GENERAL INFORMATION
The engine is equipped with a float bowl type carburetor with fixed jets that require no adjustment. The car-
buretor atomizes the fuel, mixes it with air, and feeds the combustible mixture into the cylinder.
CARBURETOR
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
Before suspecting the carburetor as the cause of poor engine performance, make sure the fuel and ignition
systems are in proper operating condition. Check the following items:
• Spark plug and gap condition. See Spark Plug Cleaning, Inspection and Repair, Section 13,
Page 13-2.
• Air filter element. See Air Filter on page 14-11.
• Fuel filter. See Fuel Filter on page 14-14.
• Choke and air intake system (for restriction of air flow). See Choke and Air Intake System on
page 14-9.
• Fuel pump. See Fuel Pump on page 14-15.
• Fuel lines (from fuel tank to filter to pump to carburetor). See Fuel Lines on page 14-21.
• Exhaust system (for restrictions). See Section 15 – Exhaust System.
If the carburetor floods or leaks fuel at the float bowl gasket or carburetor vent tube, the fuel inlet valve could
be worn or dirty. Another cause of this condition may be a damaged float that has filled with fuel and sinks.
For elevations above 3000 feet, main jets other than standard operate more effectively. The following chart
lists the elevation ratings for various jet sizes. No adjustment is required for the pilot jet. If the vehicle idles
roughly, turn the pilot air screw out until the vehicle idles smoothly.
