Cleaning the element (foam pad) Dip the element in the detergent and wring it out. Apply motor oil and wring out excess oil. Install element. 3. Remove the plastic inner housing by removing the six nuts around the perimeter. 4. Remove the enclosure by removing the two nuts inside the enclosure and one on the backside.
2.4 Maintenance of Fuel System 1. Remove the bowl of the fuel cock. 2. Remove the screen inside the fuel cock. 3. Remove the fuel cock. 4. Pull out the screen inside the tank. 5. Clean or replace both screens and reassemble.
2.5 Maintenance of the Exhaust System 1. Remove the outer heat shield from the muffler. 2. Bend the anti-rotation tabs back around the engine exhaust bolts. 3. Remove the bolts from the engine side of the exhaust pipe. 4. Remove the two bolts from the muffler to the generator head to separate the muffler from the generator.
2.6 Maintenance of the Ignition System 1. Check the gap between the ignition coil and the flywheel. The gap should be 0.4mm + 0.2mm, .016” + .007”. 2. Check the status of the spark from the ignition coil. It should be a blue spark and must be above 10,000 Volts.
8. Remove the spark plug. Check the cylinder pressure. Is should fall in the values noted in section 1.1 of this manual. If the plug is brown in color the engine is working normally. 9. Check for carbon build up on the spark plug. Check the gap of the spark plug. The values for the gap are found in section 1.1 of this manual.

3. Remove the screws on the outside of the generator head housing. 4. Remove the AVR (large plastic part with wires coming out) Automatic Voltage Regulator. 5. Remove the bolts in the brushes, and remove the brushes. 6. Remove the mounting nuts from the rubber engine and generator head mounts. There are four total, two under the engine and two under the generator head.

9. Remove the generator stator. 10. Check the stator and rotor for damage or burnt wires. If there are any contact marks or wires that have burnt or the insulation is melted, replace the parts. 11. To remove the rotor from the engine install the bolt that came out of the shaft center. Screw it in until only ¼”...
2.8 Maintenance of the Cylinder Head and Valve 1. Remove the spark plug. 2. Remove the valve cover head bolt located in the center of the valve cover. 3. Check the gasket of the cover. Check the condition of the valve cover gasket. 4.

13. Fill the inlet and exhaust with cleaning fluid from the parts washer and look for leaks around the valves. If there are leaks the valves will need to be lapped and inspected. 14. Clean the carbon deposits off the head. Do not gouge the head surface this will cause a hot spot and melt the head.
Page 22
18. Inspect the valve spring free height. The values are found in section 1.1 tolerance parameters table. 19. Inspect the valve stem diameter. 20. Measure the distortion value of the valve stem end with a micrometer following the 1 and 2 position in the figure.
2.9 Maintenance of the Crankcase, Crankshaft and Camshaft 1. Make sure all the oil is drained from the crankcase. 2. Remove the flange mounting bolts. See section 1.1 standard torque values. 3. Remove the crankcase cover. Slight tapping with a plastic hammer may be required. Never use a screwdriver between the cover and the crankcase or you will damage the sealing surface.
Page 24
7. Inspect the crankshaft and camshaft gears. Worn or damaged gears will need to be replaced. 8. Remove the locking pin from the governor shaft. 9. Remove the governor shaft. 10. Note the marks on the gears. They should line up with each other. Remember this for assembly.
Page 25
16. Clean the crankcase and inspect for cracks and damage. The diameters can be found in section 1.1. 17. Remove the bolt in the governor gear center and remove the governor gear. Inspect for damage. 18. Inspect the tappet surface for scratches. Both the diameter and the surface the cam rides on. 19.
22. Inspect the crankshaft rod journal. d. Diameter should be a minimum of 32.92mm, 1.2960 2.10 Maintenance of the Connecting Rod, Piston and Cylinder 1. Remove the piston from the cylinder. Remove the carbon deposits from the top of the piston. 2.
Page 27
7. Remove the piston pin and inspect. 8. Remove the connecting rod. The limits can be found in section 1.1 table. 9. Measure the piston pin. 10. Inspect the rod end cap. 11. Burnish the piston top with 400 granular sandpaper. Remove the carbon deposits of the piston ring slots with a non-metal tool taking care not to scratch the piston.
Page 28
13. Check whether the piston rings are scared or the elasticity is weak. Replace as necessary. 14. Measure the piston ring slot. Inspect for abrasion on the piston. Replace if the value is greater than the value found in section 1.1 table. 15.
2.11 Electrical System 1. Remove the panel of the generator 2. Remove the screws in the plastic panel enclosure. 3. Push in at the clip location, not the screw location, to remove the plastic panel 4. Replace outlets or switches if there is any damage. Replace any wires that may be burnt. Burnt wires are usually from loose terminals.
Chapter 3 Defect Analysis and Troubleshooting 3.1 General 3.2 Hard Starting 3.3 Ignition System Spark Test 1 Never hold the plug wire when wet. 2 There is no fuel present. 3 Do not test near the plug hole to avoid fire hazards. 1) Remove the plug and ground the electrode against the engine with the cap attached.
