Figure 1-12. Cylinder Leakdown Tester
RESULTS:
1. 0-10% Cylinder is good
2. 10-30% there may be a problem
3. 30-100% Cylinder requires repair
THINGS WHICH AFFECT BOTH CYLINDERS:
1. Carburetion
2. Crankcase vacuum
3. Ignition timing
a. A partially sheared flywheel key will effect ignition timing
and engine performance.
THINGS WHICH AFFECT ONE CYLINDER:
1. Spark plug
a. A fouled spark plug may indicate that carburetor is out
of adjustment.
2. Leak in spark plug wire
3. Head gasket
4. Intake manifold
a. A leak at either end of the intake manifold will only affect
one cylinder, not both.
5. Valves
6. Rings
7. Piston
8. Cylinder
NOTE: A twin cylinder engine will run well on one
cylinder as long as the power required for the applica-
tion does not exceed the power produced by the one
cylinder.
equIPMeNT AFFeCTING eNGINe oPerATIoN
Frequently, what appears to be a problem with engine opera-
tion, such as hard starting, vibration, etc., may be the fault of
the equipment powered rather than the engine itself. Listed
are the most common effects of equipment problems, and
what to look for as the most common cause.
HARD STARTING OR WILL NOT START:
1. Loose belt - a loose belt like a loose blade can cause a
backlash effect, which will counteract engine cranking
effort.
2. Starting under load - see if the unit is disengaged when
engine is started; or if engaged, should not have a heavy
starting load.
3. Check remote control assembly for proper adjustment.
4. Check interlock system for shorted wires, loose or corroded
connections, or defective modules or switches.
ENGINE WON'T STOP:
1. Check equipment ignition stop switch.
2. Check for loose or disconnected equipment stop switch
wire.
3. Check ground wire harness on engine.
a. See Section 2 for test procedure.
VIBRATION:
1. Unit load out of balance - remove and balance.
2. Mounting bolts loose - tighten.
POWER LOSS:
1. Bind or drag in unit- if possible, disengage engine and
operate unit manually to feel for any binding action.
2. unit load has excess drag.
NOISE:
1. Engine coupling or pulley - an oversize or worn coupling
can result in knocking, usually under acceleration. Check
for fit or tightness.
2. Equipment needs lubrication.
