12 Series 4141 Powerhead
Defective oil seals and gaskets or
cracks in castings are the usual
causes of leaks. Such faults allow
supplementary air to enter the
engine and thus upset the fuel-air
mixture.
This makes adjustment of the
prescribed engine idle speed
difficult, if not impossible.
Moreover, the transition from idle
speed to part or full throttle is not
smooth.
The crankcase can be checked
thoroughly for leaks with the carbu-
retor and crankcase tester and the
vacuum pump.
– Remove shroud - see 5.1.
– Make sure the spark plug is
properly tightened down.
– Remove the air filter and
carburetor - see 9.1 and 9.3.
– Set the piston to top dead center
(T.D.C.). This can be checked
through the intake port.

Close the vent screw (1) on the
rubber bulb.
– Use rubber bulb to pump air into
the crankcase until the gauge
indicates a pressure of 0.5 bar
(7.25 psi). If this pressure
remains constant for at least

20 seconds, the crankcase is
airtight.
– If the pressure drops, the leak
must be located and the faulty
part replaced. Repeat the
pressure test in such a case.
Note:
To find the leak, coat the suspect
area with oil and pressurize the
crankcase again. Bubbles will
appear if a leak exists.
– Open the vent screw and
disconnect the hose.
– The pressure test must always be
followed by a vacuum test.
