DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
PURPOSE OF TUNE-UP
The purpose of an engine tune-up is to restore powerand performance that may have been lost through,
loss of adjustment, wear, corrosion, or deterioration
of one or more parts or units. In the normal operat-
ion of an engine, these changes take place gradually
at quite a number of points so that it is seldom advis-able to attempt an improvement in performance by
correcting one or two items only. Time will be savedand more lasting results will be assured by following
a definite and thorough procedure of analysis and
correction of all items affecting power and perform-
ance. Because of Federal laws, limiting exhaust emis-sions, it is even more important that the engines
tune-up is done accurately, using the specifications
listed and the tune-up sticker found in each engine
compartment.
Economical, trouble free operation can better be as-sured if a complete tune-up is performed at first 4
months or
6,ooO miles of operation - then at 12
month or 12,000 mile intervals.
The parts or units which affect power and perform-
ance may be divided, into three groups (1) compres-sion, (2) ignition and (3) carburetion. The tune-up
procedure should cover these groups in the order
given. While the items affecting compression and
ignition may be handled according to individual
preference, correction of items in the carburetiongroup should not be attemplcu
ulllll all items in
compression and ignition have been satisfactorily
corrected.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
ENGINE TUNE-UP OPERATIONS
CompressionTo make sure hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide
emissions will be within limits, it is very important
that the adjustments be followed exactly.
The suggested procedure for engine tune-up is as
follows:1. Remove all spark plugs.
2. Position throttle and choke valve in full open posi-tion.
3. Connect jumper wire between distributor terminalof coil and ground on engine to avoid high tension
sparking while cranking engine.
4. Hook up starter remote control cable and turn
ignition switch to “on” position.
5. Firmly insert compression gage in spark plug port.Crank engine to obtain highest possible reading.
