ENGINE TUNE-UP PROCEDURE
I
03UOB2-011
Idle Speed
1. Perform “Preparation”. (Refer to page BZ-8.)
2. Apply parking brake.
3. Check that the idle speed is within specification.
Idle speed (Neutral or P range): 750 f 50 rpm
Caution
l Check the idle speed without the electric cooling
fan operating.
Note
l When the parking brake is not applied, the idle
speed for ATX model (Canada) is approx. 800 rpm.
4. If not within the specification, adjust the idle by turning the
air adjusting screw.
5. Disconnect the
SST.

1, Ignition system (Refer to Section G.)
2. Compression
3. Fuel system (Refer to Section F.)

INSPECTION
1. Check that the battery is fully charged. Recharge it if neces-
sary. (Refer to Section G.)
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Turn the engine OFF.
4. Remove all spark plugs.
5, Disconnect the ignition coil connector.
6. Connect a compression gauge to the No.1 spark plug hole.
7. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and crank the engine.
8. Record the maximum gauge reading.
9. Check each cylinder.
Compression:
1,256 kPa (12.6 kg/cm’, 182 psi)-300 rpm
Minimum:
883 kPa (9.0 kg/cm2, 128 psi)-300 rpm
Max. difference between cylinders:
196 kPa (2.0 kg/cm2, 28 psi)
10. If the compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour a
small amount of engine oil into the cylinder and recheck
the compression.
(1) If the compression increases, the piston, piston rings,
or cylinder wall may be worn.
(2) If the compression stays low, the valve may be stuck
or seating improperly.
(3) If the compression in adjacent cylinders stays low, the
cylinder head gasket may be defective or the cylinder
head distorted.
Il. Connect the ignition coil connector.
12. Install the spark plugs.

5. Tap the piston pin in with the SST until the pin contacts the
clip.
If the pin cannot be installed easily, replace the connecting
rod.
6. Install the second clip into the clip groove in the piston.
7. Check the oscillation torque of the connecting rod. If the
large end does not drop by its own weight, replace the pis-
ton and/or piston pin.
Piston Ring
1. Install the three-piece oil rings on the pistons.
(1) Apply clean engine oil to the oil ring spacer and rails.
(2) Install the oil ring spacer with the ends upward.
Note
l The upper rail and lower rail are the same.
l The rails may be installed with either face upward.
(3) Install the upper rail and lower rail.
2. Verify that both rails are expanded by the spacer tangs as
shown in the figure by making certain the rails turn smoothly
in both directions.
Caution
l The rings must be installed with the Fl marks
upward.
l The second ring must be installed with the scraper
face downward.
