TYPE 61T CARBURETTOR
The sequence in which these controls are
adjusted is explained in the succeeding
sections, under Starting, Running-in and Idle
Adjustment.
The Needle Valve
When set to produce maximum power at full
throttle, this establishes the basic fuel/air
mixture strength. The correct mixture is then
maintained by the carburetor's built-in
automatic mixture control system to cover
the engine's requirements at reduced throttle
settings.
The Mixture Control Valve
This meters fuel flow at part-throttle and idle
speeds to ensure reliable operation as the
throttle is opened and closed. The Mixture
Control Valve is factory set for the
approximate best result. First run the engine as
received and readjust the Mixture Control Valve
only if necessary.
Two mixture controls are provided on this
Carburetor.
