the TPS (throttle position sensor) due to
failure because it will cause a drop in
engine performance.

Adjustment steps:
9Set the inductive tachometer (engine
tachometer) to the high tension cord.
9Turn the throttle stop screw 1until the
specified idle speed.
Refer to “IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT” sec-
tion in the CHAPTER 3.
7. Insert the thin electric conductors 2(lead
wire) into the TPS coupler 1, as shown,
and connect the tester to them.
cC
9Do not insert the electric conductors
more than required because it may
reduce the waterproof function of the
coupler.
9Make sure that a short-circuit does not
develop between the terminals because it
may cause damage to electrical compo-
nents.

Carburetor setting
9The role of fuel is to cool the engine, and in the
case of a 2-stroke engine, to lubricate the
engine in addition to power generation. Accord-
ingly, if a mixture of air and fuel is too lean,
abnormal combustion will occur, and engine
seizure may result. If the mixture is too rich,
spark plugs will get wet with oil, thus making it
impossible to bring the engine into full play or if
the worst comes to the worst, the engine may
stall.
9The richness of the air-fuel mixture required for
the engine will vary with atmospheric conditions
of the day and therefore, the settings of the car-
buretor must be properly suited to the atmos-
pheric conditions (air pressure, humidity and
temperature).
9Finally, the rider himself must make a test-run
and check his machine for conditions (pick-up
of engine speed, road surface conditions) and
for the discoloration of the spark plug(s). After
taking these into consideration, he must select
the best possible carburetor settings.
It is advisable to make a note of settings,
atmospheric conditions, road surface condition,
lap-time, etc. so that the memorandum can be
used as a reference useful for future.
EC712000
Atmospheric conditions and carburetor
setting
The reason for the above tendency is that the
richness or leanness of a fuel mixture depends
on the density of the air (i.e. the concentration of
oxygen in it).

SETTINGTUN
That is:
9Higher temperature expands the air with its
resultant reduced density.
9Higher humidity reduces the amount of oxygen
in the air by so much of the water vapor in the
same air.
9Lower atmospheric pressure (at a high altitude)
reduces the density of the air.
EC713001
Test run
After warming up the engine equipped with the
standard type carburetor(s) and spark plug(s),
run two or three laps of the circuit and check the
smooth operation of the engine and discoloration
of spark plug(s).
