FOREWORD
This overhaul manual has been written
to aid the mechanic in the disassembly
and assembly of the main components of
the specific truck that this manual
includes. Every improvement has been
made to help the mechanic to discharge
his duties in a safe and practical
procedure.
This manual has been written in groups
and sections with a table of contents
for easy reference.
Each section includes many photographs
and drawings to directly show how to
do these operations.
The mechanic is told to always use
Genuine Clark Parts when replacements
are needed. "Look alike" parts from
other supplies never work as well
as the original parts.
Specifications and notes on safety
have been included as needed for each
step to be done. The mechanic is
told to use safety and accuracy in his
work because we cannot control his
work and procedures.
If the mechanic does not understand the
right procedure in the maintenance of
this truck, he is told to see his
immediate supervisor instead of risking
injury of personnel.
Approved methods of service and correct
procedures of repair are important for
the safe operation of all trucks as
well as the safety of personnel and the
mechanic doing the work. This manual
gives directions for service and
repairs with procedures that are
tested.
There are many different procedures,
tools, and parts for servicing
vehicles, as well as in the ability
of the mechanic doing the work. This
manual cannot be written for all such
variations. Any mechanic who works
differently from this manual must first
make sure that he works safely and
accurately.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
ENGINE WILL NOT CRANK The cause of the trouble is usually in the starting system.
If the trouble is not in the starting system, check for
hydrostatic lock or a seized engine, as follows:
Remove the spark plugs, and attempt to crank the engine
with the starter. If coolant is ejected from the openings
it indicates that water is leaking into the cylinders.
Remove the cylinder head and inspect the gasket and head
for cracks. Examine the cylinder block for cracks.
ENGINE CRANKS Check the fuel supply. If there is sufficient fuel in the
NORMALLY, BUT WILL tank, the cause of the trouble probably lies in either the
NOT START ignition or the fuel system.
To determine which system is at fault, perform the
following test:
Disconnect a spark plug wire, check the spark intensity
at the end of the wire by installing a terminal adaptor
in end of the wire. Then, hold adaptor approximately 3116
inch from the cylinder block and crank the engine.
IF THERE IS NO SPARK OR A WEAK SPARK AT THE SPARK PLUGS
The cause of the trouble is in the ignition system.
Disconnect starter relay leads ... install an auxiliary
starter switch between the battery and the starter relay.
To determine if the cause of the trouble is in the primary
or the secondary circuit, remove coil high tension lead
from the top of the distributor, and hold it approximately
3/16 inch from the cylinder head. With the ignition on,
$
crank the engine and check for a spark.
%
0
If the spark at the high tension lead is good, the cause
0
of the trouble is probably in the distributor cap, rotor
or spark plug wires.
If there is no spark or a weak spark at the coil high
tension lead, the cause of the trouble is probably in the
primary circuit, coil to high tension lead, or the coil.
IF THERE IS A GOOD SPARK AT THE SPARK PLUGS
Check the spark plugs. If the spark plugs are not at
fault, check the following items:

CMRK
GR&up
TROUBLE SHOOTING
CHOKE
Check the choke linkage for binding or damage. Make
certain the choke plate closes when the choke knob is
pulled out and that the plate opens when the knob is
pushed in.
FUEL SUPPLY AT CARBURETOR
Disconnect carburetor fuel inlet line at the carburetor.
Use a suitable container to catch the fuel. Crank the
engine to see if fuel is reaching the carburetor.
If fuel is not reaching the carburetor, check: The fuel
pump,
the fuel filter, the carburetor fuel inlet line for
obstructions; the fuel pump inlet line for a collapsed
condition; the fuel tank line for obstructions; the fuel
tank vent.
If fuel is reaching the carburetor, check: The fuel inlet
system including fuel inlet screen, fuel inlet needle and
seat assembly and the float assembly.
ENGINE
Mechanical failure in the camshaft drive.
ENGINE STARTS BUT
FAILS TO KEEP
RUNNING
FUEL SYSTEM
Idle fuel needle not properly adjusted, engine idle speed
set too low; float setting incorrect; float inlet system
not operating properly; dirt or water in the carburetor
fuel lines or in the fuel filter; defective fuel pump.
Check for dirt in the carburetor, not allowing fuel to
enter or to be discharged from the idle system.
IGNITION SYSTEM
Defective spark plugs, breaker points not properly
adjusted.
ENGINE RUNS, BUT
MISSES
Determine if the miss is steady or erratic and at what RPM
the miss occurs by operating the engine at various RPM(s)
under load.

INDUSTRIAL TRUCK DIVISION
CUSTOMER SERVICES GROUP
TROUBLE SHOOTING
MISSES STEADILY AT ALL SPEEDS
Isolate the miss by operating the engine with one cylinder
not firing. This is done by operating the engine with
the ignition wire removed from one spark plug at a time
until all cylinders have been checked. Ground the spark
plug wire removed.
If the engine RPM changes when a particular cylinder is
shorted out, that cylinder was delivering power before
being shorted out. If no change in the engine operation
is evident, the miss was caused by that cylinder not
delivering power before being shorted out. In this case
check the:
IGNITION SYSTEM
If the miss is isolated in a particular cylinder, perform
a spark test on the ignition lead of the cylinder. If a
good spark does not occur, the trouble is in the secondary
circuit of the system. Check the spark plug wire, and the
distributor cap. If a good spark occurs, check the spark
plug.
If the spark plug is not at fault, a mechanical
component of the engine is probably at fault.
ENGINE
Intake manifold leak (vacuum). Perform a manifold vacuum
or a compression test to determine which mechanical
component of the engine is at fault.
MISSES ERRATICALLY AT ALL SPEEDS
EXHAUST SYSTEM
Exhaust system restricted.
IGNITION SYSTEM
Breaker points not properly adjusted.
Defective breaker points, condenser, secondary wiring,
coil or spark plug.
High tension leakage across the coil, rotor or distributor
cap.
Defective ignition switch.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
FUEL SYSTEM
Float setting incorrect.
Fuel inlet system not operating properly.
Dirt or water in the fuel lines or carburetor.
Restricted fuel filter.
COOLING SYSTEM
Check the cooling system for internal leakage and/or for
a condition that prevents the engine from reaching normal
operating temperature.
ENGINE
Damaged cylinder head gasket.
Perform a compression or manifold vacuum test to determine
which mechanical component of the engine is at fault.
MISSES AT IDLE ONLY
FUEL SYSTEM
Idle fuel mixture needle not properly adjusted.
Restriction in idle fuel system.
IGNITION SYSTEM
Excessive play in distributor shaft.
Worn distributor cam.
Defective coil, rotor, condenser, breaker points, ignition
wiring or spark plugs.
ENGINE
Valve clearance (engines with mechanical lifters) or valve
adjustment (engines with hydraulic valve lifters) set too
tight. Worn camshaft lobe.
Perform a compression test to determine which mechanical
component of the engine is at fault.
