• REMOVE PAINT BEFORE WELDING OR HEATING

Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust. Hazardousfumes can be generated when paint is heated bywelding, soldering, or using a torch. Do all work outsideor in a well ventilated area. Dispose of paint andsolvent properly. Remove paint before welding orheating: If you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing thedust. Wear an approved respirator. If you use solvent orpaint stripper, remove stripper with soap and waterbefore welding. Remove solvent or paint strippercontainers and other flammable material from area.Allow fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes beforewelding or heating.

• AVOID HARMFUL ASBESTOS DUST

Avoid breathing dust that may be generated whenhandling components containing asbestos fibers.Inhaled asbestos fibers may cause lung cancer.

Components in products that may contain asbestosfibers are brake pads, brake band and liningassemblies, clutch plates, and some gaskets. Theasbestos used in these components is usually found ina resin or sealed in some way. Normal handling is nothazardous as long as airborne dust containingasbestos is not generated.

Avoid creating dust. Never use compressed air forcleaning. Avoid brushing or grinding materialcontaining asbestos. When servicing, wear anapproved respirator. A special vacuum cleaner isrecommended to clean asbestos. If not available, applya mist of oil or water on the material containingasbestos. Keep bystanders away from the area.

ENGINE MODEL CONFIGURATION CHANGES

FD590V

The following is a list of the major differences betweenthe model configurations of the FD590V-AS00 throughthe FD590V-AS03.

• The FD590V-AS00 is the first configuration used and its first application was in the 285 Lawn and Garden Tractor.

• FD590V-AS01 was converted to a electronic fuel injection system. The carburetor was replaced by a throttle body and a water temperature sensor was added.

• FD590V-AS02 engine is used in the 2243 Triplex Professional Greensmower.

• FD590V-AS03 is used in the F725 Front Mower. The power was increased from 18 to 20 horsepower. To obtain the higher horsepower the following components were changed:

• A larger redesigned intake manifold • The cylinder head induction passage and combustion

chamber was redesigned.• A larger carburetor is used.

NOTE: The FD440V, FD501V and FD590V are vertical shaft engines. The FD620D is a horizontal shaft engine.

FD620D

The differences in horsepower are due to the following:

• rpm that the engine must run for the application.• the efficiencies of fuel injection on the FD620 - AS01.

DO NOT use these values if a different torque value ortightening procedure is given for a specific application.Torque values listed are for general use only. Checktightness of fasteners periodically.

Shear bolts are designed to fail under predeterminedloads. Always replace shear bolts with identical grade.

Fasteners should be replaced with the same or highergrade. If higher grade fasteners are used, these shouldonly be tightened to the strength of the original. Makesure fasteners threads are clean and that you properlystart thread engagement. This will prevent them fromfailing when tightening.

Tighten plastic insert or crimped steel-type lock nuts to

approximately 50 percent of the dry torque shown inthe chart, applied to the nut, not to the bolt head.Tighten toothed or serrated-type lock nuts to the fulltorque value.a “Lubricated” means coated with a lubricant such asengine oil, or fasteners with phosphate and oilcoatings. “Dry” means plain or zinc plated without anylubrication.b Grade 2 applies for hex cap screws (not hex bolts) upto 152 mm (6-in.) long. Grade 1 applies for hex capscrews over 152 mm (6-in.) long, and for all other typesof bolts and screws of any length.

SPECIFICATIONS & INFORMATION GASOLINE SPECIFICATIONS

2 - 16 4/7/95

GASOLINE SPECIFICATIONS

IMPORTANT: To avoid engine damage:DO NOT mix oil with gasolineUse only clean oil and fuelUse clean approved containers and funnels.Store oil and fuel in an area protected from dust, moisture and other contamination.

Unleaded fuel is recommended because it burnscleaner and leaves less unburned deposits in enginecombustion chamber. Regular leaded gasoline with ananti-knock index of 87 or higher may be used.Use ofgasohol is acceptable as long as the ethyl alcoholblend does not exceed 11 percent. Unleaded gasoholis preferred over leaded gasohol.

