NOTICE TO USERS OF THIS MANUAL
Throughout this publication, Dangers, Warnings and Cautions (accompanied by the International HAZARD Sym-
bol ) are used to alert the mechanic to special instructions concerning a particular service or operation that
may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. OBSERVE THEM CAREFULLY!
These safety alerts alone cannot eliminate the hazards that they signal. Strict compliance to these special instruc-
tions when performing the service, plus common sense operation, are major accident prevention measures.
DANGER
DANGER—indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING
WARNING—indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or se-
rious injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION—indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or modera-
te injury or property damage. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
This manual has been written and published by the Service Department of VM Motori to aid our dealers’ mechani-
cs and company service personnel when servicing the products described herein. We reserve the right to make
changes to this manual at any time and without prior notice in accordance with the Company’s policy of
constant product improvement.

shown, described or referred to herein should be regarded as an infallible guide to the procedures, mate-

INTRODUCTION
It is assumed that these personnel are familiar with industrial product servicing procedures.
Furthermore, it is assumed that they have been trained in the recommended service
procedures of VM Motori Products, including the use of mechanics’ common hand tools and the special VM Motori
or recommended tools from other suppliers.
We could not possibly know of and advise the industrial trade of all conceivable procedures and of the possible
hazards and/or results of each method. Therefore, anyone who uses a service procedure and/or tool, which is not
recommended by the manufacturer, first must completely satisfy himself that neither his nor the products safety
will be endangered.
All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the
latest product information available at the time of publication. As required, revisions to this manual will be sent to
all dealers contracted by us to service these products.
Refer to dealer service bulletins, warranty, owner manuals and installation manuals for other pertinent information
concerning the products described in this manual.

7 Introduction
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Use of parts other than the recommended service re-
placement parts, will avoid the warranty on those parts
that are damaged as a result.
WARNING
When servicing the electrical, ignition and fuel sy-
stems, it is extremely important that all
components are properly installed and tightened. If
not, any electrical or ignition
component opening would permit sparks to ignite fuel
vapors from fuel system leaks, if
they existed.
CLEANLINESS AND CARE OF PRO-
DUCT
A VM Motori Product is a combination of many machi-
ned, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with tole-
rances that are measured in the thousands of a mm.
When any product component is serviced, care and
cleanliness are important.
Throughout this manual, it should be understood that
proper cleaning and protection of
machined surfaces and friction areas is a part of the
repair procedure. This is considered standard shop
practice even if not specifically stated.
Whenever components are removed for service, they
should be retained in order. At the
time of installation, they should be installed in the
same locations and with the same mating surfaces as
when removed.
Any time the intake or exhaust openings are expo-
sed during service they should be covered to protect
against accidental entrance of foreign material which
could enter the cylinders and cause extensive internal
damage when the engine is started.
It is important to note, during any maintenance proce-
dure replacement fasteners must have the same mea-
surements and strength as those removed. Numbers
on the heads of the metric bolts and on the surfaces of
metric nuts indicate their strength. American bolts use
radial lines for this purpose, while most American nuts
do not have strength markings.
Mismatched or incorrect fasteners can result in dama-
ge or malfunction, or possibly personal injury. There-
fore, fasteners removed should be saved for reuse
in the same locations whenever possible. Where the
fasteners are not satisfactory for reuse, care should be
taken to select a replacement that matches the origi-
nal.
Personnel should not work on or under an engine that
is suspended. Engines should be attached to work
stands, or lowered to ground as soon as possible.

9 Introduction
It should be kept in mind, while working on the product,
that the electrical systems are capable of violent and
damaging short circuits or severe electrical shocks.
When performing any work where electrical terminals
could possibly be grounded or touched by the mecha-
nic, the battery cables should be disconnected at the
battery.
Before working on the electrical system, disconnect
the (–) battery cable to prevent short circuits.
CAUTION
Make sure the starter switch and lighting switches are
OFF before disconnecting or connecting battery cable.
Semiconductor components may otherwise be dama-
ged.
When separating connectors, grasp the connectors
themselves rather than the harnesses.To separate
locking connectors, first push them in the direction of
the arrows. To reconnect locking connectors, push
them together until they click.
Before washing the engine, cover electrical parts to
keep them dry. (Use plastic sheets or the like.) Keep
water away from harness connectors and sensors and
immediately wipe off any water that gets on them.
When applying a voltage to a part for inspection pur-
poses, check that the (+) and (–) cables are connected
properly then gradually increase the voltage from zero.
Do not exceed the specified voltage.
Remember that control units and sensors do not ne-
cessarily operate on the battery voltage.
CAUTION

0 Introduction
• Do not pierce wire insulation with test probes or
alligator clips when performing electrical inspections.
Doing so can, particularly with the chassis harness,
hasten corrosion.
INSPECTION OF HARNESSES
INSPECTIONS WITH CONNECTORS FITTED TO-
GETHER
Waterproof connectors
• Connect an inspection harness and connector A
between the connectors B of the circuit to be ins-
pected. Perform the inspection by applying a test
probe C to the connectors of the inspection harness.
Do not insert the test probe C into the wire-entry sides
of the waterproof connectors since this would damage
their waterproof seals and lead to rust.
Non-waterproof connectors
Perform the inspection by inserting a test probe C into
the wireentry sides of the connectors. An extra-narrow
probe is required for control unit connectors, which are
smaller than other types of connector. Do not force a
regular-size probe into control unit connectors since
this would cause damage.
INSPECTIONS WITH CONNECTORS SEPARATED
Inspections on female terminals
Perform the inspection by carefully inserting a test pro-
be into the terminals. Do not force the test probe into
the terminals since this could deform them and cause
poor connections.
Inspections on male terminals
Perform the inspection by applying test probes directly
to the pins.
CAUTION .
• Be careful not to short-circuit pins together with the
test probes. With control unit connectors, short-cir-
cuiting of pins can cause damage to the control unit’s
internal circuitry.
When using a multimeter to check continuity, do not
