EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION
Toprotect the environment in which weall live, Kawasaki has incorporatedcrankcaseemission (1) and exhaust emission (2) control systems (EM) in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental P rotection Agency and California Air Resources Board.
1. Crankcase Emission Control System
A sealed-type crankcase emission control system is used to eliminate blow-by gases. The blow-by gases are led to the breather chamber through the crankcase. Then, it is led to the air cleaner.
Oil is separated from the gases while passing through the inside of the breather chamber from the crankcase, and then returned back to the bottom of crankcase.
2. Exhaust Emission Control System The exhaust emission control system applied to this engine consists of a carburetor and an
ignition system having optimum ignition timing characteristics.
The carburetor has been calibrated to provide lean air/fuel mixture characteristics and opti-
mum fuel economy with a suitable air cleaner and exhaust system.
TAMPERING WITH EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED
Federal law and California State law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) the removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new engine for the purpose of emission control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the engine after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.
Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below: Do not tamper w ith the original emission related part:
Carburetor and internal parts
Spark plugs
Magneto or electronic ignition system
Fuel filter element
Air cleaner elements
Crankcase
Cylinder heads
Breather chamber and internal parts

1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before Servicing

Before starting to service the engine, carefully read the applicable section to eliminate unnecessary work. Photographs, diagrams, notes, cautions, warnings, and detailed descriptions have been in­cluded wherever necessary. Nevertheless, even a detailed account has limitations, a certain amount of basic knowledge is required for successful work.
Especially note the following
(1) Dirt
Before removal and disassembly, clean the engine. Any dirt entering the engine, carburetor, or other parts, will work as an abrasive and shorten the life of engine. For the same reason, before installing a new part, clean off any dust or metal filings.
(2) Battery Ground
Remove the ground (–) lead from the battery before performing any disassembly operations on the equipment. This prevents:
(a)t he possibility of accidentally turning the engine over while partially disassembled. (b)sparks at electrical connections which will occur when they are disconnected. (c)damage t o electrical parts.
(3) Tightening Sequence
Generally, when installing a part with several bolts, nuts, or screws, start them all in their holes and tighten them to a snug fit. Then tighten them evenly, in a staggered sequence. This is to avoid distortion of the part and/or causing gas or oil leakage. Conversely when loosening the bolts, nuts, or screws, first loosen all of them by about a quarter of a turn and then remove them. Where there is a tightening sequence indication in this Service Manual, the bolts, nuts, or screws must be tightened in the order and method indicated.
(4) Torque
When torque values are given in this Service Manual, use them. Either too little or too much torque may lead to serious damage. Use a good quality, reliable torque wrench.
(5) Force
Common sense should dictate how much force is necessary in assembly and disassembly. If a part seems especially difficult to remove or install, stop and examine what may be causing the problem. Whenever tapping is necessary,tap lightly using a wooden or plastic-faced mallet. Use an impact driver f or screws (particularlyfor the removal of screws held by a locking agent) in order to avoid damaging the heads.
(6) Edges
Watchfor sharp edges, especiallyduring major engine disassembly and assembly. Protect your hands with gloves or a piece of thick cloth when lifting the engine or turning it over.
(7) High-Flash Point Solvent
A high-flash point solvent is recommended to reduce fire danger. A commercial solvent com­monlyavailable in North America is Standard solvent (genericname). Alwaysfollow manufacturer and container directions regarding the use of any solvent.
