    SERIAL NUMBERS

    Pump end serial number is located on the side of the pump (1.1).

    Engine serial number is stamped on a nameplate attached to the crankcase (1.2).

    These serial numbers are the key to various design details pertaining to the original manufactureof each unit. Therefore, it is very important to specify serial numbers whenever orderingparts and tools or when requesting information.

    DIRECTIONAL REFERENCES

    All references to right side and left side of unit are made as they appear to operator when facingrewind starter, thus the carburetor is on the right side and the muffler is on the left side.

    Viewed in this manner (facing the recoil starter), the engine will rotate in a clockwise direction (1.3).

    FOR TROUBLE FREE OPERATION

    • DO NOT run engine at full speed until thoroughly warmed up.• DO NOT lift strainer out of the water while pump is operating.• DO NOT run engine with pump disconnected.

    • DO NOT run pump when dry.• Check strainer frequently to make sure that it is not clogged with moss, leaves, etc.• DO NOT use suction hose without footvalve strainer.• Remove and drain pump after final use.

    STARTER

    The starter is an automatic rewind type. A proper operating technique will add many hours of life tothe starter rope and starter.

    Grasp handle firmly and pull slowly until resistance (past compression), then continue to pull with ashort, vigorous stroke. Pulling handle sideways causes excessive wear. If kickback occurs, let go ofhandle immediately.

    When engine starts, retain grip on handle and allow rope to rewind slowly.

    Note: The rope should be replaced when wear is apparent.

    See rewind starter Servicing and Parts (page 31).

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

    Oil: API-TC certified 2-cycle mixing oil.

    Gas: Unleaded 87 octane.

    Mixing ratio: 24:1. Mix 24 parts of gasoline with 1 part of two-cycle oil.(Do not use gasoline that has a concentration of ethanol that is higher than 10%).

    Do not use poor quality oil, high detergent oil or oil with solid additives (graphite, moly, T.F.E., etc.).Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the use of correct gasoline and oil mixture.

    TIP

    If the rewind starter shouldbreak while the unit is onthe fire line, the completerewind starter assembly canbe easily removed, therebygaining access to a manualstarter pulley which ismounted on the flywheel.Using a rope, wrap aroundstarter pulley and pull.Make sure rope wrapping

    will ensure clockwiserotation (from starter view).

    CAUTION

    Not enough emphasis canbe placed on the use ofcorrect gasoline and oilmixture. Using less than therecommended portion of oilwill cause overheating andpossible engine damage.Using more than therecommended proportion of oil will cause spark plugfouling, erratic carburetion,excessive exhaust smokeand rapid carbon deposits.

    TO START MARK-3 UNIT

    1. Fill fuel supply tank with recommended fuel mixture.

    2. Connect fuel supply line to fuel supply tank (1.5).

    3. Attach fuel supply line to the adaptor located on right side of engine frame. Pump fuel to filsupply line (1.6).

    DO NOT use suction hose without footvalve strainer. DO NOT allow footvalve strainer torest on bottom of lake or riverbed.

    4. Connect footvalve strainer to male end of suction hose, then fill suction hose with water andconnect to pump. Use universal hose coupling wrench to tighten coupling firmly (1.8).

    5. Connect discharge hose , nozzles, etc., to pump. Use a rope or other means to keep straineat proper height, approximately 30 cm (1 foot) below water surface. If strainer is too close tothe water surface, it will draw air and pump may lose prime.

    6. Fill pump with water manually or using a hand primer (B-5980), then reinstall priming cap andtighten firmly (1.8).

    7. Move throttle lever to "Start" and "Warm up" position (approx. 3 increments).

    8. Close choke, if engine is cold.

    9. Slowly turn engine until resistance (past compression).

    10. Give starter rope several quick, steady pulls until engine “coughs”.

    11. Open choke slightly and pull starter rope until engine runs.

    12. Slowly open choke and allow engine to warm up for at least 2 minutes before using full throttle

    The MARK-3 engine was initially run-in at the factory. Full throttle operation can be usedprovided the engine is given a thorough warm-up period beforehand.

    Important: Failure to allow the engine to warm up may lead to piston scoring and possibly

    more serious damage.

