lever just far enough to engage it; about 1/4 of its travel. The standard Russian position for starting the sidecar motorcycle is standing on the passenger peg on the right foot, and stepping down on the kickstarter with the ball of the left foot. Take up the slack in the throttle until you can feel some slight resistance from the return springs in the carburetors.
Page 18
Cold Engine, Warm Day When the engine has been standing for several hours but the ambient temperature is high (60°F or above), it will probably start without enrichment. If it doesn't fire, use one of the following procedures. Cool Engine, Cool Day When the engine is cool or cold and the ambient temperature is between 40-60 F, pull out both enricheners.
Page 19
WARNING: When shifting to lower gears with the motorcycle in motion, do not downshift at speeds higher than those listed in the table. Shifting to lower gears when speed is too high may severely damage the transmission or cause the rear wheel to lose traction. Shift to neutral before shutting off the engine.
Page 20
During the running-in period, a new motorcycle requires the most careful attention. In the course of this period, do not overload the machine, avoid traveling on freeways and climbing steep upgrades. Do not race the engine or allow it to overheat at any time. Pay special attention to lubrication of the engine.
1.4 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Although some parts may fail suddenly, most parts degrade gradually and troubles that develop over a period of time tend to go unnoticed by the owner. The engine may gradually lose power as the cylinders lose compression. Oil and fuel consumption gradually increase. Noises gradually get louder. Seals may start to weep oil, or hoses begin to disintegrate.

Operational Testing and Measurement A mechanic experienced with the URAL should be able to quickly determine the condition of an engine by feeling for hot spots, listening for abnormal noises and knocking of a running engine using a stethoscope and for condition of running gear by observing coasting ("free-wheeling") distances.
Page 25
Engine performance can also be measured by a brief maximum speed test on a section of straight, level pavement. A URAL , equipped with a sidecar, in good condition should easily maintain over 55 mph / 90 kmph. As a comparison, if coasting distance is shorter than normal, that indicates problems such as dragging brakes, dragging clutch, worn wheel bearings, final drive bearing failure or sidecar out of alignment.

1.5 General Dismantling And Repair Techniques When it has been determined that a component needs repair, try to remove the minimum number of parts and assemblies necessary to determine the specific problem and solve it. Certain components can be partially dismantled while still on the motorcycle. For example, the cylinder heads can be removed without taking off the cylinders.
Page 37
Standard automotive and aviation gasket compounds, lubricants, and sealants may be used on URAL components in lieu of the specified Russian products, unless otherwise noted. Stripped threads in housings may be repaired with metric coil-type thread inserts. Metric fasteners are readily available in the USA at hardware and auto parts stores.

Clutch lever (16). When the clutch lever is squeezed, the clutch is released - the engine is disengaged from the gearbox. When the lever is released, the clutch is engaged and the engine is connected to the gearbox. The clutch allows manual selection of gears in ascending or descending sequence. WARNING: Both the clutch and front brake levers are capable of contacting the handlebar grip, depending on adjustment.
Page 46
WARNING: An improperly adjusted rear brake pedal could contact the exhaust system and interfere with proper rear brake operation. An improperly adjusted rear brake push rod could cause dragging brakes or interference between brake pedal and exhaust system. The ignition lock (19) has three fixed positions of the key.

Repairing the clutch and brake control levers and cables Check the condition of control cables at every service of the motorcycle. Even if a single wire is found broken or the cable armour is damaged (seizing, extension, etc.) replace the cable. If the end ball of the control cable is disturbed (the tip slips off the cable), solder a new tip on, spreading the cable end wires apart prior to soldering to ensure the wires jam into the hole.
2.3 Front Fork and Suspension Two different types of front suspension are available. The telescopic fork and the leading link type ("lever type"). Both types are carried in the steering head on ball bearings. Telescopic Fork The telescopic front fork is equipped with inside springs and double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers.

