FLOAT LEVEL CHECK
Remove the carburetor from the vehicle
after following the procedure for emptying
the carburetor bowl.
Remove the bowl and place the carburetor
as in the fi gure.
Start turn it in anticlockwise direction and
stop immediately when the fl oat assy closes
the fuel valve needle.
The fl oat level is correct if the plan surface
over the fl oat assy is parallel to the fl oat
chamber division plan. See the two red
lines in the picture.
ATTENTION: It’s important to avoid putting
carburetor in vertical position, otherwise
the weight of the fl oat assy compresses
the spring into the fuel valve needle and
the position will look incorrect.
Replace the bowl to the carburetor.
Reassemble the carburetor to the vehicle,
making sure to tighten the metal clamps
on the sleeves.
WARNING:
before starting the vehicle to check for play
on the throttle (page 29).