    DIGITAL OVERSPEEED SWITCH (DOS)

    The MARK-3 unit is equipped with a digital overspeed switch. This safety device will stop theengine instantly and thereby eliminate overspeeding.

    When the DOS automatically stops the engine, this is a warning that there is a problem. Do notrestart the engine until cause of trouble has been identified and corrected.

    TO STOP MARK-3 UNIT

    1. Move throttle lever to "Stop" position.

    2. Allow unit to run for approximately 1 minute with throttle in this position.

    3. Press and hold "OFF" button on the DOS until the engine shuts down.

    4. Remove and drain pump after final use.

    RATIO AND OIL CONSIDERATIONS

    e.g.:

    20:1 30:1 40:1

    CONS

    Increased carbonizing of engine:

      • Deposits on exhaust port,piston and head

      • Excessive carbon build-up can causescoring of piston and cylinder

      • Excessive carbon build-up candecrease heat dissipation

    Need to de-carbonize more often

    Spark plug fouling

    is richer than 24:1

    e.g.:

    etc.

    is leaner than 24:130:1

    e.g.:

    CONS

    Decreased lubrication:

      •Possibility of piston / cylinderscoring / seizure

      •Engine operates hotter

    More susceptible to damagewhen operating at higher ambienttemperatures

    FUEL MIXTURE RATIO

    The ratio amount of gasoline to2 cycle mixing oil can be classifiedas either Rich or Lean.

    RICH MIXTURE RATIO

    This is when the ratio of gasolineto oil is less.

    LEAN MIXTURE RATIO

    This is when the ratio of gasolineto oil is higher.

    PROS

    Reduced carbonizing

    Fuel burns more efficiently:

    • Clean burn

    • Less pollution

    • Better performance

    • Better fuel combustion

    Fuel does not burn efficiently:

    • Reduced performance

    ENGINEOPERATING

    PROPER MIXTURE

    Wildfire recommends a mixtureratio of 24:1 using Castrol 2-StrokeSuper Stroke (or similar) for the MK-3.

    • Good lubrication

    • Good performance

    • Cost effective

    • Reduced chance of scoring of piston / cylinder

    • Possible to operate at high engine speed& temperature without damage

    • Reduced carbonizing

    • Pump end does not get dirtyfrom excessive oil

    • Engine operates at normal temperatures

    24:1

    A/F RATIO

    The ratio of the amount of AIR to the amountof FUEL being introduced into the combustionchamber

    When adjusting the idle and high speedcarburetor adjustment it is important notto adjust the carburetor too lean or toorich otherwise engine damage can result.

    RICH A/F RATIO

    • The ratio of air to fuel is lower(lower air content in the air / fuel ratio)

    • More fuel (gasoline + oil)…more lubrication

    • Engine runs cooler

    • Carbonizes easier / quicker

    • Performance decreased• Not as responsive

    • More smoking

    • Combustion not as efficient

    THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER AIR FUEL A/F RATIO

    THE IMPORTANCE OF FUEL / MIXTURE RATIO, AIR / FUEL

    RATIO AND OIL CONSIDERATIONS

    LEAN A/F RATIO

    • The ratio of air to fuel is higher(higher air content in the air / fuel ratio)

    • Less fuel (gasoline + oil) in the air / fuelmixture… less lubrication

    • Less lubrication…possible piston /cylinder scoring

    • Not good to operate in high ambienttemperatures

    • Runs hotter

    • Burns cleaner

    • Good performance (if too lean thenperformance drops off)

    ENGINEOPERATING

    A/F ADJUSTMENT: ALTITUDE VARIATIONS

    It is very important to adjust carburetor when moved from a HIGHER ALTITUDE to a LOWER ALTITUDEand vice versa.

    Example:

    At higher altitudes there is less oxygen therefore you need to adjust the carburetor to maintaina proper A/F RATIO (we need to decrease the amount of fuel in the A/F ratio…lean out). If thecarburetors (adjusted lean for high altitude) are not re-adjusted when the engine is taken down tosea level conditions (lower altitude) the engine will be operating with a much leaner A/ F RATIO (moreair at lower altitudes) and possibly cause engine damage.

