1A TUNE-UP PROCEDURE
76G01A-102
76G01A-103
76G01A-104
TUNE-UP PROCEDURE
Tune the engine according to the procedures
described below.
Battery
1. Check for corrosion on the terminals, or loose ca-
ble connections.
If necessary, clean the clamps and tighten firmly.
2. Check that the electrolyte level is between the UP-
PER and LOWER marks.
Add distilled water if necessary.
3. Check the specific gravity by using a hydrometer.
If the specific gravity reading is 1.200 or less,
recharge the battery. (Refer to Section 5.)
Air Cleaner Element
Visually check the air cleaner element for excessive
dirt, damage, or oil. Replace if necessary.
Caution
Do not clean the air cleaner element with com-
pressed air, replace if necessary.
Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level and condition with the oil
level gauge.
Add oil, or change it, if necessary.

76G01A-019

1A—6

TUNE-UP PROCEDURE 1A
High-Tension Lead
Check the following points. Clean or replace if
necessary.
1. Damaged lead
2. Carbon deposits
86U01X-014
76G01A-012
49 0187 280
76G01A-013
Carburetor Float Level (Carburetor)
1. Run the engine at idle.
2. Check that the fuel level is at the center of the float
level indicator window.
If necessary, adjust the fuel float level. (Refer to Sec-
tion 4A.)
Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (12 valve)
Note
Tappet noise may occur if the engine is not
operated for an extended period of time. The
noise should stop after the engine has
reached normal operating temperature.
1. Check for tappet noise. If noise exsits, check the
following points.
(1) Engine oil condition and level
(2) Engine oil pressure (Refer to Section 2A)
2. If the noise does not stop, check for movement of
each HLA by pushing down each rocker arm by
hand while at TDC of compression stroke.
3. If the rocker arm moves down, replace the HLA.
(Refer to page 1A—75.)
