50 Series 4180 Powerhead
: Push the test flange (1) 
1119 850 4201 into position.
: Fit the sleeves (2) 
0000 963 1008 and secure them 
with the nuts (3).
: Seal the impulse hose (4) with a 
suitable plug (5).
– Loosen the muffler mounting 
screws.
: Fit the sealing plate (1) 
0000 855 8106 between the 
muffler and cylinder exhaust port 
– the sealing plate must 
completely cover the opening in 
the muffler.
– Tighten down the screws firmly.
Vacuum test
Oil seals tend to fail when subjected 
to a vacuum, i.e. the sealing lip lifts 
away from the crankshaft during the 
piston's induction stroke because 
there is no internal counterpressure.
: Connect suction hose (1) of 
vacuum pump 0000 850 3501 to 
the nipple (2).
– Close the vent screw on the 
pump.
– Operate the vacuum pump until 
the pressure gauge indicates a 
vacuum of 0.5 bar.
If the vacuum reading remains 
constant, or drops to no more than 
0.3 bar within 20 seconds, it can be 
assumed that the oil seals are in 
good condition.
If the vacuum drops to less than 0.3 
bar within 20 seconds, the oil seals 
are defective and have to be 
replaced, b 7.8.1.
Pressure test
: Connect pressure hose (1) of 
tester 1106 850 2905 to the 
nipple (2).
– Close the vent screw on the 
rubber bulb.
– Operate the pump bulb until the 
pressure gauge indicates a 
pressure of 0.5 bar.
If this pressure remains constant for 
at least 20 seconds, the engine 
housing is airtight.
If the pressure drops, the leak must 
be located and the faulty part 
replaced.
– To find the leak, coat the suspect 
area with oil and pressurize the 
crankcase. Bubbles will appear if 
a leak exists.
