ENGINE
COMPRESSION
TEST
To
check the engine's compression pressure, warm up the
engine, then shut it down.
1. Remove both spark plug caps and both spark plugs.
2. Install a compression adapter and gauge in a spark
plug hole.
3. Close the thru hull valve (seacock).
4. Crank the engine several times quickly so that the gauge
pointer reaches it's maximum.
STANDARD
COMPRESSION
PRESSURE
AT
5DD
RPM:
71
PSI
(5±

Kg/cm')
(D.4±
D.1
MPa)
5. Test the compression pressure on the other cylinder.
If
either cylinder is below the standard
try
adding a
small amount
of
engine oil through the spark plug hole
and repeat the test.
(a)
If
additional oil causes an increase
of
pressure,
the piston ring and/or cylinder may be worn
or
damaged.
(b)
If
additional oil does not increase compression
pressure suspect poor valve contact, valve seizure
or
valve wear.
6. Reinstall the two plugs, connect the wires and open the
thru hull valve (seacock).

BELT
To
remove, replace or adjust the belt, loosen the pivot bolt
and release the adjusting bolt. Slide the water pump bracket
to slacken the belt for removal. When replacing and
adjusting the belt, set the belt very tight and tighten the bolt

REMOTE
OIL
FILTER
(OPTIONAL)
INSTALLATION
This popular accessory is used to relocate the engine's oil
filter from the engine to a more convenient location such
as
an engine room bulkhead.
NOTE:
Refer to ENGINE OIL CHANGE in this manual
for
instructions on removing the oil filter.
A
CAUTION:
.It
is
vital
to
install
the
oil
lines
cor-
rectly.
If
the
oil
flows
in
the
reverse
direction,
the
by-
pass
valve
in
the
filter
assembly
will
prevent
the
oil
from
reaching
the
engine
causing
an
internal
engine
failure.
If
there'is
no
oil
pressure
reading,
shutdown
