7.2 Check and cleaning carburetor
Our suggestion is to check every 25 hours of use, the cleaning of the carburetor getting
off the two sides of the carburetor, figure 1.
Clean the carburettor case blowing (gently with pneumatics) in the zone pointed out by
the circle and removing every small residue, figure 1-2.
Before getting off the carburetor analyzed well how the components are mounted. Effect
these operations with appropriate tools and in a perfectly clean bench or table.
Also the conditions of the membranes of the carburetor can be verified, show in figure 1.
The substitution of the membranes (possible to purchase a kit that includes all the
membranes and the gaskets carburetor) must be done after 100 hours of use or once for
year.
After some months the membranes of an unused motor can become stiff to contact with
the gasoline or can bend in the normal use, losing their peculiarity to oscillate and to
pump, not guaranteeing the correct operation of the carburetor/motor.

7.3 Reed valve
The control of the reed valve can be effected after 25 hours of use therefore at the same
time of the carburetor cleaning. It will be enough to get off the plate that contains the
reed valve and to check that the petals are not broken or splintery. The substitution of
the petals is suggested at about 100 hours of use.
When the substitution will be done, watch out for to position of the petals that will have
to be adherent to the surface of support. We also recommend every 100 hours to
replace the gaskets of the reed valve that become stiff after time in contact with the
fuel.
