ENGRADIATOR
EC456000
HANDLING NOTE
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot
fluid and steam may be blown out under
pressure, which could cause serious
injury.
When the engine has cooled, open the radi-
ator cap by the following procedure:
Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radi-
ator cap, slowly rotate the cap counter-
clockwise to the detent. This procedure
allows any residual pressure to escape.
When the hissing sound has stopped,
press down on the cap while turning coun-
terclockwise and remove it.

ENGCARBURETOR
HANDLING NOTE
CAUTION:
Do not loosen the screws (throttle position
sensor)
1 except when changing the throt-
tle position sensor due to failure because it
will cause a drop in engine performance.

REMOVAL POINTS
Pilot screw
1. Remove:
Pilot screw 1
NOTE:
To optimize the fuel flow at a small throttle
opening, each machine’s pilot screw has been
individually set at the factory. Before removing
the pilot screw, turn it in fully and count the
number of turns. Record this number as the
factory-set number of turns out.
INSPECTION
Carburetor
1. Inspect:
Carburetor body
Contamination → Clean.
NOTE:
Use a petroleum based solvent for cleaning.
Blow out all passages and jets with com-
pressed air.
Never use a wire.

ENGCAMSHAFTS
Decompression system
1. Check:
Decompression system
Timing chain tensioner
1. Check:
While pressing the tensioner rod lightly
with fingers, use a thin screwdriver 1
and wind the tensioner rod up fully clock-
wise.
When releasing the screwdriver by press-
ing lightly with fingers, make sure that the
tensioner rod will come out smoothly.
If not, replace the tensioner assembly.
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Camshaft
1. Install:
Exhaust camshaft 1
Intake camshaft 2 Checking steps:
Check that the decompression mecha-
nism cam 1 moves smoothly.
Check that the decompression mecha-
nism cam lever pin 2 projects from the
camshaft.
Installation steps:
Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with
a wrench.
NOTE:
Apply the molybdenum disulfide oil on the
camshafts.
Apply the engine oil on the decompression
system.
Squeezing the decompression lever
allows the crankshaft to be turned easily.
Align the T.D.C. mark a on the rotor with
the align mark b on the crankcase cover
when piston is at T.D.C. on compression
stroke.

ENGCYLINDER AND PISTON
Piston pin
1. Inspect:
Piston pin
Blue discoloration/grooves → Replace,
then inspect the lubrication system.
2. Measure:
Piston pin-to-piston clearance
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Piston ring and piston
1. Install:
Piston ring
Onto the piston.
NOTE:
Be sure to install the piston rings so that the
manufacturer’s marks or numbers are
located on the upper side of the rings.
Lubricate the piston and piston rings liberally
with engine oil. Measurement steps:
Measure the outside diameter (piston pin)
a.
If out of specification, replace the piston
pin.
Outside diameter (piston pin):
15.991 ~ 16.000 mm
(0.6296 ~ 0.6299 in)
Measure the inside diameter (piston) b.
Inside diameter (piston):
16.002 ~ 16.013 mm
(0.6300 ~ 0.6304 in)
Calculate the piston pin-to-piston clear-
ance with the following formula.
Piston pin-to-piston clearance =
Inside diameter (piston)
b –
Outside diameter (piston pin)
a
If out of specification, replace the piston.
Piston pin-to-piston clearance:
0.002 ~ 0.022 mm
(0.0001 ~ 0.0009 in)
: 0.07 mm (0.003 in)

NOTE:
Apply engine oil onto the piston pin and pis-
ton.
Be sure that the arrow mark a on the piston
points to the exhaust side of the engine.
Before installing the piston pin clip, cover the
crankcase with a clean rag to prevent the
piston pin clip from falling into the crankcase.
Install the piston pin clips with their ends fac-
ing downward.
