KTM 300 MXC (2002) - OPERATING RANGES OF THE CARBURETOR - 2

text_image Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with numbered components, likely for automotive or automotive maintenance.

Idling range A

Operation with closed throttle valve. This range is influenced by the position of the air control screw ① and the idle adjusting screw ②. Only make adjustments when the engine is hot.

To this end, slightly increase the idling speed of the engine by means of the idle adjusting screw. Turning it clockwise produces a higher idling speed and turning the screw counterclockwise produces a lower idling speed. Create a round and stable engine speed using the air control screw (basic position of the air control screw = open by 1.5 turns). Then adjust to the normal idling speed by means of the idle adjusting screw.

Opening up B

Engine behavior when the throttle opens. The idle jet and the shape of the throttle valve influences this range. If, despite good idling-speed and part-throttle setting, the engine sputters and smokes when the throttle is fully opened and develops its full power not smoothly but suddenly at high engine speeds, the mixture to the carburetor will be too rich, the fuel level too high or the float needle is leaking.

Part-throttle range C

Operation with partly open throttle valve. This range is only influenced by the jet needle (shape and position). The optimum part-throttle setting is controlled by the idling setting in the lower range and by the main jet in the upper range. If the engine runs on a four-stroke cycle or with reduced power when it is accelerated with the throttle partly open, the jet needle must be lowered by one notch. If then the engine pings, especially when accelerating under full power at maximum engine revs, the jet needle should be raised.

If these faults should occur at the lower end of the part throttle range at a four-stroke running, make the idling range leaner; if the engine pings, adjust the idling range richer.

Full throttle range D

Operation with the throttle fully open (flat out). This range is influenced by the main jet and the jet needle. If the porcelain of the new spark plug is found to have a very bright or white coating or if the engine rings, after a short distance of riding flat out, a larger main jet is required. If the porcelain is dark brown or black with soot the main jet must be replaced by a smaller one.

Carburetor adjustment

Basic information on the original carburetor setting

The original carburetor setting was adapted for an altitude of approx. 500 meters (1600 ft.) above sea level, and the ambient temperature of approx. 20°C (68°F), mainly for off-road use and central European premium-grade fuel (ROZ 95 MOZ). Mixing ratio 2-stroke motor oil : super fuel 1:40 – 1:60.

Basic information on a change of the carburetor setting

Always start out from the original carburetor setting. Essential requirements are a clean air filter system, air-tight exhaust system and an intact carburetor. Experience has shown that adjusting the main jet, the idling jet and the jet needle is sufficient and that changes of other parts of the carburetor will not greatly affect engine performance.

RULE OF THUMB:

high altitude or high temperatures low altitude or low temperatures

→ choose leaner carburetor adjustment → choose richer carburetor adjustment

WARNING
- ONLY USE PREMIUM -GRADE GASOLINE ROZ 95 MIXED WITH HIGH-GRADE TWO-STROKE ENGINE OIL. OTHER TYPES OF GASOLINE CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE, AND USE OF SAME WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
- ONLY USE HIGH-GRADE 2-STROKE ENGINE OIL OF KNOWN BRANDS.
- NOT ENOUGH OIL OR LOW -GRADE OIL CAN CAUSE EROSION OF THE PISTON. USING TOO MUCH OIL, THE ENGINE CAN START SMOKING AND FOUL THE SPARK PLUG.
- IN THE CASE OF A LEANER ADJUSTMENT OF THE CARBURETOR PROCEED CAUTIOUSLY . ALWAYS REDUCE THE JET SIZE IN STEPS OF ONE NUMBER TO AVOID OVERHEATING AND PISTON SEIZURE .

NOTE: If despite a changed adjustment the engine does not run properly, look for mechanical faults and check the ignition system.

Basic information on carburetor wear

As a result of engine vibrations, throttle valve, jet needle, and needle jet are subjected to increased wear. This wear may cause carburetor malfunction (e.g., overly rich mixture). Therefore, these parts should be replaced after 10000 kilometers (6000 miles).

Checking the setting of the TVC system

The function of the TVC system is checked with the engine running. This test checks the start of advance and the end of advance.

  • For this, remove the left control cover.
  • Connect a rev counter (either to the ignition cable or to the blue/white cable in the electronics box, depending on the rev counter design).
  • Start engine, accelerate gently and observe when the TVC system starts to advance (tooth segment creeps upwards).

- If necessary, turn the adjusting screw ①.

NOTE: Twisting the adjusting screw in delays the commencement of adjustment by the TVC system, twisting the adjusting screw out means that the TVC system will perform the adjustment earlier.

Bleeding of the hydraulic clutch

  • T ake off cover together with rubber bellows.
  • At the slave cylinder of the clutch, remove the bleeder nipple ②. It its place, mount the bleeder syringe ③ which is filled with SAE 10 hydraulic oil.

- Refill oil, until oil is discharged from the bore ④ of the master cylinder in a bubble-free state. Make sure that the oil does not overflow.

