Ignition system
The engine is equipped with an electronic ignition
system with no moving parts. Consequently, a
faulty component cannot be repaired, but must be
replaced with a new component.
Dismantling
Dismantle the cylinder cover, the guard
over the muffler and the spark plug.
Unhook the throttle cable and remove
the bolts holding the clutch cover.
The ignition spark in an electronic ignition
system has a very short burn time and can
be judged to be weak and is at times difficult
to see when troubleshooting.
Dismantling
To gain access to the ignition system
the following components must be
dismantled:
Cylinder cover, guard over the muffler,
and the spark plug.
Unhook the throttle cable from the
carburettor.

Carburettor setting
WARNING!
!
The clutch and clutch cover must, under all circumstances, be fitted
when testing running the engine after adjusting the carburettor.
Otherwise there is a risk that the clutch can become loose and cause
serious personal injury.
Function
The carburettor has the task of delivering a combustible air/fuel mixture to the
cylinder.
The amount
The mixture's composition
needles “H” and “L”.
The needles must be correctly adjusted so that the engine can give maximum
power at different speeds, run smoothly when idling and react quickly when accelerating.
The carburettor setting can vary a little depending on the humidity, temperature and
air pressure.
L = Low speed needle
H = High speed needle
T = Idle speed adjuster screw
● The fuel quantity in relation to the air flow permitted by the throttle opening is
adjusted by the L and H needles. Turning the needles clockwise gives a leaner
fuel mixture (less fuel) and turning them anticlockwise gives a richer fuel mixture
(more fuel). A

L
Basic setting
The carburettor is set to its basic setting when test run at the factory. The basic
setting is “richer” than the optimal setting (the max speed is 600–800 r/min under
the recommended max. speed) and should be kept during the engine's first working
hours. Thereafter the carburettor should be finely adjusted.
Some carburettors are fitted with plastic sleeves with a limiter, so-called CARB- and
EPA-versions for USA. This type of carburettor can also be found on other markets
for certain models. When making carburettor adjustments as set out below the
adjustment range for the H and L needles can be too small. In such cases the
plastic sleeves must be removed (using pliers) in order for satisfactory adjustment
to be made.
Fine adjustment
Fine adjustment of the carburettor should be carried out after the engine has been
“run-in”.
● The air filter should be clean and the cylinder cover fitted when adjustments are
made.
First adjust the L needle, then the H needle and finally the idling speed's Tscrew.
The following speed recommendations apply:
Idling speed = 2 500 r/min.
15
Page 17

Fuel system
Max speed
Models 322 and 325 are equipped with an ignition system with
speed control 12 500 r/min.
When checking the speed on a trimmer no part of the cord
should be extended.
Check the speed using the tachometer 502 71 14-01.
● Carefully screw in (clockwise) the L and H needles until they
bottom. Then screw out the H needle 2 1/2 turns and the
L needle 1 turn.
Use the special screwdriver 501 60 02-02.
● Start the engine and run warm for 10 minutes.
502 71 14-01 501 60 02-02
NOTE!
If the cutting equipment rotates while idling the T-screw should
be turned anticlockwise until it stops.
Low speed needle L
Find the highest idling speed by slowly turning the low speed
needle clockwise and anticlockwise. When the highest speed
has been found, turn the L needle 1/4 turn anticlockwise.
Idling speed T-screw
Let the engine idle for about 30 seconds or until the speed has
stabilised. Adjust the idling speed T-screw until the engine
idles without stopping.
● Turn the screw clockwise if the engine stops.
● Turn the speed anticlockwise to lower the speed.
Correctly adjusted carburettor
A correctly adjusted carburettor means that the engine accelerates without hesitation and it splatters a little at full throttle.
● A too lean adjusted L needle can cause starting difficulties
and bad acceleration.
● A too lean adjusted H needle results in lower power, bad
acceleration and/or damage to the engine.
● A too rich setting of the “L” and “H” needles give acceleration problems or a too low working speed.
High speed needle H (does not apply to engines with a
speed limiter)
NOTE!
If machines are equipped with a speed-controlled ignition system
the engine cannot be adjusted to max. speed, but must be set
according to the instructions for CARB/EPA (see page 17).
The high speed needle H affects the engine's power and speed.
A too lean H needle setting (H needle screwed in too far) gives
too little fuel to the engine resulting in damage to the engine.
Run the engine at full throttle for about 10 seconds. The H
needle is set correctly when the engine “splatters” a little.
If the muffler smokes heavily, at the same time as the engine
“splatters” a great deal, the setting is too “rich”. Turn the H
needle clockwise until you find the setting that sounds right.
NOTE!
A tachometer should always be used to find the optimal setting.
The recommended max. speed must not be exceeded.

