IGNITION SYSTEM
INSPECTION STEPS
Use the following steps for checking the possibility of the malfunctioning engine being attributable to
ignition system failure and for checking the spark plug which will not spark.
*marked: Only when the ignition checker is used.
NOTE:

Remove the following parts before inspection.
1) Seat
2) Fuel tank

Use the following special tools in this inspection.
Dynamic spark tester:
YM-34487
Ignition checker:
90890-06754Pocket tester:
YU-3112-C/90890-03112
Spark gap test*Clean or replace

ENGINE
Carburetor setting

The 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.
Accordingly, 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.

The richness of the air-fuel mixture required
for the engine will vary with atmospheric con-
ditions of the day and therefore, the settings
of the carburetor must be properly suited to
the atmospheric conditions (air pressure,
humidity and temperature).

Finally, the rider himself must make a test
run and check his machine for conditions
(pick-up of engine speed, road surface con-
ditions) 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 condi-
tion, lap-time, etc. so that the memorandum
can be used as a reference useful for future.
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.

TUN
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.
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 discol-
oration of spark plug(s).
