IMPORTANT INFORMATION
EC133000
GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS
1. All gaskets, oil seals, and O-rings should
be replaced when an engine is over-
hauled. All gasket surfaces, oil seal lips,
and O-rings must be cleaned.
2. Properly oil all mating parts and bearings
during reassembly. Apply grease to the
oil seal lips.
EC134000
LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER
PINS
1. All lock washers/plates
1
and cotter pins
must be replaced when they are
removed. Lock tab(s) should be bent
along the bolt or nut flat(s) after the bolt
or nut has been properly tightened.
EC135001
BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS
1. Install the bearing(s)
1
and oil seal(s)
2
with their manufacturer’s marks or num-
bers facing outward. (In other words, the
stamped letters must be on the side
exposed to view.) When installing oil
seal(s), apply a light coating of light-
weight lithium base grease to the seal
lip(s). Oil the bearings liberally when
installing.
CAUTION:

Do not use compressed air to spin the
bearings dry. This causes damage to the
bearing surfaces.
EC136000
CIRCLIPS
1. All circlips should be inspected carefully
before reassembly. Always replace pis-
ton pin clips after one use. Replace dis-
torted circlips. When installing a circlip
1,
make sure that the sharp-edged corner
2 is positioned opposite to the thrust 3 it
receives. See the sectional view.

GENERAL TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
This chart specifies torque for standard fasten-
ers with standard I.S.O. pitch threads. Torque
specifications for special components or
assemblies are included in the applicable sec-
tions of this book. To avoid warpage, tighten
multi-fastener assemblies in a crisscross fash-
ion, in progressive stages, until full torque is
reached. Unless otherwise specified, torque
specifications call for clean, dry threads. Com-
ponents should be at room temperature.

Float height
1. Measure:
lFloat height a
Out of specification ® Adjust.
Float height:
8.0 mm (0.31 in)
Measurement and adjustment steps:
lHold the carburetor in an upside down
position.
lMeasure the distance between the mating
surface of the float chamber and top of the
float using a vernier calipers.
lIf the float height is not within specifica-
tion, inspect the valve seat and needle
valve.
lIf either is worn, replace them both.
lIf both are fine, adjust the float height by
bending the float tab b on the float.
lRecheck the float height.
NOTE:
lSlowly tilt the carburetor in the opposite
direction, then take the measurement
when the needle valve aligns with the float
arm.
lIf the carburetor is level, the weight of the
float will push in the needle valve, result-
ing in an incorrect measurement.
NOTE:
The float arm should be resting on the nee-
dle valve, but not compressing the needle
valve.