2.5 Brakes The motorcycle is equipped with shoe type brakes on both motorcycle wheels and the sidecar wheel. The brake drums are integral with the wheel hubs. Each brake drum cover supports the shoes and actuation levers. All brakes are the same overall diameter, so all wheels are interchangeable. NOTE: When removing brake shoes make sure that they are replaced in the exact position they came from.
Page 59
Figure 2.5-2 Sidecar Wheel Brake The front wheel brake (Fig. 2.5-1) has double leading shoes actuated by separate cams. Tie rod (11) of the upper and lower levers of the brake is factory-adjusted to length so as to equalize the brake cams. To return the levers to their initial position when the brake lever is released, a spring (9) is installed on the bottom lever.
Page 60
Proceed to adjustment of the foot brake starting from the rear wheel, having first slackened the nut on the tie rod of the sidecar wheel brake. Then adjust the sidecar wheel brake by tightening the nut on the brake tie rod. After the foot brake has been adjusted properly, back up the nut on the tie rod of the sidecar wheel brake by 2 - 3 turns so as to preclude a sideways deflection of the motorcycle on braking.
Page 62
Tires are tube-type, using an inner flap between the spokes and inner tube to protect the tube from damage. Rim locks are not used in the stock configuration. Care should be taken to keep tires properly inflated. See Specifications, for correct cold tire inflation pressures. WARNING: Improper tire inflation will cause abnormal tread wear and could result in unstable handling.
Page 63
To remove the rear wheel: 1. Set the motorcycle on the stand, raising it up on blocks of wood to provide more clearance. 2. Remove the cotter pin of the axle slotted nut, unscrew the nut, loosen the axle clamp bolt on the left-hand side of the swing arm and remove the axle together with the protective cap.
Page 64
tires that have been tested by the manufacturer to ensure compliance with DOT requirements are available from Ural dealers. When tires are worn to a tire center tread depth of 3/32 in., they should be replaced. Correct tire inflation data can be located on the sidewall of the tires mounted on your particular model of URAL.
Page 65
WARNING: Do not use excessive pressure to seat a reluctant tire bead. Tires and wheel rims can suddenly explode if inflated beyond recommended pressures. A tire should seat with normal pressures when lubricated. If the tire does not seat, deflate it, check that the inner tube or rim flap are not captured under the tire bead, especially near the valve stem, and lubricate the bead again before inflating.
Page 66
2. Check bearing clearance by rotating and attempting to rock the axle. The axle should be free to rotate, with no noticeable play or abnormal noises. To adjust, unscrew the locknut and readjust it. CAUTION: Over-tightening of bearings or excessive bearing play will lead to premature wear of bearings.
2.7 Fenders All three URAL fenders ("mudguards") are of heavy gauge formed steel. Removal and attachment should be obvious. Dented fenders may be hammered straight and repainted, using standard automotive techniques, although it may be more economical to simply replace the fender. When installing fenders, ensure that all fasteners are snug, to ensure that a fender does not drop down and jam into a tire during motorcycle operation.
Page 69
1. Remove the bolt at location #1 (one on each side of the headlight) which holds the headlight assembly to the fork covers. 2. Place the chrome mounting bracket on the outside of the painted fork covers, position slot #1 over location #1. 3.
3.1 Description and General Specifications The URAL sidecar is a large diameter tubular steel frame with a trailing link swing arm wheel suspension, to which is attached a body. The sidecar is rigidly attached to the motorcycle by two lower ball/collet clamps, and two upper adjustable struts ("legs").
3.2 Installation and Removal To detach the sidecar: 1. Set up the motorcycle on the stand. 2. Disconnect the plug-and-socket connector leading to the sidecar lamps. 3. Undo the nuts of upper bolts fastening the sidecar frame tie-rods to the motorcycle and extract the bolts.
3.3 Sidecar Alignment The sidecar must be aligned in a definite position relative to the motorcycle. The sidecar wheel is angled slightly towards the front of the motorcycle, and the motorcycle itself must be leaned out, away from the sidecar (Fig. 3.3-1). An incorrectly aligned sidecar will drag the motorcycle to either side , which not only makes the combination difficult to handle, but also causes excessive tire wear.
Page 74
1 lean out Adjust leanout by easing off torque on the lower collet bolts, loosening the lock nuts on the upper struts (the two inclined legs), removing the upper strut attachment bolts, and screwing the forked clevises in or out. NOTE: When making either toe-in or lean-out adjustments, make corrections in small increments, then...
NOTE: Weight of the driver and sidecar passenger affects leanout, so lean-out must be adjusted according to the typical load that will be carried on the motorcycle. For example, ° if a heavy load is usually carried in the sidecar a slightly larger lean out (say 2-3 ) may be preferable.
3.5 Suspension The sidecar wheel is carried on a forked trailing link swing arm, supported by a hydraulic shock/spring. The swing arm pivots in rubber "silent block" bushings attached with long bolts ("pins"). No servicing or lubrication of the swing arm is required, except for the shock absorber.
NOTE: If there is excessive play between the brake housing and torque tab, the brake will self-actuate when the sidecar rolls backwards. A metal shim can be fabricated to take up the play and prevent this reaction, if it the operator finds it an annoyance. 3.6 Sidecar Body The sidecar body is easily removed from the frame for repairing either the body or sidecar frame.
3.7 Handling Differences Between Single Wheel Drive & Dual Wheel Drive The driven sidecar wheel makes the Sportsman less likely to pull right when accelerating and left when decelerating. Turning left, especially when accelerating from a stop, is easier, since the driven sidecar wheel helps to pull the sidecar forward. Turning to the right from a stop is more difficult than the single wheel drive, since the driven sidecar wheel doesn’t create a drag to the right when accelerating.
3.8 Driven Sidecar Wheel The URAL Patrol final drive is not exactly the same as the Sportsman final drive. Unfortunately at this time, drawings of the Patrol final drive are not available. For this reason the following description of the Sportsman final drive is included in this manual to acquaint the owner with the general principals of the final drive mechanism.
Page 81
The Sportsman is different from the standard single-wheel-drive Tourist motorcycle (IMZ-8.103-40A) by changes to the following units: A. motorcycle final drive B. rear wheel swing arm C. sidecar swing arm and hub D. addition of sidecar drive shaft and universal joints E.