Fill fuel tank at end of each day's operation. Fill only tobottom of filler neck.

c CAUTION:

Handle fuel with care, it is highly flammable. DO NOT refuel machine:

• Indoors. Always fill fuel tank outdoors.

• While you smoke.

• When machine is near and open flame or sparks.

• When engine is running. STOP engine.

• When engine is hot. Allow it to cool.

Help prevent fires:

• Fill fuel tank only to bottom of filler neck.

• Clean oil, grease and dirt from machine.

• Clean up spilled fuel immediately.

• Do not store machine with fuel in tank in a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

To prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge while you fill tank:

• Use approved, non-metal fuel container.

• When using a funnel, MAKE SURE it is PLASTIC.

• Avoid using a funnel which has a metal screen or filter.

FUEL STORAGEKeep fuel in a clean container in a protected area.Water and sediment must bromated before fuel gets tothe engine. Do not use deicers to remove water fromfuel. Do not depend on fuel filters to remove water.

If possible, install a water separator at the storage tankoutlet.

IMPORTANT: Keep all dirt, scale, water or other foreign material out of fuel.

If vehicle is either stored or used during the winter, addTY6295 John Deere Gasoline Storage Stabilizer or anequivalent to the fuel. Follow directions on can.

LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS SPECIFICATIONS & INFORMATION

4/7/95 2 - 17

LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS

ENGINE OILUse oil viscosity based on the expected air temperaturerange during the period between oil changes.

The following oil is preferred:

• John Deere PLUS-4®

Other oils may be used if they meet one of thefollowing:

• API Service Classification SG• API Service Classification SF• CCMC Specification G4Oils meeting Military Specification MIL-L-46167B maybe used as arctic oils.

OIL FILTERSFiltration of oils is critical to proper lubrication. Alwayschange filters regularly.

Use filters meeting John Deere performancespecification.

TS1411

ENGINE COOLANTUse ethylene glycol base coolant. These coolantsusually have labels stating “For Automobile and LightDuty Service.” These products are also often labeledfor use in aluminum engines. Check container labelbefore using.

IMPORTANT: To prevent engine damage, DO NOT use pure antifreeze or more than 50% antifreeze in the cooling system. DO NOT mix or add any other type additives to the cooling system.

Mix approximately 50 percent antifreeze with 50percent distilled or deionized water. This mixture willprovide freeze protection to -340 F (-37 0 C).

Certain geographical areas may require lowertemperature protection. See the label on yourantifreeze container or consult your John Deere dealerto obtain the latest information and recommendations.

The recommended antifreeze provides:

• Adequate heat transfer.• Corrosion-resistant environment within the cooling

system.• Compatibility with cooling system hose and seal

material.• Protection during cold and hot weather operations.

SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTSSynthetic lubricants may be used in John Deereequipment if they meet the applicable performancerequirements (industry classification and/or militaryspecification) as shown in this group.

The recommended temperature limits and service or oilchange intervals should be maintained as shown in theoperator’s manual.

Avoid mixing different brands, grades, or types of oil.Oil manufacturers blend additive in their oils to meetcertain specifications and performance requirements.Mixing different oils can interfere with the properfunctioning of these additives and degrade lubricantperformance.

BREATHER

OPERATIONThe breather controls crankcase pressure, preventingoil from being forced out passed the piston rings, oilseals and gaskets. The reed valve limits air flow out ofthe crankcase caused by piston movement, then blocksreturn air flow creating a vacuum in the crankcase.

Oil ladden air enters the breather chamber where it isdirected through a mase, separating most of the oilfrom the air. The oil drains back to the crankcase andthe air vents back the the intake air in the air cleaner.

FUEL SYSTEM & GOVERNOR CARBURETOR

4 - 4 4/7/95

THEORY OF OPERATIONCarburetors operate on the principles that air movingthrough a tube will speed up with a resulting drop inpressure when it passes through the venturi. The lowpressure at the venturi allows normal air pressure inthe float bowl to force fuel through the main jet and upinto the carburetor throat where it is atomized by thehigh speed flow of air and carried into the engine.

