OIL PRESSURE INSPECTION
1. Check:
lOil pressure
Checking steps:
lSlightly loosen the oil pressure check bolt
1.
lStart the engine and keep it idling until oil
starts to seep from the oil pressure check
bolt. If no oil comes out after one minute,
turn the engine off so it will not seize.
lCheck oil passages and oil pump for dam-
age or leakage.
lStart the engine after solving the prob-
lem(s) and recheck the oil pressure.
lTighten the oil pressure check bolt.
T R..
Oil pressure check bolt:
7 Nm (0.7 m • kg, 5.1 ft • lb)
PILOT AIR SCREW ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust:
lPilot air screw 1
Adjustment steps:
lScrew in the pilot air screw until it is lightly
seated.
lBack out by the specified number of turns.
Pilot air screw:
2-1/2 ~ 3-1/2 turns out (example)
NOTE:
To optimize the fuel flow at a smaller throt-
tle opening, each machine’s pilot air screw
has been individually set at the factory.
Before adjusting the pilot air screw, turn it in
fully and count the number of turns. Record
this number as the factory-set number of
turns out.
ENGINE IDLING SPEED ADJUSTMENT
1. Start the engine and thoroughly warm it
up.
2. Attach:
lInductive tachometer
