When
the cutaway
of
the
throttle
valve
is
made
larger, the
neg-
ative
pressure
which works on the needle
jet
reduces,
and
the
fuel-air mixture becomes
lean.
When
the cutaway
of
the
throttle
valve
is
made
smaller, the
negative pressure which works on the
needle
jet
becomes rich.
The cutaways
are
prepared at intervals
of
0.5
m/m
alternately.
(Note) The adjustment
of
the opening
can
be
made
either
by

so
far
as

the
space
between the
jet
needle
and
the

jet
becomes smaller
and
the fuel-air mixture becomes
lean.
When

ture becomes rich.
