ENGINE
Carburetor setting
The 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
making it impossible to bring the engine into
full play or if the worst comes to the worst,
the engine may stall.
The richness of the air-fuel mixture required
for the engine will vary with atmospheric con-
ditions of the day and therefore, the settings
of the carburetor must be properly suited to
the atmospheric conditions (air pressure,
humidity and temperature).
Finally, the rider himself must make a test
run and check his machine for conditions
(pick-up of engine speed, road surface con-
ditions) and for the discoloration of the spark
plug(s).
After taking these into consideration, he must
select the best possible carburetor settings.
* It is advisable to make a note of settings,
atmospheric conditions, road surface condi-
tion, lap-time, etc. so that the memorandum
can be used as a reference useful for future.
Atmospheric conditions and carburetor
settings
The air density (i.e., concentration of oxygen
in the air) determines the richness or lean-
ness of the air/fuel mixture. Therefore, refer
to the above table for mixture settings.

This should be taken simply for an example. It
is necessary to set the carburetor while check-
ing 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, pilot jet
and pilot air screw.

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 carbu-
retor settings and changing the heat range of
spark plug.
In principle, it is advisable to first use spark
plugs of standard heat range, and judging
from the discoloration of spark plugs, adjust
carburetor settings.
If 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:
When checking the discoloration of spark
plugs, be sure to stop the engine immedi-
ately after a run and check.
Avoid racing.
When changing the heat range of spark
plugs, never attempt to change it more than
±1 rank.
When using a spark plug other than stan-
dard, check its heat range against the stan-
dard and check that it is a resistance type.
Note that even if the discoloration seems
proper, it may slightly vary with the spark
plug maker and oil in use.Standard spark plugBR10EG/NGK