1. Remove the nut from the cover together with the sun gear and seal. 2. Tap lightly to remove the differential body with seal from the cover. 3. Remove the epicycle gear with two sets of rollers and seal and spacer from the case. 4.
3.9 Fender The sidecar fender is a formed steel assembly, with a wiring trough on the inside to protect electrical wiring. Light assemblies bolt to the fender at the front and rear. Light bulbs can be changed by removing the plastic lenses. Bulbs are standard automotive.
Engine 4.1 Description and General Specifications The motorcycle is equipped with a twin cylinder overhead valve four stroke carbureted air-cooled engine. The horizontally opposed cylinder arrangement provides excellent engine balance, as well as better air cooling of cylinders and heads. Overhead valves are actuated by pushrods.

The engine has both splash and pressure lubrication. Critical parts are pressure lubricated by a mechanical oil pump. (Figure 4.3-1) A full-flow replaceable oil filter is provided in the lubrication system to prolong the engine service life. The crankcase serves as the oil reservoir for the engine. The single-stage oil gear pump (24) is driven from the camshaft through a gear and connecting bar (2).
4.2 Repair Information and Service Limits The repair of components which can be removed without removing the engine is covered in the appropriate sections. For inspecting or repairing internal engine components such as the camshaft or crankshaft, it is necessary to remove the engine from the frame.
4.3 Cylinder Heads and Valves Valves are carried in the cylinder head by replaceable guides. Export model URAL have special cast iron guides. Exhaust valves and intake valves are of different diameter. Figure 4.3-1. Engine Valve Timing Gear 1 - Push rod 13 - Lower retainer 2 - Push rod housing 14 - Outer valve spring...
Page 91
Valve Adjustment It is very important to adjust the valves properly. Valves are adjusted to provide the correct clearance with a cold engine. The clearance should be 0.002 in / 0.05 mm. In service, clearance will change due to bedding-in of parts. It is important to re-adjust the clearances after running in, following grinding or partial disassembly of the valve mechanism.
Page 92
4. Set the crankshaft at TDC (top dead center) so that both valves of the cylinder are closed, using either the kickstarter to turn the crankshaft, or crank handle tool 345- 316-3 if the gearbox has been removed. 5. Undo the fastening nuts and remove the rocker arms together with rockershaft brackets.

