NOTICE
• Before removing the throttle body, clean
the area around the throttle body to pre-
vent dirt and other foreign material from
falling into the engine.
• If the throttle body is subject to strong
shocks or dropped during cleaning, re-
place it.
• Do not use any caustic carburetor clean-
ing solution.
• Do not directly push the throttle valves to
open them.
• Do not loosen the throttle valve stopper
screw “1”, throttle valve pulley nut “2”, or
throttle valve screw “3”. A loss of perfor-
mance may occur.
• Do not use compressed air to clean the
throttle body. Foreign materials may ad-
here to the intake air pressure sensor pas-
sage “a” and fuel injector “b” in the
throttle body.3. Check:
• Starter knob/idle screw passage “c”
Obstruction  Blow out with compressed
air.
