  • Page 28: Electrical System

    Repair Instructions Electrical system The engine is equipped with an electronic ignition system completely without moving parts. Consequently, a faulty component cannot be repaired, but must be replaced by a new component. The spark in an electronic ignition system has a very short burn time and can therefore be interpreted as weak and can be difficult to see while troubleshooting.
  • Page 29 Electrical system If there is still no spark, remove the short-circuit cable from the short-circuit switch. Carefully remove the switch by inserting a small screwdriver or knife into the short end of the ignition switch. See figure 23. If the plug now sparks, the fault is either in the ignition switch or the short-circuit cable.
  • Page 30 Repair Instructions Still no spark? Check other cables and connections for poor contacts (dirt, corrosion, cable breakage and damaged insulation). See figure 27. Make sure that the cables are correctly drawn and lie in the cable grooves. Do not forget to check the cables in the throttle too. See chapter “6.6 Dismantling the throttle”.

If these components are worn, idling is disrupted. Always replace the valves and dampers at the same time.
  • Page 39 Fuel system Fit the carburettor needles. Screw them in so that they just reach the bottom of the needle seat. See figure 54. Then screw them out according to the basic setting: H = 2 turns L = 1 turns NOTE! The H-needle is a little shorter than the L-needle.

  • Page 40: Carburettor Settings

    Repair Instructions Fitting the carburettor Make sure the carburettor outlet and the distance piece flange are free from oil, grease, and adhesive film (from the old gasket). Connect the fuel hoses to the carburettor. Hold the carburettor against the air filter holder and push in the carburettor screws.
  • Page 41 Fuel system The setting of the carburettor can vary a little depending on the humidity, temperature and air pressure. L = Low speed needle H = High speed needle T = Idle adjustment screw • The fuel quantity in relation to the air flow permitted by the throttle opening is adjusted by the L and H jets.
  • Page 42 Repair Instructions Fine adjustment Idling speed T-screw Fine adjustment of the carburettor should be Let the engine idle for about 30 seconds or until carried out after the engine has been “run-in”. the speed has stabilized. Adjust the idling speed It is important that the air filter is clean and that T-screw until the engine idles without stopping.

  • Page 44: Cylinder And Piston

    Repair Instructions Cylinder and piston The cylinder and the piston are two of the components exposed to most strain in the engine. They must withstand, for example, high speeds, large temperature swings and high pressure. Moreover, they must be resistant to wear. Despite these tough working conditions, major piston and cylinder failure is relatively uncommon.

  • Page 45: Cleaning And Inspection

    Cylinder and piston Push the gudgeon pin from the piston using punch no. 502 52 42-01. See figure 62. If the pin is too tight, carefully warm the piston. NOTE! Make sure the spacer washers on each side of the needle bearing are not misplaced.
