Recommended Procedure1. Air in Fuel System ... With air in the fuel system, the engine will normally be difficult to start, run rough, and release a large amount of white smoke. If the engine will not start, loosen a fuel injection line nut at the cylinder head. With the governor lever in the shutoff position, operate the fuel priming pump until the flow of fuel from the loosened fuel injection line is free of air. Tighten the fuel line nut. Fasten the priming pump and start the engine. If the engine still does not run smooth or releases a large amount of white smoke, loosen the fuel line nuts one at a time at the cylinder head until the fuel that comes out is free of air. Tighten the fuel line nuts. If the air can not be removed in this way, put 5 psi (35 kPa) of air pressure to the fuel tank.
Do not use more than 8 psi (55 kPa) of air pressure in the fuel tank or damage to the tank may result.
Check for leaks at the connections between the fuel tank and the fuel transfer pump. If leaks are found, tighten the connections or replace the lines. If there are no visual leaks, remove the fuel supply line from the tank and connect it to an outside fuel supply. If this corrects the problem, the suction line (standpipe) inside the fuel tank has a leak.2. Valve Adjustment Not Correct ... Check and make necessary adjustments as per Testing and Adjusting section of this Service Manual. Intake valve clearance is .015 in. (0.38 mm) and exhaust valve clearance is .025 in. (0.64 mm). Also check for a bent or broken push rod.3. Fuel Injection Timing Not Correct ... Check and make necessary adjustments as per Testing and Adjusting section of this Service Manual.4. Automatic Timing Advance Does Not Operate Correctly ... Check with engine warm. Use the 1P3500 Timing Light Group. Special Instruction Form No. SMHS6964 gives the test procedure. If the timing light is not available, make rapid "acceleration" (increase in speed) from low idle to high idle. Engine must have smooth acceleration. A timing advance that does not operate correctly can cause delays of the engine acceleration at some rpm before high idle, or possibly cause the engine to run rough and have exhaust noise (backfire) during acceleration. This condition is difficult to find if engine acceleration is slow or at a constant engine rpm.5. Bad Fuel Nozzle(s) ... Find a bad nozzle by running engine at the rpm where it runs rough. Loosen the fuel line nut at the cylinder head enough to stop fuel supply to that cylinder. Each cylinder must be checked this way. If a cylinder is found where loosening of the nut makes no difference in the rough running, test the nozzle for that cylinder. To test a nozzle, remove the nozzle from the engine and test as per Testing and Adjusting section of this Service Manual.6.
