CHOKE OPERATION
This model's choke system uses a fuel enriching cir ­
cuit controlled by a SE valve.
The SE yalve opens the enriching circuit via a cable
when the choke knob on the left side of the frame is
pulled out.
Check for smooth operation of the SE valve knob.
Check for any deterioration or damage to the SE
valve cable.
If the operation is !'lot smooth, lubricate the SE valve
cable and SE valve knob sliding surface with a com­
mercially available cable lubricant or a light weight
oil.
To adjust the friction, pull the rubber cover away
and tu rn the adjuster.
Starting enrichment system operation can be
checked by the way the engine starts to runs:
• Difficulty in starting before the engine is warm
up (easy once it is warmed up): SE valve is not
completely opened.
• Idle speed is erratic even after warm-up (imper ­
fect combustion): SE valve is not completely
closed.
When the above symptoms occur, inspect the SE
valve using the following procedure.
Remove the carburetor (page 6-7).
Loosen the SE valve nut and remove it from the car ­
buretor.
