4-1. CARBURETOR
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General
This 2-barrel downdraft type carburetor has
primary and secondary systems.
The primary system operates under normal
driving condition,and the secondary system
operates under high speed-high load driving
condition. The choke valve is provided in the
primary system.
The main components and their functions are as
follows.
The primary system has; (1) a mixture control
solenoid valve which is operated by the electri-
cal signals from the Electronic Control
Module (ECM) so as to maintain the optimum
air fuel ratio of the primary slow and the pri-
mary main systems at all times, (2) a fuel cut
solenoid valve which is for the fuel cut under
deceleration and prevention of the dieseling,
and (3) an acceleration pump system.
The secondary system has a secondary diaph-
ragm which is operated by the vacuum from
the primary side and actuates the secondary
throttle valve.
The choke system is a full automatic type
using a thermo-wax.
The switch vent solenoid valve provided on
top of the float chamber is to reduce the
evaporative emissions.

[Secondary main system]
Operation of the secondary throttle valve is also
controlled by the VTV and VSV. When the VSV
is closed, the vacuum to be applied to the
secondary diaphragm passes the VTV side and
the secondary throttle valve opens gradually.
When the primary throttle valve opens almost
fully, the VSV opens according to the signal
from the ECM. Then the vacuum is applied
directly to the secondary diaphragm and the
secondary throttle valve responds to intensity of
vacuum. When the secondary throttle valve open-
ing is wider than when secondary slow system
operates, the fuel is discharged through the
secondary main jet and mixed with the air from
the secondary main air bleeder. The air/fuel
mixture is discharged into the carburetor bore
through the main discharge hole.

Acceleration Pump System
This system operates to supply extra fuel to the
primary side only during the acceleration.
When the primary throttle valve closes, the
return spring pushes up the pump piston. Then
the fuel pushes up the check ball and enters into
the pump cylinder. When the throttle valve opens
during the acceleration, simultaneously the
pump piston is pushed down by means of the
pump lever. Then the fuel in the pump cylinder
pushes up the discharge ball and the lower
injector weight and discharges into the carbure-
tor bore from the pump discharge nozzle.
In this way, a higher acceleration performance is
provided by this system.

10) Install needle valve filter, valve seat, gasket,
needle valve and float to air horn. After
installing float, check for float level and
adjust if necessary.
11) Install primary and secondary slow air
bleeders to air horn.

12) Be sure to apply silicone oil to mixture
control solenoid valve seal before installing
air horn to float chamber.
NOTE:
Be sure to use silicone oil that will not affect
rubber.

13) Install air horn gasket to float chamber. Use
new gasket.
14) Install air horn to float chamber. After
installing acceleration pump lever to air
horn, check lever for smooth operation.
15) Connect 3 hoses as shown below figure.

Float Adjustment
l)The fuel level in float chamber should be
within round mark at the center of level
gauge.

2. Round mark3. Fuel level
Fig. 4- l-42 Fuel level
2) If the fuel level is not found within the round
mark, check the float level and adjust it as
follows:
a) Remove the air horn, and invert it.
b) Measure the distance between the float and
the gasketed surface of air horn. The
measured distance is float level, and it
should be the specification.
If the float level is out of specification,
adjust it by bending the tongue up or
down.
NOTE:
l This measurement should be made without a
gasket on the air horn.
l Check float height with float weight applied
to needle valve.
l As a gauge for checking float level, use
something whose thickness measurement is
the same as specified level measurement
(such as a drill or M8 bolt) after confirming
thickness with vernier calipers.

Idle Up Adjustment
1) Warm up engine to normal operating tempe-
rature.
2)Check to be sure that engine idle speed is
specification.
3) Check to ensure that idle-up actuator rod
moves down (indicating that idle-up is at
work) when small light, tail light, license
light and side marker light are turned “ON”.

[Timing advancer] [Vacuum advancer]
The distributor shaft, from its driven-gear end to
the rotor-carrying end, is not a single solid piece;
actually this shaft is in two pieces connected
together through the timing advancer. The
advancer is essentially a flyweight mechanism.
Timing advancing action is accomplished by
twisting the top shaft piece relative to the bot-
tom one in the direction of shaft rotation.
The single rotor is mounted on the top piece.
The twisting movement is produced by the
speed-dependent radia I (or spreading) move-
ments of the two flyweights.
In this vacuum-advance mechanism, when the
vacuum in the carburetor gets high, the pressure
acting on the diaphragm overcomes the spring
force in it and the controller rod attached to the
diaphragm is pulled. And the rod so pulled turns
the generator base plate counter to the direction
of the distributor shaft rotation (counterclock-
wise) to advance (quicken) the ignition. (Before