Page 94
machine with a centering chuck to fit the valve stem for the purpose. In grinding take off only as much material as needed to remedy the defect. The cylindrical bead on the edge of the valve head should be no thinner than 1 mm. Measure the side play between the valve stem and the guide with the help of an indicator, the feeler pin of which should rest against the valve stem end with the valve moved 3/16 inch / 4 mm off the seat (Fig.
Page 95
If the valve seat cannot be restored to correct dimensions by grinding or is loose or damaged, change the valve seat as follows. Using the set of tools 345-326-3, 345-570-3 and 061-10 thread the valve seat bore, heat the cylinder head to 390ºF/200ºC, screw in the puller and press out the valve seat (Fig. 24).
Page 96
3. Remove the minimum amount of metal from the working chamfers to prolong the service life of the valve. Towards the end of the lapping process reduce the amount of grinding compound and then lap with clean oil only. 4. Once a uniform dull-gray color (with no black spots) is obtained on the contact areas of the valve and the seat, the lapping is considered satisfactory.

NOTE: The normal service life of the piston rings usually exceeds 30,000 km of operation, provided that the motorcycle is maintained properly. Incorrect replacement of piston rings brings about wear of the Fig. 4.4-1. Pressing-out the Piston Pin rings and cylinder walls and will increase formation of carbon in the piston...
Page 102
Before checking pistons and rings for wear, decarbonize thoroughly and wash the piston rings. Inspect and measure the piston rings: • for side clearance between ring and piston groove • at several points around the ring for thickness ("height") • in the most worn-out points on the ring circumference for ring width ("radial width") Replace the piston ring if: 1.
Page 103
clearance of .003 to .004 inch / 0.08 to 0.10 mm measured between piston skirt and cylinder bore. Whenever changing pistons, both pistons should be compared for balance. Piston Pin Inspect the outside surface of the piston pin to reveal scratches, dents, metal (bronze) flashes, and taper.
Page 104
Caution: The hot piston cools off quickly, and can seize the pin before it is fully centered between the circlip grooves. Never attempt to drive the pin into position with force. Only very light taps against the mandrel are permissible in order to adjust the position of the pin between circlip grooves.
Camshaft servicing requires removal of engine from frame. Tappets may be removed with the engine installed. Removing and Reinstalling the Camshaft (With the timing covers, generator, both cylinders and all tappets removed.) Required tools are: • backlash indicator 450-182 for measuring the backlash between the teeth of timing drive gearing •...
Page 106
When inspecting the gears, whether used or new, pay special attention to the condition of their teeth faces, as even slight burrs and dents on a tooth will lead to noisy operation. Burrs and dents should be smoothed with a fine stone. If timing gears are out of tolerance, preference should be given to replacement of both gears as a set, as a gear set is selected at the Manufacturing Works (by the sound of their running).
Page 107
NOTE: Mark the tappets and the guides when removing them, so that each tappet and guide can be reinstalled in the same position. Having dismantled the parts, wash them, inspect, and make the required measurements. If necessary, change worn out parts. Check the camshaft contact faces of the tappets for wear or pitting, and check for cracks in the points where the tips are pressed-in.
4.6 Oil Pump and Delivery Removing and Reinstalling the Oil Filter To remove the oil filter from the distributor box cover, unscrew the filter plug and take off the filter together with the by-pass valve. Remove the filter from the plug end. Wash the parts, inspect them and change the oil filter, as required.
Page 109
CAUTION: Make use of tapered tip 345-317-3 (Fig. 4.5-1); when mounting the timing cover, so as to preclude any damage to the seal lip. Oil pump servicing When overhauling the engine or when oil pressure is abnormally low, check and repair the oil pump.
Page 110
Oil lines In the course of total or partial dismantling of the engine, especially when reassembling, pay attention to correct mating of the oil ducts and clean them properly. Also see that the gaskets do not overlap the holes, the joints are tight with no leaks of oil. In the event of total dismantling of the engine, check to reveal porous spots and pitting in the oil line of the engine crankcase.

