SYSTEMS CHECK
Most complaints concerning engine operation can be classified as one or a combination of the following:
• Will not start
• Hard starting
• Lack of power
• Runs rough
• Vibration
• Overheating
• High oil consumption
What appears to be a problem with the engine may actually be the fault of the equipment.
Following is a list of some common engine symptoms and their relationship to equipment problems.
Once equipment sources are ruled out, the cause for most of these symptoms can be determined by performing a systems check in the following order:
1. Ignition
2. Carburetion
3. Compression
This check-up can usually be done in a matter of minutes and is the quickest and surest method of determining the cause of such problems.
1) Check Ignition
Engine Stopped
With spark plug installed, attach Ignition Tester
#19368 to spark plug lead and ground the other end of the tester (Figure 2-1). Pull the starter rope or activate the electric starter (if equipped).
If spark jumps the tester gap, you may assume the ignition system is functioning satisfactorily.
No Start - Hard Start
• Loose belt or blade
• Misadjusted controls
• Interlock system malfunction
Engine Will Not Stop
• Equipment stop switch not functioning
• Engine ground wire damaged or disconnected
Vibration
• Bent cutter blades
• Loose spindles and couplings
• Bent crankshaft for
• Damaged or worn belts and pulleys
• Out of balance impeller
Power Loss
• Bind or drag in moving parts of equipment
• Grass build-up under deck
• No lubrication in equipment gear box
• Excessive belt tension
Engine Running
If engine runs but misses during operation, a quick check to determine whether the ignition is at fault can be made by installing Ignition Tester
#19368 between the spark plug lead and spark plug (Figure 2-2). If spark is good but engine misses, install a new spark plug.
18
Figure 2 - 2
If spark does not occur, look for:
• Improperly operating interlock system
• Shorted equipment or engine stop switch wire
• Incorrect armature air gap
• Armature failure
2) Check Carburetion
Before making a carburetion check, be sure the fuel tank has an ample supply of fresh, clean gasoline.
Be sure the shutoff valve, if equipped, is open and fuel flows freely through the fuel line. If fuel fails to flow or is slow, check for plugged fuel cap vent, fuel line restriction or plugged fuel filter.
Be sure throttle and choke controls are properly adjusted.
Not inspect the spark plug.
If plug is wet, look for: for
• Over choking
• Excessively rich fuel mixture
• Water in fuel
• Float needle valve stuck open
• Plugged air cleaner
• Fouled spark plug
If plug is dry, look for:
• Leaking carburetor or intake manifold gaskets
• Gummy or dirty carburetor, fuel filter, fuel lines or fuel tank
• Float needle valve stuck closed
• Inoperative fuel pump (if equipped)
• Inoperative fuel shut-off solenoid (if equipped)
A simple check to determine if the fuel is getting to the combustion chamber through the carburetor is to remove the spark plug and pour a small quantity of gasoline through the spark plug hole. Replace the plug. If the engine fires a few times and then stops, look for the same conditions as for a dry plug.
3) Check Compression
Use Leakdown Tester #19545 to check the sealing capabilities of the compression components.
Follow the instructions provided with the tester to perform the leakdown test.
NOTE: Any air leaks at the connections or fittings of the tester will affect the accuracy of the test.
Listen for air leaking from the cylinder head gasket, carburetor, exhaust system, and the crankcase breather tube.
• Air flowing between the cylinder and cylinder head indicates that the cylinder head gasket is leaking.
• Air flowing from the carburetor indicates air is leaking past the intake valve and seat.
• Air flowing from the exhaust system indicates air is leaking past the exhaust valve and seat.
• Air flowing from the crankcase breather tube or high oil fill dipstick tube indicates air is leaking past the piston rings.

• Loose cylinder head bolts
• Blown head gasket
• Burned valves, valve seats and/or loose valve seats
• Insufficient tappet clearance
• Warped cylinder head
• Warped valve stems
• Worn bore and/or rings
• Broken connecting rod

