utes, and then turn it off.
2.
Remove the lock plate from the engine
stop lanyard switch on the remote control
box or tiller handle.
3.

Before removing the spark plugs, blow
compressed air in the spark plug well to
clear out any dirt or dust that may fall into
the cylinder.

Fully open the throttle, and then crank the
engine until the reading on the compres-
sion gauge stabilizes.
NOTE:
9
Do not pull the choke knob when checking
the compression pressure.

Disconnect the choke solenoid blue lead
from the wireharness.
5.
If the compression pressure is below
specification and the compression pres-
sure for each cylinder is unbalanced, add
a small amount of engine oil to the cylin-
ders, and then check the compression
pressure again.
NOTE:
9
If the compression pressure increases,
check the pistons and piston rings for worn.
Replace if necessary.

If the compression pressure does not
increase, check the cylinder head gasket,
and cylinder head. Replace if necessary.
