FUEL COCK
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the tank to
carburetor while filtering the fuel. The fuel cock
has the two positions:
OFF: With the lever in this position, fuel will
not flow. Always return the lever to this
position when the engine is not run-
ning.
ON: With the lever in this position, fuel
flows to the carburetor. Normal riding is
done with the lever in this position.

STARTER LEVER (CHOKE)
When cold, the engine requires a richer air-
fuel mixture for starting. A separate starter cir-
cuit, which is controlled by the starter lever 1,
supplies this mixture. Push the starter lever
out to open the circuit for starting. When the
engine has warmed up pull it in to close the
circuit.
EC15V011
TACHOMETER
A stepping motor type tachometer with greater
accuracy and response is provide for the
tachometer 1. This tachometer features the
following:
Sweeping:
Moving the main switch to “RUN”, the
tachometer hand sweeps widely once over the
tachometer face and then returns to the zero
position, as initial operation. This is called
“sweeping”. When the engine is started during
sweeping, the tachometer indicates the cor-
rect revolutions after sweeping is over.
Out-of-step indication:
If this tachometer is subjected to impact, etc, it
may allow its hand to point to the position b
stepping out of the position a where the hand
should be for correct indication. This is called
an “out-of-step” indication. A similar phenom-
enon may take place when the main switch is
moved to “OFF” during sweeping or at high
rpm (as in a plug chop) or while the machine
is transported, though it never happens in nor-
mal riding.
