT OF SQUISH GAP
General
NNOOTTEE
The gap between the piston (at the TDC of the piston) and the combustion cham-
ber insert (= “squish gap”) is partly responsible for the power characteristics of the
engine and responsible for smooth running.
NNOOTTEE
The smaller the squish gap the higher the engine compression. This means that
the engine response to the feed from the carburetor becomes more critical under
changing operating conditions (temperature, air pressure, humidity).
