It differs from previous YS Engines in that it does not use a high pressure fuel system but rather a true fuel pump. *Crankcase supercharging system unique to YS 4 stroke egines *Fuel injected *Convenient fuel pump adjustment *High horsepower output with long service life HIGH SPEED NEEDLE ADJUSTMENT Adjustment of the high speed is done by the carburetor needle valve. When the needle valve is turned clockwise, the mixture is leaner. When it is turned counter-clockwise, the mixture is richer. A good starting position for the high speed needle valve is 2 turns open from the fully closed position. At this setting the engine will be very rich and may die when you remove the glow driver. If this happens, turn the needle valve in 1/2 turn and try again. The final running setting for the high speed needle will be approx- imately 1 to 1-1/2 turns open from fully closed. 2 Whentheengineisstarted, openthethrottlegradually. Next, find thepeakposition(highestRPM)byadjustingtheneedlevalve. Then the needle valve should be opened approximately 1/8 _ 1/4 turns from full RPM to achieve best performance. 1 If for some reason you have to disassemble your engine, please follow these important steps on reassembling the cam gear. 1 Remove the carburetor and backplate assembly. Notice the impression mark or dot opposite the rod journal on the crankshaft. This mark is to point straight down or lined up with the outer case seam line at the bottom. 2 Reinstall the cam with the dot facing you and pointing slightly to the left. This will allow the cam to turn to the right when prop erly installed. The dot should be pointing straight up when cam is fully installed. Reinstall cam cover and timing is now set. GLOW PLUG Select the most appropriate glow plug from those designed specifically for 4 cycle engines. Glow plug selection greatly affects the maximum engine output and low idle. [. . . ] The adjustment is correct when low to high speed has a smooth transition.
