NOTE:
Insufficient compression pressure will result in a loss of performance.
1. Measure:
Valve clearance Out of specification →Adjust.
Refer to "ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEARANCE" on page 3-3.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it off.
3. Remove:

5. Disconnect:
6. Remove:
CAUTION: Before removing the spark plug, use compressed air to blow away any dirt accumulated in the spark plug well to prevent it from falling into the cylinder. |
7. Install:
8. Measure:
a. Set the main switch to "ON".
b. With the throttle wide open, crank the engine until the reading on the compression gauge stabilizes.
c. If the compression pressure is above the maximum specification, check the cylinder head, valve surfaces and piston crown for carbon deposits.
Carbon deposits Eliminate.
d. If the compression pressure is below the minimum specification, pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark plug bore and measure again.
Refer to the following table.