Starter Motor Testing
Before assuming an electric starter requires service, check the engine for freedom of rotation by removing the spark plug and turning the crankshaft over by hand. Any belt, clutch, or other parasitic load will affect the starter cranking performance, so ensure their effects are minimized.
The following list is given to aid in diagnosing problems for the 12 Volt starting system.
1. Engine Cranks Slowly
• Parasitic load affecting performance
• Discharged, defective, or incorrect battery
• Faulty electrical connection (battery circuit)
• Dirty or worn starter motor commutator, bearing, weak magnets, etc.
• Wrong engine oil viscosity for ambient temperatures
• Defective starter clutch
• Flywheel brake misadjusted
• Battery leads too long or wire diameter too small
Check Starter Motor Drive and Clutch
When the starter switch is activated, the pinion gear should rise, engage the flywheel ring gear, and crank the engine. The pinion gear must rotate counterclockwise, as viewed from the gear. If the starter motor drive does not react properly, check the helix and pinion gear for free operation. If the pinion gear sticks, clean the helix and gear with a mild solvent and compressed air. If the pinion continues to stick, replace the entire starter drive assembly.
NOTE: Do not oil the pinion gear or clutch helix.
The starter motor clutch is designed to prevent damage from shock loads such as engine backfire. If the clutch slips while cranking, replace the entire starter drive assembly.
Test Starter Motor
1. Clamp starter motor test fixture in vise
(Figure 2-8).
2. Remove starter motor from engine and mount to fixture.
2. Engine Will Not Crank
• Improperly operating interlock system
NOTICE: Do not clamp the motor housing in a vise or strike with a hammer. Starter motors contain ceramic magnets that can be damaged if • Discharged battery
• Loose or corroded electrical connections
• Open circuit in starter motor switch
• Brushes sticking
• Inoperative starter solenoid
3. Starter Motor Spins But Does Not Crank

• Sticking pinion gear
Not
• Damaged pinion or ring gear the motor housing is hit, deformed, or dented.
3. Set meter to DC Amps position.
4. Connect the optional starter switch
(A, Figure 2-8), starter motor, battery (F), black lead (C), red lead (D), shunt (E), and tachometer (B).
Reproduction
• Starter motor clutch slipping
• Incorrect rotation due to reversed motor polarity
Figure 2 - 8
22
5. Activate starter motor and note readings of meter and tachometer.Take reading after meter stabilizes (approximately 2-3 seconds).
With a fully-charged battery, the starter motor should deliver 6500 RPM (minimum) and 35
Amps (maximum). If the starter motor does not meet these specifications, it must be replaced.
Check Battery and Cable Sizes
The following battery size recommendations are based on the minimum temperature expected and the correct weight of oil being used.
• 30 Amp. Hr. +20ºF (-6ºC) or higher
• 40 Amp. Hr. -5ºF (-20ºC) or higher
• 50 Amp. Hr. -15ºF (-26ºC) or higher
The following cable sizes are based on the total distance from the battery positive (+) post to the starter switch and/or solenoid, plus the ground return to the battery negative (-) post.
• #6 AWG - 4 ft. (1.2m) or less
• #5 AWG - 5 ft. (1.5m) or less
• #4 AWG - 6 ft. (1.8m) or less
Battery Testing
A 12 Volt, lead acid, wet cell battery is required to operate the starter motor. This type is available as a wet charge or dry charge battery.
The wet charged maintenance-free battery is filled with electrolyte and sealed at the time production. The level of electrolyte cannot be checked.
The dry charge battery requires electrolyte to be added at the time the battery is placed in service.
Before activating a dry charge battery, read and follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedure.

Inspect Cylinder
1. Remove oil seal and discard. Using a plastic scraper, remove all traces of head gasket and sump gasket material.
• Visually check cylinder for cracks, stripped threads, and bore damage.
Bore damage, if not severe, may be corrected by reconditioning or resizing.
Resizing Bore
If the cylinder bore is worn more than 0.003”
(0.08 mm) oversize, or is 0.0015” (.04 mm) out of round, it must be resized.
Always resize to exactly 0.020” (.51 mm) larger than standard bore size. Done accurately, the service oversize rings and pistons will fit perfectly with proper clearances.
Use the stones and lubrication recommended by the hone manufacturer to produce the proper sizing and finish.
• If cracks are found, replace the cylinder.
• Stripped threads can sometimes be repaired using a helicoil, but if multiple holes have thread damage, replace the cylinder.
2. Using a straight edge, check across cylinder head mounting surface for distortion (A, Figure 9-1). If mounting surface is distorted more than 0.004” (0.1 mm), the cylinder must be replaced.
• Using Telescoping Gauge #19610 and
Dial Caliper #19199, measure the diameter of the bore. If necessary, recondition or resize the bore as described below.
