Pump end serial number is located on the side of the pump (1.1).
Engine serial number is stamped on a nameplate attached to the crankcase (1.2).
These serial numbers are the key to various design details pertaining to the original manufacture
of each unit. Therefore, it is very important to specify serial numbers whenever ordering
parts and tools or when requesting information.

1.3 DIRECTIONAL REFERENCES


All references to right side and left side of unit are made as they appear to operator when facing

ENGINE A/F ADJUSTMENT: ALTITUDE VARIATIONS


OPERATING It is very important to adjust carburetor when moved from a HIGHER ALTITUDE to a LOWER ALTITUDE
and vice versa.
Example:
At higher altitudes there is less oxygen therefore you need to adjust the carburetor to maintain
a proper A/F RATIO (we need to decrease the amount of fuel in the A/F ratio…lean out). If the
carburetors (adjusted lean for high altitude) are not re-adjusted when the engine is taken down to
sea level conditions (lower altitude) the engine will be operating with a much leaner A/ F RATIO (more
air at lower altitudes) and possibly cause engine damage.

A/F ADJUSTMENTS: AIR FILTERS


The condition of the air filter can cause the A/F ratio to vary. A dirty air filter restricts the amount of
air that can enter the carburetor resulting in a richer A/F ratio. Some operators make the mistake of
adjusting the A/F ratio as the air filters gets dirtier by leaning out the carburetor instead of
cleaning/changing the air filter. As soon as the air filter is either changed or cleaned (A/F ratio not
re-adjusted) more air will be able to enter the carburetor resulting in a much leaner A/F mixture which
can result in possible engine damage.

A/F ADJUSTMENTS: DIFFERENT FUEL MIXTURE RATIOS


The A/F ratio and the fuel mixture ratio are closely linked. The following cases will better describe
how they are related.

CONCLUSION
Wildfire suggests using Castrol 2 Stroke Super Stroke or similar
mixing oil due to the positive results when used in the MK-3 at a
24:1 mixture ratio. Tests have been conducted using synthetic and
semi-synthetic oils but found varying results with variations in
fuel quality and oil quality with some results leading to piston
damage or piston ring sticking.

ENGINE FLOODING
Flooding refers to an accumulation of excess fuel in cylinder, mainly due to excessive use of choke.
OPERATING
When the engine is in a flooded condition, an over-rich fuel-air mixture is induced into the cylinder.
This mixture does not ignite readily and usually fouls the spark plug.

CLEARING A FLOODED ENGINE


Remove fuel supply line from engine or close fuel supply valve (if equipped). Remove spark plug. With

ENGINE ELECTRONIC IGNITION


OPERATING In May of 2004, Wildfire announced that the standard MARK-3 units would feature an
electronic ignition system as opposed to the previous pointed ignition system.
The upgrade to the electronic ignition system has eliminated the need for regular maintenance
associated with breaker points. The electronic ignition system uses a magnetic pickup located on
the flywheel which, when passing over a certain point on the stator, will induce a high
voltage that causes the spark plug to fire at the proper moment.
The electronic ignition module is equipped with spark advance, thus allowing for a cleaner burn
at higher RPM levels. The engine will run smoother and will be more responsive. Note that when
the engine is started cold, it will run "rough" (as if the timing is off) for about 15-30
seconds, after which the engine will run smoothly.
In order to convert a MARK-3 from breaker points to the upgraded electronic ignition system, a
retrofit kit was created (B-7595). This manual provides step-by-step instructions on how to perform
the conversion.
The breakdown of the electronic ignition is shown below. The electronic module is placed in an

PUMP UNIT PUMP LUBRICATION


Pumps requiring greasing must be lubricated every 8 hours of operation and after each use.
Use a clean grease gun filled with fresh grease. Remove dirt from grease fitting before applying grease

3. Stand pump on suction nozzle end for several minutes to complete drainage.
4. Replace discharge, suction, and priming caps.

