TUNING THE ENGINE
156
Info
If there is a large increase in the engine speed, reduce the idle speed to a nor-
mal level and repeat the above steps.
The extremely sporty rider will set the mixture about 1/4 of a turn back from this
ideal value (leaner, clockwise) since the engine has a higher operating tempera-
ture in sporting use.
If the procedure described here does not lead to satisfactory results, the cause
may be a wrongly dimensioned idling jet.
If you can turn the idle adjusting screw to the end without any change of engine
speed, you have to fit a smaller idling jet.
The idle adjusting screw must not be opened more than two turns. If more than
two turns are necessary (rich mixture), use a larger idling jet.
After changing the idling jet, start from the beginning with the adjusting steps.
