MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE 61
Carburetor - idle
400266-10
The idle setting of the carburetor has a big influence on the starting behavior, stable
idling and the response to throttle opening. That means that an engine with a correctly
set idle speed is easier to start than if the idle is set wrongly.
Info
The carburetor and its components are subject to increased wear caused by en-
gine vibration. Wear can result in malfunctioning.
The idle speed is adjusted with the adjustment screw
.
The idle mixture is adjusted with the idle mixture adjustment screw
.

ಥ Turn the idle adjusting screw
slowly until the idle speed begins to fall.
ಥ Note the position and turn the idle adjusting screw slowly counterclockwise until
the idle speed falls.
ಥ Adjust to the point between these two positions with the highest idle speed.
Info
If there is a big engine speed rise, reduce the idle speed to a normal level
and repeat the above steps.
The extreme sport motocyclist will set the mixture about 1/4 of a turn back
from this ideal value (leaner, in a clockwise direction) since the engine be-
comes hotter in sporting use.
If the procedure described here does not lead to satisfactory results, the
cause may be a wrongly dimensioned idling jet.
If you can turn the idle adjusting screw to the end without any change of
engine speed, you have to fit a smaller idling jet.
The idle adjusting screw must not be opened more than two turns. If more
than two turns are necessary (rich mixture), use a larger idling jet.
After changing the idling jet, start from the beginning with the adjusting
steps.
