3. AIR CLEANER ELEMENT (Replace)
MOOSAKHThe air cleaner element will become dirty and loaded with dust
during use, and the filtering effect will be substantially reduced.
Replace it with a new one.

(1) Disconnect the air-flow sensor connector.
(2) Remove the air intake hose from the air-flow sensor.
(3) Unclamp the air cleaner cover.
(4) Remove the air cleaner cover and air-flow sensor.
CautionRemove the air cleaner cover with care not to give
shock to the air-flow sensor.
(5) Take out the air cleaner element.

(1) Remove the clutch booster vacuum pipe mounting bolt.
(2) Disconnect the air-flow sensor connector.
(3) Remove air intake hose A from the air-flow sensor.
(4) Unclamp the air cleaner cover.
(5) Remove the air cleaner cover and air-flow sensor.
CautionRemove the air cleaner cover with care not to give
shock to the air-flow sensor.
(6) Take out the air cleaner element.
4. SPARK PLUGS (Replace)
MOOSAOIThe spark plugs must fire properly to assure proper engine
performance and emission-control.
Therefore, they should be replaced periodically with new ones.
Spark plug
NGKPFRGJ-1 1
NIPPON DENS0
PK20PR-PI 1Spark plug gap: 1.0
- 1.1 mm LO39 - -043 in.)
NOTEFor the platinum plug, use care not to damage the platinum tip.
Specified torque: 25 Nm (15
ft.lbs.15. TIMING BELT (Replace)
MOOSBADReplace the belt with a new one periodically to assure proper
engine performance.
For removal and installation procedures, refer to GROUP 11

12. REMOVAL OF TIMING BELT(1) Align the timing marks.
(2) Make a mark on the back of the timing belt indicating
the direction of rotation so it may be reassembled in the
same direction if it is to be reused.
(3) Loosen the center bolt on the tensioner pulley to
remove the timing belt.
Caution
Water or oil on the belt shorten its life drastically, sothe removed timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner
must be free from oil and water. These parts should
not be washed. Replace parts if seriously contamin-
ated.
If there is oil or water on each part check. the front
case oil seals, camshaft oil seal and water pump for
leaks.SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATION

13. INSTALLATION OF AUTO TENSIONER
(‘I) If the auto tensioner rod is in its fully extended position,
reset it as follows.@ Keep the auto tensioner level
and: in that position,
clamp it in the vise with soft jaws.@ Push in the rod little by little with the vise until the
set hole @ in the rod is aligned with that @ in the
cylinder.
CautionPush in the rod slowly to prevent the push rod
from being damaged.@ Insert a wire [I
.4 mm (.055 in.) in diameter] into the
set
ho&.@ Unclamp the auto tensioner from the vise.
(2) Install the auto tensioner.
CautionLeave the wire installed in the auto tensioner.
