Organization • Plastic bags • Card board box • Small cans • Notes
Remove Engine from Implement • Remove blades, belts, etc. • Clean
Fuel • Dump out gas • Check fuel quality • Look for water • Dispose of properly
Sparkplug • Check condition • Oily, black soot • Electrode - tan
Drain Oil • Inspect condition • Proper level • Changed regularly
Air Cleaner • Condition • Changed regularly • Wear parts 10 times faster
Blower Housing • Engine ID numbers • Remove debris • Aids in cooling
Cylinder Head & Gasket • Unbolt cylinder head • Remove head gasket / inspect • Inspect amt. carbon on piston • Clean - warn, dirty - good
Flywheel • Remove starter clutch • Gear puller • Examine fins, key, & key way • Check flywheel for cracks
Ignition Components • Remove condenser & points • Check condition • Remove magneto • Remove electronic ignition
Carburetor & Governor Linkage • Unhook linkages • Draw picture, notes, label • Small parts; plastic bag
Valve Cover • Unbolt valve cover • breather tube • maintain crankcase vacuum
Remove Valves • Valve spring compressor • 2 big flathead screwdrivers • Store springs with valves
Remove Crankcase Cover • Remove rust from PTO shaft • Tap to break gasket seal • Remove any oil pumps / slingers
Remove Camshaft • Locate timing marks • Remove any oil pumps / slingers • Inspect lobes for wear • Wear indicates low oil
Remove Valve Lifters • Exhaust lifter near threaded port • Mark each lifter: tape, paint, grind
Remove Piston & Connecting Rod • Punch marks, mating surfaces • Unbolt connecting rod • Push piston out through top
Remove Crankshaft • Inspect journals • Observe any thrust washers
Remove Piston Rings • Remove piston rings • Check ring gap • Replace if necessary
Oil Seals • Remove seals with screwdriver • Replace if needed
Remove Muffler • Penetrating oil • Heat • Oil filter wrench • Flywheel strap wrench
