Carburetor setting
l
The air/fuel mixture will vary depending on
atmospheric conditions. Therefore, it is nec-
essary to take into consideration the air pres-
sure, ambient temperature, humidity, etc.,
when adjusting the carburetor.
l
Perform a test run to check for proper engine
performance (e.g., throttle response) and
spark plug(-s) discoloration or fouling. Use
these readings to determine the best possi-
ble carburetor setting.
NOTE:

It is recommended to keep a record of all car-
buretor settings and external conditions (e.g.,
atmospheric conditions, track/surface condi-
tions, lap times) to make future carburetor set-
ting easier.
WARNING

l
The carburetor is a part of the fuel line.
Therefore, be sure to install it in a well-
ventilated area, away from flammable
objects and any sources of fire.
l
Never look into the carburetor intake.
Flames may shoot out from the pipe if the
engine backfires while it is being started.
Gasoline may be discharged from the
accelerator pump nozzle when the carbu-
retor has been removed.
CAUTION:

l
The carburetor is extremely sensitive to
foreign matter (dirt, sand, water, etc.).
During installation, do not allow foreign
matter to get into the carburetor.
l
Always handle the carburetor and its
components carefully. Even slight
scratches, bends or damage to carbure-
tor parts may prevent the carburetor from
functioning correctly. Carefully perform
all servicing with the appropriate tools
and without applying excessive force.
l
When the engine is stopped or when
riding at no load, do not open and close
the throttle unnecessarily. Otherwise, too
much fuel may be discharged, starting
may become difficult or the engine may
not run well.
