ENGINE
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 com-
ponents carefully. Even slight scratches,
bends or damage to carburetor 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.

SETTING
Main jet adjustment
The richness of the air-fuel mixture at full throt-
tle can be set by changing the main jet
1
.
If the air-fuel mixture is too rich or too lean, the
engine power will drop, resulting in poor accel-
eration.

Pilot screw adjustment
The richness of the air-fuel mixture with the
throttle fully closed to 1/8 open can be set by
turning the pilot screw
1
. Turning in the pilot
screw will make the mixture lean at low
speeds, and turning it out will enrich it.
* Except for USA
NOTE:

The pilot screw is set at the factory, there is no
need to adjust it.
If the idling speed fluctuates, turn the pilot
screw only 1/2 of a turn in either direction.

SETTING
Pilot jet adjustment
The richness of the air-fuel mixture with the
throttle open 1/4 or less can be set by adjust-
ing the pilot jet.
If the engine breathes hard when you start
opening the throttle, the air-fuel mixture is too
rich and should be made leaner.

Jet needle groove position adjustment
Adjusting the jet needle

position affects the
acceleration when the throttle is 1/4 to 1/2
open.
1. Too rich at intermediate speeds
Rough engine operation is felt and the
engine will not pick up speed smoothly. In
this case, step up the jet needle clip by
one groove and move down the needle to
lean out the mixture.
2. Too lean at intermediate speeds
The engine breathes hard and will not
pick up speed quickly.
Step down the jet needle clip by one
groove and move up the needle to enrich
the mixture.

Examples of carburetor setting depending on symptom
This should be taken simply for an example. It is necessary to set the carburetor while checking
the operating conditions of the engine.
Symptom Setting Checking
At full throttle
Hard breathing
Shearing noise
Whitish spark plug
Lean mixtureIncrease main jet calibration no.
(Gradually)Discoloration of spark plug ®
If tan color, it is in good condition.
If cannot be corrected:
Clogged float valve seat
Clogged fuel hose
Clogged fuel cock
Accelerator pump
At full throttle
Speed pick-up stops
Slow speed pick-up
Slow response
Sooty spark plug
Rich mixtureDecrease main jet calibration no.
(Gradually)Discoloration of spark plug ®
If tan color, it is in good condition.
If cannot be corrected:
Clogged air cleaner
Fuel overflow from carburetor
Lean mixture Lower jet needle clip position.
(1 groove down)
The clip position is the jet needle
groove on which the clip is installed.
The positions are numbered from the
top.

ture symptom). Rich mixture Raise jet needle clip position.

If this has no effect, lower the jet needle
clip position.

is opened quicklyCheck overall settings.
Use main jet with a lower calibration no.

If these have no effect, use a main jet
with a higher calibration no. and lower
