MAINTENANCE

CARBURETOR. Bendix, Mikuni orWalbro carburetors are used. Refer toappropriate paragraphs of CARBURE-TOR SERVICE Section for overhauldetails.

SPARK PLUG. CHAMPION RN2spark plugs are used in engines withEnergy Transfer ignition systems. Re-commended spark plug gap is 0.020inch (0.5 mm).

Models with Capacitor Dischargeignition use a QNl Surface Gap resistorplug. Built-in plug gap is 0.028 inch;renew plug when gap widens to 0.060inch.

The recommendations given in CON-DENSED SERVICE DATA tables arefor normal operation. A different heatrange plug may improve performanceunder some conditions. Refer to SparkPlug Selection paragraphs of SERVICEFUNDAMENTALS Section for addi-tional information on spark plug selec-tion.

IGNITION AND TIMING. Breakerpoint gap on ET models should be0.3-0.4 mm (0.012-0.016 inch). Points

can be adjusted after removing recoilstarter, starting pulley and fan drivesheave. All models are equipped with acentrifugal timing advance which pro-vides retarded timing for starting only.Both cylinders must he timed as nearlyas possible alike. It is suggested thatpoint gap and timing be checked on onecylinder; then timing synchronized hyvarying the point gap on the othercylinder, making sure point gap onboth cylinders remains within thesetting range provided.

On models with CD ignition, bothcylinders fire simultaneously. Runningadvance is electronic and occurs at anengine speed of 2500-2800 rpm. Timingis done with a timing light at operatingspeed after first painting timing markson fixed face of drive sheave andfashioning a timing pointer as shown inFig. 1. JOHN DEERE provides atemporary timing decal as shown. Totime the engine, remove drive belt andeither spark plug. Install a dial indica-tor in spark plug hole then find andmark TDC on sheave face. Turn sheaveclockwise about 1/8 turn; then counter-clockwise until piston is 0.096 inch(2.438 mm) below TDC position. Markthe second 20° BTDC line at this point,aligning with the installed timingpointer. Remove dial indicator andreinstall spark plug. Connect the powertiming light to either spark plug, thenstart and run engine at 3000 rpm orfaster. Spark should occur when 20°BTDC mark aligns with timing pointer.If timing is incorrect, remove starter,flywheel housing, flywheel and alter-nator stator. Loosen the four screwssecuring timing ring (T—Fig. 2) tocrankcase and move timing ring coun-ter-clockwise to advance the timing orclockwise to retard timing. Because

both Spark plugs fire at the same time,timing needs to be checked for only onecylinder.

LUBRICATION. The engine is lubri-cated by oil mixed with the fuel. Themanufacturer recommends Regular orPremium gasoline and a good ashlessTwo-Cycle Oil which meets BIA Speci-fication TC-W. Do not use no-leadgasoline. Refer also to Vehicle Manu-facturers recommendations and to Two-Cycle Lubrication in ENGINE DESIGNFUNDAMENTALS Section of thismanual.

COOLING FAN AND BELT. Fanhell tension is correct when deflectionis approximately 9 mm (3/8 inch) onReed Valve Engines or 6 mm (V4 inch)on Piston Ported Engines; measured

DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEM-BLY. Although similar in appearance,disassembly procedures differ betweenthe Third Port Engines shown in Fig. 7and Reed Valve Models shown in Fig.8. Refer to the appropriate followingparagraphs for procedures.

THIRD PORT ENGINES. Refer toFig. 5 for cooling fan and associatedparts and to Fig. 9 for main enginecomponents.

To disassemble the removed engine,first remove spark plugs and cylindershroud, then remove inlet and exhaustmanifolds leaving carburetor attachedto inlet manifold. Cylinder heads andcylinders can now be removed for topend work. Crankcase disassembly willrequire remov^al of fan housing, fly-wheel and housing plate.

Identify pistons for reinstallation andnote that arrows on piston crown pointto exhaust side. Use a suitable pistonpin tool for pin removal or heat thepiston.

To separate the crankcase, removeretaining bolts and break sealant gripby tapping upper crankcase half lightlywith a soft hammer as shown in Fig.10. DO NOT attempt to pry crankcasehalves apart with a screwdriver orsimilar tool. Prying can damage matingsurfaces.