Float System:

The float and inlet needle valve controls the inlet of fuelinto the carburetor. It is continually opening andclosings the inlet needle valve to maintains a constantfuel supply and level.

Proper level is important because it will effect the abilityof atmospheric pressure to force the transfer of fuelthrough the passages

Pilot System:

The pilot system meters fuel/air mixture while engine isidling and running under light load.

At idle, the throttle plate will be nearly closed. Only thepilot outlet port is uncovered. There is not enough airvolume or velocity to draw fuel through the main circuit.Fuel flow is metered by the pilot jet. Some air is alsometered by a pilot air jet and allowed to mix with thepilot fuel for better atomization.Some pilot air jets arelock into the correct position with a clip and capscrew.Tis is done to align internal passages. The pilotjet and pilot air jet are not adjustable.

The pilot mixture air screw only adjusts the mixture outthe pilot outlet and does not effect the transitionports.Each transition port is uncovered as the throttleopens, allowing more fuel flow.

Main Jet System:

The main circuit functions when the engine is at partialto full throttle (throttle plate full open), moderate toheavy loads. In this condition, air flows very quicklythrough the venturi, creating a very low pressure areaat the end of the main nozzle. Air pressure in the bowlnow can push fuel up through the main jet and out thenozzle. At the same time, air is also drawn through themain air jet, into a cavity surrounding the main nozzlecalled the emulsion tube. Here the fuel is mixed with airbubbles created by the small holes, Raw fuel and airbegin atomizing.

The main jet and main air jet are not adjustable. Onlythe main jet can be removed and replaced by adifferent size to compensate for higher or lower altitudeoperation. The engine and it’s application determinethe size of the main jet used in each carburetor.

Choke Operation:

The choke plate restricts most of the air flow though thecarburetor to provide a very fuel rich mixture forstarting. Because of the restriction and very lowpressure area in carburetor throat, fuel is forced thoughall ports (main and pilot). Air is mixed with the main airjet and pilot air jets as previously described. The fuel/air mixture is richer because there is less air flowthrough the venturi.

Fuel Shut-off Solenoid:

It’s purpose is to help control engine backfire.

When the ignition key is turned on, the solenoidretracts a plunger that was plugging the main jet oraccess passage to the main jet, and allows fuel to entermain jet or cavity.

When the engine is turned off, the fuel shut-off solenoidreleases the plunger, closing off fuel flow. This allowsthe engine to starve for fuel, preventing excess fuel thatmight have ignited during engine shutdown.

CLEAN AND REBUILD CARBURETORThere are a n umber of plates or boll plugs on/in thecarburetor that should not be removed.

• Turn the idle mixture screw in and note the numberof turns required to lightly seat it before removingit.

NOTE: If all rubber or plastic parts cannot be removedfor cleaning, use a solvent, with a high flashpoint, that will not damage these parts whencleaning.

• Remove rubber or plastic parts from the carburetor.Immerse all the carburetor metal parts in acarburetor cleaning solution.

• Rinse the parts in water and dry with compressedair, do not use rags or paper to dry parts. Lint canplug the tiny passages in the carburetor.

• Inspect the carburetor body for damage. Ensure thesealing surfaces and flanges are smooth and freeof nicks and burrs.

• Turn the idle mixture screw in until lightly seatedand back it out the same number of turns countedduring disassembly.

• Install the choke valve with the metering holetowards the fuel inlet joint of the carburetor.

• Ensure the float pin extends the same distance onboth sides of the float hinge bracket whenreassembling the carburetor.

• Ensure the throttle and choke valves move freelyand that the shaft bosses are not elongated orworn. If shaft bosses have any of these conditions,replace the carburetor.

• Inspect the inlet needle for wear or damage. The tipshould be smooth, without any grooves, scratchesor tears. If worn or damaged, replace the floatassembly and carburetor body as a set.