    A/F ADJUSTMENTS: AIR FILTERSThe condition of the air filter can cause the A/F ratio to vary. A dirty air filter restricts the amount of air that can enter the carburetor resulting in a richer A/F ratio. Some operators make the mistake of adjusting the A/F ratio as the air filters gets dirtier by leaning out the carburetor instead of cleaning/changing the air filter. As soon as the air filter is either changed or cleaned (A/F ratio notre-adjusted) more air will be able to enter the carburetor resulting in a much leaner A/F mixture which

    can result in possible engine damage.

    A/F ADJUSTMENTS: DIFFERENT FUEL MIXTURE RATIOSThe A/F ratio and the fuel mixture ratio are closely linked. The following cases will better describehow they are related.

    LEAN A/F RATIO

    The A/F ratio is extremely critical when using a

    lean Fuel Mixture Ratio. If the carburetor isadjusted too lean, then there will be less fuel(gasoline + oil) which in turn results in decreasedlubrication. At this point the engine will beoperating hotter and if the ambient temperaturesare higher and if the engine is operating at ahigher engine speed, the possibility of enginedamage resulting is quite high. If the A/F ratio istoo lean, in addition to higher temperatures, aloss of power will also be observed.

    RICH A/F RATIO

    If the A/F ratio on the carburetor is adjusted rich,

    the engine will begin to smoke due to improper /incomplete combustion. A noticeable lack of power will be observed.

    LEAN FUEL MIXTURE RATIO

    LEAN A/F RATIO

    If the carburetor is adjusted with a lean A/F ratio,there will be less fuel (gasoline + oil) which inturn will result in a decreased lubrication. With aricher fuel mixture ratio, a lean A/F ratio settingis not as critical as with a Lean Fuel Mixture ratio.There may still be enough lubrication (dependingon the fuel mixture ratio and the A/F ratio) toprevent engine damage but caution must betaken to properly adjust the carburetors.

    RICH A/F RATIO

    When dealing with a rich fuel mixture it is criticalnot to operate the engine with a rich A/F ratio. If this happens the engine will smoke and carbondeposits will form. It will be necessary tode-carbonize the carbon deposited areas. If thedeposit formations are not removed, the engine canstart to heat up and possible scoring could resultdue to bits of the carbon breaking off and gettinglodged in between the cylinder and piston.

    A noticeable power loss will be experienced.

    ENGINEOPERATING There are different types of 2 cycle oils that

    can be used:

    • Mineral

    • Castor Bean Oil

    • Synthetic

    • Semi-synthetic

    MINERAL

    • Cost effective, not too expensive

    • Readily available

    • Leaves a nice lubricating film on the cylinderwalls and does not run off 

    • Good lubricity

    • Lubricating film on cylinder wall does not

    run off when in storage over periods of time

    • Higher ash

    • Can leave deposit formation on:- exhaust port- piston rings- piston crown

    CASTOR BEAN OIL

    • Very gummy dirty oil

    • Resists seizure under extreme conditions

    • Very high ash… much higher depositformation

    • Requires frequent disassembly for depositremoval

    • Used in racing where crucial lubricationis required and frequent disassembly,cleaning and re-assembly is performed

    SYNTHETIC

    • Mixes very well with oil since compositionof Synthetic oil is close to that of gasoline

    • Produces low ash therefore reduced depositformation

    • Leaves a thin lubricating film on cylinderwall

    • Thin lubricating film on cylinder wall hasdifficulty providing adequate lubricationwhen dealing with a hot air cooled engine

    • Much more expensive

    • Not readily available

    • Possible varnishing on cylinder walls

    • Some manufacturers may require a break-inperiod or greening of the engine

    • Cannot readily interchange from syntheticto non-synthetic and back (dependant onmanufacturers recommendations)

    • The thin lubricating film on cylinder wallscan run off during longer storage periodsleaving the surface unprotected; corrosionand dry starts leading to damage

    • Dyno test have not shown an increase inperformance using synthetic oil

    SEMI-SYNTHETIC• A compromise between synthetic and

    mineral based oils

    • Higher cost

    • Not always readily available

    • Has a lesser degree of run off 

    OIL CONSIDERATIONS

    CONCLUSIONWildfire suggests using Castrol 2 Stroke Super Stroke or similarmixing oil due to the positive results when used in the MK-3 at a24:1 mixture ratio. Tests have been conducted using synthetic andsemi-synthetic oils but found varying results with variations infuel quality and oil quality with some results leading to pistondamage or piston ring sticking.

