CHECKING THE SAFETY DEVICE FOR THE CHOKE
f (.X 2000 j :
1. Electrical components :
Disconnect the u blur )) lead feeding the thermal
switch (1) located on the water outlet duct on
the cylinder head.
Switch on the ignition.
Earth the lead from thermal switch ( 1) the relay ( 2 )
for the << WEBER 1) electro-valve ( 3) must operate.
Leave the thermal switch disconnected with the
lead insulated from earth.
Pull the choke knob. electro-valve (3) is supplied
by relay (2 ) and is closed by earthing via the choke
control.
2. Pneumatic components :
Disconnect from the air-supply valve ( 5) the
pipe (4) from the valve to the exhaust manifold.
Plug the pipe in order to avoid the exhaust pressure
deteriorating the end of the tube and the valve
Use the starter to rotate the engine.
In this position. the air pump (6 j must not supply
air through the previously disconnected opening in
the air supply valve ( 5)
CHECKING THE AIR INJECTION
Push back the choke
In this position. the air-pump (6 ) must supply air
through the previously disconnected opening in the
air-supply valve ( 5 1.
Accelerate the engine, and suddenly decelerate
The injection of air throuqh the opening must stop
for a short while.
Run the engine until the cooling fan ( or fans ) cut
in.
Pull the choke out : the air flow through the opening
in the air supply valve ( 5) must cease.
Push the choke in : the air flow must resume.
Connect to the air-supply valve ( 5) the pipe ( 4 )
