1.6 Decompression system
The automatic decompression system reduces the 
compression upon starting and hence the required 
pull on the starter rope.
Cam disk at low speed (starting):
. Decompression cam (1) projects and actuates 
the lever (2)
. This lengthens the valve opening time, which 
reduces the compression
Cam disk when the engine has started:
. The centrifugal mechanism retracts the 
decompression cam (1) – this cancels the effect 
of the decompression cam
1.7 Carburetor
. All-position diaphragm carburetor with 
independent idle
. The range of the high-speed adjusting screw (H) 
and the low-speed adjusting screw (L) is limited 
by limiter caps (approx. 3/4 turn). This limitation 
ensures greater operating safety and 
maintenance of future exhaust emission levels
. Accelerator pump for faster and spontaneous 
acceleration (see 5.3).
. Choke knob with integrated starting throttle 
position
1.8 Ignition system
. Microprocessor-controlled with ignition timing 
adjustment
. Low power-up threshold
1.9 Air filter
. Large-area paper air filter for long filter service 
life
. Easily accessible
1.10 Muffler
. Two-chamber muffler with spark arresting 
screen, depending on the market concerned.
1.11 Flywheel
. Weight-optimised geometry
