1.      Carburetor

The original WJ-65 carburetor 1122 120 0616
will be replaced by the WJ-69 carburetor
1122 120 0618. Limiter caps are fitted on the high

speed and the low speed screws of the new carbu-
retor to restrict the range of adjustment.

1.2    Standard setting

The machine comes from the factory with the opti-
mum carburetor setting and the limiter caps fitted                                    L
                                                            H
on the adjusting screws. This setting is exactly the
same as the standard setting described in chapter
"Adjusting Carburetor" in the owner’s manual (H =               270°           270°
3/4; L = 1/4 open - starting from the
lean stop in each case).

                                                                                          137TI034 KN
Corrections are possible only within the 270°
adjustment range permitted by the integrally mol-
ded stops in the bores.

This enables the mixture to made leaner for
operation at high altitudes, if necessary, and helps
prevent the mixture being enriched beyond EPA

emission limits.

Correction of carburetor setting for higher

altitudes
If the engine runs unsatisfactorily, slight readjust-
ment may be necessary:
• Check standard setting
• Warm up the engine
• Turn the high speed adjusting screw (H) and
     low speed adjusting screw (L) clockwise
     (leaner) -

>   If you make the setting too lean, the maxi-
mum permissible engine speed will be exceeded
and may result in engine damage.

1.3    Repair / servicing / basic setting

The limiter caps have to be removed to replace
the adjusting screws or clean the carburetor. Use

puller 5910 890 4500 for this purpose.

• Rotate limiter caps (adjusting screws)
      counterclockwise as far as stop.

• Screw puller into cap counterclockwise until
                                                                                          137TI035 KN

      cap comes off the adjusting screw.

>=

        The caps are damaged during the
      disassembly process and must not be
      used again.

      If the limiter caps are removed in the
      course of a repair, fit new caps after
      adjusting the carburetor as specified.

1.3.1 Basic setting (without caps)

After fitting the adjusting screws, carry out the ba-
sic setting:

• Starting with screws lightly
      against their seats:
      H =Open 1 full turn
      L =Open 1 full turn

1.3.2 Fitting limiter caps

•     >=

        Always fit new limiter caps.
• Insert the limiter caps in the bores as shown in

      the illustration - check correct position of lugs -         1
      see arrows.
•

      Push the caps on to the adjusting screws until
      they are flush with the insert (1).

                                                                              137TI036 KN
                                                                         LA

The position of the limiter caps (and the adjusting
screws) is exactly the same as the standard set-
ting (see 1.2).
1.3.3 Adjusting idle speed
• Set engine speed to 2,500 rpm with the idle
      >
      speed screw (LA).

          Use a tachometer.

1.4     Fuel (mix ratio)

EPA approval was obtained with a fuel/oil mix
ratio of 50:1.
No emission measurements are available for
other mix ratios.

2.    Grommet

Grommet 1122 123 7501, which guides the carbu-
retor screwdriver, will be installed together with the
new carburetor in place of the original grommet
1122 123 7500. The new grommet is shaped so
that fits into the recess (see arrow) and is then
flush with the limiter caps.

                                                                                    137TI037 KN
                                                                           H   L


3.    Cylinder with piston

Modifications to the cylinder ports (different timing)

have optimized the combustion process.
These measures, and the changes to the muffler
described in chapter 5, reduce emissions and en-

able the specified limits to be met.
Bore, stroke and mounting dimensions of the cylin-
der remain as before.

The part number of the cylinder with piston
has been changed from 1122 020 1210 to
1122 020 1211.                                                fo
4.    Filter cover

A filter cover with a different carburetor setting
symbol (H=3/4, L=1/4) will be installed as standard.

Replacement filter cover 1122 140 1002 will be

supplied without setting symbols in future.

5.    Muffler/gasket

The size of the exhaust opening in the lower ca-
sing has been reduced from 16 mm (0.63 in) to 11
                                                                       m

A new gasket 1122 149 0500 is fitted between the
muffler front and rear casings.

Service note

New mufflers (with smaller exhaust opening) may

only be used for machines with EPA approval.

The original mufflers should still be used in older
machines.

                                                                            137TI038 KN
A new gasket must be used whenever the upper
casing is removed.