TESTING PROCEDURE

The A-2388 pump test kit is designed to verify the condition of a pump unit by completing a
performance test. This is achieved through running the unit at three key nozzle bore sizes: ¼” (6 mm),
⅜” (9.5 mm), and at ½” (12.7 mm). Verify that the pressure output at full throttle is at or above the
below-listed minimal pressure ranges by reading the pressure gauge at each nozzle setting. The pump
unit should be sent to a service center if it fails any one of the testing points. (See next page for kit
breakdown).

unit should be set up as close
as possible to water source. • Due to lack of water, air lock may form in the suction hose when pump unit works against a
high delivery head. If this happens, disconnect the discharge hose from the pump then reprime
pump in the normal manner.
• Pump runs out of water, either because of lack of sufficient water supply or by attempting to
pump water from a shallow water source.

PUMP UNIT The footvalve must remain at least 30 cm (1 foot) under the water surface while pump is operating.
All suction couplings, including footvalve, must be wrench tightened. Proper fitting gaskets must be
used in all coupled joints. Worn or dried out gaskets should be replaced with new gaskets.

refer to the Appendix
section. The Digital Overspeed Switch (DOS) continuously monitors the engine’s speed through the use of a
microcontroller which, once overspeed is detected, re-validates that the condition exists then
immediately shuts down the pump. Adjustment of a tension spring is no longer required. An “ON/OFF”
switch is also no longer required. This also reduces the amount of wiring and spare parts necessary
for each unit. Can be installed on any MARK-3 equipped with electronic ignition module.
DOS
POWER
OFF button
The DOS unit derives power from the engine and therefore does not require the use of batteries. The
unit powers up once the engine is operating.

INTEGRATED OFF SWITCH


With the DOS installed the ON switch is no longer required. The MARK-3 unit is, hence, always ready
to start. However, the DOS incorporates an OFF switch which the operator can activate when needed.

INSTALLATION
The DOS uses one single wire making installation simple. The DOS easily installs on the side of the
fan cowl above the carburetor shroud.
For end users with the current MARK-3 CDI units with (B-6288) mechanical cut-out switch the
necessary kit required in order to convert to DOS is B-6289. An instruction sheet for installation
purposes is provided with every kit. Please refer to Appendix (DOS Instruction Sheet).

NOTE
The DOS feature is available exclusively for MARK-3 fire pumps with CDI units that is, units
with an electronic ignition module (any MARK-3 purchased after November 2003). The DOS
became a standard feature for all MARK-3 units back in June 2009 with the
exception of the MARK-3 GSA version.

Wildfire strongly recommends using a robust type spark plug connector

Usage of another type of spark plug cap may lead to a potential DOS
malfunction and will inherently limit any applicable warranties.

REGULAR SERVICING SPARK PLUG


MAINTENANCE Operating with a defective or incorrect spark plug will affect the engine's performance and can cause
hard starting, fouling, missing, overheating, pre ignition and/or lack of power. To service and inspect
the spark plug, the following steps must be performed.

1. Remove spark plug cover.

2. Disconnect spark plug cable and remove spark plug.


IMPORTANT 3. Clean spark plug and inspect carefully. If tip of insulator core is rough, cracked, broken or blistered,
or if electrodes are burned away to the extent that they are too thin and cannot be satisfactorily

information.
4. Reinstall spark plug. Start threads one or two turns with fingers to avoid danger of cross threading.
Tighten spark plug to recommended torque of 25 Nm (18 ft-lbs or 215 inch-lbs).

5. Connect spark plug cable.

6. Install spark plug cover; tighten screws securely.


Caution: Ceramic insulation of spark plug is easily damaged by shock stresses or bending
stresses as may be imposed by dropping, striking with hard objects or overtightening. Therefore,
if spark plug has been subjected to such accidental abuse, it should be carefully inspected and tested
before further use.

UPGRADED SPARK PLUG CAP

For years the MARK-3 was using a rubber spark plug connector R-650. The rubber
connector was known to crack where the wire goes into the connector and where the rubber
connector goes onto the spark plug.
The rubber connector has since been replaced by a robust type of connector used on high
performance recreational vehicles. The connector has the added benefit of being able to shield
against noise signals.
The part number remains R-650.

