2.2.1. Carburetor Body
The carburetor body is a magnesium alloy casting with a system of fuel and air passages (Ref, Fig. 2).
Located at the left side of the body (on the emblem side) is a pressure regulator fuel chamber; the link
mechanism chamber, idle needle space and fuel valve apace are at the right side.
The link chamber and the air filter space are located at the front. Arranged in the rear part of the body are the
space of the mechanical acceleration pump, fuel filter space and fuel inlet boss.
The spaces and chambers are externally defined by flanges with holes for attachment screws of the appropriate
covers.
The carburetor barrel is bored at the middle part of the body throughout its height. The barrel is made as a
hollow cylinder.
The body top and bottom is defined by flanges. Attached to the upper flange by four studs is the carburetor
adapter; a protective strainer is secured to the lower flange.
Brass bushings are screwed into the threaded holes of four bosses on both flanges. To preclude turning, each
bushing is locked by two brass cylindrical pins.
