Carburetor setting
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.
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
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.
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.

TUN
CAUTION:
The carburetor is extremely sensitive to
foreign matter (dirt, sand, water, etc.).
During installation, do not allow foreign
matter to get into the carburetor.
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.
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.
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:
Higher temperature expands the air with its
resultant reduced density.
Higher humidity reduces the amount of oxy-
gen in the air by so much of the water vapor
in the same air.
Lower atmospheric pressure (at a high alti-
tude) reduces the density of the air.

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
Check that the accelerator pump oper-
ates smoothly.
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.
Check that the accelerator pump oper-
ates smoothly (except for rich mixture
symptom). Rich mixture Raise jet needle clip position.
(1 groove up)
1/4 ~ 3/4 throttle
Hard breathing
Lack of speedLower jet needle clip position.
(1 groove down)
1/4 ~ 1/2 throttle
Slow speed pick-up
Poor accelerationRaise jet needle clip position.
(1 groove up)
Closed to 1/4 throttle
Hard breathing
Speed downUse jet needle with a smaller diameter. Slow-speed-circuit passage
Clogged → Clean.
Overflow from carburetor
Closed to 1/4 throttle
Poor accelerationUse jet needle with a larger diameter.
Raise jet needle clip position. (1 groove
up)
Poor response in the low to
intermediate speedsRaise jet needle clip position.
If this has no effect, lower the jet needle
clip position.
Poor response when throttle
is opened quicklyCheck overall settings.
Use main jet with a lower calibration no.
Raise jet needle clip position.
(1 groove up)
If these have no effect, use a main jet
with a higher calibration no. and lower
the jet needle clip position.Check air cleaner for fouling.
Check that the accelerator pump oper-
ates smoothly.
