Idle range A
Operation with the throttle slide closed. The range is influenced by the adjustment
screw
and the idle air adjusting screw
.
Transition range B
Behavior of the engine when the throttle slide is opened. This range is influenced by
the idling jet and the shape of the throttle slide.
If the engine stutters and smokes heavily when the throttle slide is opened despite a
good idle and part-load setting, and if it achieves full power abruptly at high engine
speeds, the carburetor setting is too rich, the float level is too high or the float needle
valve is not tight.
Part-load range C
Operation with the throttle slide partially opened. This range is influenced by the jet
needle (shape and position). In the lower range, the engine tuning is influenced by the
idle setting and in the upper range by the main jet.
If the engine stutters when accelerating with the throttle slide partially opened, the jet
needle must be lowered by one step. If the engine knocks during acceleration when
it reaches full power engine speed, the jet needle must be raised. If the behavior
described above is exhibited while in idle or just above idle, the idle system must be
run leaner if there is stuttering and richer if there is knocking.
Full-load range D
Operation with the throttle slide fully opened (full throttle). This range is influenced by
the main jet and jet needle.
If the insulator of a new spark plug is very light or white after riding full throttle for a
short period, or if the engine knocks, a larger main jet needs to be used. If the insula-
tor is dark brown or sooty, a smaller main jet needs to be used.
