Models fitted with a cable
operated oil pump
Note: Generally speaking, all 100 cc models
and 50 cc models manufactured before 2000
are fitted with a cable operated pump; all
other models are fitted with a centrifugal
pump. A quick visual check will confirm which
pump is fitted to your machine.
6 There should be no discernable freeplay in
the cable from the splitter to the carburettor
(see illustration).
7 Remove the air filter housing (see Chapter
4) and pull back the boot on the cable adjuster
on the top of the carburettor.
8
Screw the adjuster into the top of the
carburettor to create a small amount of
freeplay in the cable, then screw the adjuster
out until the carburettor slide just begins to
lift. Now turn the adjuster in a quarter turn
(see illustration). Refit the boot and the filter
housing.
9 Check the adjustment of the oil pump cable
(see Section 1 3).

1 A routine check of the engine oil system will
ensure that any problems are discovered and
remedied before the engine is damaged.
2 Check the engine oil level (see Daily (pre-
ride) checks).
3 Check the operation of the oil level warning
light in the instrument cluster. The light should
come on temporarily when the ignition is first
turned on as a check of the warning circuit
and then extinguish. If the light stays on the oil
level is low and should be topped up. If the
light doesn't come on at all, check the bulb
and circuit as described in Chapter 9.
4 Remove the storage compartment (see
Chapter 7) and inspect the oil filter (see
