Recommendations
For trouble free installationand operation To startthe enginecold, crackthrottle with onehand"Note: do not twist throttle prllnp will flood the bike' With the otherhandpressthe repeatedly, the accelerator starterbuttoruyour enginewill fire immediately.Maintain approximatelya 2000 rpm idle with the handon the throttle for approximately 40 seconds thenrelease the throttle. The bike will drop into an 1150rpm idle. Note: no chokeis needed above45 degrees. Whenstoringyour bike for anyperiod of time over threeweeks,drain your fuel tank, including the reserve.Crankyour engineandrun the carburetordry then shutoffthe fuel valve. Follow yorn installationinstructionsin order andpay closeattentionto detail.Refer guidelineif any problemsare encountered. to our troubleshooting Use all the parts sentwith you kit. Even if you havenew sparkplWs alreadyin your bike. Use the plugs sentwith the kit. If you haveexperienced carburetorproblems, chances areyour plWs arenot all in the same condition Make sureall fuel in your gastank is drainedout andreplacedwith freshGas"if gas hasbeenin the tank for morethan tbreemonths"prior to introducingfuel to the carburetor. Note: Old fuel cancausesmoking,rough engineoperationandcause your enginenot to start.Also Damagecanoccurto the new carburetor.It will be worththe extratimeto replace the old fuel. Which evergradeof fuelyou choose is up to you. refer to the troubleshooting If anyproblemsare encountered, guide on our web site. This will be the most up to dateversionandwill most often take careof anyproblems you have. Do not operde the bike with the chokeon any longerthan necessary. "this is usually 40 seconds on very cold mornings" It is our recommendation to follow the OEM preventivemaintenance guidelines pertaining1sfiming belts.Note: if a bike hasbeensitting for years,the beltsmay needreplacingdueto beingstretched in oneposition for an excessive amountof time.
