OIL PRESSURE INSPECTION
1. Check:
Oil pressure
Checking steps:
Slightly loosen the oil pressure
check bolt
1.
Start 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.
Check oil passages and oil
pump for damage or leakage.
Start the engine after solving
the problem(s) and recheck the
oil pressure.
Tighten the oil pressure check
bolt.

PILOT SCREW ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust:
Pilot screw
1
* Except for USAAdjustment steps:
NOTE:To optimize the fuel flow at a
smaller throttle opening, each
machine’s pilot screw has been
individually set at the factory.
Before adjusting the pilot screw,
turn it in fully and count the num-
ber of turns. Record this number
as the factory-set number of turns
out.
Turn in the pilot screw until it is
lightly seated.
Turn out the pilot screw by the
factory-set number of turns.
Pilot screw:
2 turns out (example)
* 1-1/2 turns out
CONTROLE DE LA PRESSION
D’HUILE

Pression d’huile
REGLAGE DE LA VIS DE
RICHESSE
1. Régler:
Vis de richesse 1
* Excepté USA Etapes du contrôle:
Desserrer légèrement le boulon 1
de contrôle de la pression d’huide.
Lancer le moteur et le laisser tour-
ner au ralenti jusqu’à ce que l’huile
commence à suinter au niveau du
boulon de la rampe de graissage. Si
l’huile ne sort pas après une
minute, arrêter le moteur pour évi-
ter qu’il ne grippe.
Vérifier les passages d’huile et la
pompe à huile pour voir s’il y a des
fuites ou des dégâts.
Mettre le moteur en marche après
avoir remédié au(x) problème(s) et
vérifier à nouveau la pression
d’huile.
Serrer le boulon de contrôle de la
pression d’huile au couple indiqué.

Etapes de réglage:
N.B.:
Afin d’optimiser le flux de carburant
à plus petite ouverture des gaz, la vis
de richesse de chaque véhicule a été
réglée individuellement à l’usine.
Avant de régler la vis de richesse, la
visser complètement en comptant le
nombre de tours exact. Noter ce chif-
fre et dévisser la vis de ce nombre de
tours.
Visser la vis de richesse jusqu’à ce
qu’elle touche légèrement son
siège.

the touch.
The piston must be at Top Dead
Center (T.D.C.) on compression
stroke to check or adjust the valve
clearance.

rateur 1 jusqu’à ce que le moteur
tourne à la vitesse de ralenti spéci-
fiée.
N.B.:
S’équiper d’un tachymètre moteur
numérique pour réglage du régime de
ralenti. Pour détecter le régime du
ralenti approcher le capteur du tachy-
mètre c près de la bobine d’allu-
mage 2.
Pour augmenter la régime de
ralenti → Serrer a la vis de
butée de l’accélérateur 1.
Pour diminuer le régime de ralenti
→ Desserrer b la vis de butée de
l’accélérateur 1.
Régime de ralenti du
