OIL PRESSURE INSPECTION
1. Check:
lOil pressure
Checking steps:
lSlightly loosen the oil pressure check bolt
1.
lStart the engine and keep it idling until oil
starts to seep from the oil pressure check
bolt. If no oil comes out after one minute,
turn the engine off so it will not seize.
lCheck oil passages and oil pump for dam-
age or leakage.
lStart the engine after solving the prob-
lem(s) and recheck the oil pressure.
lTighten the oil pressure check bolt.

PILOT SCREW ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust:
lPilot screw 1
Adjustment steps:
NOTE:
To optimize the fuel flow at a smaller throttle
opening, each machine’s pilot screw has
been individually set at the factory. Before
adjusting the pilot screw, turn it in fully and
count the number of turns. Record this num-
ber as the factory-set number of turns out.
lTurn in the pilot screw until it is lightly
seated.
lTurn out the pilot screw by the factory-set
number of turns.
Pilot screw:
1-3/4 turns out (example)

ENGCRANKCASE AND CRANKSHAFT
REMOVAL POINTS
Crankcase
1. Separate:
lRight crankcase
lLeft crankcase
Separation steps:
lRemove the crankcase bolts 1, hose
guide 2 and clutch cable holder 3.
NOTE:
Loosen each bolt 1/4 of a turn at a time and
after all the bolts are loosened, remove
them.
lRemove the right crankcase 4.
NOTE:
lPlace the crankcase with its left side
downward and split it by inserting a screw-
driver tip into the splitting slit a in the
crankcase.
lLift the right crankcase horizontally while
lightly patting the case splitting slit and
engine mounting boss using a soft ham-
mer, and leave the crankshaft and trans-
mission with the left crankcase.
CAUTION:
Use soft hammer to tap on the case half.
Tap only on reinforced portions of case.
Do not tap on gasket mating surface.
Work slowly and carefully. Make sure the
case halves separate evenly. If one end
“hangs up”, take pressure off the push
screw, realign, and start over. If the
cases do not separate, check for a
remaining case screw or fitting. Do not
force.
lRemove the dowel pins and O-ring.

CAUTION:

l
The carburetor is extremely sensitive to
foreign matter (dirt, sand, water, etc.).
During installation, do not allow foreign
matter to get into the carburetor.
l
Always handle the carburetor and its
components carefully. Even slight
scratches, bends or damage to carbure-
tor parts may prevent the carburetor from
functioning correctly. Carefully perform
all servicing with the appropriate tools
and without applying excessive force.
l
When the engine is stopped or when
riding at no load, do not open and close
the throttle unnecessarily. Otherwise, too
much fuel may be discharged, starting
may become difficult or the engine may
not run well.
l
After installing the carburetor, check that
the throttle operates correctly and opens
and closes smoothly.
Atmospheric conditions and carburetor
settings
The air density (i.e., concentration of oxygen
in the air) determines the richness or lean-
ness of the air/fuel mixture. Therefore, refer
to the above table for mixture settings.
That is:
l
Higher temperature expands the air with its
resultant reduced density.
l
Higher humidity reduces the amount of oxy-
gen in the air by so much of the water vapor
in the same air.
l
Lower atmospheric pressure (at a high alti-
tude) reduces the density of the air.
