Chapter 8 PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Fuel Control Link Ball Joint - Inspect
Check ball joint in the fuel control link for looseness or
sluggish movement. If the amount of looseness is 0.1
mm [0.004 in.] or more, replace the ball joint with the
new one.
If the sealed ball joints are found loosened, contact
a dealer of MHIET. If the seal on the ball joint is
broken, the engine is no longer covered under
warranty.
If the ball joints are integrated with the control link,
replace the control link assembly. When installing ball
joints, be sure to tighten the nuts firmly.