5.3 Shift Mechanism Adjustment Shifting problems can often be traced to incorrect shift mechanism adjustment. Before removing a gearbox for service, first adjust the mechanism. To prepare the motorcycle for adjustment of the gear shift mechanism (shift quadrant), put it up on the center stand on top of a flat block of wood, so that the rear wheel can rotate freely.
Page 128
wrench stops moving further after the “click” is felt. At this point you have correctly adjusted the stroke of the shift pedal for shifting from a lower gear to a higher gear. If you feel no click at all, this means that the shift pedal stroke is too small. You should screw out the lower adjusting screw, still pressing the rear of the pedal shift and continuing to rock the wheel until you feel a definite “click”.
5.4 Gearbox Removal and Installation Tools: • Crank handle 345-316-3 • Tool 345-429-3 Gearbox removal without removing the engine from the motorcycle: 1. Remove the air cleaner and the battery. 2. Disconnect the adjusting bolt of the clutch control cable from the clutch engaging lever at the gearbox.
5.5 Gearbox Disassembly and Reassembly Removing and Reinstalling the Clutch Release Mechanism (with the gearbox removed from the motorcycle) To remove the clutch release mechanism, remove the clutch release arm (if need be): 1. Pressing on the front end of the clutch release rod, remove the clutch release slider, the thrust ball bearing, the rod tip and finally the clutch release rod.
Page 131
Repairing the Speedometer Drive Proceed with inspection and repairs, when wear of teeth becomes obvious (the speedometer fails to operate even when the flexible shaft is intact) or in case of dismantling the gearbox in general. When repairing, change worn-out parts, paying attention to ease of rotation of the gearing and proper backlash in the toothing (with the flexible coupling flange stopped in any position, the driven gear should display a slight side play in the gearing).
Page 132
The mechanism thus removed should be washed and examined. If any damage or defects are revealed, disassemble it, repair and reassemble. Reassembly of the Gear Case Cover To reassemble the gear shift mechanism: 1. Place home the gear case cover with the split joint upwards. 2.
5.6 Repairing The Gearbox Assembly Units and Parts Proceed with repairs when dismantling the gearbox in general or there are problems in shifting the gears. The general view of the gear shift mechanism is shown in Fig. 5.1-5.

