Main system
The FLATCR carburetor has a pri-
mary main jet. This type of main jet is
perfect for racing machines since it
supplies an even flow of fuel, even at
full load. Use the main jet and the jet
needle to set the carburetor.
Pilot system
The FLATCR carburetor is manufac-
tured with a pilot screw. The pilot
screw adjustment ranges from fully
closed throttle to 1/4 open throttle.

Système principal
Le carburateur FLATCR est équipé d’un
gicleur principal primaire. Ce type de
gicleur principal convient parfaitement
aux motos de course car il garantit un
débit de carburant régulier, même à
pleine charge. Le gicleur principal et
l’aiguille permettent de régler le carbura-
teur.
Système de ralenti
Le carburateur FLATCR est muni d’une
vis de ralenti. La plage de réglage de la
vis de ralenti va de la fermeture com-
plète du papillon à une ouverture de 1/4.
