AUDITED STANDARDS

2-Stroke & 4-Stroke Protocols

Peer-reviewed operational procedures executed by certified field specialists.

METERING PROTOCOL

Walbro Diaphragm Lever Height Calibration

Setting exact fuel inlet needle pop-off geometry using feeler gauge.

  • 01. Place Walbro W-gauge flat across machined aluminum carburetor body surface.
  • 02. Adjust stamped brass metering lever fork until it touches feeler gauge flush.
  • 03. Verify zero friction in hinge pin to prevent needle sticking and cylinder flooding.
COMPRESSION AUDIT

Dynamic PSI Cold/Warm Cylinder Test

Distinguishing worn piston rings from scored cylinder chrome plating.

  • 01. Thread 14mm brass compression gauge hose into dry spark plug bore.
  • 02. Hold throttle wide open (WOT); pull recoil starter briskly 5 consecutive times.
  • 03. Acceptable reading: >120 PSI. If below 95 PSI, inspect piston skirt through exhaust port.
IGNITION PROTOCOL

Magneto Air Gap Business Card Rule

Positioning flywheel magnets relative to ignition coil armature poles.

  • 01. Rotate flywheel until permanent rare-earth magnets align directly with coil poles.
  • 02. Insert standard 0.010-inch non-magnetic card between flywheel and armature poles.
  • 03. Tighten coil mounting screws to 25 in-lbs; rotate flywheel to slide card out.
