compressed air.

9. Install the carburetor onto the motorcycle.
CAUTION:
The motorcycle will only operate properly if the carburetor top is installed properly
with the mounting screws, cable and choke knob oriented as shown in figure 45.
Reeds
•
The reeds must lay flat on the reed cage.
•
If the reed tips aren’t lying flat, replace them immediately.
•
The reeds must have a tight seal on the reed cage.
•
If the reed is damaged in any way, replace it. This means cracks, chips,
and ruptures. Anything abnormal, replace the reeds.
Take the reed cage out and hold it up to the light and look in through the cage. If
you see light between the reed pedals and the frame, then replace the reeds. If
you do not see light, then the reeds should be ok.
Exhaust
The pipe is a crucial element to a motorcycle. Any kinks, dents, or damage done
to the pipe will result in a major performance loss.
NOTE:
Be sure to take the pipe off, and any carbon that may be built up.
Carbon build up is created from exhaust. Exhaust has oils in it, and the oils cling
to the walls of the inside of the pipe. Over a long period of time, the diameter of
the pipe will decrease, due to carbon build up. So it is essential to clear the
residue.
CAUTION:
It is important to repack the silencer. Signs of your silencer needing to be
repacked are:
•
The bike is louder than normal.
•
A loss of power.