    COLD OPERATION

    In cold operation, it isgood practice to put asmall quantity ofaluminum compatibleantifreeze into the pumpend through the primingcap immediately afteruse to prevent damagefrom freezing.

    FLOODINGFlooding refers to an accumulation of excess fuel in cylinder, mainly due to excessive use of choke.

    When the engine is in a flooded condition, an over-rich fuel-air mixture is induced into the cylinder.This mixture does not ignite readily and usually fouls the spark plug.

    CLEARING A FLOODED ENGINERemove fuel supply line from engine or close fuel supply valve (if equipped). Remove spark plug. Withboth choke and throttle in fully open position, pull starter rope several times until excess fuel isexhausted. Before reinstalling spark plug, clean and dry electrode and insulator tip.

    COLD WEATHERRecommended Procedure for Cold Weather or Prolonged Storage

    The following procedure is recommended to ensure proper protection of the engine if the engine isto be left idle for prolonged periods between uses or if there is a possibility that the engine may bestored in an unheated area where freezing temperatures may occur.

    1. With pump unit running at low RPM, remove the quick-connect fuel line from the quick-connectfitting on the engine.

    2. Allow engine to run until all fuel has left the carburetor and the engine stops.

    3. Remove spark plug.

    4. Rotate crankshaft until piston is at top dead centre.

    5. Pour 30 ml (1 oz) of oil into spark plug opening (use same oil grade used in fuel mixture).

    6. Rotate crankshaft 2 or 3 times to ensure that cylinder walls are well coated with oil, then bringpiston to top dead centre.

    7. Reinstall spark plug.

    8. Keep the pump unit in dry storage above freezing temperature.

    The electronic ignition allowsfor a smoother and more

    responsive engine run.

    ENGINEOPERATING

    A more efficient andmaintenance free electronic

    ignition system.

    ELECTRONIC IGNITION

    In May of 2004, Wildfire announced that the standard MARK-3 units would feature anelectronic ignition system as opposed to the previous pointed ignition system.

    The upgrade to the electronic ignition system has eliminated the need for regular maintenance

    associated with breaker points. The electronic ignition system uses a magnetic pickup located onthe flywheel which, when passing over a certain point on the stator, will induce a highvoltage that causes the spark plug to fire at the proper moment.

    The electronic ignition module is equipped with spark advance, thus allowing for a cleaner burnat higher RPM levels. The engine will run smoother and will be more responsive. Note that whenthe engine is started cold, it will run "rough" (as if the timing is off) for about 15-30seconds, after which the engine will run smoothly.

    In order to convert a MARK-3 from breaker points to the upgraded electronic ignition system, aretrofit kit was created (B-7595). This manual provides step-by-step instructions on how to performthe conversion.

    The breakdown of the electronic ignition is shown below. The electronic module is placed in analuminium box located on the frame below the carburetor shroud.

    MARK-3® Service Manual16www.wildfire-env.com • 1-800-426-5207

    IMPORTANT

    Apply FINGER PRESSUREONLY to close pump clamplever. Excessive pressurewill damage or breakclamp link.

    IMPORTANT

    Pump ends (12-16S) withthe sealed bearing (12-48S)do not require greasing.

    PUMP UNIT PUMP LUBRICATION

    Pumps requiring greasing must be lubricated every 8 hours of operation and after each use.

    Use a clean grease gun filled with fresh grease. Remove dirt from grease fitting before applying greasegun. Grease should be pumped slowly into grease zerk while rotating the pump shaft. Continuepumping until fresh grease appears around bearing ring. Wipe off excess grease.

    Do not use graphite grease or a pressurized grease gun.

