GENERAL DESCRIPTJON
of
ENGINE CONSTRUCTION
CYLINDER, CRANKCASE
The
cylinder and
the
crankcase
are
die-cast
as
a
compact aluminium mono-block piece.
The
cylinder liner and
the
valve
seats
are
made of special alloy
cast
iron and
are
imbedded in
the
aluminium casting
as
inserts. The intake and exhaust ports
are
located
at
one side
of
the
cylinder and
are
also
made
of
inserted pieces in
the
casting.
The crankcase
is
separable
at
the driving
shaft
side and this separable piece constitutes
the
main bearing cover.
4-2
MAIN BEARING COVER
As
the aluminium die-cast main bearing cover
is
built onto the crankcase on the driving shaft
side, the engine 'inside
are
reached
for inspection, easily by simply removing it. It
is
also
provided with
a
flange and
boss
for directly mounting operating machines such
as
generators
and pumps.
There
are
two
oil filters serving also
as
oil gauges provided
at
two locations.
(However, in
EY18-3
or
EY23
engine,
at
one location in
the
carburetor
side.)
4-3
CRANKSHAFT
The crankshaft is machined from
a
carbon
steel
forging with
an
induction hardened crank pin.
On
the
fan side,
the
breaker
cam is provided and on
the
driving side,
the
crankshaft
gear
is
force-fit.
44
CONNECTING ROD
and
PISTON
The connecting rod
is
machined from an aluminium alloy forging in which the
forged
alloy itself
serves
as
the
bearing metal
at
both
ends. On
the
large end, an oil scraper
for
splashing
the
lubricating
oil
is
provided.
The piston is machined from an aluminium alloy casting and
is
provided with two grooves
for
compression rings and one groove
for
the
oil ring.
4-5
CAMSHAFT
The camshaft is machined from
a
carbon
steel
forging with integral intake and exhaust cams
and
is
provided with a force-fit cam gear.
In
the
model B engine,
the
camshaft
serves
also
as
the
driving shaft, being driven
at
half
the
crankshaft speed.
In
the
EY14D, EY23D, EY25-2D
and
EY27-2D
engines,
the
camshaft is machined from a special alloy
cast
iron with an integral
camshaft
gear,
and is supported by aluminium bearing metals machined integral with
the
crankcase
at
both ends. (no
ball
bearing is used)

4-6
VALVE ARRANGEMENT
The exhaust valve is positioned
in
the
upstream side of the cooling air with the result that the
exhaust valve
is
intensively cooled for engine life improvement.
-
4-7
CYLINDER
HEAD
A
Ricardo type combustion chamber
of
ample area is employed for good combustion efficiency.
The spark plug
is
mounted obliquely to facilitate fuel tank mounting.
4-8
GOVERNOR
The flyweight type governor effectively operates to maintain
the
selected speed at varying
load.
The model
EY14, EY18-3
and
EY23
engine
is
equipped with a separate gearing for the governor
to
secure better performance.
4-9
COOLING
Cooling is accomplished
by
a
flow
of air circulated past the cylinder walls and head
fins
from a
combination fan-flywheel. The air
is
guided
by
a cylinder buffle
and
a head cover. The
EY14,
EY18-3,
EY23,
EY25-2
and
EY27-2
engines are equipped with curved vane fans made
in
two
modifications, each
for
direct drive and reduction drive engines.
4-10
LUBRICATION
Lubrication for rotating and sliding parts is accomplished
by
scooping and splashing the
oil
in
the crankcase
with
oil scraper attached to connecting rod.
4-11 IGNITION
The ignition system
is
of the flywheel magneto type
with
the ignition timing set
230
before
T.D.C. The magneto comprises a flywheel, ignition coil and a breaker, of which the flywheel
(serving also as a fan)
is
mounted on the crankshaft and the two other members are mounted
directly
in
the crankcase. (for details, refer
to
7.
MAGNETO
section)
The model
EY23
engine normally incorporates an electronic ignition system.
4-12 CARBURETOR
A
horizontal draft carburetor
is
employed. Its setting has been carefully determined after
through testing to achieve best starting, accelerating, fuel consumption, output and other
performances.
For
other details such as construction, refer to
9.
CARBURETOR
section.
4-13
AIR
CLEANER
The model
EY
14,
EY18-3
and
EY23
engines are equipped with an oval air cleaner incorporating
8
sponge element.
The cycl.one type air cleaner with a semi-wet double element is optional.
The
model
EY25-2,
EY27-2
engines are equipped
with
an
cyclone type semi-wet double element
air cleaner.
