1. ABOUT THIS MANUAL The ‘GT120THU maintenance manual’ explains about periodic inspection and maintenance of GT120THU, and about repair when it has an operation failure. It is of vital importance, before maintenance of the engine, to read this manual and adhere to the advice contained herein.
④ Mount the engine in the aircraft surely following the manufacturer’s instruction. ⑤ Keep unauthorized people away from the engine more than 30 meters before starting it, also do not allow them coming close to a running engine, or there is a possibility of injury. ⑥...
(7) Keep your own memo to remind you how to re-assemble the engine as it was in case the “5. Exploded view” does not help you assembling the engine. (8) Clean the dirt and old oil from the engine parts after disassembling, also remove the liquid gasket which has applied on joint parts.
④ Check the air cleaner ⑤ Check the plug cap and high-tension cord ⑥ Check the spark plug ⑦ Check the throttle linkage and the chock linkage ⑧ Check the throttle servo and the choke servo ⑨ Check all the screws. ⑩...

In case you find large dents and losses of the cooling fins, replace the damaged parts. Remove the foreign objects between the fins if there are. Unusual oil on the surface of the engine often tells a crack on the surface. Replace the part if it is damaged.

(4) Inspection of the air filter ①Check for the damages on the air filter: cracks, tears, wears, deformation, and deterioration. Replace the air filter set in case of any damage. ②Remove visible foreign objects from the surface of the air filter with fingers. Do not use compressed air otherwise the air filter will get damage.

⑤For general information of the spark plug, visit the homepage of the manufacturer. http://www.ngk-sparkplugs.jp/english/index.html ⑥For further information other than the above, visit the following homepage and refer to Advisory Circular 43. 13-1B, 8-15~17. https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_43.13-1B_w-chg1.pdf ⑦Re-install the spark plug after the inspection. The fastening torque is 12N・m. (7) Inspection of the throttle linkage and the choke linkage ①Check for damages on the throttle arm, the choke arm, the servo horns, the link rods, the ball links, and the linkage balls (missing, crack, scratch, and deformation).
The cable between the starter switch SSW-100 and the power source The cable between the generator OGA-200 and the regulate rectifier ORF-200 The cable between the regulate rectifier ORF-200 and the power supply destination The cable between the throttle servo and the receiver The cable between the choke servo and the receiver Check for damage on the connectors of the above: loosening, scratch, deformation, disconnection.
i) Measure the resistance between each three of the connectors, which were disconnected in the above process. ii) In case the average of the phase-to phase resistance measured is 65mΩ±5mΩ, and the deviation is 10mΩ or more, replace the generator. iii) Connect the cables of the generator after inspection or replacement.
WARNING When you wash the part with gasoline or kerosene, carry out the work only outdoors or in well ventilated area away from any source of fire to prevent a fire. iii) Remove the carbon sticking to the combustion chamber and the exhaust port. iv) Check the cylinder inner wall for vertical scoring.
Note 2: The piston is barrel shaped. Do not use a standard micrometer to measure the diameter precisely. Use a blade micrometer. viii) Measure the inner diameter of the piston pin hole (Fig. 11) with an internal caliper gauge. Replace the piston in case the measured inner diameter is more than φ9.140mm. Note: Measure the piston pin hole at both ends vertically and horizontally.
iii) Check the balancing of the crankshaft using a dial indicator (see Fig.13). If the value is more than 0.100, replace the crankshaft assembly. iv) Measure the big end of the connecting rod our of round with a dial indicator. In case the value is more than 0.120, replace the crankshaft assembly.
in order at which they were minding the front side and the back side. Fastening torque of the four screws is 0.8N・m. Remove the 4 screws, Plate 2, Sheet 3, and 4 (See Fig.15). Check Sheet 3 and 4 (Fig.15) for any deformation and hardening.
⑩Inspection and maintenance of the starter gears Remove the gears from the engine. Wash the gears with kerosene or gasoline. Check the gears for damages or uneven wear of the teeth. Replace the gears if there are damages and uneven wears. WARNING When you wash the parts with gasoline or kerosene, carry out the work only outdoors or in well ventilated area away from any source of fire to prevent a fire.