    TO REMOVE PUMP FROM ENGINE

    1. Lift pump clamp lever.

    2. Release tension adjusting knob at bottom of clamp.

    3. Remove clamp by tapping bottom end of each half clamp.

    4. Remove pump from engine.

    TO ATTACH PUMP TO ENGINE

    1. Place flexible buffer coupling on engine coupling pins.

    2. Align flexible buffer coupling holes to pump end coupling pins and install.

    3. Attach pump clamp. Carefully align clamp positioning pins with flange stub.

    4. Adjust tension knob located at bottom of clamp to obtain a light pressure on

    clamp ring.

    TO DRAIN PUMP

    It is recommended that the pump be drained after usage. This is a MUST during cold weather, toprevent damage to pump, due to freezing.

    1. Remove discharge hose, suction hose, and priming cap.

    2. Drain pump by tilting pump body several times.

    3. Stand pump on suction nozzle end for several minutes to complete drainage.

    4. Replace discharge, suction, and priming caps.

    TESTING PROCEDURE

    The A-2388 pump test kit is designed to verify the condition of a pump unit by completing aperformance test. This is achieved through running the unit at three key nozzle bore sizes: ¼” (6 mm),⅜” (9.5 mm), and at ½” (12.7 mm). Verify that the pressure output at full throttle is at or above thebelow-listed minimal pressure ranges by reading the pressure gauge at each nozzle setting. The pumpunit should be sent to a service center if it fails any one of the testing points. (See next page for kitbreakdown).

    MARK-3® Service Manual 17www.wildfire-env.com • 1-800-426-5207

    PUMP TEST KIT

    IMPORTANT

    Carburetor should beproperly adjusted beforestarting performance test. See"Carburetor TroubleshootingChart". In addition, the pumpunit should be set up as closeas possible to water source.

    PUMP ADJUSTMENTS

    Overspeeding may occur if:

    1. Pump not primed properly.

    • Suction hose and/or pump body not completely filled with water.

    • A bend in the suction hose, located higher than the pump suction inlet, causing an air lock

    (The suction hose between the pump and water supply must have a downward slope.)2. Loose suction hose coupling or priming cap.

    3. Footvalve strainer clogged or too close to surface of water.

    4. Pump loses prime.

    • Due to lack of water, air lock may form in the suction hose when pump unit works against ahigh delivery head. If this happens, disconnect the discharge hose from the pump then reprimepump in the normal manner.

    • Pump runs out of water, either because of lack of sufficient water supply or by attempting topump water from a shallow water source.

    NOTE

    For information on previousmechanical cut-out switchsystem (B-6288) pleaserefer to the Appendixsection.

    PUMP UNIT The footvalve must remain at least 30 cm (1 foot) under the water surface while pump is operating.

    All suction couplings, including footvalve, must be wrench tightened. Proper fitting gaskets must beused in all coupled joints. Worn or dried out gaskets should be replaced with new gaskets.

    DIGITAL OVERSPEED SWITCH (DOS)

    One common failure associated with fire pumps is in overspeed condition. This occurs when the pumpend experiences a loss of prime. Not enough water in the pump end severely unloads the engine andcauses it to race to speeds outside safe operating parameters.

    Wildfire previously used a mechanical cut-out switch to deal with the problem of overspeed.

    The Digital Overspeed Switch (DOS) continuously monitors the engine’s speed through the use of amicrocontroller which, once overspeed is detected, re-validates that the condition exists thenimmediately shuts down the pump. Adjustment of a tension spring is no longer required. An “ON/OFF”switch is also no longer required. This also reduces the amount of wiring and spare parts necessaryfor each unit. Can be installed on any MARK-3 equipped with electronic ignition module.

    POWER

    The DOS unit derives power from the engine and therefore does not require the use of batteries. Theunit powers up once the engine is operating.

    INTEGRATED OFF SWITCH

    With the DOS installed the ON switch is no longer required. The MARK-3 unit is, hence, always readyto start. However, the DOS incorporates an OFF switch which the operator can activate when needed.

    INSTALLATION

    The DOS uses one single wire making installation simple. The DOS easily installs on the side of thefan cowl above the carburetor shroud.

