Page 57
FLOAT SYSTEM The float system is consists of a float and a needle valve, and maintains a constant fuel level during engine operation. The fuel flows from the fuel tank into the float chamber through needle valve. When the fuel rises to a specific level, the float rises, and when its buoyancy and fuel pressure are balanced, the needle valve closes to shut off the fuel, thereby keeping the fuel at the predetermined level.
8. ELECTRIC SYSTEM OPERATION AND FUNCTION The ignition system is pointless flywheel magneto with automatic advancing characteristic. Being different from the breaker point type ignition system, this system is completely free from such troubles as starting-up failure owing to dirty, burnt or corroded point surface. The electronic automatic advancing ensures extremely easy starts and stable high performance at operating speed by advancing the ignition timing to the most suitable point.
(3) At higher engine revolution, the advancing control circuit operates at the ignition timing to run the base current I to turn the signal transistor B "ON" allowing the current I to bypass as current I At this moment the power transistor turns "OFF" and the current I is abruptly shut resulting in the high voltage generated in the secondary coil which produces sparks at the spark plug.
ELECTRIC STARTER When key switch is turned ON, lower electric current (M ) flows through coil of magnetic switch and the coil is excited. The plunger is pulled and higher current (S ) flows through electric starter. When electric starter is operated, pinion gear is pushed out by means of centrifugal force of weight located in the spline of armature shaft.

9. TROUBLESHOOTING The following three conditions must be fulfilled for satisfactory engine start. (1) The cylinder filled with a proper fuel-air mixture. (2) Good compression in the cylinder. (3) Good spark, properly timed, to ignite the mixture. The engine cannot be started unless these three conditions are met. There are also other factors which make engine start difficult, e.g., a heavy load on the engine when it is about to start at low speed, and a high back pressure due to a long exhaust pipe.
