GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
•Keep ABC fire extinguishers handy.
•Benzene and lead in some gasolines have been
identified by some state and federal agencies as
causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. Do not toingest, inhale or contact gasoline or its vapors.
•Do not work on the engine when mentally or
physically fatigued or after consuming alcohol or
drugs.
•Carefully follow all applicable local, state and
federal codes.
WARNING
tended for use in aircraft. Such use can lead
to engine failure, severe personal injury or
death.
This engine is not designed or in-
FUEL IS FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE
•Keep flames, cigarettes, sparks, pilot lights,
electrical arc-producing equipment and switches
and all other sources of ignition well away from
areas where fuel fumes are present and areassharing ventilation.
•Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is run-
ning.
•Make sure all fasteners are secure and torqued
properly.
•Keep the engine and its compartment clean. Ex-
cess oil and oily rags can catch fire. Dirt and gearstowed in the compartment can restrict cooling
air.
•Before working on the engine, disconnect the
negative ( – ) battery cable at the battery to prevent starting.
•Use caution when making adjustments while the
engine is running—hot, moving or electrically
live parts can cause severe personal injury or
death.
•Used engine oil has been identified by some
state and federal agencies as causing cancer or
reproductive toxicity. Do not ingest, inhale, or
contact used oil or its vapors.
•Fuel lines must be copper or steel tubing or pip-
ing, adequately secured and free of leaks.
•Use approved flexible fuel hose for connections
at the engine. Do not use copper tubing as a flex-
ible connector—vibration will cause it to work-
harden and break. Use non-conductive hose if
the fuel line could become a path for cranking
current.
•LPG leaks into an inadequately ventilated space
can lead to explosive accumulations of gas. LPG
sinks when released into the air and can accumulate inside basements and other below-gradespaces. Precautions must be taken to prevent
gas leaks and the accumulation of gaseous fuel
in the event of a leak.
•The fuel line must have a manual shutoff valve
unless the highest fuel level in the supply tank is
lower than the connection at the engine.

ENGINE EXHAUST IS DEADLY!
•Learn the symptoms of carbon monoxide poi-
soning in this Manual.
•Inspect the exhaust system every time the en-
gine is started and after every eight hours of operation. If the exhaust noise changes, shut down
the engine immediately and have it inspected.
•The integral exhaust system must not be modi-
fied in any way.
•Do not use engine cooling air to heat a room.
BATTERY GAS IS EXPLOSIVE
•Wear safety glasses and do not smoke while
servicing batteries.
•When disconnecting or reconnecting battery
cables, always disconnect the negative ( – ) bat-
tery cable first and reconnect it last to reduce arc-
ing.
MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
•Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry near mov-
ing parts such as PTO shafts, fans, belts and pul-
leys.
•Keep hands away from moving parts.
•Make sure there is ample fresh air when operat-
ing the engine in a confined area.
•Keep guards in place over fans, belts, pulleys,
etc.

1. General Information
Introduction
This manual deals with specific mechanical and
electrical information needed by engine mechanics
for troubleshooting, servicing, repairing, or over-
hauling the engine.
The Parts Manual contains detailed exploded views
of each assembly and their individual piece part
numbers and names for ordering replacement
parts.
Features of the Performer OHV220 engine are:
•Overhead valve arrangement enables high
power and low fuel and oil consumption
•V-twin, four stoke design
•Air-cooled and gasoline fueled
•The light-weight and compact design make it
easy to install and utilize for many applications.
•A steel crankshaft and high-load bearing offer
durability.
•Pressure lubrication system and large capac-
ity air cleaner enhance reliability of the engine.
•The combustion chamber shape, along with
a tuned exhaust valve system, enhances the
low exhaust emission and provides high
torque at low speed.
A steel crankshaft and high-load bearing offer dura-
bility. The pressure lubrication system and large ca-pacity air cleaner enhance reliability of the engine.
The illustrations and procedures presented in eachsection apply to the Performer OHV220 Engine.
The blower housing side of the engine is the front
end. Right and left sides are determined by viewing
the engine from the front. The No. 1 cylinder is on
the right; the No. 2 cylinder is on the left (Figure 1-1).

LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Oil and Filter Change
Refer toPeriodic Maintenance in the Operator’s
Manual for oil and filter change intervals and proce-
dures.
Pressure Lubrication
All engines use an oil pump to provide a constant
flow of oil to the engine parts. The oil supply collects
in the bottom of the crankcase. A relief valve is usedto control oil pressure.
Oil Pump Operation
A large trochoid type oil pump is driven directly by
the crankshaft, delivering pressurized oil to the jour-
nal and pin portions of crankshaft, camshaft etc.
A cartridge type oil filter is located in the bottom of
the crankcase. Through this cartridge oil filter, oil is
forced onto rotating parts such as journal and pins
of the crankshaft and camshaft.
Oil is fed through the oil pump filter into the oil pump.
The oil pressure is adjusted by the relief valve after
discharging from oil pump. Oil is then splashed onto
the cylinder, piston, and the cylinder head valve
system. See Figure 4-1.
A by-pass valve is incorporated into the cartridge
type oil filter. In the event the oil filter element be-
comes clogged, the engine oil is fed through the by-
pass valve into the crankcase oil passage.

Relief Valve
The relief valve is located on the bottom of the
crankcase. It is non-adjustable and normally does
not require maintenance. However, each part of the
relief valve is replaceable.
Oil Pressure Switch
The oil pressure switch is mounted on the same
housing as the oil filter. If oil pressure becomes low
while flowing to the oil pump, the switch will trigger a
shutdown condition.
Crankcase Breather
WARNING
Ignition of fuel can result in se-
vere personal injury or death. Thoroughly
clean up any spilled fuel. Do not smoke or
allow any flame, spark, pilot light, or arcing
switch or equipment, or other source of
ignition near the work area or areas sharing
ventilation.
1. Operate the engine at an idle for five minutes
until the carburetor is full of fuel.
2.Shut the engine off and remove the fuel supply-line from the fuel pump.
3.Connect a vacuum gauge to the fuel pump inlet
using a piece of fuel hose with clamps.
The crankcase breather prevents pressure from
building up in the crankcase. It also prevents oil
contamination by removing moisture or gasoline
vapors and other harmful blow-by materials from
the crankcase. These vapors are routed to the car-
buretor where they are mixed with incoming air and
burned in the combustion chamber.
A sticky breather valve can cause oil leaks, high oil
consumption, rough idle, reduced engine power,
and a rapid formation of sludge and varnish within
the engine.
Replace the breather if it’s broken or cracked, or if
the crankcase becomes pressurized indicated by
oil leaks at the seals or excessive oil in the air clean-
er housing.
FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system consists of a fuel pump, carburetor,
fuel filter, shut-off valve and control linkage.
4. Start the engine and allow to idle for at least fiveseconds. Record the vacuum gauge reading.
5. Move the throttle control to the high idle posi-
tion. Wait at least five seconds and record the
vacuum gauge reading.
6.Shut the engine off and remove the vacuum
gauge hose from the fuel pump inlet. Connect
the fuel inlet line to the fuel pump.
7.Shut the engine off and remove the pressure
gauge hose from the fuel pump outlet. Connect
the fuel outlet line to the fuel pump.
WARNING
lines have been identified by some state and
federalagencies as causingcancer or
reproductive toxicity. Do not to ingest, inhale or
contact gasoline or its vapors.

