Defective oil seals and gaskets or<br />
cracks in castings are the usual<br />
causes of leaks. Such faults allow<br />
supplementary air to enter the<br />
engine and thus upset the fuel-air<br />
mixture.<br />
This makes adjustment of the<br />
prescribed idle speed difficult, if<br />
not impossible.<br />
Moreover, the transition from idle<br />
speed to part or full throttle is not<br />
smooth.<br />
The crankcase can be checked<br />
thoroughly for leaks with the .<br />
carburetor and crankcase tester<br />
and the vacuum pump.<br />
• Remove mounting screws from<br />
underside of machine.<br />
• Take out the screw.<br />
• Remove baffle from guide in<br />
upper casing.<br />
• Clean baffle or fit a new one.<br />
Note: If baffle is equipped with<br />
spark arresting screen, make sure<br />
the spark arresting screen is refitted.<br />
Reassemble in the reverse<br />
sequence.<br />
Note: Install a new gasket.<br />
Tighten screws of upper casing to<br />
4 Nm (3 Ibf.ft) and muffler mounting<br />
screws to 11.5 Nm (8.5 Ibf.ft).<br />
• Pull out the muffler.<br />
• Remove the gasket.<br />