!CAUTION!
-HAVING COMPLETED THE BLEEDING PROCEDURE, YOU HAVE TO VERIFY THAT THE OIL LEVEL IN THE MASTER CYLINDER IS CORRECT .
-KTM USES BIODEGRADABLE HYDRAULIC OIL FOR THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH CONTROL. NEVER MIX BIODEGRADABLE HYDRAULIC OILS WITH MINERAL OILS.
-ALWAYS USE BIODEGRADABLE HYDRAULIC OIL SAE 10 TO FILL UP THE MASTER CYLINDER. NEVER REFILL WITH MINERAL HYDRAULIC OIL OR BRAKE FLUID.

CLEANING

Clean your motorcycle regularly in order to maintain the beauty of its plastic surfaces.

The best manner would be to use warm water that has been mixed with a normal brand-name washing detergent and a sponge. The hard dirt can be removed before washing with the help of a soft water jet.

!

CAUTION

!

NEVER CLEAN YOUR MOTORCYCLE WITH A HIGH-PRESSURED CLEANER OR A HIGH-PRESSURED WATER JET. THE WATER COULD OTHERWISE RUN INTO THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, CONNECTORS, SHEATHED CABLES, BEARINGS, CARBURETOR, ETC. AND CAUSE DISTURBANCES OR LEAD TO A PREMATURE DESTRUCTION OF THESE PARTS.

- Before cleaning with water, plug the exhaust pipe to prevent water ingress.

  • You should use normal brand-name detergents to clean the motorcycle. Especially dirty parts should also be cleaned with the help of a paint brush.
  • After the motorcycle has been rinsed with a soft water jet, it should be dried by air pressure and a cloth. Then take a short drive until the engine has reached the working temperature and also use the brakes. By warming these components, the residual water can evaporate from inaccessible parts of the engine and the brakes.
  • Slide back the protective covers on the handlebar-mounted instruments so that any water that may have seeped into this part of the motorcycle is allowed to evaporate.
  • After the motorcycle has cooled down, oil and grease all the gliding bearing parts. Treat the chain with a chain spray.
  • To prevent failures in the electric system, you should treat the ignition lock, the emergency OFF switch, the short circuit button, the light switch and the socket connectors with contact spray.

CONSERVATION FOR WINTER OPERATION

In the event that the motorcycle is also used in winter and on roads where one has to expect salt spraying, you will have to take precautions against the aggressive road salt.

– clean the motorcycle thoroughly and let it dry after each ride
- treat the engine, carburetor, swing arm, and all other bare or galvanized parts (except for brake discs) with a wax-based anti-corrosion agent.

⚠ WARNING

KEEP THE ANTI-CORROSION AGENT FROM GETTING INTO CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE DISCS , OTHERWISE THIS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE BRAKING POWER .

!

CAUTION

!

AFTER RIDES ON SALTED ROADS, CLEAN MOTORCYCLE THOROUGHLY WITH COLD WATER AND LET IT DRY WELL.

STORAGE

Should you wish to make a pause over a longer space of time, please observe the following instructions:

– Clean motorcycle thoroughly (see chapter: CLEANING)
- Change engine oil (old engine oil contains aggressive contaminants).
– Check antifreeze and amount of cooling liquid.
- Let the engine warm up again, close fuel cock and wait until the engine dies off by itself. In this way the carburetor jets are prevented from becoming resin- clogged by the old fuel.
- Remove spark plug and fill in approx. 5 ccm of engine oil into the cylinder through the opening. Actuate kick-starter 10 times in order to distribute the oil onto the cylinder walls and mount the spark plug.
- Let fuel flow out of tank into an appropriate container.
- Correct tire pressure.
– Lubricate bearing points of the control levers, footrests, etc. as well as the chain.
- The storage place should be dry and not be subjected to too big temperature fluctuations.
- Cover the motorcycle with an air permeated tarp or blanket. Do not use non airtight materials as a possible humidity might not be able to escape and thereby cause corrosion.

!

CAUTION

!

IT WOULD BE VERY BAD TO LET THE ENGINE RUN FOR A SHORT TIME DURING THE STORAGE PERIOD. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT GET WARMED UP ENOUGH AND THE THUS DEVELOPED STEAM WOULD CONDENSE DURING THE COMBUSTION PROCESS AND CAUSE THE VALVES AND EXHAUST TO RUST .

USE AFTER A PERIOD OF STORAGE

  • Fill up the tank with fresh fuel.
  • Check the motorcycle as before each start (see driving instructions)
  • Take a short, careful test ride first.

NOTE: Before you put your motorcycle away for the winter, you should check all parts for their function and wear. Should any service jobs, repairs, or any refitting be necessary, you should have them carried out during the off-season (lower workload at mechanics' shops). This way, you can avoid the long waiting times at your shop at the beginning of the next biking season.

