INSPECTION
INSPECT FUEL TANK AND LINE
(a) Check the fuel lines for cracks or leakage, and all connec-
tions for deformation.
(b) Check the fuel tank vapor vent system hoses and connec-
tions for looseness, sharp bends or damage.
(c) Check the fuel tank for deformation, cracks, fuel leakage
or tank band looseness.
(d) Check the filler neck for damage or fuel leakage.
(e) Hose and pipe connections are as shown in the illustra-
tion.
If a problem is found, repair or replace the parts as necessary.

(b) When connecting the union bolt on the high pressure pipe
union, observe the following procedures:
(1) Always use 2 new gaskets.
(2) Tighten the union bolt by hand.
(3) Tighten the union bolt to the specified torque.
Torque: 29 N´m (300 kgf´cm, 21 ft´lbf)
(c) When connecting the flare nut on the high pressure pipe
union, observe the following procedures:
(1) Apply a light coat of engine oil to the flare nut, and
tighten the flare nut by hand.
(2) Using SST, tighten the flare nut to specified torque.
SST 09023-12700
NOTICE:
Do not rotate the fuel pipe, when tightening the flare nut.
Torque: 28 N´m (285 kgf´cm, 21 ft´lbf)
HINT:
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).
(d) Observe the following precautions when removing and
installing the injectors.
(1) Never reuse the O-ring.
(2) When placing a new O-ring on the injector, take
care not to damage it in any way.
(3) Coat a new O-ring with spindle oil or gasoline be-
fore installing-never use engine, gear or brake oil.
(e) Install the injector to the delivery pipe and intake manifold
as shown in the illustration.
(f) Observe these precautions when disconnecting the fuel
tube connector (quick type).
(1) Check if there is any dirt like mud on the pipe and
around the connector before disconnecting them
and clean the dirt away.
(2) Be sure to disconnect with hands.

3. INSPECT FIELD COIL
(a) Check the field coil for open circuit.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity be-
tween the lead wire and field coil brush lead.
If there is no continuity, replace the field frame.
(b) Check the field coil for ground.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween the field coil end and field frame.
If there is continuity, repair or replace the field frame.
4. INSPECT BRUSHES
Using vernier calipers, measure the brush length.
Standard length: 15.5 mm (0.610 in.)
Minimum length: 10 mm (0.394 in.)
If the length is less than minimum, replace the brush holder and
field frame.
5. INSPECT BRUSH SPRINGS
Check the brush spring road.
Take the pull scale reading the instant the brush spring
separates from the brush.
Standard spring installed load:
17.6 - 23.5 N (1.79 - 2.41 kgf, 4.0 - 5.3 lbf)
Minimum spring installed load:
11.8 N (1.20 kgf, 2.7 lbf)
If the installed load is less than minimum replace the brush
springs.