• Inspect the idle mixture screw for wear or damage,replace it if necessary.

FLOAT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: Plastic floats are non-adjustable.

1. Hold air horn upside down at eye level with float assembly installed.

2. Gently support float with a finger and lower it slowly until the float arm tab just touches the float valveneedle.

3. The float lower surface should be parallel with the body mating surface.

MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP FUEL SYSTEM & GOVERNOR

MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP

THEORY OF OPERATION

Function:

Transfer fuel from the fuel tank to the carburetor.

Theory of Operation:

The fuel pump is a mechanical drive type unit. A camon the camshaft of the engine moves actuating plunger.This plunger moves pivot arm which is connected todiaphragm. A spring is also connected to thediaphragm.

As the contact point of the plunger on the cam changesfrom the base to the tip during rotation, the plungermoves outward. This rotates the pivot arm and pulls thediaphragm downward increasing the volume of thepump chamber. This creates a low pressure area andfuel is drawn in from the fuel tank past inlet valve.When the contact point of the plunger changes fromthe tip to the base on the plunger moves inward andthe pivot arm rotate the opposite direction. This allowsthe spring to push the diaphragm upward and reducethe volume in the pump chamber. Fuel is forced out ofthe pump chamber past outlet valve to the carburetor.

The maximum pressure that the pump can developcontrolled by the strength of the spring. This designprevents over pressurizing the fuel being delivered thecarburetor.

Theory of Operation:

The governor controls engine speed. Governed enginespeed is a balance between governor spring tension,set by the throttle control, and actual engine speed,countered by centrifugal force of the governorflyweights. As tension is applied to governor spring,governor arm opens carburetor throttle shaft,increasing engine rpm. As engine speed increases,flyweight assembly, driven by the crankshaft, pusheson governor shaft, rotating governor arm, closingthrottle shaft, reducing rpm.

FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FUEL SYSTEM & GOVERNOR

4/7/95 4 - 11

FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM

THEORY OF OPERATIONThe fuel injected engines uses a digital fuel injectionsystem to control fuel delivery to the injector.

FD590V Shown

The following sensors and circuits monitor engineoperating conditions.

• throttle sensor (FD590V)• air temperature sensor• coolant temperature sensor• starter voltage circuit• engine speed circuit• battery voltage circuit• altitude compensation (Optional on FD590V)

These sensors send digital signals to a computer in thefuel injection module. The computer processes thesesignals and determines the correct amount of fuel toinject to match the present engine operating conditions.

A fuel control circuit that consists of a fuel pump andfuel pump relay are also controlled by the injectionmodule computer to provide the correct fuel delivery.

Fuel system pressure is controlled by the fuel pressureregulator.

The FD620D uses a injection system that is similar inoperation to of that of the FD590V with the followingdifferences.

• There is an additional air pressure sensor tocompensate for altitude.

• The ignition module is combined with the fuelinjection module so there is only one module.

• All the sensors are used to help adjust enginetiming, unlike the FD590V where only the enginespeed effected timing.

• Throttle sensor is no longer used. Engine speed issensed by the pulser

• Only one pulser is used. It controls ignition timing,injection timing and engine speed. The flywheelhas four tabs that are used by the single pulser.

• This injection system has self-diagnosis that checks

FUEL INJECTOR

THEORY OF OPERATION

Function:

Injects fuel into the throttle body at the correct time andduration.

Theory of Operation:

The fuel injector is a solenoid operated type valve withsingle point injection. Fuel is injected into the throttlebody when the solenoid is energized by the computer.The amount of fuel injected depends on the length oftime the injector valve is open and on fuel pressure.

High pressure fuel from the fuel pump flows throughfilter to the inlet passage. High pressure fuel also flowsout the outlet passage to the pressure regulator. Thepressure regulator maintains the correct fuel pressureneeded for injection. When the solenoid is energized,the solenoid core pulls the valve open against springtension. High pressure fuel is injected in the throttlebody through the nozzle. After a precise amount of fuelis injected, the computer de-energizes the solenoid.Spring tension closes valve guickly to preventadditional leakage.

FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR

THEORY OF OPERATION

Function:

Maintains a constant differential in pressure betweenfuel pressure at the injector and air pressure in thethrottle body.Therefore, the amount of fuel injected isdetermined by the opening time of the injector.

Theory of Operation:

The pressure regulator is an overflow type regulator.The spring chamber is connected to the throttle boby toinsure that they are operating at the same air pressure.High pressure fuel from the injector flows to thepressure regulator inlet and fills the fuel chamber. Ahose from the vacuum inlet is connected to the intakemanifold. This allows the air pressure in the springchamber and intake manifold to be equal.

When intake manifold vacuum increases, the springchamber vacuum also increases and overcomes springtension allowing the diaphragm to move upward. Withthe valve connected to the diaphragm, the valve movesupward and allows more fuel to flow out the outlet andreturn to the fuel tank. This lowers the fuel pressure. Asintake manifold vacuum decreases, the spring chambervacuum decreases and the spring returns thediaphragm to the original position. The valve restrictsfuel flow to return and fuel pressure increases.

FD590D Throttle Body

Operation:

An electric fuel pump, controled by the computer,supplies fuel to the inlet of the throttle body to theinjector. The fuel pressure regulator holds the fuelunder pressure in the injector. The computer recievessignals from the throttle sensor and other sensors thencontrols the time the injector is open. The injectorinjects the atomized into the throat of the throttle body.

Excess fuel not used by the injector flows through thepressure regulator back to the fuel tank.

The FD620 has an extra passage in the throttle bodythe allows for a means to relieve the fuel pressure inthe fuel lines before any work is done on the system.

INSPECT BLOCK CYLINDERS1. Clean and check block for cracks.2. Cracks not visible to the eye may be detected by

coating the suspected area with mixture of 25percent kerosene and 75 percent light engine oil.

3. Wipe area dry and immediately apply coating of zincoxide dissolved in wood alcohol. If crack is present,coating becomes discolored at the defective area.Replace block if any cracks are found.

4. Measure cylinder bore parallel with crankshaft andright angles to crankshaft at top and bottom of ringtravel.

5. If cylinder bore exceeds wear limit, replace cylinderblock or rebore cylinder.

NOTE: Before reboring, check availablity of oversize piston and rings. They must be installed.

DEGLAZE CYLINDER BORE1. Deglaze cylinder bore using a rigid hone with a 220

to 300 grit stone.2. Use hone as instructed by manufacturer to obtain

45° crosshatch pattern as shown.

IMPORTANT: Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or commercial solvents to clean cylinder bores. Solvents will not remove all abrasives from cylinder walls.

3. Clean cylinder walls using clean white rags andwater. Continue to clean cylinder until white ragsshow no discoloration.

REBORE CYLINDER BLOCK

IMPORTANT: Check stone for wear or damage. Use correct stone for the job.

NOTE: The cylinder block can be rebored to use 0.50 ( 0.020 ) oversize pistons and rings. Have a reliable repair shop rebore the block, or use a drill press and honing tool.

1. Rebore cylinder with a honing tool to initial and finalbore specifications.

2. Align center of bore to press center. Set the press tooperate from 200±250 rpm.

3. Lower and raise hone until ends extend 20±25 mm(0.75±1.0 in.) past ends of cylinder.

4. Turn adjusting nut on hone until stones contactcylinder wall at narrowest point.

45° - 60°

5. Coat inside of cylinder with honing oil. Turn hone byhand. If you cannot turn it, hone is too tight.

6. Start drill press. Move hone up and down in cylinderapproximately 20 times per minute to get 40 -60°cross-hatch pattern.

7. Check cylinder diameter regularly during honing.Stop press before measuring. Remove hone fromcylinder.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use gasoline or commercial solvents to clean cylinder bores. Solvents will not remove metal particles produced during honing.

9. Clean the cylinder thoroughly using soap, warmwater and clean rags. Continue to clean cylinderuntil white rags show no discoloration.