(8) Gasket, O-ring
Do not reuse a gasket or O-ring once it has been in service. The mating surfaces around the gasket should be free of foreign matter and perfectly smooth to avoid oil or compression leaks.
(9) Liquid Gasket, Non-Permanent Locking Agent
Follow manufacturer ’s directions for cleaning and preparing surfaces where these compounds will be used. Apply sparingly. Excessive amounts may block engine oil passages and cause serious damage. An example of a non-permanent locking agent commonly available in North America is Loctite Lock’n Seal (Blue).
(10)Press
A part installed using a press or driver, such as a journal, should first be coated with oil on its outer or inner circumference so that it will go into place smoothly.
(11)B all Bearing, Needle Bearing
Do not remove a ball bearing or a needle bearing unless it is absolutely necessary. Replace any ball or needle bearings that were removed with new ones. Install bearings with the manufacturer and size marks facing out, applying pressure evenly with a suitable driver to the end of the race that contacts the press fit portion, and press it evenly over the base component.
Page 11
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
Before Servicing
(12)Oil Seal and Grease Seal
Replace any oil or grease seals that were removed with new ones, as removal generally dam-
ages seals.
When pressing in a seal which has manufacturer’s marks, press it in with the marks facing out. Seals should be pressed into place using a suitable driver, which contacts evenly with the side of seal, until the face of the seal is even with the end of the hole.
(13)Seal Guide
A seal guide is required for certain oil or grease seals during installation to avoid damage to the seal lips. Before a shaft passes through a seal, apply a little oil, preferably high-temperature grease on the lips to reduce rubber to metal friction.
(14)Circlip, Retaining Ring and Cotter Pin
When installing circlips and retaining rings, take care to compress or expand them only enough to install them and no more. Install the circlip with i ts chamfered side facing load side as well.
Replace any circlips, retaining rings, and cotter pins that were removed with new ones, as re­moval weakens and deforms them. If old ones are reused, they could become detached while running, leading to a problem.
(15)Lubrication
Engine wear is generally at its maximum while the engine is warming up and before all the rubbing surfaces have an adequate lubricative film. During assembly, oil or grease ( whichever is more suitable) should be applied to any rubbing surface which has lost its lubricative film. Old grease and dirty oil should be cleaned off. Deteriorated grease has lost its lubricative quality and may contain abrasive foreign particles.
Don’t use just any oil or grease. Some oils and greases in particular should be used only in certain applications and may be harmful if used in an application for which they are not intended. This manual makes reference to molybdenum disulfide grease (MoS2) in the assembly of certain engine parts. Always check manufacturer recommendations before using such special lubricants.
(16)Electrical Wires
All the electrical wires are either single-color or two-color and, with only a few exceptions, must be connected to wires of the same color. On any of the two-color wires there is a greater amount of one color and a lesser amount of a second color, so a two-color wire is identified by first the primary color and then the secondary color. For example, a yellow wire with thin red stripes is referred to as a “yellow/red” wire; it would be a “red/yellow” wire if the colors were reversed to make red the main color.
(17)Replacement Parts
When there is a replacement instruction, replace these parts with new ones every time they are removed. There replacement parts will be damaged or lose their original function once removed.
(18)Inspection
When parts have been disassembled, visually inspect these parts for the following conditions or other damage. If there i s any doubt as to the condition of them, replace them with new ones.
Abrasion Crack Hardening Warp Bent Dent Scratch Wear Color change Deterioration Seizure

