2-3 Adjusting carburettor
1. Start engine and warm it up at idle for one minute.
Turn H mixture needle anticlockwise until engine
speed drops to approx. 11,000 r/min.
2. Warm it up well for 100 sec alternating engine
speed between WOT (Wide Open Throttle) for 5
seconds and idle for 5 seconds .
NOTE : Do not run engine at high speed without
load longer than 5 seconds, or engine damage may
occur.
3. Adjust L mixture needle with 3 mm blade
screwdriver to reach maximum engine speed just
before lean drop off.
4. Set idle engine speed to 3,800 r/min by turning idle adjust screw. Engine speed should be stable at
3,800 +/- 50 r/min after idle adjust screw adjustment.
5. Turn L mixture needle anticlockwise reducing engine idle speed 1,200 r/min to set idle speed at 2,600
r/min. The engine idle speed range is 2,500 - 2,800 r/min.
NOTE : Engine speed must be allowed to stabilize a minimum of 20 seconds after each adjustment of L
mixture needle to assure accurate tachometer readings.
6. Make sure WOT engine speed is approx. 11,000 r/min. If WOT engine speed is over 11,000 r/min, turn
H mixture needle anticlockwise until engine speed drops to approx. 11,000 r/min. Turn H mixture needle
1/8 turn increments clockwise at idle engine speed, then squeeze throttle trigger and check WOT engine
speed. If the WOT engine speed is less than 11,500 r/min, turn H mixture needle 1/8 turn clockwise again,
and check WOT engine speed. The final WOT engine speed should fall within the11,700 to 12,300 r/min
range.
7. After adjusting carburettor, screw new limiter cap
on the thread of the limiter cap removal tool 91019
(C) anticlockwise approx. 2 turns as shown, and put
the limiter caps on L and H mixture needles
respectively. And then press the caps on L and H
mixture needles with opposite side of the limiter cap
tool (C).
NOTE : Align the limiter cap’s tabs (A) with locating
slots (B) in extended housing of carburettor.
IMPORTANT : The limiter caps must be installed L and H mixture needles to comply with Emission
Directive.
8. Start engine, and verify engine idle speed ranges from 2,400 to 2,900 r/min, and WOT engine speed
ranges from 11,500 to 12,500 r/min. Make sure chain does not rotate when engine is idling. When final
adjustment is completed, the engine should idle, accelerate smoothly, and attain WOT per above
specification.
NOTE : Initial carburettor setting (idle adjust screw, L and H mixture needles) shown on page 3 and 8 is
to start the engine after restoration or carburettor change. Idle adjust screw, L and H mixture needles turn
for designated engine revolution through procedures indicated here may vary. As long as idle and WOT
engine speed is set in given range, variance would be ignorable.
