MAINTENANCE
(9) Renew oil filter element
NOTE: This operation is best carried out when engine
is warm, and with alternate oil changes.
1. Place a suitable receptacle under the drain plug and
unscrew the plug slowly until oil begins to escape.
When rate of flow lessens, remove plug completely
and allow oil to drain for a few minutes. Clean and
replace drain plug.
2. Grasp the oil filter with both hands, turn anti
clockwise, remove and discard.
3. Clean the cylinder block face and smear with oil.
Fit new filter and screw firmly home. Remove
surplus oil.
4. Refill sump via oil filler with recommended grade
of oil to high mark on dipstick.
5. Start engine and check for oil leaks between filter
and cylinder block face.
(10) Clean fuel pump sediment bowl
**NOTE: Two alternative fuel pumps are illustrated.**
1. Unscrew bolt complete with washer.
2. Lift off domed cover.
3. Carefully remove rubber sealing ring.
4. Remove filter gauze and wash in petrol.
5. **Using a small screwdriver, loosen sediment in bowl.
Take care not to damage non-return valve. Finally
remove sediment with air line (L.H. drawing).**
Reverse 1 to 4 to reassemble.
(11) Lubricate distributor and check automatic advance
Lubricate
1. Remove distributor cap.
2. Lift off rotor arm.
3. Apply a few drops of oil to centre of rotor spindle.
4. Apply oil to advance and retard mechanism.
5. Lightly grease the cam surface.
6. Wipe away surplus oil and grease.
7. Refit rotor arm and distributor cap.
Check automatic advance
1. Check freedom of movement by turning rotor
spindle in the direction of rotation (anti-clockwise)
to limit of its movement and allow it to return under
spring pressure.
2. Check for leaks in vacuum advance mechanism by
disconnecting the vacuum pipe at the carburetter
end and, using suitable rubber tubing, connect a
‘Tee’ piece between the end of the vacuum pipe and
the carburetter connection. Connect a vacuum
gauge to the remaining outlet from the ‘Tee’ piece
and start the engine and increase its speed until the
vacuum gauge reads 15 to 20 inches of vacuum.
Compress the rubber tube between the ‘Tee’ piece
and carburetter and stop the engine. If the vacuum
unit and pipes are free from leaks the gauge reading
will remain constant.
