4.3.4. CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC STARTER
• Check that the automatic starter piston is not scored or
oxidized.
• Check that the piston can run smoothly into its mount.
• Check that the piston seal is not out of shape.
• The starter must be switched on and off depending on
the room temperature.
• Measure the piston jut, as shown in the figure, and
check the corresponding value.
• Make sure that the starter is set to room temperature.
Jut value: 12.5 ÷ 13 mm at about 20°C
• The starter will have to switch progressively off by
means of the electric heating.
• Check starter resistance with the starter set to room
temperature.
Resistance: about 30 ohm
• Using a 12 V battery, feed the automatic starter and
check that the piston reaches max. jut.
Max. jut: 18.5 ÷ 19 mm
Max. time: 5 min
• Heating real time depends on room temperature.
• In case of juts, resistances or times different from the
recommended ones, change the starter.
• Fit starter to carburetor. Take care to correctly position
the OR-seal, install the knurled plate on the starter,
and tighten the two screws (1).
• Aim the starter as shown in the figure.
• Fit the protective cover.
