SETTING EC700000 TUNING EC710000 ENGINE EC711011 Carburetor setting • The role of fuel is not only to produce motive power but also to cool the engine and, in the case of a 2-stroke engine, to lubricate it. Therefore, too lean a mixture (of air and fuel) tends to cause an abnormal combustion (i.e., detonation), whereas too rich a mixture makes it difficult for the engine to develop its...

SETTING That is: • Higher temperature expands the air with its resultant reduced density. • Higher humidity reduces the amount of oxy- gen in the air by so much of the water vapor in the same air. • Lower atmospheric pressure (at a high alti- tude) reduces the density of the air.

SETTING Next run a few laps of the circuit with this setting and check for any difference in engine revolutions. If no difference is noticed, use a main jet with a much smaller calibration number. Example: #215 ≥ #210 Factory-set main jet #220 2.

SETTING Run a few laps of the circuit to check the engine for response to revolutions. On the other hand, if the use of a different jet needle appears to produce less power, change to a jet needle of a smaller size. Example:N8VW ≥...

SETTING 4. Adjustment of jet needle clip position Mid-open adjustment for the jet needle clip position 1 follows the completion of the adjustment of the jet needle. If the mixture is too rich or too lean in the mid-open posi- tion, irregular engine operation and poor acceleration will result.

SETTING EC71B030 Relationship with throttle opening The flow of the fuel through the carburetor main system is controlled by the main jet and then, it is further regulated by the area between the main nozzle and the jet needle. On the relationship between the fuel flow and the throttle opening, the fuel flow relates to the jet needle straight portion diameter around 1/8 throttle opening, whereas around 1/4 to 1/2...

SETTING 2. Pilot jet 1 The pilot jet is used in relation to the engine response at small throttle opening. This is changed when the jet needle setting is not enough. A larger size results in a richer mixture and a smaller size in a leaner mixture.

SETTING When the cylinder gasket is changed, measure the protruding (or sinking) amount of the piston above (below) the cylinder top and then change the cylinder gasket so that the follow- ing approximate relation can be achieved between the temperature and the piston pro- truding amount.

SETTING 2. Loosen the stand installation bolt 1, then rotate the dial gauge stand and set it close to the center of the piston. Tighten the stand installation bolt again. NOTE: Do not loosen the dial gauge installation bolt 2 while doing the above.

SETTING EC720000 CHASSIS EC72J001 Chassis setting How to go about setting the chassis • Measure the stroke of the front and rear sus- pension to get an idea of the operation. • If the time increases, the stroke increases. • If the tire grip becomes firmer, the stroke increases.

SETTING EC72M001 Tire and machine’s posture If a non-designated tire is used, the difference in radius between the front and the rear tire may affect the machine’s posture. To keep the machine in a proper posture, adjust the front fork top end or seat height. Basically, with a larger radius tire, lower the machine’s posture and vice versa.
