2. Liberally apply camshaft lubricant to the lobes
of the camshaft. Lubricate the camshaft bearing
surfaces of the crankcase and camshaft with
engine oil. See Figure 10-14.
3. Position the timing mark of the crankshaft gear at
the 12 o'clock position.
4. Turn the governor cross shaft clockwise until the
lower end (blade) is laying against the bottom of
the cylinder. Make sure the cross shaft remains
in this position while installing the camshaft. See
Figure 10-15.
5. Slide the camshaft into the bearing surface of
the crankcase, positioning the timing mark of
camshaft gear at the 6 o'clock position. Make sure
the camshaft gear and crankshaft gear mesh with
both timing marks aligned. See Figure 10-15.
1. If a camshaft shim was used, install the shim
removed during disassembly onto the camshaft.
2. Position the camshaft endplay checking tool on
the camshaft. See Figure 10-16.
3. Apply pressure on the endplay tool (pushing
camshaft toward crankshaft). Use a feeler gauge
to measure the camshaft endplay between
the shim (if used) and the endplay tool.
Camshaft endplay should be 0.076/0.127 mm
(0.003/0.005 in.).
