2-3 Adjusting carburettor
1. Start and warm engine for 1 minute alternating
engine speed between WOT and idle every 5 sec-
onds. Turn H mixture needle (D) anticlockwise until
engine speed drops to approx. 11,500 r/min at WOT.
NOTE : Do not run engine at high speed without
load longer than 10 seconds, or engine damage
may occur.
2. Adjust L mixture needle (C) using 2.5mm blade
screwdriver to reach maximum engine speed just
before lean speed drop off.
3. Set idle speed to 3,600 r/min by turning Idle
adjust screw (E). Engine speed should be stable
at 3,600 +/- 50 r/min after Idle adjust screw
adjustment.
4. Turn L mixture needle (C) anticlockwise reducing engine idle speed 800 r/min to set idle speed at 2,800
r/min. The idle speed range is 2,750 - 2,850 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.
5. Before adjustment, WOT engine speed should be 11,500 r/min or less. If engine speed is higher, turn
H mixture needle anticlockwise until 11,500 r/min is achieved. To make the fi nal WOT engine speed ad-
justment, turn the H mixture needle clockwise in 1/8 turn increments with the engine at idle. After each
adjustment, accelerate to WOT, and check speed. The fi nal speed should fall within 12,100 - 12,300 r/min
at WOT.
NOTE : When the H mixture needle is turned completely clockwise, the engine will continue to run. If the
engine speed at WOT is above 13,300 r/min, adjust H mixture needle anticlockwise and set maximum
engine speed at less than 13,000 r/min.
6. After adjusting carburettor, put new limiter
cap on the other side (f) of limiter cap tool (F) as
shown. Align the limiter cap’s tabs (A) with locating
slots (B) in extended housing of carburettor and
press the limiter caps to the bottoms on L and H
mixture needles respectively.
IMPORTANT : The limiter caps must be properly installed on L and H mixture needles to comply
with Emission Directive.
7. Start engine, and verify engine idle speed ranges from 2,600 to 3,200 r/min, and WOT engine speed
ranges from 11,800 to 12,800 r/min. Make sure the chain does not rotate when engine is idling. When
fi nal adjustment is completed, the engine should idle, accelerate smoothly, and attain WOT per above
specifi cations.