Fuel system
Carburettor in E-TECH and CARB-EPA designs
(CARB-EPA only applies in the USA)
On this type of carburettor the H and L needles can be adjusted within extremely
tight limits to, amongst others, comply with stringent demands with regard to the
hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide content in the exhaust fumes.
The needles on these carburettors are fitted with plastic sleeves with limiters.
The engine must be loaded when making adjustments after replacing the needles
or the entire carburettor. This is achieved by fitting a Trimmy Fix with a trimming
cord of a specific length and diameter. The stated speed is then a great deal lower
than with “normal” carburettor adjustment when the engine runs unloaded at max
speed.
Adjustment must be carried out according to the instructions below after replacing
the needles or the entire carburettor on a CARB-EPA approved engine.
The Combi-guard or the spray guard must be fitted when adjusting the H needle.
3
After replacing the complete carburettor
1. Check that the plastic sleeve on the H needle is turned as
far as possible anticlockwise (richest fuel mixture). The
sleeve sits freely on the needle and can be turned without
affecting the needle's setting.
Do not change the L needle setting. This is adjusted at the
factory and the plastic sleeve is already fixed on the needle.
2. Fit four trimmer cords Ø 3.3 mm on a Trimmy Fix M10,
531 00 38-69 for models 322L, 322R, 325L, 325L-X, 325R-X.

Centrifugal clutch
The centrifugal clutch has the task of transferring
the power from the engine to the cutting equipment's drive axle. As the name implies, it works
according to a centrifugal principle.
This means the clutch's friction shoes are thrown
outwards towards the clutch drum at a certain
engine speed. When the friction against the drum
is sufficiently great it drives the drive axle at the
same speed as the engine.
Dismantling
Dismantle the clutch by following the
instructions in the chapter “Ignition
system”.
Some slipping occurs between the clutch and
the clutch drum when accelerating as well as
in the reversed situation when the cutting
equipment jams. Thereby abnormal load
changes on the crankshaft are prevented.
The engagement speed has been carefully
tested so that the engine can idle without the
cutting equipment's drive axle rotating.
Dismantling
The centrifugal clutch is bolted to the
flywheel.
Follow the detailed instructions in the
chapter “Ignition system” when the
clutch is dismantled.
Twist open the clutch and inspect the
components with regard to wear or
damage.
Twist open the clutch.
Inspect the components with regard to
wear or damage.
Pay close attention to the ends of the
springs, which in addition to wear can
also show signs of crack formation in
the material.
Assembly
Put together the clutch shoes with the
springs.
NOTE!
Both clutch shoes should be replaced
even if only one of the shoes shows
signs of heavy wear. This is to prevent
engine vibration due to imbalance in
the clutch.