Seat Cutter Operating Cares
1. This valve seat cutter is designed only for valve seat
repair. Therefore the cutter must not be used for other purposes.
2. Do not drop or hit the valve seat cutter, or the diamond
particles may fall off.
3. Do not fail to apply engine oil to the valve seat cutter
before grinding the seat surface. Also wash off ground particles sticking to the cutter with washing oil.
NOTE
Do not use a wire brush to remove the metal particles
from the cutter. It will take off the diamond particles.
4. Setting the valve seat cutter holder [A] in position, op-
erate the cutter [B] with one hand [C]. Do not apply too much force to the diamond portion.
NOTE
Prior to grinding, apply engine oil to the cutter, and dur-
ing the operation wash off any ground particles sticking to the cutter with washing oil.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-13
5. After use wash the cutter with washing oil and apply a
thin layer of engine oil before storing.

Operating Procedures
Clean the seat area carefully.
Recondition the valve seats with the valve seat cutters
(45°, 32°) and lap the valves.
Check the seats for good contact all the way around with
machinist’s dye.
Measure the seat width [A]. If it is more than the standard
width, the seating surface should be r efaced.
If the valve seating pattern is not correct, repair the seat.
Page 30
2-14 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Coat the seat with machinist’s dye.
Fit a 45° cutter [A] to the holder and slide it into the valve
guide. Resurface the valve seat with a 45° cutter, removing only
enough material to produce a smooth and concentric seat.
CAUTION
Do not grind the seat too much. Overgrinding will reduce valve clearance by sinking the valve into the head. If the valve sinks too far into the head, it will beimpossible to adjust the clearance, and the cylin­der head must be replaced. Do not turn the cutter counterclockwise or drop it against the seat, or it will be dulled.
Use a 32° seat cutter [A] to narrow the seat width to the
standard width. Turntheseatcutteroneturnatatimewhile pressingdown
very lightly. Check the seat width after each turn.
CAUTION
The 32° cutter removes material very quickly. Check the seat width frequently to prevent over grinding.
NOTE
Keepthe seat width as closeas possible to thestandard
width.
Make a light contact on the valve seat with the 45° cutter
to remove any possible burrs at the edge of the seat. After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve seating.
Apply a m achinist’s dye to the valve face, insert the
valve, and snap it closed against the seat several times. The valve surface should show good contact all the way around. Be sure the valve seat is centered on the valve face. The position of the valve in the seat is evident after lapping the valve. If the seat does not make proper contact, lap the valve into seat with a lapper.
Coat the face of valve sparingly with a fine lapping com-
pound. Use the lappingtool [A], to grip top of the valve [B]. Rotate
the valve in a circular motion to lap the valve to the seat. Lift the valve slightly from the seat every 8 to 10 strokes,
continue lapping operation until a uniform ring appears around entire surface of the valve face.
Page 31
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
When lapping is completed, wash all parts in solvent to
remove lapping compound. Dry the parts thoroughly.
Note the position of the lapping mark on the valve face.
The lapping mark should appear on or near the center of
the valve face.

Carburetor

Fuel and Air Flow

FX Models
The main system of the carburetor consists of the main jet [A], valve seat [B], main nozzle [C], and the main air passage [D] (main air jet [E]). The main system meters fuel to the engine during m oderate to heavy load conditions. Fuel flows through the main jet and into the main nozzle, where it is joined by air from the main air passage (main air orifice). The resulting mixture flows out the end of the main nozzle into t he carburetor bore, where it is atomized by the high speed air flow, and carried into the engine.
Page 49
FUEL SYSTEM 3-15
Carburetor
The pilot system includes the pilot jet [F], pilot screw [G] (Idle mixture screw), pilot outlet [H], and the bypass holes [I]. The pilot system meters the fuel/air mixture while the engine is idling and running under a light load. Under these conditions there is very little air flow through the carburetor bore; so little that it is not enough to draw fuel through the main system of the carburetor and atomize it. Instead, the fuel is drawn through the pilot system, since the nearly closed throttle valve [J] causes high speed air flow past the pilot outlet and bypass holes (even at low engine speed).
Fuel flow in the pilot system is metered by the pilot jet. Air for better atomization is admitted via the pilot air jet in the mouth of the carburetor. The fuel/air mixture passes into the bore of the carburetor side stream of the throttle valve through the bypass holes and pilot outlet. While the throttle valve is almost closed, it covers the small bypass holes opening into the bore from the pilot system. As the throttle valve begins to open, it uncovers the bypass holes, allowing more fuel/air mixture to flow. The extra flow is needed because the engine starts to run f aster as the throttle is opened. The pilot screw controls the amount of fuel/air mixture allowed through the pilot outlet, but does not meter the bypass holes. A moderate amount of air comes in around the throttle valve at an idle, so adjusting the pilot screw changes the fuel/air ratio. Turning the pilot screw (Idle mixture screw) out (Counterclockwise) enrichens the mixture; turning it in (clockwise) leans the mixture.

Fuel flows through the main jet and into the main nozzle, where it is joined by air from the m ain air passage (main air jet). The resulting mixture flows out the end of the main nozzle into the carbu­retor bore, where it is atomized by the high speed air flow, and carried into the engine.
The pilot system includes the pilot jet [E], pilot screw [F] (idle mixture screw), pilot air jet [G], pilot outlet [H], and the bypassholes[I].The pilot system meters the fuel/airmixture while the engine is idling and running under a light load. Under these conditions there is very little air flow through thecarburetor bore; so littlethat it is not enough to draw fuel through the main system of the carburetor and atomize it. Instead, the fuel isdrawn through thepilot system, sincethe nearly closed throttle valve [J] causes high speed air flow past the pilot outlet and bypass holes (even at low engine speed).
Fuel flow in the pilot system is metered by the pilot jet. Air for better atomization is admitted via the pilot air jet in the mouth of the carburetor. The fuel/air mixture passes into the bore of the carburetor side stream of the throttle valve through the bypass holes and pilot outlet. While the throt­tle valve is almost closed, it covers the small bypass holes opening into the bore from the pilot system. As the throttle valve begins to open, it uncovers the bypass holes, allow­ing more fuel/air mixture to flow. The extra flow is needed because the engine starts to run faster as the throttle is opened. The pilot screw controls the amount of fuel/air mixture allowed through the pilot outlet, but does not me­ter the bypass holes. A moderate amount of air comes in around the throttle valve at idle, so adjusting the pilot screw changes the fuel/air ratio. Turning the pilot screw (idle mix­ture screw) out (counterclockwise) enriches the mixture; turning it in (clockwise) leans the mixture.

