AIR FILTER CLEANING
NOTE:
Proper air filter maintenance is the biggest key
to preventing premature engine wear and
damage.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine without the air filter
element in place; this would allow dirt and
dust to enter the engine and cause rapid
wear and possible engine damage.Checking steps:
lRemove the timing plug.
lTurn the crankshaft counterclockwise to
align the T.D.C. mark a on the rotor with
the align mark b on the crankcase cover
when piston is at T.D.C. on compression
stroke.
lCheck the free play c.
Free play:
5 ~ 9 mm (0.20 ~ 0.35 in)
Adjustment steps:
lLoosen the locknut 1.
lTurn the adjuster 2 in or out until the
adjustment is suitable.
lTighten the locknut.
CAUTION:
After the adjustment, start the engine
and make sure that the engine does not
stop when the handlebars are turned
fully both ways. If the decompression
cable is too tense, the engine will stop by
the decompression system.

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.
l
After installing the carburetor, check that
the throttle operates correctly and opens
and closes smoothly.
Atmospheric conditions and carburetor
settings
The air density (i.e., concentration of oxygen
in the air) determines the richness or lean-
ness of the air/fuel mixture. Therefore, refer
to the above table for mixture settings.
That is:
l
Higher temperature expands the air with its
resultant reduced density.
l
Higher humidity reduces the amount of oxy-
gen in the air by so much of the water vapor
in the same air.
l
Lower atmospheric pressure (at a high alti-
tude) reduces the density of the air.
