When  the machine is despatched  from the Factory the Carburettor has been correctly

set,  but  if  the  machine  is  used  under  varying  atmospheric  conditions,  slight  adjustments

may  be  necessary.  In  the  first  case  if  starting  is  difficult  and  the  Engine  refuses  to  " idle  " 

evenly,  slowly  screw  the  Pilot  Air  Adjuster  inwards,  but  if  on  the  other  hand  the  Engine  is

inclined to " eight stroke  " at  slow speeds, screw the Pilot Air Adjuster out until this disappears,

A point  worth  mentioning  about  starting is that  the Throttle  Stop  (illustration)  should  be  set

so  as  to  lift  the  Throttle  Slide  slightly  off  its  seat,  the  twist  grip  can  then  be  left  in  the

"  closed  "  position  when  starting  the  Engine.  The  next  adjustment  is  carried  out  by  fitting

a  throttle  Valve  with  a  different  cut-away.  If  when  opening  the  Throttle  spitting  back

through the  Carburettor,  or  misfiring  occurs,  this  indicates  a  weak mixture.  To correct this

fit  a Throttle Valve  with  a  smaller cut-away.

Black  smoke  from  the  exhaust  or  "eight  stroking"  at  low-intermediate  Throttle

openings  indicates  richness, fit a  Throttle  slide  with  a  larger  cut-away.

As a guidance each throttle Valve is stamped with two numbers.  The first indicating

the  type  of  Carburettor,  and  the  latter  indicating  the amount  cut-away  from  the  intake side

of the  valve  in  sixteenths  of  an  inch.  Thus—6/4,  is  a  type  6 Valve  with ¼ in.  cut-away.

The  necessity  for  alteration  to  the  needle  position  may  be  checked  in  the  following

way;  Start  the  Engine  and  open  the  air  lever  to  its  fullest  extent,  open  Throttle  control

half  way  and  notice  whether the  exhaust  note  is  crisp  and  the  Engine  lively,  then  close  air

lever  slightly,  if  this  results  in  increased  Engine  speed  raise  the  needle  to  the  next  position

in the  throttle valve.  On the  other  hand,  if the Engine speed  does  not increase  when the air

lever  is  closed  to  about  half  way  and  the  throttle  opening increased,  or  if  any  tendency  to

" eight  stroke "  occurs,  then  lower  the  needle  to  the  next  position in  the  throttle  slide.  To

alter the  needle  position  pull  away  the  small  spring  clip  locating  the  needle  in the Throttle

Valve  and afterwards  force  this home  again.  For  a  Semi-Automatic  setting where  the Rider

intends  to  use  the  Air Lever  judiciously and  studies  extreme  economy,  lower the  needle one

groove  further after carrying out  this  range of  tests.  For speed  work,  the Main Jet size may

be  increased  by  10%  as  the  air  lever should  always  be  full  open  on  full  throttle openings.
