Reassembly
Prepare the Engine for Operation
The engine is now completely reassembled. Before
starting or operating the engine, be sure the following
have been done.
1. All hardware is tightened securely.
2. The oil drain plug, Oil Sentry™ pressure switch
(if so equipped), and a new oil filter are installed.
3. The crankcase is filled with the correct amount,
weight, and type of oil.
Testing the Engine
It is recommended that the engine be operated on a
test stand or bench prior to installation in the piece of
equipment.
1. Set the engine up on a test stand. Install an oil
pressure gauge. Start the engine and check to be
certain that oil pressure (5 psi or more) is present.
2. Run the engine for 5-10 minutes between idle and
mid-range. Adjust the throle and choke controls
and the high-speed seing as necessary. Make
sure the maximum engine speed does not exceed
3300 RPM. Adjust the carburetor idle fuel needle
and/or idle speed screw as necessary. Refer to
Section 5, Fuel System and Governor.
Install Drain Plug, Oil Filter, and Oil
1. Install the oil drain plug and torque to 14 N·m
(125 in. lb.).
2. Place a new replacement filter in a shallow pan
with the open end up. Pour new oil of the proper
type, in through the threaded center hole. Stop
pouring when the oil reaches the boom of the
threads. Allow a minute or two for the oil to be
absorbed by the filter material.
3. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the rubber gasket
on the new filter. Install the new oil filter to the
filter adapter or oil cooler. Refer to instructions
on the oil filter for proper installation. See Figure
10-84. Fill the crankcase with new oil of the
proper type, to the “F” mark on the dipstick.
