MAINTENANCE
(23) Check security of engine mountings
The engine and gearbox assembly is secured to the
sub-frame at three points.
1. Check tightness of front R.H. and L.H. attachment
nuts and bolts—16 to 20 lbf ft (2-2 to 2-8 kgf m).
2. Check tightness of rear attachment nut—20 to 24
lbf ft (2-8 to 3-3 kgf m).
(24) Check/adjust carburetter settings
Single carburetter
Start the engine and warm to normal running tempera­
ture as indicated by temperature gauge and push the
choke control fully home.
1. Ensure fast idling screw is clear of the cam.
2. Adjust idling screw to achieve an idling speed of
approximately 800 to 850 rev/min.
Should these adjustments fail to achieve satisfactory
results, refer to operation 19.15.01.
Twin carburetters
Start engine and warm to normal running temperature
as indicated by temperature gauge and push the choke
control fully home.
1. Remove air cleaner and ensure fast idling screws are
clear of cams.
2. Adjust the throttle adjusting screws to give an idling
speed of approximately 800 to 850 rev/min.
3. Using an air-flow meter, compare the carburetter
air intake intensity on both carburetters and alter
the throttle adjusting screws until the air flow is
the same.
4. If an air-flow meter is not available, use a length
of small bore rubber tubing and place one end in
each carburetter intake in turn and hold the other
to the ear. Adjust the throttle adjusting screws until
the intensity of the intake ‘hiss’ is the same in both
carburetters.
(25) Lubricate accelerator linkage/pedal fulcrum and check
operation
1. Using an oil can, lubricate the accelerator pedal
pivot, taking care to wipe away surplus oil to avoid
staining carpet.
2. Lubricate throttle linkage on carburetter(s) and
wipe away surplus oil.
