Testing the Engine

It is recommended that the engine be operated on a
test stand or bench prior to installation in the piece of
equipment.
1. Set the engine up on a test stand. Install an oil
pressure gauge. Start the engine and check to be
certain that oil pressure (5 psi or more) is
present.

mid-range. Adjust the throttle and choke controls
and the high-speed setting as necessary. Make
sure the maximum engine speed does not exceed
3300 RPM. Adjust the carburetor idle fuel needle
and/or idle speed screw as necessary. Refer to
the ''Fuel System and Governor'' section.
