Testing Engine

Compression



NOTE: The engine should be warm (operating tem-

perature) and the battery fully charged for an accu-

rate compression test. The throttle must be in the

wide-open throttle (WOT) position. In the event the

engine cannot be run, cold values are included.



NOTE: The seat, seat back, and seat base must be

removed for this procedure.

1. Remove the high tension lead from the spark plug.

2. Using compressed air, blow any debris from around

the spark plug.

3. Remove the spark plug; then attach the high tension

lead to the plug and ground the plug on the cylinder

head well away from the spark plug hole.

4. Attach the Compression Tester Kit.

5. While holding the throttle in the full-open position,

crank the engine over with the electric starter until

the gauge stops climbing (five to 10 compression

strokes).

6. If compression is abnormally low, inspect the

following items.

A. Starter cranks engine over.

B. Gauge is functioning properly.

C. Throttle in the full-open position.

D. Valve/tappet clearance correct.

E. Engine warmed up.

F. Intake obstructed.



NOTE: To service top-side components, see Engine/

Transmission.

7. Pour approximately 30 ml (1 fl oz) of oil into the

spark plug hole, reattach the gauge, and retest com-

pression.

8. If compression is now evident, service the top end

(see the appropriate Engine/Transmission - Top-Side

Components).

Spark Plug

A light brown insulator indicates that the plug and fuel/

air ratio are correct. A white or dark insulator indicates

that the engine may need to be serviced. To maintain a

hot, strong spark, keep the plug free of carbon.

ATV-0051

On the 700, adjust the gap to 0.5-0.6 mm (0.019-0.024

in.). On the 500, adjust the gap to 0.7-0.8 mm (0.028-

0.031 in.).

ATV0052

A new spark plug should be tightened 1/2 turn once the

washer contacts the cylinder head. A used spark plug

should be tightened 1/8-1/4 turn once the washer contacts

the cylinder head.

Muffler/Spark Arrester

Clean the spark arrester using the following procedure.

1. Remove the cap screws securing the spark arrester

screen assembly to the muffler; then loosen and

remove the spark arrester. Account for a gasket and

wave washer.

! WARNING

Always wear safety glasses when using compressed
air.

PSI Hot (WOT)

PSI Cold (WOT)

125-145 (700)

100-140 (700)

213 (500) approx.

N/A (500)

CAUTION

Before removing the spark plug, be sure to clean the
area around the spark plug. Dirt could enter engine
when removing or installing the spark plug.

! WARNING

Wait until the muffler cools to avoid burns.
