switch (1) located on the water outlet duct on
the cylinder head.
Switch on the ignition.
Earth the lead from thermal switch ( 1) the relay ( 2 )
for the << WEBER 1) electro-valve ( 3) must operate.
Leave the thermal switch disconnected with the
lead insulated from earth.
Pull the
choke knob. electro-valve (3) is supplied
by relay (2 ) and is closed by earthing via the choke
control.
2. Pneumatic components :
Disconnect from the air-supply valve ( 5) the
pipe (4) from the valve to the exhaust manifold.
Plug the pipe in order to avoid the exhaust pressure
deteriorating the end of the tube and the valve
Use the starter to rotate the engine.
In this position. the air pump (6 j must
not supply
air through the previously disconnected opening in
the air supply valve ( 5)
CHECKING THE AIR INJECTION
Push back the choke
In this position. the air-pump (6 ) must supply air
through the previously disconnected opening in the
air-supply valve ( 5 1.
Accelerate the engine, and suddenly decelerate
The injection of air throuqh the opening must stop
for a short while.
Run the engine until the cooling fan ( or fans ) cut
in.
Pull the choke out : the air flow through the opening
in the air supply valve ( 5) must cease.
Push the choke in : the air flow must resume.
Connect to the air-supply valve ( 5) the pipe ( 4 )
from the valve to the exhaust manifold.

/,,,.I i,,jrr/io,, S~S,W1, ANNEXE : D - ADJUSTING THE IDLING SPEED AND THE EXHAUST EMISSION
CHECKING CONDITIONS
1.
Checking the idling speed must be carried out
on a clean engine on which the ignition and the
valve clearances are properly adjusted and
fitted with a clean air-filter.
2. Check that the throttle butterfly returns correctly
to its stop.
3. Do not load the alternator by switching an any
of the electrical components, except the iqnition
and the electric cooling fan (s) 4.
Run the engine to bring the oil temperature up
to 70 +o 80’ C ( wait for the electric cooling
fan is) to cut in ). IMPORTANT : Use exclusively (I high tension
tachometer ( do not damage the H.T. lead of
the ignition wiring harness ).
ADJUSTMENT
1. Check that the butterfly is not jammed in position
when it is resting against its stop.
2. Wait for the electric cooling fan (s) to cut in.
3. Use screw ( 1 ) to adjust the idling speed to 850
to 900 rpm.
4. Check the exhaust emission :
The resulting amount of CO - CO2 ( corrected CO
reading 1 must be beI& 4.5 %.
In case this reading cannot be obtained, check the
valve clearances, the ignition, the fuel pressure,
the air-tightness of the aircircuit, and the complete
fuel injection system.
5. On (I vehicle fitted with optional oirtonditioning
switch the compressor on, and adjust the idling
speed from 1000 to 1050
rpm, by adjusting the
screw on the auxiliary box located next to the
electro-vol”e.
