ture is lean, replace it with larger one.

tem adjustment monitoring the air/fuel mixture con-
dition after completion of slow system settings.

adjusting the intermediate system.
3 Adjustment of intermediate system
Monitor the air/fuel mixture condition and adjust the
intermediate system by changing the needle clip
position.
4 Final adjustment of slow system
After a proper standard setting has been obtained
by the procedure
1 through
3, fine tune the carbu-
retor according to the actual race conditions.
1) Adjust the air/fuel mixture by turning the pilot
screw within 3/4 – 2 and 1/4 turns back.
2) If the mixture can not be adjusted by the pilot
screw within 3/4 – 2 and 1/4 turns back range,
