None Like It HoT
I

When your engine is battling sum-
merTe heat fom the outside, it doesn't
need another blast oF hot air going
inside.
±hat's just what it gets, tho, iF you
leave the air intake shutter in the
WIN±ER position.
In that s²tting, hot air is dra³n
directly fom the exhaust ma´µld to
the air intake ¶ter. It's then passed on
to th² carburetor.
±his extra heat in the sumMer can
break Do³n
a
·lter. ±hese pieces can
be drawn into the carburetor, causing
all kinds oF problems¸ ±he heat can
even set the ¶ter on ¹re.
You ke²p things cool, tho, by
switching the shutter to SUººER
44
when temps cl»mb past 32° ¼¸ ½our
engine doesn't need the extra h²at then.
Use SUMMER
seting when
Temps are
above
32°
F
'W!ER
It also pays to inspect th² air cleaner
fequently
¾
to make sure it's clean and
in good shape¿
Your org shop can clean it by
blowing a lowÀpressure (30 PSI) jet oF
air fom th² clean side through to the
dirÁ side.
IF Âlters, NSN 2940ÃÄ876Å2212,
are in short supply, ke²p dirÁ ones on
the job by washing them in mild soap
and water to extend their liÆ. ºake
sure
Ç
you dry them thoroughLy beÈre
you put them back in, tho.
Never run an engine without a ¹lter.
Éust or dirt in your engine is more
trouble than a dirÁ ·lter.