    For end users with the current MARK-3 CDI units with (B-6288) mechanical cut-out switch thenecessary kit required in order to convert to DOS is B-6289. An instruction sheet for installationpurposes is provided with every kit. Please refer to Appendix (DOS Instruction Sheet).

    NOTE

    The DOS feature is available exclusively for MARK-3 fire pumps with CDI units that is, unitswith an electronic ignition module (any MARK-3 purchased after November 2003). The DOSbecame a standard feature for all MARK-3 units back in June 2009 with theexception of the MARK-3 GSA version.

    Wildfire strongly recommends using a robust type spark plug connectorOEM model R-650 (refer to image) when operating the MARK-3 withthe DOS. This OEM spark plug connector (R-650) has been thoroughlytested and approved for usage on our MARK-3 as a result of its signalshielding capability which ensures the proper operation of the DOS.Usage of another type of spark plug cap may lead to a potential DOSmalfunction and will inherently limit any applicable warranties.

    SERVICING SPARK PLUG

    Operating with a defective or incorrect spark plug will affect the engine's performance and can causehard starting, fouling, missing, overheating, pre ignition and/or lack of power. To service and inspectthe spark plug, the following steps must be performed.

    1. Remove spark plug cover.

    2. Disconnect spark plug cable and remove spark plug.

    3. Clean spark plug and inspect carefully. If tip of insulator core is rough, cracked, broken or blistered,or if electrodes are burned away to the extent that they are too thin and cannot be satisfactorilyadjusted to recommended gap. 0.016" -0.020" (0.41-0.51mm), replace with new plug.

    Note: Use R-629 spark plug.Use only spark plug type specified by engine manufacturer.

    4. Reinstall spark plug. Start threads one or two turns with fingers to avoid danger of cross threading.Tighten spark plug to recommended torque of 25 Nm (18 ft-lbs or 215 inch-lbs).

    5. Connect spark plug cable.

    6. Install spark plug cover; tighten screws securely.

    Caution: Ceramic insulation of spark plug is easily damaged by shock stresses or bendingstresses as may be imposed by dropping, striking with hard objects or overtightening. Therefore,if spark plug has been subjected to such accidental abuse, it should be carefully inspected and testedbefore further use.

    IMPORTANT

    Refer also to section on"Servicing Carburetor"for additional "TroubleData" and serviceinformation.

    A robust type of connector has replaced the old

    spark plug rubber cap.

    UPGRADED SPARK PLUG CAP

    For years the MARK-3 was using a rubber spark plug connector R-650. The rubberconnector was known to crack where the wire goes into the connector and where the rubber

    connector goes onto the spark plug.The rubber connector has since been replaced by a robust type of connector used on highperformance recreational vehicles. The connector has the added benefit of being able to shieldagainst noise signals.

    The part number remains R-650.

    CARBURETOR DESCRIPTION

    The carburetor can be cleaned with a minimum of tools. Beforedisassembling carburetor it is imperative to flush it clean ofdirt by using proper carburetor cleaner.

    1. Remove strainer cover retaining screw and plastic cover.

    2. Remove strainer cover gasket and strainer screen.

    3. Remove screws and fuel pump body.

    4. Remove fuel pump diaphragm and gasket.

    5. Remove main diaphragm cover plate.

    6. Remove main diaphragm and main diaphragm gasket.

    7. Remove inlet control lever fulcrum pin, lever and tensionspring.

    8. Remove inlet needle.

    9. With a thin wall 8 mm (5/16") hex socket carefully remove

    the inlet seat. Remove inlet seat gasket. When reinstallingseat, tighten only to 3 or 4 Nm (25-35 inch-lbs).

    10. Remove idle and high speed mixture screws.

    11. When reinstalling O-ring type adjusting screws, lubricatewith SAE-30 oil to prevent seizing. Packing spring typeadjustments do not require lubrication.

    12. The ball check type main nozzle can be removed bytapping it out of the body casting into the venturi with asmall punch. A replacement ball check nozzle should bepressed into the casting. The brass cage should be pressedflush with the metering chamber casting.

    Before reassembling the carburetor (in reverse order as

    outlined above) wash all component parts in carburetorcleaner and blow off with compressed air. The channels in themetering body should be cleaned by blowing through the idleand main adjusting orifices. All fuel passages in the threecastings should be cleaned with compressed air.