8. Remove the fuel outlet line from the fuel pump.
9. Connect a pressure gauge to the fuel pump
outlet using a piece of fuel hose with clamps.
Fuel Pump
A diaphragm type fuel pump is mounted on the front
of the engine. The pump is operated by vacuum
pressure inside the crankcase.
The fuel pump is not serviceable and should be re-
placed if faulty.
Fuel Pump Test Procedure
Before testing, make certain the fuel pump vacuum
and fuel line connections are tight and free of leaks.
10.Start the engine and allow to idle for at least five
seconds. While holding the pressure gauge
level with the pump outlet, record pressure
gauge reading.
11.Move the throttle control to the high idle posi-
tion and allow the engine to run for at least five
seconds. While holding the pressure gauge
level with the pump outlet, record pressure
gauge reading.
12.Shut the engine off and remove the pressure
gauge hose from the fuel pump outlet. Connectthe fuel outlet line to the fuel pump.

CARBURETOR
The engine is equipped with a down draft carburetor
with a float-controlled fuel system and fixed main
jet.
Carburetors are calibrated carefully for sure starts,
good acceleration, low fuel consumption and suffi-
cient output.
FLOAT SYSTEM Fuel flows from the fuel tank into
the float chamber through a needle valve. When the
fuel rises to a specific level, the float rises. When its
buoyancy and fuel pressure are balanced, the
needle valve closes to shut off the fuel, thereby
PILOT SYSTEM The pilot system feeds the fuel to
the engine during idle and low-speed operation.
Fuel is fed through the main jet to the pilot jet, where
it is metered and mixed with the air from the pilot air
jet. The fuel/air mixture is fed to the engine throughthe pilot outlet and the by-pass. When idling, the
fuel is fed mainly from the pilot outlet.
MAIN SYSTEM The main system feeds the fuel to
the engine during medium- and high-speed opera-
tion. Fuel is metered by the main jet and fed to themain nozzle. Air metered by the main air jet is mixed
with the fuel through the emulsion tube, and the
mixture is atomized out of the main bore. Then it’s
mixed again with the air taken through the air clean-
er into an optimum fuel-air mixture, which is sup-
plied to the engine.
CHOKE The choke is used for easy start-up when
the engine is cold. When the starter is operated with
a choke valve fully closed, the negative pressure
applied to the main nozzle increases and drawsmore fuel; thus easily starting the engine.

SHUT-OFF VALVE A fuel shut-off valve prevents
engine run-on when the engine is turned off. Whenthe engine is on, the valve is activated and the
plunger is pulled in to open the main jet. When the
engine is off, the power source to the valve is off.
The plunger is pushed out by the return spring and
stops the fuel flow to the main jet.
Carburetor Replacement
CHARGING SYSTEM
Magneto
The ignition system contains a flywheel magneto
with automatic advancing characteristics. This sys-
tem is free from start-up failure due to dirty, burnt or
a corroded point surfaces because there are no
points.
Do not adjust the fuel mixture, rebuild or overhaul
the carburetor. A malfunctioning carburetor should
be replaced. Before replacing a carburetor, however, make certain that:
•All other necessary engine and generator ad-
justments and repairs have been performed
•The carburetor is actually malfunctioning
(see Section 3: Engine Troubleshooting).
CAUTION
Unauthorized modifications or re-
placement of fuel, exhaust, air intake, or speed
control system components that affect emission on California certified engines are prohibited by law in the State of California.
To remove the carburetor, remove the air cleaner,
disconnect the fuel line, choke, and throttle link-
ages, and unbolt the carburetor from the intake
manifold. When reinstalling the carburetor, always
use a new gasket. Readjust the choke and throttle
cables and engine speed as instructed in the Oper-
ator’s Manual.
Speed Control Solenoid (Optional)
The speed control solenoid monitors the rate of the
load and automatically adjusts the engine to the ap-
propriate idle speed.
The solenoid is faulty if the idle does not pull to low.
Replace the solenoid.
The electronic automatic advancing provides easy
starts and stable high performance at operating
speed by advancing the ignition timing to the most
suitable point.
THEORY: Refer to Figure 4-3. Revolution of the fly-
wheel generates electricity on the primary side of
the ignition coil, and the base current )# to the pow-
er transistor. Current )# turns the power transistor
“on” and the electric current )$ flows.
During low idle, after the flywheel reaches the igni-
tion point, the low speed ignition timing control circuit runs the base current )% turning the signal tran-
sistor A “on”. This allows the current )# to bypass as
current )&. The power transistor turns “off” and the
current )$ is abruptly shut, resulting in high voltage
generated in the secondary coil producing sparks at
the spark plugs.
During high speed operation, the advancing control
circuit operates the ignition timing to run base cur-
rent )' turning the signal transistor B “on”. This al-
lows current )# to bypass as current )(. The power
transistor turns “off” and the current )$ is abruptly
closed, resulting in high voltage generated in thesecondary coil producing sparks at the spark plugs.
The engine timing advances relative to the engine
speed controlled by this circuit. This timing advance system is contained within the magneto coils
and is not serviceable nor can the individual electronic components be replaced.

