Ignition system
The ignition system is a transistor-controlled
magneto system with the ignition timing set at
23° before top dead center. The magneto con-
sists of an ignition coil
(a) and flywheel (b) .
The flywheel (which also works as a fan) is
directly mounted on the crankshaft and the
ignition coil is directly mounted on the crank-
case.
Carburetor
The engine is equipped with a horizontal-draft
carburetor. The carburetor setting is calibrated
after careful testing for all-around perfor-
mance.
Air cleaner
The engine uses a dual-element air cleaner —
cover
(a) , primary dry-type sponge element
(b) , and secondary dry-type paper element (c) .
Balancer
The balancer cancels unbalanced inertia
forces. The balancer rotates at the same
speed as the crankshaft to effectively reduce
vibration.