10. Apply oil to cylinder walls.

REMOVE AND INSTALL PISTON RINGS1. Remove piston rings with a piston ring expander.2. Inspect piston. Clean piston ring grooves. Check

piston ring end gap.

NOTE: FD590V and FD620D engines are equipped with a second compression ring. Install ring with mark facing up

3. Install top compression ring and second ring, ifequipped, with R or NPR mark facing up. Ringsshould turn freely in grooves.

4. Oil ring: Install spacer, then side rails. Put side railend gaps 180° apart.

CHECK PISTON RING END GAPBefore installing rings on piston, check end gap incylinder bore.

Install each ring squarely in bore approximately 25.4mm (1.0 in.) down from top of cylinder.

Check end gap. Replace ring if end gap is more thanspecifications.

The oil pump (F) draws oil (B) from the sump throughscreen (G). Pressure oil (A) from the pump flows to theoil pressure relief valve (E). If oil pressure exceeds 296kPa (43 psi), the relief valve opens allowing oil to returnto sump. Relief valve is not adjustable.

Pressure oil from the relief valve flows to the oil filter .

The filter contains a bypass valve which opens if theelement becomes plugged to insure engine lubrication.

An oil pressure switch mounted above the oil filter turnson a warning light if oil pressure is below 28 kPa (4 psi).Filtered pressure oil flows through a passage in the oilsump to the crankshaft main bearing (PTO side).Drilled passages in the crankshaft distribute oil fromthe main bearing to the connecting rod journals, andcrankshaft main bearing (flywheel side). A drilledpassage in the connecting rods allow oil from theconnecting rod journal to lubricate the piston andcylinder walls.

COOLING SYSTEM COOLING SYSTEM OPERATION

9 - 4 4/7/95

COOLING SYSTEM OPERATION

Function:

Remove heat from engine.

Theory of Operation:

The engine is liquid-cooled and uses a pressurized, fin-type radiator, water pump, and thermostat to regulateengine temperature. The cooling system is protectedby a coolant temperature switch that warns theoperator if the engine temperature becomes too high.The water pump is driven off the camshaft gear (H)

When the engine temperature is cold, below 82°C(180°F), the thermostat (R) is closed. The closed |thermostat stops coolant flow into the radiator(A). Nowthe water pump (J) must draw coolant from the bypasshose (O) which is between the cylinder head and thewater pump. An impeller (I) forces the low temperaturecoolant (U) through the cylinder block coolantpassages (N) to the piston coolant passage (L).Coolant flows around the piston coolant passage, andthen through the right cylinder head, intake manifold(M), and left cylinder head to the bypass hose. Theengine heat is transferred to the coolant and thecoolant temperature increases. Since the hightemperature coolant (T) bypasses the radiator, theengine warms up to operating temperature quickly.

When the engine temperature is 82°C (180°F), thethermostat begins to open and is fully open at 95°C(203°F). High temperature coolant from the left cylinderhead flows through the thermostat to the radiator. Theradiator is cooled by a radiator fan (E) that is mountedto the flywheel (G). The radiator fan pulls in air from thefront of the engine and forces the air upward throughthe radiator fins. The coolant temperature decreasesas the coolant flows from the radiator inlet to the outlet.With the thermostat open, the water pump draws lowtemperature coolant from the radiator through theradiator outlet hose (K) instead of the bypass hose.The low temperature coolant is circulated through theengine to provide constant cooling.

A coolant temperature switch (Q) mounted in the leftcylinder head turns on a warning light if coolanttemperature is above 111°C (232°F).

The radiator cap (B) maintains a constant pressure of88 kPa (13 psi) inside the radiator which actually raisesthe boiling point of the coolant. The radiator capcontains a pressure valve and a vacuum valve. Whenthe coolant is hot and pressure is above 88 kPa (13psi), the pressure valve opens allowing some coolant toflow to the overflow reservoir. After the engine isstopped, the coolant cools and the pressure inside theradiator decreases to a partial vacuum. The vacuumopens the vacuum valve and some coolant from theoverflow reservoir flows back to the radiator

TEST STARTER ARMATURE

IMPORTANT: Do not clean armature with solvent.Solvent can damage insulation on windings.Use only mineral spirits and a brush.

