Fast Idle Opening
FE and F8 (General, ECE, Hong Kong, and Sin-
gapore)
Adjustment of fast idle opening is normally un-
necessary.
But if it is necessary, adjust it as shown.
1. Before adjustment, let the carburetor set at 25WC
(77°F) for at least 1 hour.
2. Check that the center of the cam lever aligns with
the mark (25°) on the fast idle cam.
3. If not as specified, adjust it by turning the adjust
screw.
4. Measure the throttle valve clearance between the
throttle valve and wall with a wire gage.

Clearance mm (in) 0.48—0.64
(0.019-0.025)

5. If not as specified, adjust it by turning the fast idle
adjust screw.
Unloader System
Only FE and F8 (General, ECE, Hong Kong, and
Singapore)
1. Open the primary throttle valve fully.
2. Measure the choke valve clearance.
Clearance-
1.68—2.14 mm (0.066—0.084 in)
3. If not as specified, adjust it by bending tab A.
Slow Fuel Cut Solenoid Valve
1. Start the engine, and run it at idle.
2. Disconnect the connector of the carburetor.
3. Check that the engine stops.
4. If the engine does not stop, replace the slow fuel
cut solenoid valve.

FUEL PUMP
Inspection
Fuel pressure
1. Disconnect the hose at the carburetor and connect
a fuel pressure gauge.
2. Disconnect the fuel return hose from the fuel pump
and plug the fuel pump return pipe as shown in
the figure,
3. Measure the pressure while the engine is idling.
Replace the pump, if necessary.

Flow rate (volume)
1. Disconnect the carburetor fuel hose and insert the
end into a measuring breaker.
2. Disconnect the fuel return hose from the fuel pump
and plug the fuel pump return pipe as shown in
the figure.
3. Start the engine and measure the amount of fuel
pumped per minute.
Volume: More than 860 cc (52.5 cuin)/min
Removal
1. Remove in the following order.
(1) Fuel outlet hose
(2) Fuel inlet hose
(3) Fuel return hose
(4) Fuel pump
(5) Gasket
(6) Insulator
(7) Gasket
76G04A-050
Installation
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Caution
a) Replace the gasket whenever the fuel pump
is replaced.
b) Be sure to connect the hoses in the correct
positions.
Check for leaks.

ADJUSTMENT
Note
a) Before adjusting the idle speed and idle
mixture, be sure the ignition timing, spark
plugs, carburetor float level, etc., are all in
normal operation condition.
b)Turn off all electrical loads.
c) This adjustment must be done while the fan
motor is not operating.
Idle Speed
1. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
2. Warm up the engine, and check that the choke
valve has fully opened.
3. Check the idle speed.
Specification
MTX ATX (in N range)
Specification Others
FE 8Valve Unleaded fuel F6 F8 & FE
Idle speed rpm 800 +6S 850 +5S 950 +5o° 900 +5§
4. If not within specification, adjust the idle speed by
turning the throttle adjust screw.
Caution
After adjusting the idle speed, the dashpot ad-
justment should be checked and adjusted if
necessary.
Idle Mixture
[Except FE 8Valve—Unleaded Fuel]
Adjust the idle mixture as follows, after adjusting the
idle speed.
1. Disconnect the secondary air hoses from the reed
valves and plug them. (If equipped.)
2. Insert an exhaust gas analyzer into the tail pipe and
measure the CO concentration.
CO concentration: 2.0 ± 0.5%
3. If not within the specification, remove the blind cap
from the mixture adjust screw.

4. Turn the mixture adjust screw to adjust the CO con-
centration.
5. Recheck the idle speed.
6. Fit a new blind cap onto the mixture adjust screw.
Idle Mixture [FE 8Valve—Unleaded Fuel]
Adjustment of the idle mixture is normally un-
necessary.
But if it is necessary, adjust it as follows.
Note
Do not insert the exhaust gas analyzer into the
tail pipe.
Before adjust the idle mixture, check and set
the idle speed.
1. Disconnect the secondary air hoses.
2. Insert an exhaust gas analyzer into the hose and
plug it to prevent leakage.
3. Start the engine and run it at idle.
4. Measure the CO concentration.
5. Remove the blink cap from the mixture adjust
screw.
6. Turn the mixture adjust screw and adjust the CO
level.
CO concentration: 2.0 ± 0.5%
7. If the idle speed fails to meet specification as the
result of the above steps, adjust the idle.
8. Reconnect the secondary air hoses.
9. Fit a new blind cap onto the mixture adjust screw.

4 A AUTO-RETURN CHOKE SYSTEM
AUTO-RETURN CHOKE SYSTEM
[FE 8VALVE—UNLEADED FUEL, MIDDLE EAST, and F6—GENERAL]
r ~ I
76G04A-066
An auto-return choke is adopted to prevent the catalytic converter from over-heating because of over
use of the choke. This system opens the choke valve by causing the choke knob to return when the
engine coolant temperature is more than 67°C (153°F).
TROUBLESHOOTING
Note
Make the system inspection first. If no problem is found, continue with the next inspec-
tion of the Troubleshooting Guide. (Refer to pages 4A—16, 21, or 22)
