Exhaust Emission Control System
The exhaust emission control system applied to this engine consists of a carburetor and an ignition system
having optimum ignition timing characteristics. The carburetor has been calibrated to provide specific air/fuel
mixture characteristics and optimum fuel economy with a suitable air cleaner and exhaust system.
A sealed-type crankcase emission control system is also used to eliminate blow-by gasses. The blow-by gas-
ses are led to a breather chamber through the crankcase and from there to the air cleaner.
