[Bold] numbers in the descriptions below correspond to item numbers in the Parts List and exploded
assembly diagram for the Models CS 51EAP and CS 51EA.
Always stop the engine prior to disassembly or when replacing the saw chain.
1. Checking the spark of the spark plug
CAUTION:
Ɣ Be careful not to touch the metallic portion of the Spark Plug
[46] when pulling the starter handle; otherwise, you run the
risk of electric shock.
Ɣ Carefully wipe off any fuel around the plug to avoid a
sudden flash of fire.
(1) Remove the Spark Plug [46] from the Cylinder [73].
Use a wire brush to clean off carbon deposits on the Spark
Plug [46] electrodes, as needed. Adjust the gap between the
electrodes if necessary. Use a cloth to wipe off any fuel on
the electrodes. Remove fuel left in the Engine Case (A)
Ass’y [87] and Engine Case (B) Ass’y [80] by following the
procedure below.
(a) With the Spark Plug [46] removed from the Cylinder [73]:
(b) Open the Choke Button [93] (by pushing it in), and then
set the Stop Switch [95] to the stop position.
(c) Open the throttle (by pulling the Throttle Lever [149]).
(d) Pull the starter handle several times.
(2) Insert the Spark Plug [46] into the Plug Cap [162], and then
place the electrodes in contact with the metallic portion of
the engine. Under these conditions, set the Stop Switch [95]
to the startup position and pull the starter handle.
(3) When all the above are normal, the Spark Plug [46]
electrodes make a snapping sound to generate sparks.
2. Adjustment of the carburetor
(1) Use the Idle Adjust Screw [63] to adjust the carburetor.
Ɣ Idle Adjust Screw [63]
Use this screw to adjust revolutions at idling. Turning the
screw clockwise increases engine revolutions; turning it
counterclockwise decreases engine revolutions.
(2) Standard setting of the carburetor
Ɣ 3,000 ± 200 min
-1
(rev./min)
(3) Fine adjustment
Ɣ Idling adjustment
(a) Use the Idle Adjust Screw [63] to set revolutions so that
the Saw Chain [115] does not start rotating while the
engine runs stably.
(b) Set idling revolutions to 2,800 to 3,200 min
-1
(rev./min) by using the Idle Adjust Screw [63].
(Adjust to approx. 3,000 min
-1
(rev./min).)
Adjust the idling revolutions after the engine is fully warmed up.
(Tip on warm-up: Let the engine idle for one minute with the engine in half-throttled status.)
