Remove Combustion Chamber Deposits
Combustion chamber deposits should be removed
every 100 – 300 hours or whenever cylinder heads are
removed. See Section 5 for removal procedure.
Remove combustion chamber deposits from combus-
tion chamber and around valves using a soft, hand wire
brush or scraper. With piston at Top Dead Center,
remove combustion chamber deposits from top of
piston. Use care to prevent combustion chamber
deposits from entering push rod or oil return cavity in
cylinder.
Take care not to damage cylinder, top of piston,
cylinder head and cylinder head gasket surfaces.
NOTE: Remove only the combustion chamber
deposits. It is not necessary to remove the
discoloration marks on the piston, valves
and cylinder head. These marks are
normal and will not affect engine operation.
Remove the loose deposits from around the top ring
land area using compressed air or a soft bristle
brush.
WARNING: TO PREVENT eye injury always
wear eye protection when using compressed
air.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Most complaints concerning engine operation can be
classified as one or a combination of the following:
1.
Will not start
2.
Hard starting
3.
Lack of power
4.
Runs rough
5.
Vibration
6.
Overheating
7.
High oil consumption
NOTE: What appears to be an engine malfunc-
tion may be a fault of the powered equip-
ment rather than the engine. If equipment
is suspect, see Equipment Affecting
Engine Operation.
Systematic Check
If the engine will not start and the cause of malfunction
is not readily apparent, perform a systematic check in
the following order:
1.
Ignition
2.
Carburetion
3.
Compression
This check-up, performed in a systematic manner, can
usually be done in a matter of minutes. It is the quickest
and surest method of determining the cause of failure.
The basic check-up procedure is the same for all
engine models, while any variation, by model, will be
shown under the subject heading.
