CAUTION:
Do not mix more than one type of ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze containing corro-
sion inhibitors for aluminum engine.
Do not use water containing impurities or
oil.
7. Install:
Radiator cap
Start the engine and warm it up for a sev-
eral minutes.
8. Check:
Coolant level
Coolant level low → Add coolant. Handling notes of coolant:
The coolant is harmful so it should be han-
dled with special care.

ENGINE IDLING SPEED ADJUSTMENT
1. Start the engine and thoroughly warm it up.
2. Adjust:
Engine idling speed
Adjustment steps:
Adjust the pilot screw.
Refer to “PILOT SCREW ADJUSTMENT”
section.
Turn the throttle stop screw 1 until the
specified engine idling speed.
NOTE:
Using a digital engine tachometer for idle
speed adjustment, detect the engine idling
speed by bringing the sensing element c of
the engine tachometer close to the ignition
coil 2.
To increase idle speed → Turn the throt-
tle stop screw 1 in a.
To decrease idle speed → Turn the throt-
tle stop screw 1 out b.
Engine idling speed:
1,900 ~ 2,100 r/min

VALVE CLEARANCE INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
The valve clearance should be adjusted
when the engine is cool to the touch.
The piston must be at Top Dead Center
(T.D.C.) on compression stroke to check or
adjust the valve clearance.

VALVE CLEARANCE INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
2. Remove:
Spark plug
Cylinder head cover
Refer to “CAMSHAFTS” section in the
CHAPTER 4.
3. Remove:
Timing mark accessing screw 1
Crankshaft end accessing screw 2
O-ring
4. Check:
Valve clearance
Out of specification → Adjust.
Valve clearance (cold):
Intake valve:
0.10 ~ 0.15 mm
(0.0039 ~ 0.0059 in)
Exhaust valve:
0.17 ~ 0.22 mm
(0.0067 ~ 0.0087 in)
Checking steps:
Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with
a wrench.
Align the T.D.C. mark a on the rotor with
the align mark b on the crankcase cover
when piston is at T.D.C. on compression
stroke.
NOTE:
In order to be sure that the piston is at Top
Dead Center, the punch mark c on the
exhaust camshaft and the punch mark d on
the intake camshaft must align with the cyl-
inder head surface, as shown in the illustra-
tion.
