    5-4 REASSEMBLY PROCEDURES ● PRECAUTIONS FOR REASSEMBLY 1) Clean parts thoroughly before reassembly. Pay most attention to cleanliness of piston, cylinder, crankshaft, connecting rod and bearings. 2) Scrape off all carbon deposits from cylinder head, piston top and piston ring grooves. 3) Check lip of oil seals.
  • Page 24 3) Oil scraper is to be set on the magneto side. NOTE : After reassembly, confirm that the con- necting rod moves lightly. NOTE : Connecting rod cap tightening torque : EY15-3 EY20-3 9-11.5N . m 17-22N . m (90-115kg . cm) (170-200kg . cm)
  • Page 25 5-4-4 TAPPET AND CAMSHAFT Insert the tappets into the crankcase holes first, and then mount the camshaft. Timing Mark NOTE : Align the timing mark on the root of the cam gear with the one on the crank gear. If the valve timing is wrong, the engine cannot operate properly or at all.
  • Page 26 NOTE: Fig 5-24 shows one of the methods mea- suring the crankshaft side clearance between the machined face of the crankcase and shims. As a Dial Indicator paper packing is used on the machined face of the crankcase, adjust the clearance by taking this thickness of 0.22mm into account.
  • Page 27 5-4-7 TAPEET ADJUSTMENT Lower the tappet all the way down, push the valve, and insert a thickness gauge between the valve and tappet stem to measure the clearance. (See Fig.5-28.) NOTE: The correct tappet clearance for both intake and exhaust valves is 0.1mm ±0.02mm when the engine is cold.
  • Page 28 The pitch of the mounting holes and the outer circumference dimensions of the gasket for EY15-3 and EY20-3 are same. However, the inner dimensions are different each other. Furthermore, the marking is provided at the position shown below for identification.

  • Page 30 5-5 BRAKE-IN OPERATION OF REASSEMBLED ENGINE An overhauled engine must be operated at low speed to break-in the parts. A thorough break-in is indis- pensable particularly when the cylinder, piston, piston rings or valves are replaced with new ones. The recommended break-in schedule is shown below. .
  • Page 31: Governer Adjustment

    6. GOVERNER ADJUSTMENT Models EY15-3 and EY20-3 employ a centrifugal fly- Speed Control Lever weight type governor. The governor is mounted on the governor gear and the throttle valve of the car- Rod Spring buretor is automatically regulated by a lever which is connected to the governor in order to maintain con- stant engine speed against load variations.
  • Page 32 (Longer Hook Side) Fig. 6-5 *For EY15-3 and EY20-3, the governor spring longer in the length of (A) is for 50 Hz. *Both ends of the spring for EY15-3 are bended to the same direction, while both ends of the spring for EY20-3 are bended to contrary directions.

    7. CARBURETOR 7-1 OPERATION AND CONSTRUCTION (See Fig.7-1) 7-1-1 FLOAT SYSTEM The float chamber is located just below the carburetor body, and the float (F) and the float valve (F.V) maintain a constant fuel level during engine operation. The fuel flows from the fuel tank into the float chamber through the float valve. When the fuel rises to a specific level, the float (F) rises;...
  • Page 34 7-1-2 SLOW SYSTEM The pilot system feeds the fuel to the engine during idling and low-speed operation. The fuel is fed through the main jet (M.J) to the slow jet (S.J), where it is metered, and mixed with the air metered by the slow air bleed (S.A.B).
  • Page 35 7-2-3 SLOW SYSTEM (1) Remove the slow jet (-5), using correct tool to avoid damage to it. (2) When fitting the slow jet, screw it in fully and turn it back, accurately by the rotation specified in the table of correction standards. 7-2-4 MAIN SYSTEM (1) Remove the bolt (-12) and take out float chamber body (-16).
  • Page 36: Magneto

    8. MAGNETO 8-1 FEATURES Ignition system of the model EY15-3 and EY20-3 is a maintenance-free electronic pointless magneto system. The electronic circuit is based on the cut off of the electric current by power transistor, and employs U.T.C.I. (Universal Transistor Control Ignition) circuit which always controls the ignition voltage to maxi- mum.
  • Page 37: Magneto Troubleshooting

    8-3 MAGNETO TROUBLESHOOTING When the engine does not start or starts with difficulty, or when its operation is unstable, the following checks will clarify if they are caused by a defect of the magneto. (1) Check ignition cable for possible damage, worn insulator or loose connection. (2) Check the spark.
  • Page 38 9. OIL LEVEL SENSOR (OPTION) 9-1 FUNCTION When the oil level sensor detects the insufficient level of engine oil, it halts engine for warning and protection of engine. 9-2 PRINCIPLE (1) Though it is very little, engine oil has electrical conductivity, while air is completely nonconductive. Utilizing this difference, presence of oil is identified by the current between electrodes of the sensor.

RECOIL STARTER 10-1 RECOIL STARTER (STEEL) Tools to be prepared: Driver, Pinchers (Pliers) and Protective Glasses WARNING Before starting the disassembly, make sure to wear the protective glasses. 10-1-1 DISASSEMBLY STEPS (1) Relieve the spring power -1: Hold the starter knob and extract the starter rope.
  • Page 40 -2: Hold up the reel gradually and slowly and remove it from the case. -3: If the spring in the reel likes to jump out, redo the steps of (3)-1 and (3)-2 again. WARNING Do not drop nor shake the reel. Put it on a level table because the spring is set in the disassembled reel.

(Fig.10-5) Ratchet guide (3) Tightening the set-screw. -1: Push the latchet-guide lightly by hand so that the latchet guide won’t move and tighten the set-screw. (4) Storing the spring-power. -1: Hold the case tightly and wind up the reel Friction Spring counter-clockwise 6 times by both hands.
  • Page 42 10-1-3 CHECK AFTER REASSEMBLY (1) Pull the starter knob a few times to check if : A. The starter knob is too heavy to pull, check that each part has been assembled as specified. B. The ratchet does not function, check if parts such as friction spring have been missing. (2) Pull the starter knob and pull out the rope fully to see if: A.

WARNING Since the spiral spring is set in the reel, do not drop or shake it.
  • Page 45 (4) Wind the spiral spring. -1: Hold the case tightly and rotate the reel counterclockwise until it stops. (It stops when it is wound approx. 6 turns.) -2: Turn back the reel slowly by approx. 3/4 turns and hold the reel at the position where the rope hole of the reel and the rope guide of the case are aligned.

Review the following instructions carefully for installing the engine. 11-1 INSTALLING When mounting the engine, carefully examine its position, the method of connecting it to a machine, the foundation, and the method of supporting the engine.
  • Page 48 11-5 POWER TRANSMISSION TO DRIVEN MACHINES 11-5-1 BELT DRIVE Take the following notes into consideration. * V-belts are preferable to flat belts. * The driving shaft of the engine must be parallel to the driven shaft of the machine. * The driving pulley of the engine must be in line with the driven pulley of the machine. * Install the engine pulley as close to the engine as possible.
