NOTE:
Insufficient compression pressure will result in a loss of performance.
1. Measure:
Valve clearance Out of specification →Adjust.
Refer to "ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEARANCE" on page 3-3.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it off.

8. Measure:
a. Set the main switch to "ON".
b. With the throttle wide open, crank the engine until the reading on the compression gauge stabilizes.
c. If the compression pressure is above the maximum specification, check the cylinder head, valve surfaces and piston crown for carbon deposits.
Carbon deposits Eliminate.
d. If the compression pressure is below the minimum specification, pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark plug bore and measure again.
Refer to the following table.

Adjusting the valve clearance
The following procedure applies to all of the
valves.
NOTE:
Valve clearance adjustment should be made
on a cold engine, at room temperature.
When the valve clearance is to be measured or
adjusted, the piston must be at top dead center
(TDC) on the compression stroke.
