Exhaust gas from each cylinder flows directly into the exhaust manifold to obtain a compact designA two-piece balancer is used in the crankcase to reduce the secondary forces of inertia produced byThe balancer shaft 1 is driven by the gear on the crankshaft. The balancer shaft 2 is driven by the gear on the balancer shaft 1. The two counterrotating balancer shafts rotate at twice the speed of the crankshaft and reduce theTherefore, engine vibration is reduced.Piston and piston ring. A forged piston has been adopted for durability. Hard chromium plating is applied to the piston rings. The top and 2nd piston rings differ and are identified by a mark on each ring.

He went back down the steps and turned left and started along the plaster wall. Set in motion by the faces on the flickering screen. He could do the same with Becker anytime. It was more important now, he thought, to discover what Becker was up to.In a circle of open ground among the tents, a large crowd had gathered around a makeshift stage. A tall cross towered over it, high enough to crucify a man, and there, in its shadow, stood Peter Bartholomew. Scollard is returning to his home in Brooklyn. I got kind of interested in eternalogy once.A boiler-room diet of junk food was slyly putting pounds on her slender figure.He was a blur of motion, impossibly swift.She had been the waving door gunner. We all find a way of coping, Number Five. He chuckled through a tight, closed mouth.Maybe your macho brainlobe is heating up. The rifle resting on his lap shifted with him, its barrel turned now toward where Budge stood, leaning against the table.The heartbeat of the very world. When did MHI start hiring gorillas. It was the clipped, precise sound of Charley Delo. They tell me what to do, and I do it.There was a billowing cloud of that same white smoke as the giant toppled over and thudded to the earth.She nodded yes, unable to say the treacherous word. My orders are to shut this church down, no matter what. Franks leaned forward, flipped through the stack, and pulled out a glossy crime-scene photo.What more to it was there than that. Turning to Somervile, he smiled grimly. Monk Markham, where are we lurking. Like it or not, for as long as Gerald was off janitoring in Splotze, he and Reg were stuck with each other.Atop it, looming over the river valley, I could see the peaks of fantastic mountains unlike any I had ever seen. Maybe that worked in their favor. That distance gave them a more objective viewpoint. Hudson and Byrne were helping them onto the aircraft ahead of us. I was supporting the still-limping Tailor.Her parting instructions had been for me to meet at the location listed at a certain time and date. She had told me that food and lodging would be provided, but she had not given me any other details. Crawling around on a smelly rug, searching for some mysterious clue toto what. Because he was already inclined to think that way, he admitted to himself Because too many things about McNeil troubled him. Withdrawn, unsociable, and he had what looked like burns on his wrists.At Ramsgate, when he first made his offer, I was unsure. Though I did not doubt my present feelings, I thought that they might change. Goodtooth Clinic in Sunnysea Beach, Florida, where she lives with her Siamese cat, Samson.Helen had never seen that side of Blossom, and she examined a carousel of gaudy evening dresses. His body, or what was left after the sharks were through with it, drifted onto the beach three days later. Only Leonard Hudson and Gunnar Eriksen remain outside the net. An old buddy in the Marine Corps has the honors.For generations the factions had steered events to this place, this intersection in time, for the great unsealing. I will use him, then I will destroy him. With no really remarkable features, he was not a memorable-looking guy, but emanated an old-school toughness when he strutted into the room, an attitude like a Bogart or a Cagney from the golden age of movies. A cigarette hung lazily from the corner of his mouth in clear violation of hospital rules. In Ottosland only socially inferior theatrical ladies and those fallen girls who regrettably sold their-their-charms-to unscrupulous gentlemen put paint and powder on their faces. A respectable girl who-who-what did they call it. A respectable girl like Bibbie who tarted herself up would be subjected to the most astringent criticisms.It was said that Little Peter was the only man allowed to pass their borders. A grateful nation will forever be in your debt. Do you believe he is paying attentions to another woman. But I rather fear that other women may begin to pay attentions to Mr Lomax.

Mount points to magneto plate or cylinder with lock screw. Fasten the armature lead wire to the breaker points with the clip and screw. If these lead wires do not have terminals, the bare end of the wires can be inserted into the clip and screw tightened to make a good connection. Do not let the ends of the wire touch the point bracket or magneto plate or ignition will be grounded. Plungers must be inserted with groove at the top when installed or oil will enter breaker box. See Fig. 17. Checking Plunger Adjusting Breaker Point Gap Turn crankshaft until points open to widest gap. Breaker points as shown in Fig. 14 are installed by placing the mounting post of the breaker arm into the recess in the cylinder so that the groove in the post fits the notch in the recess. Tighten the mounting screw securely. Slip the open loop of breaker arm spring through the two holes in the arm, then hook closed loop of spring over the small post protruding from the cylinder. Push flat end of the breaker arm into the groove in the mounting post. This places tension on the spring and pulls arms against the plunger. If condenser post is threaded, attach the coil primary wire (and ground wire if furnished) with the lockwasher and nut. If primary wire is fastened to condenser with spring fastener, compress spring. Fig. 18, and slip primary wire (and ground wire where furnished) into hole in condenser post. Release spring. Lay the condenser in place and tighten the condenser clamp securely. Fig. 19 - Adjusting Breaker Point Gap Fig. 20 - Adjusting Breaker Point Gap Fig. 18 - Assembling Condenser and Ignition Wires 6 2 TM 5-4240-501-14P IGNITION FLYWHEEL TYPE—INTERNAL BREAKER NOTE: Always clean breaker points after adjustment. Open the points and insert a piece of lintless paper. Draw the paper through the points. Open points when removing paper so it will not tear, leaving paper between the points. Adjust Armature Air Gap Three styles of armatures have been used (Fig. 23, Illus. 1, 2 and 3). Set air gap between the flywheel and armature as shown in Table 1. With armature up as far as possible, and one screw tightened, slip the proper gauge between armature and flywheel. Fig. 24. Turn flywheel - until magnets are directly below the armature. Loosen the one mounting screw and the magnets should pull the armature down firmly against the thickness gauge. Then tighten the mounting screws. Breaker Point Cover The breaker point cover, Fig. 21, protects the points from dirt. Cover should not be distorted so as to lose its seal around the outer edge. Replace if damaged. NOTE: Engines used for winter applications use vented breaker covers. See Engine Parts List. Fig. 23 - Armature Style Variations Fig. 21 - Breaker Point Cover Install Armature Install governor blade and armature, Fig. 22. The mounting holes in the armature laminations are slotted. Push armature up as far as possible and tighten one mounting screw to hold armature in place. Fig. 24 - Adjusting Armature Air Gap FLYWHEEL KEY Inspect key for partial shearing. If sheared, replace. Check flywheel and crankshaft keyways for damage. If damaged, replace with new parts. Insert zinc key into keyway. Slip spring washer over crankshaft with hollow side toward flywheel. To tighten flywheel nut or starter clutch, reverse removal operation. The sealer prevents oil from leaking into the breaker point area. Replace Breaker Points Model Series 193000, 200000, 230000, 243000, 300000, 320000, 19D, 23D Mount the breaker point assembly, then tighten adjustment screw until the locknut has pushed the ferrule as far as possible toward the head of the adjustment screw. This secures the adjustment screw firmly to the breaker point. Turn crankshaft until points open to widest gap. This makes it easier to assemble and adjust points later if crankshaft is not removed. Remove condenser and upper and lower mounting screws. Loosen lock nut and back off breaker point screw. Fig. 26. Reverse process to install. Adjust and Clean Breaker Points Turn the crankshaft until the points open to their widest gap. Insert a piece of lintless paper and draw the paper between the points.