When reassembling crankcase, lubri-cate crankshaft components thoroughly

Use a heat gun or other suitablemeans to thoroughly warm the pistonbefore removing piston pin. Note thatexhaust port locating arrows on tops ofpistons angle outward toward ends ofshaft.

To assemble the engine, suitablysupport upper half of crankcase oncylinder studs and position bearingretaining half-washers in their groovesas shown by arrows. Fig. 18.

Piston rings are pinned in place. Toprings on most 1977 and later enginesare Semi-Keystone type. On otherrings recommended side clearance is0.0012-0.0028 inch (0.03-0.07 mm). Rec-ommended piston clearance in cylinderis 0.0055-0.007, with a wear limit of0.008.

CONNECTING RODS, CRANK-SHAFT AND BEARINGS. The crankshaft and connecting rods, includingcenter main bearings and seals, areonly available as an assembly. Measureside shake of connecting rod at smallend after removing cylinders andpistons. If shake exceeds 3.0 mm (1/8inch) install a new or rebuilt crankshaftassembly. Outer end bearings can berenewed if care is used in removal andinstallation to keep from damagingshaft in any of its built-up joints.Support shaft on V-blocks on installedouter bearings and measure runout atends of shaft using a dial indicator.

DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEM-BLY. To disassemble the removedengine, first remove coil cover, coils,electronic pack and spark plugs. Re-move intake and exhaust manifoldsleaving fuel pump attached to manifold.

Remove coolant pump cover, recoilstarter, starter cup and coolant pumpdrive pulley. Remove coolant pump andflywheel housing.

Cylinder head and cylinders can nowbe removed for service on pistons,rings and cylinders. Crankcase disas-sembly will require removal of fanhousing, flywheel, alternator stator andignition timing ring. Before removingtiming ring, punch-mark the installedposition to aid in timing during assem-bly.

Identify pistons for reinstallation andnote that arrows on piston crown pointto exhaust side and angle outwardtoward end of crankcase as shown in

To separate the crankcase, removeretaining bolts and break sealant gripby tapping upper crankcase half lightlywith a soft hammer. DO NOT attemptto pry crankcase halves apart with ascrewdriver or similar tool. Someengines have a pto-end seal guardwhich must he removed before crank-case halves can he separated.

When assembling crankcase, lubri-cate crankshaft components thoroughlyand install on each end of crankshaft,lips inward. Be sure retaining half-washers (Arrows—Fig. 26) are installedin their grooves in upper crankcasehalf. Coat both crankcase flanges witha suitable non-hardening sealant. Repo-sition crankshaft assembly and installcrankcase lower half, being sure loca-ting dowels seat properly.

Piston rings are pinned in place. Toprings are semi-keystone type. Recom-mended piston ring end gap is 0.012-0.016 inch (0.3-0.4 mm). Recommendedpiston clearance in cylinder is 0.0056-0.007, with a wear limit of 0.008.

CONNECTING RODS, CRANK-SHAFT AND BEARINGS. The crankshaft and connecting rods, includingcenter main bearings and seals, areonly available as an assembly. Measureside shake of connecting rod at smallend after removing cylinders andpistons. If side shake exceeds 3.0 mm(1/8 inch) install a new or rebuiltcrankshaft assembly. Outer end bear-ings can be renewed if care is used inremoval and installation to keep fromdamaging shaft in any of its built-upjoints. Support shaft on "V" blocks atouter bearings, and measure runout atends of shaft using a dial indicator. Ifrunout exceeds 0.002 inch (0.05 mm),renew or straighten shaft.

REED VALVE UNITS. Refer to Fig.32 for a removed view of reed valveunit. Inset shows an exploded view.Valve leaf is of stainless spring steeland seating surface of reed plate has abonded plastic coating. One shim mustbe installed underneath valve leaf toproperly position the leaf. Reed stop iscarefully arched for best performanceand should not be reformed. Do notattempt to straighten a bent ordamaged reed or bend the stop in anattempt to alter performance. Renewreed or reed stop if damaged in anyway and reed plate if seating surfacecoating is damaged. Tighten reed plateretaining screws evenly and securely to