Page 137
Center-punch the pawl axle at both sides in two opposite points. Insert the shaft bushing pin with its thin end on the opposite side of the pawl and press it flush with the bushing. Make sure that once the shaft is reassembled, the gear turns freely on the shaft, and the pawl tooth fits securely into the gear ratchet tooth.
Page 138
10. Fit the bushing with spring on the kickstarter shaft and insert it into the gear case hole, making sure the end of the spring is captured by the bushing pin. 11. Using wrench 36X41 wind the spring counterclockwise by two-thirds of a turn, then align the holes and turn in the screws.
Clutch 6.1 Description and Specifications The clutch is a dry, double disc assembly, operated by a release rod extending through a central hole in the primary ("clutch") shaft. When the clutch release rod is relaxed, springs push the clutch discs together and connect the flywheel to the clutch shaft through splines in the shaft hub.
6.2 Clutch adjustment The clutch control lever (located left of the handle bar) should have approximately 1/4 inch (5 - 8mm) free play, measured at the lever end. The normal play of the lever ensures full engagement and disengagement of the clutch. If there is not enough play, the clutch may slip under load.
6.4 Clutch Repairs To remove the clutch discs: 1. Insert a screwdriver into the slits of screws fastening the clutch pressure plate and with light blows of a hammer against the screwdriver butt end knock off the metal flashes from the screw slits. 2.
Repair If scores or dents are evident, change the clutch disks. When the holes in the intermediate driving disk are worn in excess of 1 mm, bore and ream new holes .48 to .49 in. dia. / 12.5 to 12.53 mm at a spacing angle of 30 degrees to the former ones. When the wear of the clutch pins exceeds .040 in / 1.0 mm, replace the pins as follows: 1.
Drive Shaft and Final Drive 7.1 Description and Specifications Power is delivered from the gearbox to the rear wheel by a drive shaft ("propeller shaft") and final drive with bevel gears. The drive shaft is connected to the gearbox via a flexible rubber collar that helps dampen torque impulses and a universal joint to allow suspension travel of the rear wheel (Figure 7.1-1).
The final drive is a cast housing containing a helical bevel gear set that turns the rear wheel at a lower speed than the shaft. The casing also serves as a backing plate for the brake shoes, an oil reservoir and a support for the right-hand end of the rear wheel axle. The casing has an oil drain hole at the bottom that is blanked off with a plug.
7.4 Removing and Reinstalling the Rear Swing Arm (rear wheel and final drive removed) To remove rear swing arm: 1. Undo top and bottom bolts securing shock absorbers and remove them. 2. Unbend the tabs of the "shakeproof" lock washers at the swing arm pivots and screw out the pins.
Page 146
2. Lay the fork on the hand press and press out one of the needle bearings, until the universal joint cross thrusts against the fork. The opposite needle bearing cap will protrude partially out of the fork. 3. Clamp the protruding portion of the bearing in a vice and remove it. 4.

