Main system
The FLATCR carburetor has a primary 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 manufactured with
a pilot screw. The pilot screw adjustment
ranges from fully closed throttle to 1/4 open
throttle.

Leak jet adjustment (accelerator pump
adjustment)
The leak jet 1 is a setting part that adjusts the
flow of fuel discharged by the accelerator
pump. Since the accelerator pump operates
only when throttle is open, the leak jet is used
to adjust a fuel mixture ratio for quick throttle
opening and is therefore different from other
setting parts that adjust a fuel mixture for each
throttle opening (each engine speed).
1. The engine breathes hard in quick throttle
opening.
Select a leak jet having lower calibrating
No. than standard to enrich the mixture.
#90 → #80
2. Rough engine operation is felt in quick
throttle opening.
Select a leak jet having higher calibrating
No. than standard to lean out the mixture.
#90 → #100

* #951
Relationship with throttle opening
The flow of the fuel through the carburetor
main system is controlled by the main jet and
then, it is further regulated by the area
between the main nozzle and the jet needle.
The fuel flow relates to the diameter of the
straight portion of the jet needle with the throt-
tle 1/8 to 1/4 open and relates to the clip posi-
tion with the throttle 1/8 to 3/4 open.
Therefore, the fuel flow is balanced at each
stage of throttle opening by the combination of
the jet needle straight portion diameter and clip
position.

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 filter
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 diame-
ter.Slow-speed-circuit passage

→ 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 nee-
dle 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 filter for fouling.
Check that the accelerator pump oper-
ates smoothly.
