REMOVAL OF POWER HEAD FROM
ENGINE COVER, AND REASSEMBLY
1. Place a screwdriver blade through the air intake slots
of the starter to retain the pulley mechanism in the
starter housing. NOTE: The starter may be removed if
desired, bul removal is not required.
2. Remove the air cleaner and cover. Remove the two
slotted hex head screws inside the air filter chamber,
but DO NOT REMOVE the two brass bushings and the
deflector because lhe bushings hold the carburetor
and spacer in place inside the engine cover.
3. Using a screwdriver that fits properly, remove the
four pan head cngine cover screws (two top and two
bottom).
4, Nothing else need be done belore removal of the
engine cover. Grasp the saw by the two handles and
exert pressure to work the cover oll the engine as-
sembly. The cover contains the fuel system with throt-
tle and choke controls and the fuel line attached to
the carburetor. The power head has the chain oiler,
clutch and handle bar and the magneto assembly
attached to the short block.
POWER HEAD
ENGINE COVER
NOTE: To avoid unnecessary wear of the threaded holes
for the four cover screws, the cover and power head
should be separated only when it is necessary to get at
the parts inside the cover, or make tepairs to the power
head or components attached to it.
5. To reassemble cover to engine, slide the right, front
corners of the cover onto the engine block at top and
bottom. Push cover as far lorward into place as pos-
sible, angle cover to slide it between the handb brr
and the magneto. Now jiggle and puCr lt p-
b
magneto into place.
NOTE: ll the starter assembly was not removed from the
engine cover, it may be necessaty to guide the starter
. pulley into the rolor nut while sliding the cover into
t place.
6. To fasten cover lo engine, treat the four cover screws
with Loctite prior to installation. Torque these screws
to 45 pound-inches, or about as much as you can hand-
lighten them with a blade screwdriver. Now install
the two hex head screws to lock the carburetor in
place, tightening these screws to 20 pound-inches
(minimum). Be sure to lit the air filter and cover back
into place properly before tightening lhe cover screw.
