MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE REGULAR SERVICE PERIOD (2) Each First Every Every Every Refer month year 2 years ITEM Perform at every indicated months page month or operating hour 20 hrs. 300 hrs. 500 hrs. interval, whichever comes 100 hrs. first.
MAINTENANCE ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK Place the engine on a level surface. Start the engine and allow it to warm up for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the oil level dipstick (1), and wipe it clean. Insert the oil level dipstick into the oil level pipe (2). Remove the oil level dipstick and check oil level shown on the tip of the level dipstick.
MAINTENANCE ENGINE OIL CHANGE Drain the oil in the engine while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely. Place the engine on a level surface and place a suitable container under the drain plug bolt (1). Remove the oil filler cap (2) from the head cover (3) and the drain plug bolt to drain the oil into a suitable container.
MAINTENANCE AIR CLEANER CHECK/CLEANING A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. If the engine is operated in dusty areas, clean the air cleaner more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. Operating the engine without the air filters or with the filter installed loosely will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
MAINTENANCE AIR CLEANER REPLACEMENT Remove the air cleaner cover (page 3-5). Remove the wing nut and air cleaner filters (page 3-5). Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner case and the air cleaner cover, using a rag. Check the air cleaner case packing for deterioration or damage.
MAINTENANCE SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT If the engine has been running, the engine will be very hot. Allow it to cool before proceeding. Remove the spark plug cap, and then remove the spark plug using a spark plug wrench (page 3-6). Verify the new spark plug gap is correct (page 3-6).
MAINTENANCE Clean the carbon deposits from the spark arrester screen (1) with a wire brush. Check the spark arrester screen for damage. If the screen is damaged, replace the spark arrester. Reinstall the spark arrester to the muffler. Install the muffler protector (side mount type only). IDLE SPEED CHECK/ADJUSTMENT Start the engine and allow it to warm up to normal operating temperature.

MAINTENANCE Insert a thickness gauge between the valve rocker arm (1) and valve stem (2) to measure the valve clearance. VALVE CLEARANCE: IN: 0.08 ± 0.02 mm EX: 0.10 ± 0.02 mm Set the piston of the No.2 cylinder at the top dead center of the cylinder compression stroke (both valves fully closed) by rotating the flywheel (1) 270 degrees clockwise slowly.
MAINTENANCE COMBUSTION CHAMBER CLEANING Remove the cylinder (page 14-2). Prepare a cylinder of a thick paper or equivalent material (1), which diameter is as large as to fit against the inner wall of the cylinder, and insert the paper into the cylinder.
MAINTENANCE FUEL TUBE CHECK Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when han- dling fuel. • Keep heat, sparks and flame away. • Handle fuel only outdoors. • Wipe up spills immediately. Remove the air cleaner case (page 6-3). Check the fuel tube (1) for deterioration, cracks or signs of leakage.
TROUBLESHOOTING BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING • Use a known-good battery for troubleshooting. • Check that the connectors are connected securely. • Check the sufficient fresh fuel in the fuel tank. • Read the circuit tester's operation instructions carefully, and observe the instructions during inspection. •...

HIGH-COMPRESSION ENGINE TECHNICAL FEATURES OUTLINE The GX630/GX630R/GX660/GX660R/GX690/GX690R engines have more combustion efficiency and cylinder cooling capability than previous models. This results in increased the compression (increased to 9.3 from 8.3) and higher engine output. FEATURE Combustion efficiency and intake/exhaust efficiency improvement Combustion efficiency improvement: The S/V ratio (Surface Volume ratio of the combustion chamber) and resulting thermal efficiency have been increased by making the combustion chamber hemispherical.
Page 143
Knocking tends to occur when the compression ratio is increased, and the engine can be damaged by gas vibration and high temperature in the combustion chamber. The GX630/GX630R/GX660/GX660R/GX690/GX690R engines are equipped with the C.D.I ignition coil that sets the optimum ignition timing in accordance with the engine speed to prevent knocking.