Battery Inspection
WARNING
ty glasses and do not smoke while servicing
batteries. Lead acid batteries give off a highly
explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited by
flame, electrical arcing or smoking.
Battery gas is explosive. Wear safe-
Check battery cells with a hydrometer. The specific
gravity reading should be between 1.260 and 1.290
at 77° F (25 ° C).
If one or more cells are low on water, add distilledwater and recharge. Keep the battery case clean
and dry. An accumulation of moisture or dirt will ac-
celerate discharge and battery failure.
Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Push the
cable terminal down flush with or slightly below thetop of the battery post. After making connections,
coat the terminals with a light application of petro-leum jelly or grease to retard corrosion.
WARNING
Always disconnect the negative
cable first, and reconnect it last to reduce therisk of arcing and explosion.

Jump Starting
Occasionally, it may be necessary to jump start
(charge) a weak battery using a charged booster
battery. If jump starting is necessary, the following
procedure is recommended to help prevent starter
damage, battery damage, and personal injuries.
4. Attach one end of the negative booster cable
(black) to the negative (–) terminal of the boost-
er battery. Attach the other end of the negativecable to a solid chassis ground on your engine.
5. Jump starting in any other manner may result
in damage to the battery or the electrical sys-tem.
1. Disconnect engine load.
2.Use a battery of the same voltage (12V) as is
used with your engine.
3.Attach one end of the positive booster cable
(red) to the positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery. Attach the other end on the positive
cable to the positive (+) terminal of your engine
battery.
WARNING
Electrical arcing can cause se-
vere personal injury. Do not allow positiveand negative cable ends to touch.
WARNING
Jump starting a battery incor-
rectly can cause either battery to explode,
resulting in severe personal injury or death.
Do not allow any spark, flame, pilot light, lit
cigarette, or other ignition sources near the
battery. Do not jump start a frozen battery.
6.Turn ignition switch to start engine.
CAUTION
Overcranking the engine can
cause starter damage. Do not engage start-
er for longer than 30 seconds. If engine
does not start, allow 5 minutes for starter to
cool between cranking intervals.

STARTING SYSTEM
Starter Service
Starter
Normally, the starter requires little or no service oth-
er than possible brush replacement. However, if
through accident or misuse, the starter requires ser-
vice or overhaul, the following provides the informa-
tion necessary to perform this service.
Functional Operation
When the engine is turned ON, low electric current
(M#) flows through the coil of the solenoid and the
coil is excited. The plunger is pulled and higher current (S #) flows through the starter. See Fig 4-4
When starting the engine, note the starter motor ac-
tion. The pinion gear should mesh quickly with the
flywheel ring gear and spin the engine. Once the en-
gine starts and the solenoid opens, the startershould disengage and stop. If the starter cranks the
engine slowly, or not at all, check the start circuit
components. Failure to crank is usually caused by a
low battery charge, defective battery cables, cor-
roded or poor connections, or low temperatures. Af-
ter checking these variables and the starter contin-
ues to crank slowly, remove and repair the starter.
Assembly: Assembly is the reverse of disassem-
bly. Apply grease to the shift fork hinge and prongs
and the splines on the armature shaft. Torque
mounting bolts as specified in Section 2, page 2-8.

