Carburetor
It is essential that the carburetor be kept free from impurities. For
this reason a filter, 10, is provided in the carburetor feed pipe connec
tion. This filter should be inspected regularly and cleaned whenever
necessary as should also the jets. The design of the Solex carburetor
allows the removal of all jets, except the idling air jet, without
dismantling. Positions and designations of the jets are shown in
figs. 6 and 17. It is important that carburetor* adjustments are
carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations,
otherwise the proper function of the carburetor and thereby the
engine operation may be impaired. Wrong carburetor adjustment
may cause abnormal fuel consumption and rapid wear of the engine.
