Introductory Notes
The comprehensive text of this extensively illustrated manual on engine dismantling
and assembly applies with appropriate modifications to all models with manual or
pedal gear change and kickstarter. Where the assembly sequence differs in a few
respects, or where different tools are needed, special reference is made to the
changes in the relevant chapters. The manual covers the following engine models:
Type Model Description Starting System Gear Change No. of Gears
System
267 Scooter R 50 Kickstarter Manual 3
267 Super-Combinette Kickstarter Manual 3
267 Sport-Combinette Kickstarter Pedal 3
276 Scooter RS 50 Kickstarter Manual 4
276 KS 50 Super Kickstarter Pedal 4
276 Scooter RS 50 Kickstarter Pedal 4
281 Motorcycle KS 100 Kickstarter Pedal 4
The instructions take account of all modifications introduced on engines supplied as
from 1965.
Complete dismantling of an engine is only called for in cases of damage to the gear-
box, crank drive, kickstarter assembly (except for kickstarter spring) or the manual
gear-change
assembly.
Ss
Defects of the gear selector mechanism — steel-ball selector mechanism for pedal-
change engines — clutch, crankshaft drive gear of engines with either manual or
pedal gear change, can be remedied after taking off the clutch housing cover. Con-
sequently, the engine need not be taken off the frame. But in all these cases, the
gearbox oil must be drained off through the drain plug in the bottom of the housing.
This is preferably done while the engine is still warm.
Gear-change pedal, kickstarter pedal with return spring, chain sprocket, flywheel
magneto (wheel and baseplate), cylinder with piston, cylinder head and fan assembly
can all be taken off and fitted without dismantling the engine. Here, of course, the
oil need not be drained from the gearbox.
For air-cooled engines, consult the assembly instructions on model KS 100, and dis-
regard all references to the fan system.
