Remove screws from needle retaining plate to
withdraw the needle.
The position of the needle in the throttle slide is
adjustable by means of an E-clip inserted into 1 of
5 grooves located on the upper part of the needle.
Position 1 (at top) is the leanest, 5 (at bottom) the
richest.
NOTE:
The last digit of the needle identifica-
tion number gives the recommended posi-
tion of the E-clip
from the top
of the needle.

The size of the throttle slide cut-away affects the
fuel mixture between 1/8 to 1/2 throttle opening.
1. Low cut-away low
2. Rich mixture

The main jet installed in the carburetor has been
selected for a temperature of -20°C (0°F) at sea

perature and/or altitude changes. Always check
spark plug tip and/or piston dome color to find out
correct jetting.

float level proceed as follows:
– Make sure that float arm is symetric — not dis-
tored.
– Remove float bowl and gasket from carburetor.
– With carburetor chamber upside-down on a lev-
el surface, measure height H between bowl
seat and
top
edge of float arm. Keep ruler per-
fectly vertical and in line with main jet hole.
