and if this sequence is followed, the lash for all
valves can be checked and adjusted in 2 complete
revolutions of the crankshaft. Check valve clear-
ance periodically. See f i g u r e s 3 - 4 8 a n d 3 - 4 9 and
proceed as follows to obtain specified clearance

160 F mmlmum is reached. Stop the engine.
-Q. Thoroughly clean cylinder head cover and
surrounding area.

Q. Using 1-1/2 inch socket wrench on crank-
shaft pulley nut, bar over engine until exhaust
valve for number 6 cylinder ( f i g . 3 - 4 9 ) is almost
closed and intake valve starts to open, then check
and adjust intake and exhaust valve lash for number
1 cylinder.
e. Using a O. 015 inch feeler gauge
( 4 ,

ch;ck clearance between valve stems and rocker
arms (2). Gauge should pass between rocker arm
and corresponding valve stem with a slight drag
when valve lash is properly adjusted.

Cold clearance between valve
stems and rocker arms (2) is
O. 018 inch and hot clearance is
O. 015 inch as described in
p a r a g r a p h 3 - 2 2 0 above.
J. Adjust each valve by turning adjusting screw (1)
clockwise to decrease clearance or counterclockwise
to increase clearance as necessary.
E. Using 1-1/2 inch socket wrench on crankshaft
pulley nut, bar over engine until number 2 cylinder
exhaust valve ( f i g . 3 - 4 9 ) is almost closed and intake
valve starts to open, then adjust lash for intake and
exhaust valves for number 5 cylinder, following
procedure in paragraphs e and ~ above.
~. Using 1 -1,/2 inch socket wrench on crankshaft

The base group consists of a rigid frame skid base,
fuel tank, and related components. The fuel tank
is recess mounted in the skid base. The engine
and generator are mounted upon the skid base
assembly.
Procedures in this section include
inspection of the skid-base, testing and replacement
of the fuel quantity transmitter, and replacement
of the fuel tank and replacement of related compon -
ents illustrated in f i g u r e s 3 - 5 0 a n d 3 - 5 1 .

See f i g u r e 3 - 5 0 and proceed as follows:
a. Inspec & the skid base assembly for rust,
cor~osion, breaks, loose hardware, and other
damage.
~. Verify that the oil drain plug (10) and hose
between skid base and engine is not leaking.

Removal.
Disconnect
electrical
connector
andsee f i g u r e 3 - 5 0 to remove the transmitter (3).
~.
Testing.
Proceed as follows:
(1) Connect multimeter between case of trans -
mitter (3) and the transmitter connector pin as
shown in
3 - 5 2 . With sensing arm of transmitter in
lowered position (A), multimeter shall read between
O. 00 and O. 90 ohms and with sensing arm of trans -
mitt er in raised position (B), multimet er shall read
between 29.8 and 31.3 ohms. Disconnect multimeter.
(2) Submerge transmitter ( 3 , f i g u r e 3 - 5 0 ) in
about 12 inches of water heated to not less than 200°F.
Float tank of transmitter must withstand air pressure
of 6 PSI without leaking. Bubbles of air will be
observed if float tank leaks.
Replace fuel quantity
transmitter if it fails test (see f i g . 3 - 5 2 ) .