    Do not clean orifices or passages with wires or drills asthis might damage and cause incorrect operation of thecarburetor.

    When reassembling the inlet control lever and spring, makesure that the spring rests in the well of the metering body andlocates on the dimple of the inlet control lever.

    Do not stretch spring. Inlet control lever is properly set when

    flush with floor of diaphragm chamber.

    Be certain main diaphragm, gasket and cover casting arecarefully fitted over the three small pins cast in rim at bottomof metering body. Also the fuel pump gasket, diaphragm andfuel pump body are placed over similar pins at bottom rim ofmain diaphragm cover casting. Evenly tighten fuel pump bodyretaining screws to insure complete seal of casting separationsat both diaphragms.

    Frequent cleaning or replacement of the fuel strainer screenwill aid satisfactory operation of the carburetor.

    SERVICING CARBURETOR

    CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

    The carburetor is provided with three adjustments, namely high speed (main) adjustment; low speed(idle) adjustment; and idle speed regulating screw.

    1. Before starting pump unit, close both main and idle adjustment screws, by turning clockwise,until needle just touches seat.

    Note: Turn adjustment screws carefully and gently. Do not force needle into seat, otherwise, bothneedle and seat may be permanently damaged.

    2. Open main adjustment screw 1 turn, by turning counterclockwise.

    3. Open idle adjustment screw 1 turn, by turning counterclockwise.

    4. Turn idle speed regulating screw until throttle shutter is slightly open.

    5. Start unit. Open choke slowly, and allow engine to warm up thoroughly, graduallyincreasing speed to full throttle setting while running with 6 mm (1/4") diameter nozzle tipconnected to a 3 m (10') discharge hose.

    6. When engine is thoroughly warmed up, close throttle, then adjust idle adjustment screw and idlespeed regulating screw, until engine idles smoothly between 2000-2200 RPM.

    7. Increase speed gradually to full throttle setting, then turn main adjustment screw until enginegives maximum RPM and pump delivers maximum pressure. Then, turn main adjustment screw1/4 turn maximum counterclockwise. This setting will give correct mixture ratio to assure properengine lubrication.

    Do not leave main adjustment screw set too lean, otherwise serious engine damage may occur due

    to lack of sufficient lubrication.

    Note: It will be necessary to readjust the carburator when taking the pump from one altitude andplacing in a different altitude. Repeat steps 1 to 7.

    COOLING SYSTEM

    Efficient engine cooling isaccomplished by a fan attachedto the flywheel. This fan pulls airthrough the fan housing screen,then forces the air around thecylinder and through the spacesbetween the cylinder andcylinder head fins.

    In time the cooling air passageswill become partially cloggedand the fins will become coatedwith dirt and thereby reducingthe cooling efficiency.

    Therefore, whenever thiscondition occurs, remove fanhousing then use compressedair or a stiff bristle brush andappropriate cleaning solution toremove all dirt deposits from finsand from inside the fan housing.

    REASSEMBLY SERVICE FOR ENGINE

    For reassembly (1 piece bearing)

    1. Place both crankcase halves on a table with inner faces up.

    2. Using a depth micrometer, carefully check the distance from joint-face of each

    crankcase half to lower face of each bearing housing.3. For pump side crankcase half, call this dimension (A) (see image).

    4. For magneto side crankcase half, call this dimension (B) (see image).

    5. Measure thickness of crankcase gasket R-133. Call this dimension (C).

    6. Add (A) + (B) + (C). Call this dimension (D).

    7. Measure the thickness of ball bearing R-333. Call this dimension (E).

    8. Measure the thickness of ball bearing R-343. Call this dimension (F).

    9. Measure the thickness of crankshaft spacer R-334. Call this dimension (G)

    10. Measure the width of the crankshaft between both bearing thrust surfaces. Call thisdimension (H) (refer to image).

    11. Add (E) + (F) + (G) + (H). Call this dimension (I).

    12. Subtract (D) – (I) and call this dimension (J).

    The dimension (J) is the total axial clearance on the crankshaft. The acceptable axial clear-ance is from .0079” to .0118”. The average acceptable axial clearance is therefore .0098”

    13. Subtract (J) = (average acceptable clearance .0098”) = total shim thickness

    14. Put the spacer on the crankshaft (pump side).

    15. Put the shims on the crankshaft magneto side (fan).

    Note: The crankshaft used in the electronic ignition units does not have a lobeground into the crankshaft end.

