ADJUSTING THE IDLE SPEED
If the engine will not idle properly:
1. Start the engine. Refer to Starting and Stopping.
2. Move the cruise control to the LO (slow) position and let the
engine idle. If the engine stops, increase the idle speed. Use a
small Phillips screwdriver to turn the idle speed screw clockwise,
1/8 of a turn at a time, until the engine idles smoothly (Fig. 19).
MAINTAINING THE SPARK PLUG
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. Grasp the spark plug boot
firmly and pull it from the spark plug.
2. Clean around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug from the
cylinder head with a 5/8-inch socket, turning counterclockwise.
WARNING:
Do not sand blast, scrape or clean spark plug
electrodes. Grit in the engine could damage the cylinder.
3. Inspect the spark plug. If the spark plug is cracked, fouled or
dirty, replace it with replacement part #753-06193, a Champion
RDJ7J or an equivalent spark plug.
4. Use a feeler gauge to set the air gap at 0.025 in. (0.635 mm)
(Fig. 20).
5. Install the spark plug in the cylinder head. Tighten the spark plug
with a 5/8-inch socket, turning it clockwise until snug.
NOTE: If using a torque wrench, torque to:
110-120 in.•lb. (12.3-13.5 N•m). Do not over tighten.
6. Reattach the spark plug boot.
CLEANING
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always stop
the engine and allow it to cool before cleaning or maintaining
the unit.
Use a small brush to clean the outside of the unit. Do not use strong
detergents. Household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as
pine and lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage
plastic. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
STORAGE
•
Never store a fueled unit where fumes may reach an open flame
or spark.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing.
•
Lock up the unit to prevent unauthorized use or damage.
•
Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
•
Store the unit out of the reach of children.
Long-term Storage
1. Remove the fuel cap, tip the unit and drain the fuel into an
approved container. Reinstall the fuel cap.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This ensures
that all fuel has been drained from the carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 5
drops of any high-quality motor oil or 2-cycle oil into the
cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall
the spark plug.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it for any loose or
damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and tighten
loose screws, nuts or bolts.
