Refer to the following table for pop-off pressure
specifications:
MODELS
POP OFF PRESSURE
min./max. kPa (PSI)
GTI and GTI LE 248/414 (36/40)
NOTE: Pressure test should be performed three
times to obtain a valid reading.
If pop-off pressure is not within specification,
check control lever adjustment. Replace spring
no. 14 as necessary.
CAUTI
ON: Do not stretch or cut spring.
Leak Test
Needle valve no. 3 must stand a pressure of
69 kPa (10 PSI) for 30 seconds. Otherwise, hold
carburetor upside down, pour oil over needle
valve and apply pressure.
Check for bubbles. If they come from seat or
O-ring, bubbles will exit around seat. Retighten
as necessary.
If it still leaks remove needle and seat and replace
O-ring.
If bubbles come from needle, replace needle and
seat.
Main Jet and Pilot Jet
Pilot jet no. 15 and main jet no. 16 are replaceable.
Different jet sizes are available to suit temperature
and altitude conditions. Always inspect spark plug
tip condition when dealing with pilot jet and main
jet. Spark plug tip condition gives a good indica-
tion of carburetor mixture setting.
CAUTION: Adjustments vary with temperature
and altitude. Always observe spark plug con-
dition for proper jetting.
NOTE: To have access to pilot jet no. 15 or main
jet no. 16, check valve housing must be removed.
