KEIHIN
TYPE FLOAT CARBURETOR
WITH BUTTERFLY THROTTLE
Carburetors are identified by a model
number which consists of a let
ter
prefix
"BD" followed by a
set
of numb
ers
such
as "44-38". First
par
t of number in-
dicates
thr
ottle bore (in millimeters) and
second p
art
of number indicates venturi
diameter.
ADJUSTMENT
FLOAT
LEVEL.
Float is adjusted by
bending metal
tang
between float body
(16-
Fig. 14A) and float pin (17). As
shown in Fig. 14B, distance (D) should
be 0.48-0.67 inch when carburetor is
tilted
~t
a 20-30 degree angle.
IDLE
SPEED.
Idle speed is adjusted
by turning screw
(8-Fig
. 14A). Idle
speeds vary from model to model, con-
sult respective manufacturer specifica-
tion for recommended speed setting.
IDLE MIXTURE. Idle mix
tur
e ae
justment is done by turning sere.
(6- Fig. 14A).
Start
engine and bring u
to normal operating temperature. Tur
screw either in (lean) or out (rich) to ot
tain an even engine idle. Readjust idl
speed to recommended setting
after
idl
mixture is
set
.
MAIN
JET.
To insure top p
erf
orn
ance of engine, main jet
(13-Fig
. 14
..1
may need to be changed if there is :
2000 feet change in altitude or an
1:
degree F change in temperature. Whe:
altitude or weather temperature if
creases a lower number of
jet
should b
used. Whenever altitude or weathe
temperature decreases a larger numbe
of
jet
should be used. Caution should
b.
taken especially when operating at .
lower altitude, too lean of fuel mixtur.
could shorten engine life.
