Note: Cam gear assembly functions as automatic decompression valve system.
Valve is slightly open to release the compressed air in Engine at the starting time, before moving fly weight
by centrifugal effects. It means the insufficient setting of Cam gear assembly will cause engine stall/ extreme
reaction force at engine running due to too much load by the compressed air.
(11) Remove Pin 5 that sets Rocker arm assembly in place on Cylinder head complete. (Fig. 54)
Use 1R308 to push out Pin 5.
The distinction of Rocker arm assembly and Push rods (for use of the exhaust system/ intake system) enables you
shortens the repair process (Gap adjustment between Rocker arms and Retainers is even difficult, however, you can
adjust it by using 1R366. Refer to Fig. 68.

Note: Be sure to apply Makita grease N No.2/ 4-cycle engine oil in accordance with [3] LUBRICANT APPLICATION.
(1) Connect Piston with Crankshaft complete by inserting Piston pin into place; there is no front/back to Piston.
(2) Secure Piston pin by mounting Ring spring 12 onto each end of Piston pin.
Note: The ring gap of Ring spring 12 can be positioned at any angle to Piston pin.
(3) Install Oil ring in the grooves of Piston; Side rail first, Spacer next, then the other Side rail.
Important: Be sure to fit the three rings with the ring gaps at 120 degrees to one another as shown in the left of Fig. 63.
(4) Install Second ring first then Top ring in the groove of Piston.
Important 1: Be sure to fit the two rings with the ring gaps at 180 degrees to each other as shown in the right of Fig. 63.
Important 2: Second ring has a taper face and must be installed with the large diameter facing Oil ring. (Fig. 64)
Distinguishing between Top ring and Second ring & Discriminating the larger diameter of Second ring:
If both of the two rings are new and unused,
•You can distinguish from their appearances; there is a red marking on the side face of Second ring as shown in
Fig. 65 while not on the side face of Top ring.
•You can face the large diameter of Second ring by placing Second ring with the red marking on your right and
with the ring gap near you as shown in Fig. 65.
If both of the two rings are used and the white marking of Second ring is rubbed off, carefully press the side face of
the two rings to the inner wall surface of Cylinder. You will be able to distinguish the two rings or to discriminate the
large diameter of Second ring through the differences in contact feelings that the different side faces make.
(4) Remove oil/grease from the mating surface of Cylinder block and Crankcase.
Then apply ThreeBond 1215 to the mating surface of Crankcase as shown in Fig. 66.
Note: ThreeBond 1215 must not be applied to Oil supply routes.
Apply 4-cycle engine oil to the cylinder portion of Cylinder block, and then while compressing Piston rings, mount
Cylinder block onto Crankcase.
(6) Tighten eleven Hexalobular socket head bolts in a crisscross pattern. (Refer to Fig. 58.)

CHECKING SPARK PLUG
(1) Remove Plug cap from Spark plug, then Spark plug from Cylinder head complete with the supplied socket wrench.
Note: If the electrodes of Spark plug are wet, wipe them with a rag then dry them with an air blower.
(2) Using a wire brush, carefully clean up carbon deposits (if any) from the electrodes and the ceramic insulator around
the center electrode.
(3) Adjust the electrode gap to 0.5mm by carefully bending the side electrode.
Use Feeler gauge set (1R366) to check the gap width:
between the center electrode and the side electrode, insert 0.5mm leaf
of Feeler gauge set. (Fig. 42)
(4) Install another Spark plug into spark plug hole to prevent air/fuel mixture
from leaking outside of engine.
(5) Connect the removed Spark plug with Plug cap, then ground the threads
of Spark plug to a proper metal part of the engine.
(6) With Stop switch on, pull Recoil starter knob gently and check for spark.
Note: It is hard to see the spark in a bright location.
Therefore, be sure to do the check in a shady but well-ventilated place.
(7) If spark is not produced, replace Spark plug with a new one,
then check for spark by following the procedure (1) to (6) once again.
WARNING !!
•When a spark is produced, high-voltage current is delivered from Ignition coil to Spark plug.
It is, therefore, very dangerous to pull Recoil starter knob with your hand on Ignition cable.
Be sure to keep your hands off from Ignition cable when checking for spark.
•Fuel is extremely flammable and fuel vapors are explosive.
Therefore, clean up spilled fuel before starting to check for spark.
Also, be careful not to do the check near Carburetor.
