Pressure induced by heating of the cooling liquid in the cooling system is
controlled by a valve in the radiator cap

(see page 27)
; a water tempe-
rature rising up to 120° C (248° F) is admissible, without fear of problems.
Checking the cooling liquid level
The cooling liquid should be 10 mm (0,4 in) above the cooling elements
when the engine is cold (cf. diagram). In the event of the cooling liquid
being drained, always fill the system before hand, then top off while the
engine is running.

Adjust idling speed *
Use the adjusting screw
1
to adjust the basic position of the throttle valve
and, thus, the idle speed.Turning in clockwise direction will increase the
idling speed, turning in counterclockwise direction will reduce the idling
speed. Normal idling speed 1400 - 1500 rpm.
Adjusting the throttle cable *
A play of 3-5 mm must at any time be left in the throttle cables. To check
the play of the throttle cables, first push back the protective cap
2
on the
throttle twist grip. Now it should be possible to lift the outer sleeve of one
of the two cables 3-5 mm off the adjusting screw
3
before resistance is
felt. The play of the throttle cables can be adjusted, if necessary, using the
two adjusting screws.
For this purpose, undo counter nut
4
and turn the adjusting screw
3
until
the desired play is achieved. Then tighten the counter nut and replace the
protective cap.
Draining of float chamber of the carburetor
Following every wet-cleaning procedure, the float chamber of the carbure-
tor should be drained in order to remove any water that may have penetra-
ted into it. Water in the float chamber leads to engine malfunction.
– Wait until the engine is cold before commencing to perform the work-
steps indicated below.
– Close the fuel tap.
– Put the end of the hose
5
that leads downward behind the engine into
an appropriate container.
– Open the drain plug
6
, turning it counterclockwise a few times, and let
the fuel drain from the float chamber.
– Then tighten the drain plug and open the fuel tap.
