Preheating the carburetor
Repositioning the shutter allows heated
air to be drawn in from around the
cylinder and mixed with cold air – this
helps prevent carburetor icing.

setting of the shutter (2) for summer or
winter operation. Meaning of symbols:
– "Sun" = summer operation
– "Snowflake" = winter operation
N Remove the screw (3) from the
shutter.

the screw (3).

necessary.
