IMPORTANT
To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, cooling air
must pass freely through the cylinder n area. This ow of air car-
ries 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 ns is
considered “Normal Maintenance.” Any failure attributed to lack of
maintenance is not warranted.
1. Remove spark plug lead from spark plug.
2. Remove mufer cover bolt (A)
3. Remove four screws that retain the engine cover. Two at the top
of the Recoil Starter, two on either side of the front. Lift the cover
from the engine.
