Carburetor Adjustments & Tuning Tips
110 Adjustments for Competition
The carburetor used on your CRF should perform
suitably with the standard recommended settings
under average load, climatic, and barometric
conditions. However, to fine tune the engine ’s
power output, the carburetor may require
adjustments for specific competition needs.
Optional main jets, slow jets, leak jets and
accelerator pump diaphragms are available for
your CRF. See your dealer.
Any engine or air cleaner housing modifications
or the use of an aftermarket exhaust system may
require jetting changes.
Carburetor Components
Cold Start Circuit
A very rich mixture must be delivered to the
cylinder when a cold engine is being started.
When the choke knob (1) is pulled out, fuel is
metered by the starter jet (2) and is mixed with
air from the air passage (3) (located above the
throttle valve (4)) to provide a rich mixture for
starting. The mixture discharges through the
orifice (5) into the cylinder.

Hot Start Circuit
A lean mixture must be delivered to the cylinder
when a hot engine is being started. When the hot
start lever is pulled back, the hot start valve (1)
opens, allowing air to be supplied to the main
bore (2) through the hot start air passage (3). This
extra air enters the air-fuel mixture from the slow
circuit resulting in a lean condition.