1. Locate short circuits by rotating armature on a growler while holding a hacksaw blade or steel stripon armature. The hacksaw blade will vibrate in areaof short circuit.

2. Shorts between bars are sometimes caused by dirt or copper between bars. Inspect for this condition.

3. If test indicates short circuited windings, clean the commutator of dust and fillings. Check armatureagain. If test still indicates short circuit, replacearmature.

4. Using an ohmmeter, test each individual armature windings for grounded or open circuits.

Armature windings are connected in parallel, so eachcommutator bar needs to be checked.

• If test either test fails, armature must be replaced

TEST STARTER SOLENOID

NOTE: If bench test indicated solenoid problems, usean ohmmeter or test light to check solenoid.

1. Test solenoid terminals for continuity. There should be no continuity.

2. Depress switch arm. There should be continuity when arm is fully depressed.

3. Test for open circuits between terminal and tab There should be continuity.

4. Test for open circuits between tabs and body. There should be continuity.

If solenoid fails any test, it is defective and must bereplaced.

When installing solenoid, hook switch arm over shiftfork, so that when solenoid is activated it will pull shiftfork in.

ALTITUDE COMPENSATION SWITCH CIRCUIT - OPTIONAL FD590D

Function:

The altitude compensation switch circuit allows the fuelinjection module computer to adjust the fuel-air mixturewhen the unit is operated above 1500 m (4918 ft.). Theunit must be operated above 1500m (4918 ft.) for thealtitude compensation switch to operate.

When the unit is operated below 1500m (4918 ft.), thealtitude compensation switch is closed and provides apath to ground to energize the circuit. When the unit isoperated above 1500m (4918 ft.), the altitudecompensation switch opens breaking the path toground which denergizes the circuit. This leans thefuel-air mixture for high altitude operation.

ANALYZE VALVES COMPONENT ANALYSIS

4/7/95 12 - 3

ANALYZE VALVESLead deposits on the intake valve are caused byexhaust gas leakage past the valve. This indicates thatthe valve is not seating properly.

Grind intake valve and reface the seat to correct thiscondition.

NOTE: Be sure to reset valve clearance after grinding valves.

Valve stem corrosion is caused by moisture in theengine. Moisture in the fuel-air-mixture can condenseinside the engine when the engine is stopped andcools down.

Valve corrosion can also occur during storage. Foggingor pouring oil in the combustion chamber beforestoring, helps prevent valve corrosion.

Corroded or pitted valves collect deposits and maycause sticking valves. Replace badly corroded or pittedvalves.

Exhaust valves are designed to function intemperatures exceeding 2760°C (5000°F). However,when operating at high temperatures for long periods oftime, valve burning may occur.

Valves running too hot will show a dark discoloration ofthe valve stem into the area protected by the valveguide. Another indication is distortion of the valvemargin and valve face. Valve inserts may also begin toburn away.

Lead Deposits

M5563

Valve StemCorrosion

IMPORTANT: Do not run the engine with blower housing removed.

Poor engine cooling due to dirt or obstructions is acommon cause for overheating an engine and thevalves. Remove blower housing and clean the enginecooling fins.

Other causes for valves running hot are worn valveguides or valve springs, incorrect valve clearance, leanfuel-air mixture and incorrect or overheated spark plug.

Using old or stale gasoline is a common cause forsticky valves.

This gummy deposit can be seen on the valve. Whenthis condition exists, the carburetor may also containgum deposits and will require a complete cleaning.

Always use fresh gasoline and drain fuel tank, lines,and carburetor before storing machine.

COMPONENT ANALYSIS ANALYZE PISTON RING WEAR

12 - 4 4/7/95

ANALYZE PISTON RING WEARRings of the wrong size or rings having improper endgap will not conform to the shape of the cylinder. Thisresults in high oil consumption and excessive blow-by.

