Carburetor adjustment
Basic information on the original carburetor setting
The original carburetor setting was adapted for an altitude of approx. 500 meters (1600 ft.) above sea level, and the ambient
temperature of approx. 20° C (68° F), mainly for off-road use and central European premium-grade fuel (125: ROZ 98 / 200: ROZ 95).
Mixing ratio 2-stroke motor oil : super fuel 1:40.
Basic information on a change of the carburetor setting
Always start out from the original carburetor setting. Essential requirements are a clean air filter system, air-tight exhaust system
and an intact carburetor. Experience has shown that adjusting the main jet, the idling jet and the jet needle is sufficient and that
changes of other parts of the carburetor will not greatly affect engine performance.
RULE OF THUMB:
high altitude or high temperatures
➞ choose leaner carburetor adjustment
low altitude or low temperatures
➞ choose richer carburetor adjustment
WARNING
–O
NLY USE PREMIUM
-GRADE GASOLINE (125: ROZ 98 / 200: ROZ 95) MIXED WITH HIGH-GRADE TWO-STROKE ENGINE OIL. OTHER TYPES OF
GASOLINE CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE
, AND USE OF SAME WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY
.
–O
NLY USE HIGH-GRADE 2-STROKE ENGINE OIL OF KNOWN BRANDS.
–N
OT ENOUGH OIL OR LOW-GRADE OIL CAN CAUSE EROSION OF THE PISTON. USING TOO MUCH OIL, THE ENGINE CAN START SMOKING AND FOUL
THE SPARK PLUG
.
–I
N THE CASE OF A LEANER ADJUSTMENT OF THE CARBURETOR PROCEED CAUTIOUSLY. ALWAYS REDUCE THE JET SIZE IN STEPS OF ONE NUMBER TO
AVOID OVERHEATING AND PISTON SEIZURE
.
NOTE: If despite a changed adjustment the engine does not run properly, look for mechanical faults and check the ignition system.
Basic information on carburetor wear
As a result of engine vibrations, throttle valve, jet needle, and needle jet are subjected to increased wear. This wear may cause
carburetor malfunction (e.g., overly rich mixture). Therefore, these parts should be replaced after 10 000 kilometers (6 000 miles).
Explanation - Example
Compared to the needle NOZ D, the jet needle NOZ F is two steps
leaner in the range from the closed position of the throttle to 1/4
throttle. Otherwise, there are not differences.
Explanation - Example
Compared to the needle R 1467D, the jet needle R 1469D is two steps
leaner in the range from the closed position of the throttle to 1/4
throttle. Otherwise, there are not differences.
