PILOT SCREW ADJUSTMENT
10. Install:
Oil filler plug
11. Inspect:
Engine (for oil leaks)
Oil level
Refer to “ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPEC-
TION”.
12. Check:
Oil pressure
PILOT SCREW ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust:
Pilot screw 1
* Except for USAChecking steps:
Slightly loosen the oil gallery bolt 1.
Start the engine and keep it idling until oil
starts to seep from the oil gallery bolt. If no
oil comes out after one minute, turn the
engine off so it will not seize.
Check oil passages, oil filter and oil pump
for damage or leakage.
Start the engine after solving the prob-
lem(s) and recheck the oil pressure.
Tighten the oil gallery bolt to specification.
T R..
Oil gallery bolt:
18 Nm (1.8 m • kg, 13 ft • lb)
Adjusting steps:
NOTE:
To optimize the fuel flow at a smaller throttle
opening, each machine’s pilot screw has
been individually set at the factory. Before
adjusting the pilot screw, turn it in fully and
count the number of turns. Record this num-
ber as the factory-set number of turns out.
Turn in the pilot screw until it is lightly
seated.
Turn out the pilot screw by the factory-set
number of turns.
Pilot screw:
WR426F: 1-5/8 turns out
* 1-1/8 turns out
WR400F: 1-1/2 turns out

IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
1. Start the engine and thoroughly warm it
up.
2. Adjust:
Idle speed
Adjustment steps:
Adjust the pilot screw.
Refer to “PILOT SCREW ADJUSTMENT”
section.
Turn the throttle stop screw 1 until the
engine runs at the lowest possible speed.
To increase idle speed →
Turn the throttle stop screw 1 in a.
To decrease idle speed →
Turn the throttle stop screw 1 out b.
Engine idling speed:
1,700 ~ 1,900 r/min
VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
The valve clearance should be adjusted
when the engine is cool to the touch.
The piston must be at Top Dead Center
(T.D.C.) on compression stroke to check or
adjust the valve clearance.
1. Remove:
Seat
Fuel tank
Refer to “SEAT, FUEL TANK AND SIDE
COVERS” section in the CHAPTER 4.
2. Remove:
Carburetor
Refer to “CARBURETOR” section in
the CHAPTER 4.
Spark plug cap
Engine stay (upper)
Cylinder head cover
Refer to “CAMSHAFTS” section in the
CHAPTER 4.
3. Remove:

Float height
1. Measure:
Float height a
Out of specification → Adjust.
Float height:
8.0 mm (0.31 in)
Measurement and adjustment steps:
Hold the carburetor in an upside down
position.
NOTE:
Slowly tilt the carburetor in the opposite
direction, then take the measurement
when the needle valve aligns with the float
arm.
If the carburetor is level, the weight of the
float will push in the needle valve, result-
ing in an incorrect measurement.
Measure the distance between the mating
surface of the float chamber and top of the
float using a vernier calipers.
NOTE:
The float arm should be resting on the nee-
dle valve, but not compressing the needle
valve.
If the float height is not within specifica-
tion, inspect the valve seat and needle
valve.
If either is worn, replace them both.
If both are fine, adjust the float height by
bending the float tab b on the float.
Recheck the float height.
