WARNING
When the engine is started with the check
bolt removed, oil will spout; therefore, al-
ways loosen it before the checkup.
b. Start the engine and keep it idling until oil starts to seep from the oil pressure check
bolt.

WARNING
Always keep the engine idling speed during
the checkup without increasing the engine
speed.
ECA
NOTICE
If no engine oil seeps out after one minute,
immediately turn the engine off so it will not
seize.
c. If no engine oil seeps out, check the engine oil for leaks, and t he engine oil passage and
the oil pump for damage.

EAS2GC1098ADJUSTING THE ENGINE IDLING SPEED
TIP
• Because the air pressure is lower at high alti-tudes, the air-fuel mixture will become richer.
If the idling speed is low, turn the starter knob/
idle screw a few clicks counterclockwise to in-
crease the speed before the adjustment.
• Before adjusting the engine idling speed, make sure that the air filter element is not
clogged, the engine compression is proper,
and the throttle grip free play is proper.
• Adjust the engine idling speed with the starter
knob/idle screw pushed in completely.
1. Start the engine, and warm this up until the oil has reached the specified temperature.
TIP
This model is equipped with an engine auto-
stop system. The engine stops automatically if
left idling for 7 minutes. If the engine stops,
push the start switch or push down the kick-
starter lever to restart the engine.
2. Attach the pocket tester with temperature probe “1” to the oil drain bolt.
3. Install: • Digital tachometer
TIP
Get the high tension cord “1” of the ignition coil
pinched in the detector “a” of the digital tachom-
eter.
4. Measure:• Engine idling speed
Out of specification  Regulate.
5. Adjust: • Engine idling speed