A robust type of connector has replaced the old


spark plug rubber cap.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

The carburetor is provided with three adjustments, namely high speed (main) adjustment; low speed
(idle) adjustment; and idle speed regulating screw.

1. Before starting pump unit, close both main and idle adjustment screws, by turning clockwise,
until needle just touches seat.
Note: Turn adjustment screws carefully and gently. Do not force needle into seat, otherwise, both
needle and seat may be permanently damaged.

2. Open main adjustment screw 1 turn, by turning counterclockwise.

3. Open idle adjustment screw 1 turn, by turning counterclockwise.

4. Turn idle speed regulating screw until throttle shutter is slightly open.

5. Start unit. Open choke slowly, and allow engine to warm up thoroughly, gradually
increasing speed to full throttle setting while running with 6 mm (1/4") diameter nozzle tip
connected to a 3 m (10') discharge hose.

6. When engine is thoroughly warmed up, close throttle, then adjust idle adjustment screw and idle
speed regulating screw, until engine idles smoothly between 2000-2200 RPM.

7. Increase speed gradually to full throttle setting, then turn main adjustment screw until engine
gives maximum RPM and pump delivers maximum pressure. Then, turn main adjustment screw
1/4 turn maximum counterclockwise. This setting will give correct mixture ratio to assure proper
engine lubrication.
Do not leave main adjustment screw set too lean, otherwise serious engine damage may occur due
to lack of sufficient lubrication.
Note: It will be necessary to readjust the carburator when taking the pump from one altitude and
placing in a different altitude. Repeat steps 1 to 7.

pressing tool to insert the bearing on the crankshaft.
SERVICE 19. Apply a small amount of Anti Seize (Copaslip our Loctite) on the ball bearing R-343.
20. Heat the ball bearing to a temperature of 90 °C (194 °F)
not exceeding 100 °C (212 °F).
21. Install the ball bearing R-343 on the crankshaft (magneto side). If necessary use a
pressing tool to insert the bearing on the crankshaft.
22. Heat the crankcases to a temperature of 90 °C (194 °F) not exceeding 100 °C (212 °F).
23. Install the new oil seals R-123 on the coupling side (pump side) and R-342 on the
magneto side (fan) of the crankcase. The oil seals must be installed from the inside to
the outside with the closed side facing the exterior of the crankcase.
24. Grease the oil seals.
25. Slide crankshaft in crankcase half (pump side). Be careful to prevent damage to lip
of oil seal.
26. Important : Ensure that the rotating part of the bearings do not come into
contact with the seals.
27. If necessary press crankshaft into crankcase half (pump side). To prevent bending of
crankshaft, be sure to always use tool R-953 (fig. 1), crankshaft jack, between webs
of crankshaft (fig. 2).
28. Install a new crankcase gasket R-133, apply some oil.
29. Slide the other crankcase half on crankshaft.
30. Align dowel tubes and verify that crankshaft jack and connecting rod are in piston
axe (fig. 3) and press crankcase halves together.

screws.
32. Reassemble crankcase screws and lockwashers. Tighten screws uniformly to 10 Nm
(90 inch-lbs) torque.
33. For stress relief, gently tap the two crankcase halves with a soft head hammer.
34. Turn crankshaft and check for smooth run.
35. If piston was removed, reinstall it in proper position (arrow on top of piston or bal-
ancing lumps inside piston head should be on muffler side of engine). Replace nee-
dle bearing R-324, if necessary.
36. Change cylinder head and cylinder flange gaskets (R-235 and R-238). The cylinder
head gasket must have the large band up.
37. When reassembling cylinder head, be sure the “filled”
part inside the head is on the muffler side of the engine, therefore the “scooped-out”
part will be on the carburetor side).
Important: Put carburetor side on same side of spark plug cable hole in
crankcase. Tighten cylinder head nuts to recommended torque as 23-25 Nm
(200-220 inch-lbs). Nuts should be torqued after first 10 hours of operation and
every 100 hours after.

