MAIN
SYSTEM
The main system feeds the fuel to the engine at medium- and high-speed operation.
The fuel is metered by the main jet and fed to the main nozzle. The air metered by the main air jet
is
mixed
with the fuel through the bleed holes
in
the main nozzle, and the mixture is atomized out
of
the main bore.
It is mixed again with the air taken through the air cleaner into an optimum fuel-air mixture, which is sup-
plied to the engine.

CHOKE
The choke is used for easy start in the cold season. When the starter
is
operated with
a
closed choke, the
negative pressure applied to the main nozzle increases and draws much fuel accordingly; thus easily start up
the engine.

DISASSEMBLY
and
REASSEMBLY
Apart from mechanical failures, most of carburetor troubles are caused by an incorrect mixing ratio, which
may arise mainly due to a clogged up
air
or
fuel passage
in
jets, or fuel level variations.
In
order to assure pro-
per flow of
air
and fuel, the carburetor must be kept clean at all times. The carburetor disassembly and re-
assembly procedures are
as
follows: (See Fig.
