this operation is liable to damage the jet orifice
with 3 Consequently adverse efiect on performance
and consumption.
It is rare that the main jet will become choked.
There is, however. a very small hole in the float
chamber cap K, between the gauze filter L. and the
float needle valve.
It is much more likely that
stoppage of this hole may be the cause if petrol
starvation is experienced.
Clea: by similar action
to that advised for the main jet, and in addition,
carefully dry out the filter chamber below the
gauze filter in cue water has accumulated above
the feed hole.
WICO-PACY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.
DESCRIPTION.
This Flywheel Ignition Generator Unit embodies
two assemblies, namely the flywheel and the stator
which carries the ignition coil. lighting coil, contact
breaker unit and condenser.
The cam is fitted on
to the crankshaft. located by a key and held in
position by the flywheel.
The ignition unit provides a. high performance
spark output over a. very wide range of speeds.
about 9.000 volts being obtained, at only 350 r.p.m_
n'sing to 12,000 volts at 6,000 r.p.m., and it has
been found possible to maintain a large enough air
gap between rotor and stator to ensure a trouble-
lree system.
A characteristic of the magneto is that its spark
output will not vary over a. wide timing range, thus
rendering frequent adjustment of the contacts un-
necessary. 3an at the same time allowing a fair
tolerance for the accuracy of the setting. A further
feature of the magneto are the accessibility and
ease of adjustment of the contact breaker without
the necessity of removing the flywheel.
