Parts Required:   None.

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 spark plug lead and throttle cable end from the carburetor 

swivel.

 2.  Remove the four screws that retain the engine cover. Two at the top 

of the starter, two on either side of the front. Lift the cover from the 

engine and lay to the front of the pump.
