CARBURETOR INSPECTION

Check the following items for any damage or clogging.
* Pilot jet
* Main jet
* Main air jet
* Pilot air jet
* Needle jet air bleeding hole
* Float
* Needle valve
* Pilot outlet and by-pass ports
NEEDLE VALVE INSPECTION
If foreign matter is caught between the valve seat and the needle
valve, the gasoline will continue flowing and overflow. If the valve
seat and needle valve are worn beyond the permissible limits,
similar trouble will occur. Conversely, if the needle valve sticks,
the gasoline will not flow into the float chamber. Clean the float
chamber and float parts with gasoline. If the needle valve is worn,
as shown in the illustration, replace it along with a new valve
seat. Clean the fuel passage of the mixing chamber using com-
pressed air.
FLOAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To check the float height, turn the carburetor upside down. Mea-
sure the float height A while the float arm is just contacting the
needle valve using vernier calipers.
Bend the tongue as necessary to bring the float height A to the
specified level.
