TUNSETTING
1. The engine breathes hard in
quick throttle opening.
Select a leak jet having lower
calibrating No. than standard to
enrich the mixture.
#70
→ #65
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.
#70
→ #85
Standard leak jet #70
Relationship with throttle opening
The flow of the fuel through the car-
buretor main system is controlled by
the main jet and then, it is further reg-
ulated 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 nee-
dle with the throttle 1/8 to 1/4 open
and relates to the clip position 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.1. Le moteur crachote lors de l’ouver-
ture rapide des gaz.
Sélectionner un gicleur de fuite de
calibre inférieur au calibre standard
afin d’enrichir le mélange.
N°70 → N°65
2. Le moteur manque de souplesse lors
de l’ouverture rapide des gaz.
Sélectionner un gicleur de fuite de
calibre supérieur au calibre standard
afin d’appauvrir le mélange.
N°70 → N°85
Gicleur de fuite
standardN°70Relation avec l’ouverture du papillon
Le débit du carburant dans le système de
carburateur principal est contrôlé par le
gicleur principal, puis une nouvelle régu-
lation s’effectue dans la zone entre le
gicleur principal et l’aiguille.
Le débit du carburant est fonction du
diamètre de la partie droite de l’aiguille
lorsque l’ouverture du papillon est de 1/8
à 1/4, et de la position du clip lorsque
l’ouverture du papillon est de 1/8 à 3/4.
Par conséquent, le débit de carburant est
équilibré à chaque degré d’ouverture du
papillon par la combinaison du diamètre
de la partie droite de l’aiguille et de la
position du clip.

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 condi-
tions 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 operates
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 operates
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 diameter. Slow-speed-circuit passage
Clogged
→ 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 needle
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 operates
smoothly.
