2. Adjust:
Decompression lever free play Checking steps:
Remove the timing plug.
Turn 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.
Check the free play c.
Free play:
5 ~ 9 mm (0.20 ~ 0.35 in)
Adjustment steps:
Loosen the locknut 1.
Turn the adjuster 2 in or out until the
adjustment is suitable.

5. Insert the thin electric conductors 2
(lead) into the TPS coupler 1, as shown,
and connect the tester to them.
CAUTION:
Do not insert the electric conductors
more than required because it may
reduce the waterproof function of the
coupler.
Make sure that a short-circuit does not
develop between the terminals because it
may cause damage to electrical compo-
nents.
6. Start the engine.
7. Adjust:

Attach the inductive tachometer (engine
tachometer) to the high tension cord.
Turn the throttle stop screw 1 until the
specified idle speed.
Refer to “IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT”
section in the CHAPTER 3.
Idle speed:
1,700 ~ 1,900 r/min
Tester (+) lead → Yellow lead 3
Tester (–) lead → Black lead 4
Adjustment steps:
Adjust the installation angle of the TPS 1
to obtain the specified output voltage.
NOTE:
Measure the output voltage accurately with a
digital electronic voltmeter that gives an easy
reading of a small voltage.
