Repair instructions Function The carburettor operates differently in the following modes: • Cold start mode • Idling mode • Part throttle mode • Full throttle mode n the cold start mode (see figure) the choke valve (H) is fully closed. This increases the vacuum in the carburettor so that fuel is sucked more easily from all the diffuser jets (D, E and F).
Page 35
Repair instructions Dismantling the carburettor 1. Dismantle the cylinder cover and the air filter. 2. Loosen the bolts (A). 3. Loosen the filter holder from the rubber moun- tings (B). (see figure 29) Fig 29 4. Loosen the suction hose (C) and return hose (G) from the fuel pump.
Page 36
Repair instructions 8. Dismantle the cover (A) on the metering unit and carefully remove the control diaphragm (B) with gasket. 9. Dismantle the screw (F) and lift out the jet valve (E) with lever (D), shaft (G) and spring (H). 10.
Page 37
Repair instructions Cleaning and inspection 5. That the tips of the high (N) and low jet screws (P) are not damaged. (see figure 31) Clean all units in clean petrol. 6. That the intake manifold is undamaged. Use compressed air to dry the petrol on the com- 7.

Repair instructions Assembly Maintain a high level of cleanliness when assem- bling the carburettor. The slightest contamination can result in running problems. 1. If the throttle and choke valves, together with levers and springs were removed, they should be refitted. The spring is tensioned 1-2 turns. Lubricate the shaft bearings with light oil.
Page 39
Repair instructions Pressure testing the carburettor Pressure testing should be carried out with the car- burettor fully assembled. Testing should always be carried out after the carburettor has been repaired, but it can also be carried out as trouble shooting before dismantling the carburettor.

Repair instructions 4. Pump 3 times. 5. After pumping the indicator should stop at max. 7 kPa. Assembly 1. If the throttle lock has been removed, this must be assembled before the tank unit and engine unit are assembled. 2. Lift the engine unit above the tank unit and in- sert the fuel hoses (in J), return hose (in H)and throttle cable (in G) in the bottom of the carbu- rettor compartment.
Repair instructions 7.19 Replacing the fuel filter NOTE! Do not use knurled pliers to disconnect or reconnect the fuel hose. This could dam- age the hose and lead to leakage or frac- ture. First remove the old fuel filter from the tank unit using special tool 502 50 83-01.
Repair instructions 7.22 Piston and cylinder – removal The fuel tank does not need to be removed when removing the cylinder. Remove: • cylinder cover • carburettor (see “Carburettor – removal”) • silencer • spark plug Undo the four cylinder bolts from the underside and lift the cylinder off carefully.
Page 46
Repair instructions Check the following: • The surface coating of the cylinder is not worn through, especially in the upper part of the cylinder. • The cylinder is free from score marks and areas of wear. • The piston is free from score marks. Small scratches can be polished out with fine emery paper.
Repair instructions Faults and causes Score marks on the piston (A) 1. Incorrect carburettor setting. Too high over- speed. 2. Too low octane fuel. 3. Too low or incorrect oil in the fuel. Carbon build-up (B) 1. Incorrect carburettor setting. Too low over- speed.

Repair instructions Inlet manifold The intake system has two intakes. 1. The lower intake leads the fuel and air mixture from the carburettor to the cylinder. 2. The upper intake leads air to the cylinder. Assembling the intake system Assemble the carburettor ange (D) and air ange (C) on the intake bellows (A).
Repair instructions 7.24 Cylinder – pressure testing Remove: • cylinder cover • carburettor • spark plug Attach both the pressure testing covers. (see figure Loosen the screws on the muf er and press the Fig 61 rubber sheet 502 54 11-02 between the muf er and cylinder.
