Engines in this series are equipped with Keihin xed
main jet carburetors. CH18-740 engines use a one-
barrel carburetor. Most applications use a fuel shut-off
solenoid installed in place of fuel bowl retaining screw,
and also contain an accelerator pump. All carburetors
feature a self-relieving choke. CH750 engines use
a Keihin two-barrel carburetor on a matching intake
manifold.