Fuel Shut Off Solenoid Valve

To avoid after firing when stopping the engine, a solenoid actuated fuel shut off solenoid valve [A] is installed in the carburetor bowl. The valve shuts off the fuel supply to the main jets [B] simultaneously when the switch key turned to the “OFF” position.
The valve opens automatically when the switch key is turned to the “Run” position.

High Altitude Operation

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main-jet in the carburetor and adjusting the idle speed.
NOTE
The main jet high altitude kits are available if the equip-
ment is to be used in the high altitude. The main jet numbers are stamped on the ends of the main jets.

Carburetor Cleaning

WARNING
Clean the carburetor in a well-ventilated area, and take care that there is no sparks or flame anywhere near the working area; this includes any appliance with a pilot light. Because of the danger of highly flammable liquids, do not use gasoline or low-flash point solvents to clean the carburetors.
CAUTION
Do not use compressed air on an assembled carbu­retor, or the floats may be crushed by the pressure. Remove as many rubber or plastic parts from the carburetor as possible before cleaning the carbure­tor with a cleaning solution. This w ill prevent dam ­age to or deterioration of the parts. The carburetor body has plastic parts that can­not be removed. Do not use a strong carburetor cleaning solution which could attack these parts; instead, use a mild high-flash point cleaning solu­tion safe for plastic parts. Do not use wire or any other hard instrument to clean carburetor parts, especially jets, as they may be damaged.
Disassemble the carburetor (see Carburetor Disassem-
bly/Assembly). Immerse all the carburetor metal parts in a carburetor
cleaning solution and clean them. Rinse the parts in water and dry them with compressed
air. Do not use rags or paper to dry parts. Lint may plug the
holes or passages. Blow air through the holes and fuel passages with the
compressed air. All holes must be open. Assemble the carburetor (see Carburetor Disassem-
bly/Assembly).

Compression Measurement

Before measuring compression, do the following.
Be sure the battery is fully charged.
Thoroughly warm up the engine so that engine oil be-
tween the piston and cylinder wall will help sealing the compression as it does during normal running. Stop the engine.
Disconnect the spark plug caps of each cylinder and re-
move the spark plugs. Attach the compression gauge assembly firmly into one
plug hole.
Special Tools-Compression Gauge, 20kgf/cm²: 57001-221

Ground the spark plugs to the engine.
WARNING
To avoid fire, do not ground the spark plugs in prox­imity to the plug holes. Keep the plugs as far away as possible from the plug holes.
ENGINE TOP END 5-7
Open the throttle fully. Run the engine by turning the en-
gineswitchkeyseveraltimesuntilthecompressiongauge stops rising. Read the highest compression value.
Cylinder Compression (MIN) 440 kPa (64 psi) @ Engine Oil Temperature 50 60°C (122 140°F), Cranking Speed 450 rpm/5 Seconds
Repeat the measurement on the other cylinder.
If the compression is higher than the specified value, the pistonrings,cylinderandvalvesare probably in good con­dition. If the compression is too high, check the following.
1. Carbon build-up on the piston crown and cylinder head
- clean off any carbon on the piston crown and cylinder head.
2. Cylinder head gasket - use only the proper gasket. The use of a gasket of incorrect thickness will change the compression.
3. Valve guides and piston rings - rapid carbon accumula­tion in the combustion chamber may be caused by worn valve guides and/or worn piston oil rings. This may be indicated by white exhaust smoke.
If the cylinder compression is lower than the (MIN), check the following.
1. Gas leakage around the cylinder head - replace the damaged gasket with a new one and check the cylinder head warp.
2. Condition of the valve seating.
3. Valve clearance.
4. Piston/cylinder wear, piston seizure.
5. Piston ring, piston ring groove.
