:
Push the ring (1) to the right and
pump air into the carburetor until
the pressure gauge (2) indicates
a pressure of about 0.8 bar
(80 kPa).
If this pressure remains constant,
the carburetor is airtight. However, if
it drops, there are three possible
causes:
1.
The inlet needle is not sealing
(foreign matter in valve seat,
sealing cone of inlet needle is
damaged or inlet control lever is
sticking). Remove to clean,
