TROUBLESHOOTING

ROCKER ARM CLEARANCE

The rocker arm clearance may need adjustment if your unit suffers a loss of performance power or has trouble starting. Adjusting the rocker arm clearance requires disassembly of the engine. If you feel unsure or unqualified to perform this, take the unit to a Sears or other qualified service dealer.

NOTE: Inspect the valve to rocker arm clearance with a feeler gauge after the first 10 hours of operation and then every 25 hours of operation thereafter.

The engine must be cold when checking or adjusting the valve clearance.

This task should be performed inside, in a clean, dust free area.

To adjust the rocker arm clearance:

1.Remove the two (2) screws on top of the engine cover with a Flat-head or T-25 Torx screwdriver (Fig. 25).
