    SECTION 4 FUEL SYSTEM Special tools required in this section: • Metric Hand Tools • Carburetor Tool Kit Part No. CU40002 • Vacuum Pump • Choke Plate Angle Tool General Information Fuel Pump. A mechanical type fuel pump is installed to the cylinder head, and is driven by the fuel pump cam on the camshaft through a push rod, delivering fuel to the carburetor.
  • Page 32: Side View

    Carburetor, Main System. The fuel arrives at the carburetor bowl and is metered by the main jet. The fuel is mixed with air entering from the main air bleed. Fuel is then discharged into the small venturi from the main nozzle. See Figure 2.
  • Page 33 Carburetor, Acceleration Pump System. When the throttle is opened suddenly, the acceleration diaphragm is pushed by means of the pump lever. Then the fuel inside the acceleration pump is injected from the pump jet via the dis­ charge check valve. When the throttle valve is returned to the ori g inal position, the fuel in the float chamber enters into the acceleration pump via the check valve.
  • Page 34 Carburetor, Automatic Choke System. The automatic choke mechanism regulates the opening of the choke plate and throttle plate in accordance with the temperature of the coolant. This regulation is performed automatically, using wax pellet. See Figure 5. Wax adapter (wax sealed) Idle adjusting screw Choke breaker Pinion gear...
  • Page 35 Choke Pull-Off. The negative pressure of the intake manifold actuates the choke breaker diaphragm during a period immediately after starting. As a result, the choke valve is forcibly opened so as to prevent the fuel and air mixture from becoming too rich. A limiter provided between the intake manifold and the choke breaker prevents the choke valve from being opened too suddenly.