Solenoid Inspection
For typical wiring connections at the starter sole-
noid, refer to Figure 4-6.
Before removing a starter because the engine does
not crank:
1. Make sure the battery is fully charged, the con-
nections are clean and tight and the battery
cables are in good condition. If it is necessary
to reconnect the battery, connect the positive
( + ) battery cable first.
FRAME
2.Disconnect the spark plug cable so that the engine will not start. Bypass the start circuit with
a jumper between the start and the positive battery ( + ) terminal on the solenoid (Figure 4-6). If
the engine cranks, the solenoid and starter are
probably okay. If the engine does not crank, go
to Step 3.
3.Bypass the starter solenoid with a jumper be-
tween the motor and the positive battery ( + ) terminal on the solenoid (Figure 4-6). If the motor
responds, it is probably okay and it may only be
necessary to replace the solenoid.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Clean parts thoroughly before reassembly.
A.Make sure the piston, cylinder, crankshaft,
connecting rod and bearings are particu-
larly clean.
2.Scrape off all carbon deposits from cylinder
head, top of piston and piston ring grooves.
3.Check lips of oil seals. Replace any oil seal
where the lip is damaged. Apply grease to the
lip before reassembly.
4. Replace all gaskets with new ones.
5. If necessary, replace keys, pins, bolts, nuts,
etc.
6.Torque bolts and nuts to specification. Refer to
the “TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS” Table inSection 2.
7.Apply oil to rotating and meshing parts.
8. Check and adjust clearances and end plays
where specified in this section.
SPECIAL TOOLS
No special tools are required for disassembly of the
engine. Metric-size sockets and wrenches will be
needed. A ring spreader will be needed to install
pistion rings, and a ring compressor will be used to
install the pistons.
BREAK–IN OPERATION
An engine that has been completely overhauled
with new piston, rings, valves and connecting rods
should be thoroughly broken-in before being placed
into service. Good bearing surfaces and running
clearances between the various parts can be estab-
lished only by operating the engine under reduced
speed and loads for a period of time.
To break-in the engine:
1. Run the engine at 2500 rpm, without a load, for
10 minutes.
2.Run the engine at 3,000 rpm for 10 minutes.
3.Run the engine at 3,600 rpm for 10 minutes.
4. Run the engine with a load of 8 HP at 3,600 rpm
for 30 minutes.
5. Run the engine with a load of 16 HP at 3,600rpm for 30 minutes.
While the engine is being tested, check for fuel and
oil leaks.
Make final carburetor adjustments and regulate the
engine operating speed.
After the first 20 hours of normal operation, change
the oil and oil filter.
PRE-ASSEMBLY
Inspect and pre-assemble the engine subassem-
blies prior to replacing in crankcase.
Crankcase
1. Replace oil pump filter in bottom of crankcase
(Figure 5-16).
2.Insert ball and relief valve spring into bottom of
crankcase. Tighten plug to specified torque.

Breather Plate and Cover
The crankcase breather prevents pressure from
building up in the crankcase. It also prevents oil
contamination by removing moisture or gasoline
vapors and other harmful blow-by materials from
the crankcase. These vapors are routed to the car-
buretor where they are mixed with incoming air and
burned in the combustion chamber. A sticky breath-
er valve can cause oil leaks, high oil consumption,
rough idle, reduced engine power, and a rapid
formation of sludge and varnish within the engine.
1. Attach breather plate (breather valve) and
breather cover to crankcase using the proper
gaskets.
2.Position the breather plate so the reed valve is
opens away from the cylinder head. (Figure6-12.)
