    4-10 FUEL AND LUBRICATION SYSTEM DIAPHRAGM AND PISTON OPERATION The carburetor is a variable-venturi type, whose venturi cross sectional area is increased or decreased automatically by the piston valve 1. The piston valve moves according to the negative pressure present on the downstream side of the venturi A.
  • Page 120: Slow System

    FUEL AND LUBRICATION SYSTEM 4-11 SLOW SYSTEM This system supplies fuel during engine operation when the throttle valve 1 is closed or slightly opened. The fuel from the float chamber 2 is metered by the pilot jet 3 where it mixes with air coming in through the pilot air jet 4.
  • Page 121: Main System

    4-12 FUEL AND LUBRICATION SYSTEM MAIN SYSTEM As the throttle valve 1 is opened, engine speed rises and negative pressure in the venturi A increases. This causes the piston valve 2 to move upward. The fuel in the float chamber 3 is metered by the main jet 4. The metered fuel enters the needle jet 5, mixes with the air admitted through the main air jet 6 and forms an emulsion.

    5-54 CHASSIS TIRE AND WHEEL TIRE REMOVAL The most critical factor of a tubeless tire is the seal between the wheel rim and the tire bead. For this reason, it is recommended to use a tire changer that can satisfy this sealing requirement and can make the operation efficient as well as functional.
  • Page 193: Tire Installation

    CHASSIS 5-55 NOTE: When repairing a flat tire, follow the repair instructions and use only recommended repairing materials. VALVE INSPECTION Inspect the valve 1 after the tire is removed from the rim, and replace the valve with a new one if the seal rubber has any splits or scratches.
