Fuel Pump and Filter
The electric fuel pump is a submersible type
located in the fuel tank. The fuel
filter
is located
on
the left·hand side in the engine compartment
and
should be changed as specified In the main-
tenance schedule.
Ignition System
A breakerless
ignition
system is used
WARNINGI
High
energy
Ignition
system
develops dangerous primary and
sec·
ondary voltages.
If the spark plugs are removed, take care that no
dirt
enters the cylinders. Use only the recom·
mended spark plug heat range and gap to specl·
fl catlon.
Resistor-type plugs should not
be
used
as resistive wire
leads are used for radio inter·
ference suppression.
The firing order
Is 1-3·4·2 (cylinder number 1 Is
closest
to the firewall).
COOLING SYSTEM
The
cool
ing
system
Is
pressurized
with
a
crossflow radiator and expansion tank.
Until the engine has reached Its operating tem·
·
·~
perature
,
the radiator inlet Is closed
by
ather·
mostat and the
coolant
circulates through the
engine and the fresh air heater
until
It reaches
the temperature at which the thermostat opens.
The radiator fan
Is
electrically
operated and Is
regulated
by
a
thermostatic
switch. The fan Is
only
operative when the temperature of the
ra
·
dlatorcoolant
is
higher
than the cut·ln tempera·
ture
of
the
thermostatic
switch.
The radiator fan may continue
to
run, or may
cut
In
, for a
sh
o
rt
while after the engine has been
switched off.
WARNING! Bolling
coolant
can cause
serious burns. Let the engine
cool before
removing pressure cap.
The
cooling
system operates under pres·
sure. Always open the cap on the expan·
sian tank
slowly
and
allow
any steam
to
escape before you remove the cap.
The
radiator
must
not be screened
or
blocked

Checking the Coolant Level
The expansion tank is transparent to fac
ilitate
checking
of
the coolant level. The level should
be
between the MAX and MIN marks on the tank.
When necessary, top up with the recommended
anti·freeze coolant mixture (see below). After
an
empty expansion tank has been filled up, the
engine
should
be
run until warm and the tank
topped up again.
NOTE! Keep the
coolant
at
the recom·
mended level. Correct any leaks Imme·
dlately.
Operating the engine with low
coolant
level may cause damage
to
the
cylinder
head.
Ch
an
ging Coolant
Dr
aining
1.
Set the heater
control
to maximum heat.
2.
Loosen the pressure cap on the expansion
tank.
3.
Open radiator drain cock
which
Is located
towards the
bottom
of
the radiator
on
the
right hand side.
