Carburetor setting
•The air/fuel mixture will vary depending on
atmospheric conditions. Therefore, it is nec-
essary to take into consideration the air pres-
sure, ambient temperature, humidity, etc.,
when adjusting the carburetor.
•Perform a test run to check for proper engine
performance (e.g., throttle response) and
spark plug(-s) discoloration or fouling. Use
these readings to determine the best possi-
ble carburetor setting.
NOTE:
It is recommended to keep a record of all car-
buretor settings and external conditions (e.g.,
atmospheric conditions, track/surface condi-
tions, lap times) to make future carburetor set-
ting easier.
WARNING
The carburetor is a part of the fuel line.
Therefore, be sure to install it in a well-
ventilated area, away from flammable
objects and any sources of fire.
Never look into the carburetor intake.
Flames may shoot out from the pipe if the
engine backfires while it is being started.
Gasoline may be discharged from the
accelerator pump nozzle when the carbu-
retor has been removed.