    16. Apply a small amount of Anti Seize (Copaslip or Loctite) on the ball bearing R-333.

    17. Heat the ball bearing to a temperature of 90 °C (194 °F) not exceeding 100 °C(212 °F).

    18. Install the ball bearing R-333 on the crankshaft (pump side). If necessary use apressing tool to insert the bearing on the crankshaft.

    19. Apply a small amount of Anti Seize (Copaslip our Loctite) on the ball bearing R-343.

    20. Heat the ball bearing to a temperature of 90 °C (194 °F)not exceeding 100 °C (212 °F).

    21. Install the ball bearing R-343 on the crankshaft (magneto side). If necessary use apressing tool to insert the bearing on the crankshaft.

    22. Heat the crankcases to a temperature of 90 °C (194 °F) not exceeding 100 °C (212 °F).

    23. Install the new oil seals R-123 on the coupling side (pump side) and R-342 on themagneto side (fan) of the crankcase. The oil seals must be installed from the inside tothe outside with the closed side facing the exterior of the crankcase.

    24. Grease the oil seals.

    25. Slide crankshaft in crankcase half (pump side). Be careful to prevent damage to lipof oil seal.

    26. Important : Ensure that the rotating part of the bearings do not come intocontact with the seals.

    27. If necessary press crankshaft into crankcase half (pump side). To prevent bending of crankshaft, be sure to always use tool R-953 (fig. 1), crankshaft jack, between websof crankshaft (fig. 2).

    28. Install a new crankcase gasket R-133, apply some oil.

    29. Slide the other crankcase half on crankshaft.

    30. Align dowel tubes and verify that crankshaft jack and connecting rod are in pistonaxe (fig. 3) and press crankcase halves together.

    31. Cool the crankcases to a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) before installing the crankcasescrews.

    32. Reassemble crankcase screws and lockwashers. Tighten screws uniformly to 10 Nm(90 inch-lbs) torque.

    33. For stress relief, gently tap the two crankcase halves with a soft head hammer.

    34. Turn crankshaft and check for smooth run.

    35. If piston was removed, reinstall it in proper position (arrow on top of piston or bal-

    ancing lumps inside piston head should be on muffler side of engine). Replace nee-dle bearing R-324, if necessary.

    36. Change cylinder head and cylinder flange gaskets (R-235 and R-238). The cylinderhead gasket must have the large band up.

    37. When reassembling cylinder head, be sure the “filled”part inside the head is on the muffler side of the engine, therefore the “scooped-out”part will be on the carburetor side).

    Important: Put carburetor side on same side of spark plug cable hole incrankcase. Tighten cylinder head nuts to recommended torque as 23-25 Nm(200-220 inch-lbs). Nuts should be torqued after first 10 hours of operation andevery 100 hours after.

    38. Reassemble remaining parts in reverse procedure used in disassembly.

    NOTE: Pump ends (12-16) with the double row ball bearing (12-48) shouldbe greased after every 8 hours of operation.

    Use a clean gun filled with fresh grease. Remove dirt from grease fittingbefore applying grease gun. Grease should be pumped slowly into bearingchamber until fresh grease appears around bearing retaining ring.Wipe off excess grease.

    Use only water repellent ball bearing grease, preferably a grease that has arust inhibitor.

    A grease relief valve (old style only) has been provided to prevent pressurebuildup on the rotary seal, should the fresh grease not be able to flowcompletely through the bearing, due to old grease being hard packed, etc.

    DO NOT use graphite grease, or a pressurized grease gun.

    NOTE

    The maintenance-free sealedbearing (12-48S) eliminates pumpfailure dangers related to impropergreasing by completely removing theneed to grease the pump end bearing.No greasing is necessary for pumpends (12-16S) which have a sealedbearing.
