switch (1) located on the water outlet duct on
the cylinder head.
Switch on the ignition.
Earth the lead from thermal switch ( 1) the relay ( 2 )
for the << WEBER 1) electro-valve ( 3) must operate.
Leave the thermal switch disconnected with the
lead insulated from earth.
Pull the
choke knob. electro-valve (3) is supplied
by relay (2 ) and is closed by earthing via the choke
control.
2. Pneumatic components :
Disconnect from the air-supply valve ( 5) the
pipe (4) from the valve to the exhaust manifold.
Plug the pipe in order to avoid the exhaust pressure
deteriorating the end of the tube and the valve
Use the starter to rotate the engine.
In this position. the air pump (6 j must
not supply
air through the previously disconnected opening in
the air supply valve ( 5)
CHECKING THE AIR INJECTION
Push back the choke
In this position. the air-pump (6 ) must supply air
through the previously disconnected opening in the
air-supply valve ( 5 1.
Accelerate the engine, and suddenly decelerate
The injection of air throuqh the opening must stop
for a short while.
Run the engine until the cooling fan ( or fans ) cut
in.
Pull the choke out : the air flow through the opening
in the air supply valve ( 5) must cease.
Push the choke in : the air flow must resume.
Connect to the air-supply valve ( 5) the pipe ( 4 )
from the valve to the exhaust manifold.

2. Pneumatic components :
Ensure that the vacuum reaches capsule ( 4 1 ( device

Make sure the vacuum exists at the carburettor
outlet. If it does. and yet does not reach cap-

SUPPLEMENTARY AIR CONTROL ( 1 ) :
I’ / -...’ , _, ._,, ! .’ ! . .
At idling speed and when cold, the engine must produce more torque so as to counteract increased resistance
caused by friction. In addition to an enriched air fuel mixture, the engine also needs, when starting from cold
and during the warming-up period, to be supplied with supplementary air. The E.C.U. compensates for this
supplementary air by providing more fuel; the engine therefore has a larger amount of mixture at its disposal
to reach normal running temperature. The supplementary air control fitted in parallel with the throttle butterfly
supplies the supplementary air. The supplementary air control is heated only when the engine is running, and
its heater winding is supplied electrically as long as the ignition is switched on.
The location of the supplementary air control ‘on the engine block was selected for its good heat transfer charac-
teristics, and so as to subject the unit to the changing ambient temperature of the engine.
The opening section of the supplementary air control is automatically .adjusted according to the temperature, so
that the required idling speed is maintained regardless of engine temperature. When the latter increases, the air
channel is gradually reduced, until it is completely closed when the coolant temperature reaches approximately
+ 60” C. ->.:.. .-. : --.
,
The supplementary air control is situated at a representative spot fo.r engine running temperature. A bi-metal
spring actuates a rotary valve thereby altering the size of the air passage. Electric heating has the advantage
of allowing the. supplementary air to be adjusted at pre-set times. SWITCH ON THROTTLE BUTTERFLY SPINDLE :
,‘1 3 >_
The switch on the throttle butterfly spindle contains two contacts the idling speed contact, and the.full load contact.
The control contact, which.slides along a slot, closes the idling speed contact or the full load contact for a given
position of ‘the butterfly. The’ E.C.U. analyses the signals received so as to adjust the duration of injection.

FILLING AND ADJUSTING THE PNEUMATIC OIL GAUGE
A _ FILLING

the supporting bracket for the oil gauge unit.
2. Check that the pump ( 1 ) f o,,v pivrv ur,il 1 and the
rubber piping clue not soiled with oil.
If they are. replace the pump. and blow through
pipes with compressed air. 3. Filling the gauge :
WARNING : This operation is to be carried out
with great care so as to fill the gauge with LHM
Fluid which is not emtilsified.
- Disconnect tube (2 ) from the unit so as to get
to the filler orifice o b 11.
- Undo completely the calibrating screw ( marked
with (IIPXJ ) to allow the gauge to be adjusted on
completion of the operation.
a) Using CI hypodermic syringe. slowly inject
2.4 cm3 [ 0.146 in3 ) of LHM fluid into
orifice a b n of the gauge.
