Carburetor Pilot Screw Adjustment
NOTE: The pilot screw is covered by a brass welsh
plug per EPA requirements. Removal will be
required to perform these procedures.
1.
Start the engine and warm it up to operating temperature
(about 10 minutes).
2.
With engine off, turn pilot screw in (clockwise) until lightly
seated. Turn screw out the specified number of turns.
NOTE: Do not tighten the pilot screw forcefully
against the seat or the screw and/or seat will be
permanently damaged.
3.
Connect an accurate tachometer that will read in increments
of + or - 50 RPM such as the PET 2100DX (
PN
8712100DX
) or the PET 2500 (
PN 8712500
). Start engine.
4.
Set idle speed to 1600 RPM.
5.
Slowly turn mixture screw clockwise using the pilot screw
or an appropriate sized screwdriver until engine begins to
miss.
6.
Slowly turn mixture screw counterclockwise until idle
speed increases to maximum RPM. Continue turning
counterclockwise until idle RPM begins to drop.
7.
Center the pilot screw between the points in Step 5 and 6.
8.
Readjust idle speed to specification.
NOTE: Always check throttle cable freeplay after
adjusting idle speed and adjust if necessary.
Idle Speed Adjustment
NOTE: Adjusting the idle speed effects throttle
cable freeplay and electronic throttle control (ETC)
adjustment. Always check throttle cable freeplay
after adjusting idle speed and adjust if necessary.
1.
Start engine and warm it up thoroughly.
2.
Adjust idle speed by turning the idle adjustment screw in
(clockwise) to increase or out (counterclockwise) to
decrease RPM.
Throttle Inspection
Check for smooth throttle opening and closing in all handlebar
positions. Throttle lever operation should be smooth and lever
must return freely without binding.
1.
Place the gear selector in neutral.
2.
Set parking brake.
3.
Start the engine and let it idle.
4.
Turn handlebars from full right to full left. If idle speed
increases at any point in the turning range, inspect throttle
cable routing and condition. Adjust cable tension as needed
until lock-to-lock turning can be accomplished with no rise
in engine rpm.
5.
Replace the throttle cable if worn, kinked, or damaged.
6.
Inspect ETC cover seal and switch cavity by removing the
cover. Verify that no dirt, water or mud is present.
