NOTE:
Steps 1) - 6) outlined above must be performed
with ENGINE NOT RUNNING. For step 7),
be sure to have adequate ventilation while
engine is running
It is recommended to use engine oil of SE or
SF class.
NOTE:For temperatures below
32”F(O”C), it is highly
recommended to use SAE 5W-30 oil.

5. COOLING SYSTEM HOSES AND
CONNECTIONS INSPECTION
1) Visually inspect cooling system hoses for any
evidence of leakage and cracks. Examine them
for damage, and check connection clamps
for tightness.
2) Replace all hoses which show evidence of
leakage, cracks or other damage. Replace all
clamps which cannot maintain proper tight-
ness.
6. ENGINE COOLANT CHANGE
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do
not remove radiator cap while engine and
radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and
steam can be blown out under pressure if
the cap is taken off too soon.
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool.
2) Loosen radiator drain plug @
to drain
coolant.
3) Remove reservoir tank 0, which is on the
side of radiator, and drain.
4) Tighten plug
@ securely. Also reinstall reser-
voir tank.

CAUTION:
When changing engine coolant, use mixture
of 56% water and 50% GOLDEN CRUISER
1200for the market where ambient tem-
perature falls lower than -16°C (3°F) in
winter and mixture of 70% water and
30% GOLDEN CRUISER 1200for the
market where ambient temperature doesn’t
fall lower than -16°C (3” F).
Even in a market where no freezing tempe-
rature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water
and 30% GOLDEN CRUISER 1200
should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.

WARNING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not
touch exhaust system when system is hot.
Any service on exhaust system should be
performed when system is cool.
When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the
car is raised for other service, check exhaust
system as follows:
l Check rubber mountings for damage, deterio-
ration, and out of position.
l Check exhaust system for leakage, loose
connections, dents, and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to
specification. Refer to below chart for torque
specification.
l Check nearby body areas for damaged, miss-
ing, or mispositioned parts, open seams,
holes, loose connections or’ other defects
which could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the car.
l Make sure that exhaust system components
have enough clearance from the underbody to
avoid overheating and possible damage to the
floor carpet.
l Any defects should be fixed at once.

Choke System1) When coolant temperature is low:
This choke system is provided with a thermo-
wax which operates according to the heat from
the engine coolant, causing the choke valve to
open and close as well as the fast idle system to
operate automatically.
As the thermo-wax is contracted and the
plunger is retracted, the choke valve linked
with the fast idle cam is closed. When the
engine is started in this state, the intake
manifold vacuum pulls the diaphragm of the
choke piston to the left (below figure). The
choke piston rod also moves to the left and
acts on the choke valve to open. However,
the choke valve is restricted by the plunger of
the thermo-wax through the choke lever.
Therefore, the rod cannot move to the left
far enough to open the choke valve wide and
has .to stop at a position where the choke
valve opening is small as shown in the figure.
In this state, the diaphragm contracts the
bucking spring.

[Operation of choke system]
As the thermo-wax is contracted at the low
coolant temperature, the plunger of the thermo-
wax is retracted (at the up position) and the fast
idle cam rotates clockwise by the spring force.
As a result, the cam follower pushed down by
the cam causes the primary throttle valve to
open and brings about the fast idle state.
The thermo-wax expands as the coolant tempe-
rature rises and the plunger position lowers,
causing the fast idle cam to rotate counterclock-
wise. As a result, the throttle valve starts moving
to close. In this way, the throttle valve closes
gradually as the coolant temperature rises until
it reaches the idling position at the normal
temperature. Refer to Fig. 4-l -11.

7.Bucking spring
Fig. 4- I- 12 When coolant temp. is low
2) When the coolant temperature rises:
The plunger lowers due to the expansion of
the thermo-wax. Then the fast idle cam rotates
counterclockwise and consequently the choke
lever clockwise. This allow the rod to move
further to the left by the bucking spring force
(below figure). Thus a wide opening of the
choke valve is obtained.
Hereafter, the plunger of the thermo-wax
moves futher down in accordance with the
coolant temperature rise. The lower the
plunger moves, the wider the choke valve
opening becomes, and it becomes fully open
at the normal coolant temperature.
