Spark Plug; Cooling System; Muffler - Husqvarna K650 Cut-n-break Operator's Manual

Fitting the starter
• To fit the starter, first pull out the starter cord and place the
starter in position against the crankcase. Then slowly
release the starter cord so that the pulley engages with
the pawls.
• Assemble the starter and tighten the screws.
• Fit the cylinder cover and filter cover.

Spark plug

The spark plug condition is influenced by:
• Incorrect carburettor adjustment.
• Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil).
• A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes,
which may result in operating problems and starting
difficulties.
• If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first
before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty,
clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The
spark plug should be replaced after about a month in
operation or earlier if necessary.
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type!
Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder.

MAINTENANCE

Cooling system

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.
The cooling system consists of:
1 Air intake on the starter.
2 Air guide plate.
3 Fins on the flywheel.
4 Cooling fins on the cylinder.
5 Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).
Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the machine overheating which causes
damage to the piston and cylinder.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct
the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust gases
are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire if
directed against dry and combustible material.
Never use a machine with a defective muffler.
