Inspecting the automatic choke device
- Check that the piston of the automatic starter is
not deformed or rusty.
- Check that the piston slides freely from the seat
to the support.
- Check that the sealing gasket of the piston is not
deformed.
- The starter must be more or less functional de-
pending on the ambient temperature.
- Measure the protrusion of the piston as shown in
the figure and check the corresponding value.
- Make sure that the starter is adjusted for the am-
bient temperature.
- The starter should disconnect progressively by
means of electrical heating.
- Check the starter resistance when adjusted to the
ambient temperature.
With a 12V battery power the automatic starter and
check that piston protrudes as much as possible.
- The correct warm up time depends on the ambi-
ent temperature.
- If protrusion, resistance or timing values are dif-
ferent from the ones prescribed, replace the start-
er.
- Assemble the starter to the carburettor being
careful to position the O-Ring correctly, insert the
