l Honing or reboring cylinders:
1) When any cylinder needs reboring, all other
cylinders must also be rebored at same time.
2) Select oversized piston according to amount
of cylinder wear.

ed.

(0.0008 - 0.0015 in)
C : Allowance for horning = 0.02 mm
(0.0008 in)
5) Rebore and hone cylinder to calculated dimen-
sion.
NOTE:
Before reboring, install all main bearing caps in
place and tighten to specification to avoid
distortion of bearing bores.
6) Measure piston clearance after honing.
Piston and Piston Rings
Clean carbon from piston head and ring grooves,
using a suitable tool.
Inspect piston for faults, cracks or other damage.
Damaged or faulty piston should be replaced.
0Piston diameter:
As indicated in Fig. 3-5-31, piston diameter
should be measured at the height of 15 mm
(0.59 in) from piston skirt end in the direc-
tion perpendicular to piston pin.

l Piston clearance:
To calculate piston clearance, measure cylin-
der bore diameter and piston diameter. The
piston clearance is difference between cylinder
bore diameter and piston diameter. Piston
clearance should be within specification as
follows.
If it is out of specification, rebore cylinder and
use oversize piston.
Piston clearance0.02 - 0.04 mm
(0.0008 - 0.0015 in.)
NOTE:
Cylinder bore diameters measured in thrust
direction at two positions as shown in Fig.
3-528 should be used for calculation of piston
clearance.

4-1. CARBURETOR
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General
This 2-barrel downdraft type carburetor has
primary and secondary systems.
The primary system operates under normal
driving condition,and the secondary system
operates under high speed-high load driving
condition. The choke valve is provided in the
primary system.
The main components and their functions are as
follows.
The primary system has; (1) a mixture control
solenoid valve which is operated by the electri-
cal signals from the Electronic Control
Module (ECM) so as to maintain the optimum
air fuel ratio of the primary slow and the pri-
mary main systems at all times, (2) a fuel cut
solenoid valve which is for the fuel cut under
deceleration and prevention of the dieseling,
and (3) an acceleration pump system.
The secondary system has a secondary diaph-
ragm which is operated by the vacuum from
the primary side and actuates the secondary
throttle valve.
The choke system is a full automatic type
using a thermo-wax.
The switch vent solenoid valve provided on
top of the float chamber is to reduce the
evaporative emissions.

Float Adjustment
l)The fuel level in float chamber should be
within round mark at the center of level
gauge.
1. Level gauge
2. Round mark3. Fuel level
Fig. 4- l-42 Fuel level
2) If the fuel level is not found within the round
mark, check the float level and adjust it as
follows:
a) Remove the air horn, and invert it.
b) Measure the distance between the float and
the gasketed surface of air horn. The
measured distance is float level, and it
should be the specification.
If the float level is out of specification,
adjust it by bending the tongue up or
down.
NOTE:
l This measurement should be made without a
gasket on the air horn.
l Check float height with float weight applied
to needle valve.
l As a gauge for checking float level, use
something whose thickness measurement is
the same as specified level measurement
(such as a drill or M8 bolt) after confirming
thickness with vernier calipers.

Idle Up Adjustment
1) Warm up engine to normal operating tempe-
rature.
2)Check to be sure that engine idle speed is
specification.
3) Check to ensure that idle-up actuator rod
moves down (indicating that idle-up is at
work) when small light, tail light, license
light and side marker light are turned “ON”.