Cylinder and piston
The cylinder and piston are two components
that are exposed to the most strain in the
engine. For example, they should withstand
high speed, large changes in heat and high
pressure. In addition, they should withstand
wear. Despite the hard working conditions,
serious cylinder and piston failures are quite
unusual. Some of the reasons behind this are
Dismantling
Dismantle all components around the
cylinder including the distance piece
fitted to the carburettor.
the new coating materials in the cylinder bore,
new lubricants and improved manufacturing
techniques.
Cleanliness is extremely important when
servicing these components. We therefore
recommend that the cylinder and the area
around it is cleaned thoroughly before it is
dismantled from the crankcase.
Dismantling
Dismantle the following components:
Cylinder cover, muffler grille, muffler
with heat guard, starter and spark plug.
Fold back the fuel tank.
Now remove the 2 bolts holding the
distance piece against the crankcase.
Remove the distance piece with the
carburettor attached.
Remove the bolts holding the cylinder.
504 90 00-02
Pull off the cylinder and dismantle the
piston and connecting rod.
Remove the 4 bolts holding the cylinder
on the crankcase.
Pull the cylinder straight up without
turning it. If it is turned, there is a risk of
the piston ring breaking.
A sealant has been used on the base of
the cylinder instead of a gasket.
Dismantle the piston from the connecting rod (see the Workshop Manual if
necessary).

Assembly
Clean and inspect the piston and
cylinder. Check the rubber intake
manifold with regard to crack formation
or other damage.
Clean the sealant from the crankcase
and fit the piston on the connecting rod.
Assembly
Before the piston and cylinder and fitted
parts should be cleaned and inspected
as instructed in the Workshop Manual.
Check that the rubber intake manifold
between the cylinder and distance
piece has not cracked or shows signs
of other damage that can cause leaks.
Clean any sealant or grease from the
crankcase.
Fit the piston on the connecting rod so
that the arrow on top of the piston
points towards the exhaust port. See
the instructions in the Workshop
Manual.
Clean the contact surface on the base
of the cylinder and apply a narrow
string of sealant No. 503 26 70-01 to
the sealing surface.

Carefully slide down the cylinder over
the piston and tighten the 4 bolts
crosswise.
Clean the old sealant and grease from
the contact surfaces on the base of the
cylinder.
Apply a narrow string (1 – 1.5 mm) of
sealant No. 503 26 70-01 to the contact
surface.
NOTE!
The sealant does not need to be
applied to the bearing's contact surface.
Lubricate the piston with a few drops of
oil and carefully slide the cylinder over
the piston.
NOTE!
Do not turn the cylinder as the piston
ring can easily break.
Tighten the 4 bolts crosswise.
Fit other components in the reverse
order as stated for dismantling.

Crankshaft and crankcase
The task of the crankshaft is to transfer the up and
down motion of the piston to rotation. To do this
requires a stable design withstanding immense pressure, rotational and bending strain as well as high
rotational speed. In addition the connecting rod is
exposed to large acceleration and retardation forces as
it moves between top and bottom dead centres. This
puts special demands on the bearings that must
withstand quick changes in load. Besides, the bearing's roller retainer also must cope with high temperatures and friction. Therefore it is extremely important
when servicing, to check the roller retainer for cracking, wear and miscolouration due to overheating.
Dismantling
Dismantle all components so that only
the crankcase and crankshaft remain.
Now lift the crankshaft out of the
crankcase.
The crankshaft is journalled in the crankcase on
heavy-duty ball bearings. In addition to the
journalling point for the crankshaft, the crankcase acts as scavenging pump for the fuel/air
mixture when this is "sucked" from the carburettor and is forced into the cylinder's combustion
chamber. The crankcase must be perfectly sealed
so as not to affect this pump function. There
cannot be any leakage either from the crankshaft
or between the crankcase halves or between the
crankcase and the cylinder.
Always replace the sealing rings and gaskets
when servicing the crankcase.
Dismantling
Dismantle all components so that only
the crankcase and crankshaft remain.
Refer to respective sections if necessary for detailed information.
Now lift the crankshaft out of the
crankcase.
Remove the bearings (sliding fit) and
the spacers.
Assembly
Check the crankshaft as set out in the
section “Inspecting the crankshaft” in
the Workshop Manual.
Clean the contact surfaces in the
crankcase.
Fit new bearings on the crankshaft with
the open side facing in towards the
crank disc.
Lubricate the big end bearings with a
few drops of engine oil and position the
crankshaft in the crankcase.
Fit all other components in the reverse
order as stated for dismantling.
Refer to respective sections in the
Workshop Manual if necessary.
Leak test the crankcase in accordance
the instructions in the Workshop
Manual.
