ANTI-PUDDLING METER HOLE SCREEN
NOTE:
This section applies to TVS, TVXL840's only.
TVS / TVXL840 engines built since 1/1/87, serial
numbers 7001 and thereafter, have a screen pressed
into the cavity below the anti-puddling meter hole.
This screen is a precautionary measure against abuses
such as contaminated fuel or in some instances
customers removing air cleaner elements allowing
contaminants to enter the crankcase. Engines built prior
to 1/1/87 can also have a screen installed. Part No.
430233 can be installed using the following procedure.
1. Disassemble engine so the piston, rod and
crankshaft assembly can be removed.
3. Insert the screen past the governor lever into the
tapered cavity with brass ring up. Use a small punch
or scribe to seat the screen squarely. Be careful
not to bend or poke a hole in the screen.
4. With the screen in place, take a 1/4' roll pin punch,
place it on top of the screen and tap until the screen
is seated securely in the hole.
5. Reassemble the engine as stated in that section of
this book. Engines built after 1/1/87 (serial numbers
7001 and beyond) have a screen installed in
production.
REPLACEMENT OF SCREEN
If the anti-puddling meter hole screen becomes clogged
with debris, a wire hook can be used to remove the
screen. The same procedure as outlined in this section
should be followed for reinstallation of the new screen.
2. After removing the crankshaft assembly, clean the
antipuddling meter hole with a soft tag wire. Probe
the hole several times to assure proper cleaning.
The hole is located between the shelf and PTO end
of the block directly under the governor lever.