Engine housing

NOTE: Read through the following section before commencing work. Then determine the assembly sequence so that the engine housing halves only need to be heated up once before replacing the bearings.

Having first removed the dowels, in order to expel the bearings or remove them with light mallet blows, the housing halves must be placed on a suitably large plane surface, supporting the whole of the sealing surface without damaging it. A wooden panel is best used as a base.

Bearings or shaft seal rings should not be hammered into their seats. If no suitable press is available, use a suitable mandrel and hammer them in with great care. Cold bearings will practically drop into their seats at an engine housing temperature of approx. 150^ C.

After cooling, should the bearings fail to lock in the bore, they are bound to rotate after warming. In that event the housing must be replaced.

Nikasil coating of cylinder

Nikasil is the brand name for a cylinder coating process, developed by the piston manufacturer Mahle. The name is derived from the two materials used in this process - a nickel layer into which the particularly hard silicon carbide is inbedded.

The main advantages of the Nikasil coating are:

● excellent heat dissipation and thus better power output
- low wear
- low weight of the cylinder.

NOTE: The worn coating can be regenerated at low cost provided that the cylinders running surface is flawless.

Checking the voltage regulator-rectifier (Shindengen)

- Start the engine and switch on the low beam.

- Connect a voltmeter to the two terminals of the capacitor (red/white cable = positive, brown cable = negative).

- Accelerate the engine to a speed of 5000 r.p.m. and read off the voltage.

Nominal value: 14.0 - 15.0 V

In the case of a significant deviation from the nominal value:

- Check the capacitor

- Check the connector between the stator and the voltage regulator-rectifier and the connector between the voltage regulator-rectifier and the cable tree.

- Check the stator.

- Replace the voltage regulator-rectifier.

Checking the voltage regulator (Kokusan)

A defect voltage regulator can cause different kinds of trouble:

- No voltage in the circuit

In this case, the voltage regulator must be disconnected at idle speed. The voltage regulator is defect if the power consumers now work properly.

If the power consumers are still not supplied with power, the switch, the wiring harness or the ignition system must be checked for defects.

● Excessive voltage in the circuit

The bulbs burn out. In this case the voltage regulator must be replaced.

Checking the voltage regulator (Tympanium)

NOTE: The voltage regulators are connected downstream of the switches. One of the voltage regulators regulates only the brake light circuit, the other regulates the circuit for the head light, the tail light, the speedometer illumination and the horn.

A defect voltage regulator can cause different kinds of trouble:

- No voltage in the circuit

In this case, the voltage regulator must be disconnected at idle speed. The voltage regulator is defect if the power consumers now work properly.

If the power consumers are still not supplied with power, the switch, the wiring harness or the ignition system must be checked for defects.

- Excessive voltage in the circuit

The bulbs burn out.

Connect a voltmeter (yellow cable = positive, brown cable = negative) to check the voltage. Start the engine and switch on the power consumers.

At an engine speed of 3000 r.p.m, the voltage regulator must supply a voltage of 12.0 - 14.0 V A.C. At higher engine speeds, the limit of 14.0 V should not be exceeded either.

If the reading significantly deviates from the nominal value, replace the voltage regulator.

Checking the capacitor

  • Discharge the capacitor by bridging the two terminals with a screwdriver and remove.
  • Connect the negative pole of a 12V battery with the negative terminal of the capacitor. The connection between the positive pole of the battery and the positive terminal of the capacitor (marked +) is made with a test lamp ①.
  • When the power circuit is closed, the test lamp must begin to light up. As capacitor charging increases, the brightness of the test lamp must decrease.
  • The test lamp must go out after 0,5-2 seconds (depending on the lamp capacity).
  • If the test lamp does not go out or does not light up at all, the capacitor is faulty.
!CAUTION!

DISCHARGE THE CAPACITOR BEFORE AND AFTER EACH TEST.

WHEN INSTALLING THE CAPACITOR, MAKE SURE THAT THE TERMINALS ARE CONNECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR MARKINGS (CONNECT RED/WHITE CABLE TO + TERMINAL).

Ignition coil (SEM)

As this ignition coil uses electronic components, you are advised not to use conventional measuring instruments. An accurate function test can only be carried out on an ignition test bench.

Ignition coil (Kokusan)

- Disconnect all cables and remove the spark plug connector.

- Use an ohmmeter to measure the following values.

NOTE: The indicated setpoint values correspond to a temperature of 20^ C.

Replace the ignition coil if the measured values deviate significantly from the setpoint values.

Measurement Cable colours Resistance
Primary coil blue/white – ground 0,425 - 0,575 Ω
Secondary coil blue/white – ignition wire 10,8 - 16,2 kΩ

CDI unit

Check the cables and plug and socket connections of the CDI unit ②.

The CDI unit function can only be checked on an ignition test bench.

!CAUTION!

NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL MEASURING DEVICE TO CHECK THE CDI UNIT. COMMERCIAL MEASURING DEVICES CAN DESTROY HIGHLY SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.
