2 EMISSION ADJUSTMENT GUIDE
2-1 General adjusting rules
Before starting the unit for adjustment, check the following items.
1. The correct spark plug must be clean and properly gapped.
2. The air filter element must be clean and properly installed.
3. The muffler exhaust port must be clear of carbon.
4. The fuel lines, tank vent and fuel filter are in good condition and clear of debris.
5. The fuel is fresh ( > 89 octane : RON) and properly mixed at 50 : 1 with “ISO L-EGD”2 stroke oil.
2-2 Presetting idle adjust screw, L mixture needle and H mixture needle
1. Turn L mixture needle (A) clockwise until lean
stop to cut and remove easily.
2. Using a sharp knife, give triangle cut between
the stopper wings. Also cut the H limiter cap (B).
NOTE : Be careful when cutting caps, otherwise
injury may result.
3. Pull the caps off with pliers.
NOTE : Do not rock back and forth when removing,
otherwise the needle may be damaged.
4. Turn H and L mixture needles clockwise until
lightly seated.
NOTE : Do not over tighten needles, otherwise
needles tip and seat damage may occur.
5. Turn L mixture needle anticlockwise 1 1/2 turns.
Turn H mixture needle anticlockwise 1 1/2 turns.
6. Turn idle adjust screw (C) anticlockwise and set
the screw until the tip to just contact throttle plate.
Then turn it clockwise 2 3/4 turns.

2-3 Adjusting carburettor
1. Start engine and warm it up well for about 3 - 5
minutes with cycle of 5 seconds at WOT (Wide Open
Throttle) and 10 seconds at idling.
2.Adjust L mixture needle and obtain maximum idle
speed with 2.5 mm wide blade head screw driver
(D).
3. Set idle speed to 3,800 r/min by turning idle adjust
screw.
4. Turn L mixture needle anticlockwise to reduce
idle speed 1,000 r/min to set idle speed in the range
of 2,600 to 3,000 r/min.
NOTE : Engine speed must be allowed to stabilize
a minimum of 20 seconds after each adjustment of
L mixture needle to assure accurate tachometer
readings.
5. Turn H mixture needle clockwise to maximum
WOT engine speed then turn the H mixture needle
clockwise further until engine speed drops 100 to
200 r/min.
6. Immediately return the H mixture needle
anticlockwise to obtain maximum WOT engine
speed with smooth and clear engine sound. Then
turn the H mixture needle anticlockwise 1/8-1/4 turn
further.
7.After adjusting carburettor, install Red limiter cap
on H mixture needle and White limiter cap on L
mixture needle to the rich side stop as shown.
NOTE : Before installing limiter caps, warm caps in
90 °C hot water for smooth installation. Make it sure
to use pliers or appropriate instrument to take
warmed up cap out from the water.

2-3 Adjusting carburettor (Continued)
8. Press respective limiter caps to the bottoms using
bar tool like T hex. wrench (E).
IMPORTANT : The limiter caps must be installed
on L and H mixture needles to comply with Emission
Directive.
9. Start engine again and make it sure engine runs
in the range of 2,400 to 3,200 r/min at idling and the
range of 7,900 to 8,500 r/min at WOT. Also make it
sure cutting device would not turn at engine idle
speed and suitable acceleration.
NOTE : Initial carburettor setting (Idle adjust screw,
L and H mixture needles) shown here is to start the
engine after restoration or carburettor change. Idle
adjust screw, L and H mixture needles turn for
designated engine revolution through procedures
indicated here may vary. As long as idle and WOT
engine speed is set in given range, the variance
would be ignorable.
