Carburetor setting
9The role of fuel is to cool the engine, and in the
case of a 2-stroke engine, to lubricate the
engine in addition to power generation.
Accordingly, if a mixture of air and fuel is too
lean, abnormal combustion will occur, and
engine seizure may result. If the mixture is too
rich, spark plugs will get wet with oil, thus mak-
ing it impossible to bring the engine into full play
or if the worst comes to the worst, the engine
may stall.
9The richness of the air-fuel mixture required for
the engine will vary with atmospheric conditions
of the day and therefore, the settings of the car-
buretor must be properly suited to the atmos-
pheric conditions (air pressure, humidity and
temperature).
9Finally, the rider himself must make a test-run
and check his machine for conditions (pick-up of
engine speed, road surface conditions) and for
the discoloration of the spark plug(s). After tak-
ing these into consideration, he must select the
best possible carburetor settings.
It is advisable to make a note of settings,
atmospheric conditions, road surface condition,
lap-time, etc. so that the memorandum can be
used as a reference useful for future.
EC712000
Atmospheric conditions and carburetor
setting
The reason for the above tendency is that the
richness or leanness of a fuel mixture depends
on the density of the air (i.e. the concentration of
oxygen in it).

That is:
9Higher temperature expands the air with its
resultant reduced density.
9Higher humidity reduces the amount of oxygen
in the air by so much of the water vapor in the
same air.
9Lower atmospheric pressure (at a high altitude)
reduces the density of the air.

Test run
After warming up the engine equipped with the
standard type carburetor(s) and spark plug(s),
run two or three laps of the circuit and check the
smooth operation of the engine and discoloration
of spark plug(s).

Clip position indicates the position of jet

The position is numbered from the top.
If a change in the clip position (1
groove) is effective, try another jet nee-

It is necessary to set the carburetor while
checking the operating conditions of the
engine and discoloration of spark plugs.
Normally, carburetor setting is made by
means of the main jet, jet needle clip position
(including one with 0.5 difference), pilot jet
and pilot air screw. If the result of setting is
still unsatisfactory, it is advisable to change
the diameter of the straight portion the jet
needle.
*In case of hard breathing, check the air vent hose for clogging.

Change of the heat range of spark plugs
Judging from the discoloration of spark plugs, if
they are found improper, it can be corrected by
the following two methods; changing carburetor
settings and changing the heat range of spark
plug.
9In principle, it is advisable to first use spark
plugs of standard heat range, and judging from
the discoloration of spark plugs, adjust carbure-
tor settings.
9If the calibration No. of the main jet must be
changed by ±30, it is advisable to change the
heat range of spark plugs and newly select the
proper main jet.
NOTE:
9When checking the discoloration of spark
plugs, be sure to stop the engine immediately
after a run and check.
9Avoid racing.
9When changing the heat range of spark plugs,
never attempt to change it more than ±1 rank.
9When using a spark plug other than standard,
check its heat range against the standard and
check that it is a resistance type.
9Note that even if the discoloration seems prop-
er, it may slightly vary with the spark plug
maker and oil in use.
