IMPORTANT  

To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, cooling air must 

pass freely through the cylinder fin area. This flow of air carries 
combustion heat away from the engine.

Overheating and engine seizure can occur when:
•  Air intakes are blocked, preventing cooling air from reaching the 

cylinder.

•  Dust and grass build up on the outside of the cylinder. This build-up 

insulates the engine and prevents the heat from leaving.

Removal of cooling passage blockages or cleaning of cooling fins is 

considered “Normal Maintenance.”  Any failure attributed to lack of 
maintenance is not warranted.

  1.  Remove accumulated debris from crankcase intake grill above 

the fuel tank.

Tools required:  

T-Wrench, Feeler gauge 

Use only BPMR-8Y spark plug otherwise severe engine damage 
may occur.

  1.  Remove spark plug and check for fouling, worn and rounded 

center electrode.

  2.  Clean the plug or replace with a new one.  DO NOT sand blast 

to clean. Remaining sand will damage engine.

  3.  Adjust spark plug gap by bending outer electrode.

  4.  Tighten spark plug to 150-170 kg/cm (130-150 in. lb.).
