  • Three basic series
  • Same basic design
  • The main difference between engines in the same
    series is the flywheel and module

Engine Features - Benefits
Electronic Ignition Capacitor Discharge Ignition
provides higher ignition voltage required for
easy, dependable starting with no maintenance.
Forged Steel Crankshaft Better strength/weight
ratio than cast iron which means stronger and
more durable.
Heavy Duty Crankshaft Ball Bearing Can withstand
higher loads and reduces wear caused by oil
contamination or low oil conditions.
RFI/EMI Shielded Plug Boot Shielded plug boot
with the resistor spark plug will dramatically
reduce the amount of unwanted electrical noise.
Mechanical Governor Provides precise control of
engine speed and responds 30 faster to sudden
load increases than traditional air vane designs.
Results in smoother, consistent, and trouble-free
cutting power.
Overhead Valve Design with Cross-flow Cylinder
Head More efficient, cleaner burning engine.
Results in more power and reduces fuel
consumption when compared to conventional
side-valve engines.
Dual Element Air Filter Foam pre-cleaner, pleated
paper filter with debris ejection slots provide
superior protection.
Cast Iron Cylinder Sleeve Automotive style piston
and rings riding in a cast iron sleeve cylinder
provides longer life while reducing bore wear and
oil consumption.

Troubleshooting and Failure Analysis
19
When troubleshooting an engine, Diagnose with
Eyes Open!
  • First, check the oil
  • What does this tell you?
  • Take a look at the air filter
  • What condition is it in?
  • Fuel
  • A big problem area.

20
  • Cleanliness
  • Good indicator of the level of care and type of
    use.
  • Signs of mouse nest?
  • Mud-packed / covered with wet grass?
  • Safety
  • Guards in place? Safety bail disabled?
  • Pull the rope
  • Pull too easily?Got compression?
  • Pull too hard?Crankshaft straight?Hydro-lock?
  • Jerks back?Flywheel key?Blade on tight?
  • Starter rope broken?Probably a reason.

21
Troubleshooting
  • Periodic maintenance will solve a lot of
    performance issues.
  • Check valve lash, oil, fuel, and all filters
    before troubleshooting.
  • NOTE Most jerky starts on the MTD engine are
    due to loose valve lash.
  • Inspect/replace the spark plug.

22
Troubleshooting
  • Ignition- sufficient spark to start combustion in
    the cylinder, occurring at the right time.
  • Compression- enough pressure in the cylinder to
    convert combustion into kinetic motion. It also
    needs sufficient sealing to generate the vacuum
    needed to draw in and atomize the next intake
    charge.
  • Fuel- correct type and grade of fresh gasoline
    in sufficient quantity, atomized (tiny droplets)
    and in correct fuel/air proportions.
  • Flow- if all of the above conditions are met, but
    the flow of air is constricted on the inlet or
    exhaust side it will cause the engine to run
    poorly or not at all. This also includes the
    ensuring the valves are timed to open at the
    proper time.

23
Troubleshooting
  • Isolate the fuel system first by performing a
    prime test.
  • Squirt clean, fresh fuel into the throat of the
    carburetor.
  • If the engine starts and burns the prime, the
    problem is in the fuel system.

24
Troubleshooting the fuel system
  • Drain and replace the fuel.
  • Check the drained fuel for
  • Dirt
  • Water
  • Is it stale?
  • Alcohol
  • Check fuel tank, lines and vents
  • Check the carburetor

25
Troubleshooting the Ignition System
  • Check for spark using a spark tester.
  • Never ground a sparkplug against the head! The
    fuel/air mix coming out of the spark plug hole
    can ignite.

26
  • If there is no spark
  • Check the blade brake switch.
  • Check the air gap of the module.
  • Check the ground on the module.
  • Check the flywheel key.
  • If every thing checks out OK, replace the module.

27
Troubleshooting Compression
  • If there is spark, check the spark plug again. If
    it is wet, the plug is bad. If it is dry, do a
    compression test.
  • Near zero compression is most likely a stuck
    valve or valve lash is to tight.
  • Low compression, look at the valve seats and
    piston rings.
  • High compression is most likely excessive valve
    lash, a block muffler or a partial hydro-lock.

28
Troubleshooting an Engine That is Hard to Pull
  • If the rope pulls out some then stops
  • Check for hydro-lock.
  • Make sure the blade is not binding.
  • With the plug removed turn the blade, If the
    blade turns look at the starter.
  • Check for debris trapped in the blade brake.
  • Open the engine.

29
Troubleshooting an Engine That is Hard to Pull
  • A jerky starter rope
  • Check the valve lash!!!
  • Check the flywheel for a sheared or missing key.
  • Check the ACR on the cam.
  • Check the cam timing.