Electrical 8.1 Description and Specifications The electrical equipment of the motorcycle includes power supplies, auxiliary instruments, horn, lights, ignition, and electric wiring. Electric power is supplied from a storage battery and an alternator with a built-in voltage regulator. A single-wire negative-ground system is employed for wiring the electric circuits. (i.e.
Page 154
At least once monthly, check the charge of the storage battery. If it is low, recharge overnight with a 2A charger. Every 20,000 km, clean the alternator cover cavity at the slip rings end. Then blow through the alternator with compressed air to remove brush and copper dust.
8.3 Battery Battery Maintenance Keep the battery clean in service and lightly coat terminals with petroleum jelly or battery terminal lubricant to prevent corrosion. Do not over tighten terminal connections. The battery case can be cleaned with a solution of baking soda in water, which will help neutralize any acid residue.
Page 156
dilute the electrolyte, but will corrode anything near or under the vent tube. To prevent battery case damage and possible explosion caused by pressure build-up, be sure the vent tube is properly routed and not kinked or obstructed when it is installed on the motorcycle.
Page 157
Charge with 2 A current until gassing is evident in all the cells. Continue charging for 30 min. to ensure complete mixing of electrolyte, then disconnect the charger and let the battery sit for 30 min. Check the level of electrolyte after charging and top up as needed with distilled water only.
Page 158
Note: The easiest method to maintain the battery is to attach an automatic trickle charger which can be left attached to the battery full time during lay up. Battery Testing When there is a question about the suitability of a used battery for further service or whether an electrical problem is being caused by the battery or the charging system, the battery should be checked for ability to accept and hold a full charge.
8.4 Alternator The alternator with built-in voltage regulator is turned by the engine camshaft driven gear. The field is excited by battery voltage. The alternator is rated at 14V, 35 Amps. Actual output is electronically regulated and nearly independent of alternator rotation speed.
Page 160
After installing the alternator, it must be adjusted for correct mesh of the drive gears: 1. Rotate the alternator clockwise to the stop (as viewed from the rear) then rotate it back .12 - .15 in / 3 to 4 mm (measured at the outer diameter of the alternator frame). 2.
8.5 Ignition IGNITION SYSTEM The ignition system incorporates the power supplies, ignition coil, moving coil pickup, electronic amplifier, two spark plugs, a set of low and high voltage wires and the ignition switch. A contactless ignition system with electronic ignition timing is used. The ignition coil has two high voltage terminals, each supplying one of the cylinder spark plugs and operating in conjunction with the moving coil pickup.
Page 162
The ignition system incorporates the power supplies (storage battery and alternator), low voltage wiring, main switch, ignition coil, contactless timing sensor, electronic amplifier, high voltage wires and spark plugs. See Figure 8.1-1. The contactless ignition system (BC3) with electronic ignition timing is interchangeable with the mechanical points/coil system which is no longer available from the factory.
Page 163
Spark plugs US import URAL s have been EPA certified and delivered with NGK BP7HS plugs or Nippondenso W22FP-U plugs. In certain situations such as cold starting, the plugs can quickly foul with carbon or soot. The engine should not be run on a fouled plug. The plugs can be cleaned, but it is easier to put in a new set of plugs when on the road.
8.6 Lights The lighting equipment installed on the motorcycle is listed in Table 8.6-1. Table 8.6-1. List of Lighting and Light-Signal Equipment Equipment Type Purpose of lamp Type of lamp bulb Lamp power, W. Headlamp Far reaching and bright light UA-H6024 45+40 Speedometer...
8.7 Horn The motorcycle is equipped with a horn which sounds when ignition is on and the horn button is pressed. The horn can be adjusted with an adjusting screw located at the rear portion of the horn body type C205B. Horn A single electric horn is activated by a push button on the left handlebar grip.
8.9 Wiring, Switches, Fuses, Connectors Refer to Appendix # 1. Electrical wiring on the URAL is of adequate quality, but connections may come loose or corrode, even on new motorcycles. When any circuit does not function correctly, visually inspect wire runs to ensure that there are no shorts to the frame, and check the related fuses, switches and connectors.
Fuel, Carburetion, Air Intake, Exhaust 9.1 Description and Specifications Fuel is gravity-fed to the carburetors through a manual valve in the bottom of the tank and via hoses. Carburetors are Keihin Seiki CVK type, with separate enrichment circuits for cold starting. Engine air intake is through a central air filter to flexible intake tubes ("pipes").
9.3 Carburetors For US import models, the current carburetors for 650 cc machines are dual Keihin Seiki 32 CVK -type carburetors, which have been certified for compliance with US EPA requirements. NOTE: Technical information concerning the Keihin Seiki carburetor is proprietary, and alteration of the carburetor system in any way would violate the E.P.A.

Table 9.3-1. Carburetor Troubleshooting Chart PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIONS Hard starting Incorrect use of enrichener Correct use of enrichener Clogged fuel filter. Clean filter. Clogged low speed fuel jets. Disassemble carburetor and chemically clean. Clogged vent in fuel tank cap. Unclog vent or replace cap.
9.4 Air Filter The air cleaner and intake pipes help remove airborne dust from intake air, and meter air intake for engine starting. The air cleaner is a single-stage paper element filter. The air drawn in from the outside through a paper filter before passing to the carburetors. Air Cleaner Maintenance As the air cleaner gets contaminated, its flow and filtering capacity is impaired.
9.5 Exhaust Pipes & Mufflers Most current URALs use separate exhaust pipes (“headers”) for each cylinder, with a separate muffler (“silencer”) on each side. Some models (e.g. Patrol) and earlier models use a two-into-one system, with a single muffler on the right side. The two-into-two system uses a crossover (“connecting”) pipe between the two mufflers.
