Engine Repair

Procedures for cylinder, piston, crankshaft, and bearings.

Remove cylinder: Remove muffler, intake, and cylinder head bolts. Use piston stop to hold crankshaft.
Piston replacement: Remove circlips, piston pin, and install new piston with arrow toward exhaust.
Crankshaft seals: Replace if leaking (use seal puller).
Torque values: Cylinder bolts: 10 Nm; Muffler nuts: 20 Nm.

CAUTION! Label all parts during disassembly. Do not scratch cylinder wall.

Fuel System

Carburetor (Zama C1Q-S267), fuel lines, filter, and tank.

Carburetor adjustment: Initial settings: L screw 1 turn open, H screw 1 turn open.
Diaphragm replacement: Remove cover, check for tears or stiffness.
