1. Clutch

1.1 Carrier / clutch shoes

Modified carriers and shoes will be installed in

machines from the numbers specified in the
summary. This will help further optimize clutch

performance.
Only the complete clutch will be
supplied as a spare so that this modification will

have no effect on either exchangeability or the
supply of replacement parts.
The modified clutch can be identified by two dots

on each clutch shoe (see "B" in illustration under
1.2 Wrench).
The wrench 4133 893 1300, available as a special

tool, can no longer be used for the modified clutch
carrier. The new wrench 4133 893 1301 is required
to install the modified clutch (see 1.2 Wrench).

The existing wrench 4133 893 1300 (1) has been
replaced by the new version 4133 893 1301 (2) in
connection with a change in the shape of the clutch
carrier (see 1.1).

The two wrenches are not completely interchange-
able. The new wrench can be used for all versions
of the clutch. The present wrench can only be used
on the original clutch.

                                                                   1                      2

1.3 Clutch shoes with linings

In order to further enhance operational reliability
model FS 76 from machine No. X 26 768 543 will
be equipped with clutch shoes with linings. Clutch
shoes without linings will continue to be installed in
models FS 72 and 74.

Previously, only complete clutches, not individual
clutch shoes, have been supplied as replace-
ments. Therefore, the new version of the clutch
(shoes with linings) will be supplied as a replace-
ment for all models in future.

                                                              Left: Original clutch

The shape of the spring hooks has been modified               Right: New clutch
so that the springs can be used for both original
and new versions of the clutch shoes. For this

reason the part number has not been changed.

2. Fuel filler cap, clip on pickup body

2.1 Fuel filler cap

A new fuel filler cap will be installed from the
machine numbers mentioned in the summary.
A vent hole in the new fuel filler cap is designed to
ensure effective equalization of pressure in the
tank. In the previous version the clearance
between the threads of the filler cap and tank filler
neck was used to allow air to flow in and out of the
tank and allow fuel vapor to escape.

The new, modified fuel filler cap can be identified

by the molded "MIX" symbol and the vent hole
(see ill.). The abbreviation "HDPE" below the
symbol serves to inentify the type of plastic for

recycling purposes.

The original and new versions of the filler cap and

vent insert can only be exchanged as assemblies.
The retainer 4116 350 0900 can be used for both           Left: Original fuel filler cap
fuel filler caps.                                         Right: New fuel filler cap
Note
It is important to ensure that the gasket
4126 350 0502 (4) is installed as shown in the

illustration, i.e. below the tank vent (2).
The illustration in the parts list, issue 1992-11,
shows the gasket in the wrong position.

Service note

Correct operation of the carburetor is possible only
if internal fuel tank pressure and atmospheric

pressure are kept equal at all times (see TI 2.90).
Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the vent

hole in the new fuel filler cap (see arrow) is always
kept clear.                                                2.1                         2.2

(looking at carrier). Torsion spring 0000 998 0612
has been installed since the start of production of

6. Thrust washers for connecting rod

The two original thrust washers 4133 036 8900
(see arrows) between the piston and small end will
be replaced by the new versions 4133 036 8901
from machine number X 24 736 885. The new and
original versions of the thrust washers are not
interchangeable (see service note).

Service note
The original and new versions of the thrust washers
may only be replaced in sets. In the case of

servicing work in the area of the big end, replace

the original thrust washers with the new version
4133 036 8901.

8. Gearhead (FS 74, 76)

8.1 Screw plug

The original screw plug 4117 713 6501 (1) will be
replaced by the new version 4119 713 6500 (2)
from machine number X 24 993 106. The new
screw plug has a 13 mm hexagon head (approx.
1/2" across flats) in addition to the "Torx" spline
socket.
                                                          1            2
This helps simplify the task of releasing a very tight
screw plug.

8.2 Ball bearing

In the foreseeable future a new ball bearing
9503 003 5190 will be supplied as a spare to
replace the original version 9503 003 5140 (3) on

the output end of the shaft. The original version of
the ball bearing 9503 003 5140 will continue to be
installed on the production line.

The ball bearing installed on the production line
has one sealing washer. The new version for
replacement purposes has sealing washers on
both sides. The advantage is that it can be

installed either way round.

Remarks
1) Part also included in bike handle kit 4133 007 1010 which willl be supplied in unmodified form until

   existing factory stocks have been exhausted.
2) Original version of part will be supplied from factory only as long as existing stocks last.
3) New version of part is not available as separate item
10. Control handle: (machines with loop handle)

A modified throttle trigger interlock lever (7) and
throttle trigger (6), inner handle molding (3, 4) and an
additional torsion spring (5) will be installed from the

machine numbers mentioned in the summary.
As there are considerable restrictions on the

interchangeability of the new and original parts in the
original and modified control handle, the modified
parts have been given new part numbers.

With the exception of the torsion spring, the new parts
can be used in the original control handle.

The torsion spring can only be installed in the original
control handle together with the new versions of the
throttle trigger and inner handle molding. The original
versions of these parts cannot be used individually in

the modified control handle.

The tightening torque for the screws that connect the

two halves of the handle is now 2.5 Nm (1.8 lbf. ft).

This modification also applies to the loop handle kits
for converting bike handle FS 74 and 76 brushcutters
to loop handles.