MAJOR OVERHAUL ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR PUMP END (continued)


SERVICE 16. Screw locknut #18 onto shaft. When tightening the nut, do not use excessive force as
this may result in failure of the seals, drive bushing or impellers. Do not forget to
secure the shaft from rotating. Bend lockwasher up onto one flat of the hexagon
locknut at a position approximately 180° from the milled slot in the shaft.
17. Place O-ring #7 in groove of suction cover #6, then bench press the cover into the
pump body until it rests on face of first distributor. A gap of approximately 0.794 mm
(1/32") between nozzle flange and end of body, is normal.
18. Attach suction cover to body by using the #5 screws and lockwashers #2. Tighten
screws evenly and firmly.
19. Attach shaft nose #3 using lockwasher #2 and screw #1. Tighten screw evenly and
firmly.
20. Check gasket in the priming cap #9 and replace if damaged.
21. Reinstall the suction and discharge thread protectors (if equipped).
22. Reinstall caps on suction and discharge inlets.

NOTE NOTE: Pump ends (12-16) with the double row ball bearing (12-48) should
be greased after every 8 hours of operation.

DECARBONISING
After several hours of normal operation, carbon deposits will form on piston crown, cylinder
head, in the cylinder exhaust port and around piston rings and in the ring grooves, causing
erratic and faulty operation. The piston skirt may also show signs of gum and varnish deposits.
To decarbonise, the cylinder head, cylinder and piston should be removed. All carbon
deposits should be carefully removed, particularly from the piston ring grooves. After
removing carbon, wash all parts in a suitable solvent, then dry with compressed air. On
reassembly, always use new piston rings.
After every 100 hours of operation, or more often if a loss of power is observed,
the engine should be decarbonised.
To decarbonise the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Remove muffler. If muffler is very dirty internally or appears burned or cracked, it should
be replaced with a new muffler.
2. Remove cylinder head and cylinder head gasket.
3. Rotate crankshaft until piston is at bottom dead centre.
4. Using a brass scraper tool, carefully scrape carbon deposit from exhaust port. During
this operation, tilt engine so that deposits will not fall into combustion chamber.
5. Use suitable brass tool to push out any carbon deposit which may have formed in the
hole provided in the cylinder liner for bypass.
6. Rotate crankshaft until piston is at top dead centre.
7. Use a stiff (not wire) brush to remove loose, flakey carbon from top of piston. Do not
remove hard deposit of carbon, as this layer forms a natural heat insulator to protect
the piston crown.
8. Remove all carbon deposits from cylinder head.
9. Replace cylinder head. Tighten nuts uniformly to recommended torque
23-25 Nm (200-220 inch-lbs) value. Always use a new cylinder head gasket (cylinder
head gasket must have the large band up).
10. Check and replace muffler gasket if worn or damaged. Reinstall muffler.

APPENDICES INFORMATION ON MECHANICAL CUT-OUT SWITCH FOR PREVIOUS


MARK-3 MODELS
Cutout Switch Adjustment (Static)
The cutout switch must be adjusted when installed in the fan cowl. This is necessary
because slight changes in the shape of the mounting plate occur when fastened in position
on the fan cowl.
Check that, with the air vane in the approximate centre of its travel, the spring attachment
holes "line up" with the pivot to form a a straight line (see FIG. 1). All brackets and pivot
should be perpendicular with the face of the plate.
Initial setting: A preliminary setting can be made by placing on the vane an object
sufficiently heavy to cause the vane to just leave the stop and start to move towards the
contacting position. A 2.5 oz (70 g) weight is used to approximate the setting during
FIG. 1 assembly. The final calibration must be made with the engine running.

