Carburetor Cleanliness - O.S. engine MAX-15CV-R Series Owner's Instructions Manual

CARBURETOR CLEANLINESS

The correct functioning of the carburetor depends on its small fuel orifices remaining clear.
BALL LINK AND SLIDE VALVE EXTENSION
(In case of the 10C caburettor)
It is seldom necessary to separate the slide-valve
extension from the slide-valve itself. For cleaning,
withdraw this complete sub-assembly from the
carburetor body after removing the slide-valve guide
screw. Then wash with methanol or glow-fuel.
(Note: take care not to lose the guide screw;it is a
special one.) When it is necessary to adjust the ball-
link position, loosen the ball-link retaining screw with
a 2.5mm hexagon key, re-align the ball-link and re-
tughten the screw firmly.
REALIGNMENT OF MIXTURE CONTROL VALVE
In the course of making carburetor adjustments, it is
just possible that the Mixture Control Valve may be
inadvertently screwed in or out too far and thereby
moved beyond its effective adjustment range.Its basic
position can be found by first rotating the Mixture
Control Valve until its slotted head is flush with the
carburettor body. The valve is then screwed in exactly
2.5 turn to re-establish its neutral position.
