Inspection (Cont’d)
REGULATOR VALVE CLEARANCE
• Measure inner diameter of regulator valve cylinder using an
inside micrometer.
• Measure regulator valve outer diameter using a micrometer.
(Clearance) = (Cylinder bore inner diameter) – (Valve outer
diameter)
Standard:
0.040 - 0.097 mm (0.0016 - 0.0038 in.)
CAUTION:
• Apply engine oil to regulator valve. Make sure that the
LUM0007
valve moves smoothly.

REGULATOR VALVE SPRING

• Check spring for sagging.
Free length:
Approx. 63 mm (2.48 in.)