Cutout Switch Adjustment (Dynamic)


1. Setup pump unit close to water supply. Use a 2 m to 3 m (6' to 10') suction hose with
footvalve attached. Connect a short length 2 m to 3 m (6' to 10') of discharge hose to
pump outlet. Attach a calibrated nozzle having a 12.7 mm (1/2") diameter orifice.
2. After starting and warming up engine thoroughly, increase to maximum recommended
power, then lift footvalve out of water supply. Engine will speed up then stop suddenly,
indicating the automatic cutout switch is functioning.
Should the switch not cutout after 1-2 seconds, while engine is running at increased
speed, close throttle and toggle switch immediately, otherwise serious engine damage
may result.
Assuming that cutout is functioning, then the speed setting of the switch should be checked
to make sure that it is not set too low or too high.
Use a reliable tachometer to check engine RPM.
3. Located in the upper centre of the outer surface of the fan housing, is a small socket
head adjustment screw. By using a 1/16" Allen key (tool R-909) and turning this screw
1/2 turn clockwise will increase the cutout speed setting approximately 150 RPM. A
1/2 turn counterclockwise will decrease speed setting approximately 150 RPM. After
each adjustment, recheck the actual speed at which cutout switch operates until proper
setting is obtained.
If a reliable tachometer is not available, then the cutout switch may be roughly calibrated
as follows:
Use a 3 mm (1/8") orifice tip screwed to nozzle. After warming up engine thoroughly,
increase to full throttle, then turn adjustment screw slowly counterclockwise until switch
cuts out and stops engine. Now turn screw one full turn clockwise and leave it in this
position.
The cutout switch will now operate automatically to stop engine should pump run out of
water, lose prime, etc. The switch will not interfere with normal operation of the unit and
will also allow the use of small nozzle tips as well as complete pump shut-off for short
periods of time.

APPENDICES OPERATION

Starting the engine:


• Before starting the engine, it
is recommended to pull the
starter rope and crank over
the engine a couple of times
in order to charge up the
DOS. This will facilitate the
starting. The LED will light
up while the DOS is being
charged.
• Start the engine as directed
in the MK-3 Instruction &
Service manual. (Note that
there is no ON switch.)
Stopping the engine:
• To stop the engine, press the
OFF button until the engine
shuts down.
Overspeed condition:
• If the engine starts to
overspeed, the DOS will
automatically shut down
the engine.
• Always make sure that
the cause of the overspeed
condition has been
identified and corrected
before attempting to
restart engine.
• When attempting to restart
the engine (after overspeed
condition or pressing OFF
button), wait 10 seconds
from the time the engine
shut down; this will enable
the DOS to reset itself.
Failure to wait the
prescribed duration of time
will make it difficult to
impossible to start the
engine. It may also lead to
a flooding condition.

APPENDICES IGNITION TIMING TOOL R-954-14


Instructions
To check ignition timing,
proceed as follows:
1. Inspect breaker points. Clean
or replace if necessary, then
reset gap. Refer to “Servicing
Magneto” in the MARK-3
Service Manual.
2. Remove spark plug.
3. Slowly screw timing gauge
(R-954-14) into spark plug open-
ing, while rocking crankshaft
back and forth until piston just
touches bottom of gauge. Piston
is then at top dead centre. Cylinder head
4. Leave timing gauge in this
position.
5. Rotate crankshaft approximately
90˚ counterclockwise.
6. Insert 0.0015” (0.04 mm) feeler
gauge between breaker points.
7. Mark cylinder head fin with a
small mark aligned with the
zero “0” on the gauge. Screw
timing gauge in to 0.147” R-954-14
Ignition timing gauge
(3.734 mm), or almost three
complete revolutions (0.050”
per revolution).
8. Slowly rotate crankshaft clock-
wise until piston comes to rest
against gauge plunger.
9. Timing is correct if the 0.0015”
(0.04 mm) feeler gauge slips
easily from between the points
as the piston touches the
plunger. If timing is incorrect, it
can be corrected by rotating the
armature plate assembly clock-
wise to retard, counterclockwise
to advance the timing.
10.Reinstall flywheel and set air
gap between the flywheel
magnets and ignition coil to
0.010” (0.254 mm).
Note: Do not exceed recommended
“gap limits” when setting breaker
points.