Ring end gaps should be staggered on the pistonduring installation. End gaps in alignment can alsocause oil consumption and blow-by.

Light scuffing or scoring of both rings and piston occurswhen unusually high friction and combustiontemperatures approach the melting point of the pistonmaterial.

When this condition exists, it is due to one or more ofthe following probable causes:

• Dirty cooling shroud and cylinder head.• Lack of cylinder lubrication.• Improper combustion.• Wrong bearing or piston clearance.• Too much oil in crankcase causing fluid friction.

The engine operating at abnormally high temperaturesmay cause varnish, lacquer or carbon deposits to formin the piston grooves making the rings stick. When thishappens, excessive oil consumption and blow-by willoccur.

Engine overheating and ring sticking is usually causedby one or more of the following:

• Overloading• Incorrect ignition timing.• Lean fuel mixture.• Dirty cooling fins.• Incorrect oil.• Low oil supply.• Stale fuel.

M29943

Vertical scratches across the piston rings are due to anabrasive in the engine. Abrasives may be airborne,may have been left in the engine during overhaul ormay be loose lead and carbon deposits.

When this condition exists, check for one or more of thefollowing:

• Damaged, collapsed or improperly installed air filter.

• Loose connection or damaged gasket between air cleaner and carburetor.

• Air leak around carburetor-to-cylinder block gasket.• Air leakage around throttle shaft.• Failure to properly clean cylinder bore after

reconditioning engine.

Abrasive particles in engine oil causes scratches onside rails of oil control ring. Inner spacer wear ordistortion may cause:

• High oil consumption.• Increased deposits in combustion chamber.• Sticking compression rings.

Increased oil consumption may be caused by:

• Worn side rails with low tension.• Worn or distorted inner spacer.

ANALYZE PISTON RING WEAR COMPONENT ANALYSIS

4/7/95 12 - 5

ANALYZE PISTON WEARDetonation, is abnormal combustion causing excessivetemperature and pressure in the combustion chamber.Commonly called carbon knock, spark knock or timingknock, detonation occurs as the compressed fuel-airmixture ignites spontaneously to interrupt the normalignition.

The following is a list of possible causes for detonation:

• Lean fuel mixture.• Low octane fuel.• Advanced ignition timing.• Engine lugging.• Build-up of carbon deposits on piston or cylinder

head, causing excessive compression.• Wrong cylinder head or milling of head increasing

compression ratio.

Pre-ignition is the igniting of the fuel-air mixture prior toregular ignition spark. Pre-ignition causes internalshock, resulting in pings, vibration, detonation andpower loss. Severe damage to piston rings and valvesresults from pre-ignition.

Check the following for causes of pre-ignition:

• Internal carbon deposits.• Incorrect spark plug (high heat range).• Broken ceramic in spark plug.• Sharp edges on valves.

.

Check rod and piston alignment when piston shows adiagonal wear pattern extending across the skirt of thepiston. Contact with the cylinder wall shows on bottomof skirt at left and ring lands on the right.

A cylinder bored at an angle to the crankshaft can alsogive improper ring contact with cylinder causing:

• Rapid piston wear.• Uneven piston wear.• Excessive oil consumption.

A broken retaining ring caused the damage shown.Retaining rings loosen or break due to:

• Rod misalignment.• Excessive crankshaft end play.• Crankshaft journal taper.• Weak retaining rings.• Incorrectly installed retaining rings.

Inertia can cause a broken retaining ring to beat out thepiston and cylinder, causing extensive damage.

Lack of lubrication or improper lubrication can causethe connecting rod and cap to seize the crankshaft.

When the rod and cap seize to the crankshaft, theconnecting rod and piston may both break causingother internal damage. Inspect block carefully beforerebuilding engine.

Crankshaft and connecting rod damage can resultfrom:

• Engine run low on oil or without oil. • Oil not changed regularly. • Bearing cap installed incorrectly.
