Emission Control System Information
1.
Emission Control System Information
Source of Emissions
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is very important because, under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic.
Wacker utilizes lean carburetor settings and other systems to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons.
The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts
EPA and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of emission control systems.
The following instructions and procedures must be followed in order to keep the emissions from your Wacker engine within the emissions standards.
Tampering and Altering
Tampering with or altering the emission control system may increase emissions beyond the legal limit. Among those acts that constitute tampering are:
•Removal or alteration of any part of the intake, fuel, or exhaust systems.
•Altering or defeating the speed-adjusting mechanism to cause the engine to operate outside its design parameters.
Problems That May Affect Emissions
If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine inspected and repaired by your servicing dealer.
•Hard starting or stalling after starting.
•Rough idle.
•Misfiring or backfiring under load.
•Afterburning (backfiring).
•Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.
8
Emission Control System Information
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems on your Wacker engine were designed, built, and certified to conform with EPA and California emissions regulations. We recommend the use of genuine Wacker parts whenever you have maintenance done. These original-design replacement parts are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts, so you can be confident of their performance. The use of replacement parts that are not of the original design and quality may impair the effectiveness of your emission control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that the part will not adversely affect emission performance. The manufacturer or rebuilder of the part must certify that use of the part will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission regulations.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance schedule. Remember that this schedule is based on the assumption that your machine will be used for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent service.
OXYGENATED FUELS
Some conventional gasolines are being blended with alcohol or an ether compound. These gasolines are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air standards, some areas of the
United States and Canada use oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions.
If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement.
Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel’s contents.
Some States / Provinces require this information to be posted on the pump.
The following are EPA-approved percentages of oxygenates:
ETHANOL - (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume. You may use gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume. Gasoline containing ethanol may be marketed under the name “Gasohol”.
MTBE - (methyl tertiary butyl ether) 15% by volume. You may use gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.
9
Emission Control System Information
METHANOL - (methyl or wood alcohol) 5% by volume. You may use gasoline containing up to 5% methanol by volume, as long as it contains cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system.
Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system.
If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service station, or switch to another brand of gasoline.
Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of oxygenates mentioned above are not covered under warranty.

Reassembly Procedures
A new engine or one that has been completely overhauled by being fitted with a new piston, rings, valves, and connecting rod should be thoroughly run-in before being put into service.
Good bearing surfaces and running clearances between the various parts can only be established by operating the engine under reduced speed and loads for a short period of time.
Run-in the engine according to the schedule below. During the run-in period, check for oil leaks, make final carburetor adjustments, and regulate the engine operating speed.

Magneto
The ignition system of the WM 90 is a breakerless flywheel magneto with an automatic advancing system.
This system has no breaker points and thus is free from the starting and running problems associated with dirty, burnt, or corroded breaker points.
The electronic automatic advancing ensures easy starts and high performance at operating speed by advancing the ignition timing to the most suitable point.
9.2
Engine Basic Electric Theory
See Graphic: wc_gr001916
9.2.1
Revolution of the flywheel generates electricity in the primary side of the ignition coil, and the base current I
1
flows to the power transistor.
Current I
1
turns the power transmitter “ON” and the electric current I
2
flows.
9.2.2
At lower engine revolution, when the flywheel reaches the ignition point, the low speed ignition timing control circuit operates to run the
I
base current I
3
to turn the signal transistor A “ON” allowing the current
1
to bypass as current I
4
.
At this moment, the power transistor turns “OFF” and the current I
2
is abruptly shut off resulting in the high voltage generated in the secondary coil which produces sparks at the spark plug.
9.2.3
At higher engine revolution, the advancing control circuit operates at the ignition timing to run the base current I
5
to turn the signal transistor
B “ON” allowing the current I
1 to bypass as current I
6
.
At this moment the power transistor turns “OFF” and the current I
2
is abruptly shut off resulting in the high voltage generated in the secondary coil which produces sparks at the spark plug.
The operating timing of the advancing control circuit advances in accordance with the increase of engine speed resulting in the advancing of the ignition timing shown in the chart.

Automatic Decompression System
See Graphic: wc_gr001917
WM 90 engines employ an automatic decompression system as a standard feature. This system enables easy starting of the engine, with lighter recoil pull. The automatic decompression system releases the compression of the engine by lifting up the exhaust valve at cranking speeds.
At the end of the compression process, the release lever (a) lifts up the tappet (b) which in turn opens the exhaust valve slightly to release compression. The release lever has a flyweight (c) on one end and a crescent cam (d) on the other. When the engine is cranked, the crescent cam projects above the cam profile and lifts up the tappet because the gravity force on the weight is larger than the centrifugal force on the weight.
Reference: exhaust cam (e); camshaft (f); rotation direction (g).
b c a d e e g f
wc_gr001917
See Graphic: wc_gr001918
When the cranking speed reaches a specified rpm, the crescent cam
(d) is retracted under the cam profile because the centrifugal force applied to the flyweight (c) becomes larger than the force of the gravity on the weight and thus it is shifted to the position shown.

12. Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
12.1 Troubleshooting Introduction
If the engine shows any sign of malfunction, the cause should be determined immediately and the appropriate countermeasures should be taken to prevent the problem from worsening. This troubleshooting section describes certain known problems, their possible causes, and appropriate action to take. Note, however, that the list of problems listed here is not all-encompassing. Generally speaking, since there is the possibility of multiple causes for a single problem, please use your experience and common sense when deciding on what action to take.
The following three conditions must be met for the engine to start:
1. The cylinder must be filled with the proper fuel-air mixture.
2. There must be good compression in the cylinder.
3. There must be good spark, properly timed to ignite the mixture.
The engine cannot be started unless the these three conditions are met. There are other factors as well that will make engine starting difficult, such as a heavy load on the engine when attempting to start, or heavy back pressure due to a long exhaust pipe.
12.2 Troubleshooting Procedures
12.2.1
Fuel System Problems:
12.2.1.1 No gasoline in tank, or the fuel cock is closed.
12.2.1.2 The carburetor is not choked sufficiently especially when engine is cold.
12.2.1.3 Water, dust or gum in the gasoline interfering with fuel flow to carburetor.
12.2.1.4 Inferior grade gasoline or poor quality gasoline not vaporized enough to produce the correct fuel-air mixture.
12.2.1.5 The carburetor needle valve is held open by dirt or gum. This trouble can be detected as the fuel flows out of the carburetor when the engine is idling.
12.2.1.6 If the carburetor overflows, excessive fuel runs into the cylinder when starting the engine, making the fuel-air mixture too rich to burn. If this happens, remove the spark plug and turn the starting pulley a few turns to let the rich fuel-air mixture out of the spark plug hole and into the atmosphere. Keep the choke valve open during this operation. Dry the spark plug well, screw it into place, and try to start the engine again.

Troubleshooting WM 90 Repair
12.2.2
Ignition System Problems:
Check the following when experiencing a lack of spark.
12.2.2.1 Wires of the ignition coil, spark plug, or contact breaker disconnected.
12.2.2.2 Ignition coil damaged or shorted.
12.2.2.3 Spark plug wire wet or soaked with oil.
12.2.2.4 Spark plug dirty or wet.
12.2.2.5 Spark plug gap incorrect.
12.2.2.6 Spark plug electrode connected or bridged.
12.2.2.7 Incorrect spark timing.
12.2.2.8 Proper connection of all wires.
12.2.3
Compression System:
If starting difficulties and loss of power are not due to the fuel system or ignition system, the fault may be due to lack of compression. Make the following checks to the compression system.
12.2.3.1 Internal engine is completely dry because of a long period of storage.
12.2.3.2 Loose or broken spark plug. This causes a hissing noise made by the fuel-air mixture running out of the cylinder in compression stroke during cranking.
12.2.3.3 Damaged head gasket or loose cylinder head. This will also make a hissing noise.
12.2.3.4 If the correct compression is not obtained even after remedying the above, problems may be due to incorrect valve clearance.
Disassemble the engine and proceed further as follows:
• Valve stuck open due to carbon or gum on the valve stem.
• If the piston rings are stuck on the piston, remove the piston and connecting rod from the engine. Clean and replace the parts if necessary.
12.2.4
Engine Misfires:
12.2.4.1 Incorrect spark plug electrode gap. Adjust gap.
12.2.4.2 Ignition cable worn.
12.2.4.3 Weak spark.
12.2.4.4 Ignition wire connections loose.
12.2.4.5 Water in gasoline.
12.2.4.6 Insufficient compression.

WM 90 Repair Troubleshooting
12.2.5
Engine Stops:
12.2.5.1 Fuel tank empty. Water, dirt, gum, etc. in gasoline.
12.2.5.2 Vapor lock. Gasoline evaporating in the fuel lines due to overheating of the engine.
12.2.5.3 Vapor lock in the fuel lines or carburetor due to using too volatile gas blend (winter formula) in the hot season.
12.2.5.4 Air vent hole in the fuel tank cap plugged.
12.2.5.5 Bearing parts seized due to lack of lubrication.
12.2.5.6 Magneto or ignition coil faulty.
12.2.6
Engine Overheats:
12.2.6.1 Crankcase oil level low. Add oil immediately.
12.2.6.2 Spark timing incorrect.
12.2.6.3 Low-grade gasoline being used or engine is overloaded.
12.2.6.4 Cooling air circulation restricted.
12.2.6.5 Cooling air path misdirected causing loss of cooling efficiency.
12.2.6.6 Cylinder head cooling fins clogged with dirt.
12.2.6.7 Engine being operated in an enclosed space without sufficient cooling air.
12.2.6.8 Exhaust gas discharge restricted, or carbon deposits in the combustion chamber.
12.2.6.9 Engine running on low-octane gasoline detonates due to heavy load at low speed.
12.2.7
Engine Knocks:
12.2.7.1 Poor quality gasoline.
12.2.7.2 Engine operating under heavy load at low speed.
12.2.7.3 Carbon or lead deposits in the cylinder head.
12.2.7.4 Spark timing incorrect.
12.2.7.5 Loose connecting rod bearing due to wear.
12.2.7.6 Loose piston pin due to wear.

Threadlockers and Sealants
Threadlockers and Sealants
Threadlocking adhesives and sealants are specified throughout this manual by a notation of “S” plus a number (S#) and should be used where indicated. Threadlocking compounds normally break down at temperatures above 175°C (350°F). If a screw or bolt is hard to remove, heat it using a small propane torch to break down the sealant.
When applying sealants, follow instructions on container. The sealants listed are recommended for use on Wacker equipment.
