FUEL AND LUBRICATION SYSTEM DIAPHRAGM AND PISTON OPERATION The carburetor is a variable-venturi type, whose venturi cross section area is increased or decreased automatically by the piston according to the vacuum present on the downstream side of the venturi. Vacuum is admitted into the diaphragm chamber through an orifice provided in the piston. Rising vacuum overcomes the spring force, causing the piston to rise to increase the said area and thus prevent the air velocity from increasing.
Page 101
FUEl AND LUBRICATION SYSTEM SLOW SYSTEM This system supplies fuel during engine operation with throttle valve closed or slight opened. The fuel from float chamber is metered by pilot jet where it mixes with air coming in through pilot air jet.
Page 102
FUEL AND LUBRICATION SYSTEM MAil\! SYSTEM As throttle valve is opened, engine speed rises, and this increases vacuum in the venturi. Consequently the piston valve moves upward. Meanwhile, the fuel in float chamber is metered by main jet, and the metered fuel enters needle jet in which it mixes with the air admitted through main air jet to form an emulsion.
Page 103
FUEL AND LUBRICATION SYSTEM STARTER SYSTEM Turning the choke (or starter) lever allows starting plunger to draw fuel into the starter circuit from the float chamber. Starter jet meters this fuel, which then flows into starter pipe and mixes with the air coming from the float chamber.
Page 104
FUEL AND LUBRICATION SYSTEM FUEL SYSTEM When turning starter motor, negative pressure is generated in the combustion chamber. This negative pressure works on the diaphram of fuel cock through passageway provided in the carburetor main bore and vacuum pipe, and diaphragm builds up a negative pressure which is higher than the spring pressure. Fuel valve is forced to open due to diaphragm operation, and thus allows fuel to flow into carburetor float chamber.

EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION EMISSION CONTROL CARBURETOR COMPONENTS GSX 11 OOF motorcycles are equipped with precision, manufactured carburetors for emission level control. These carburetors require special mixture control components and other precision adjustments to function properly. There are several carburetor mixture control components in each carburetor assembly. Three (3) of these components are machined to much closer tolerances than standard machined carburetor jets.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IGNITION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The fully transistorized ignition system consists of a signal generator, ignitor, ignition coils, and spark plugs. The signal generator comprises rotor tip and pick-up coil. The signal generator is mounted at the right end of the crankshaft. The output of the signal generator goes to the ignitor unit, where it turns ON and OFF the transistor alternately.
