KF82 KMOO-KF150
4-stroke air-cooled gasoline engine
WORKSHOP MANOU


INTRODUCTION
Kawasaki 4-stroke gasoline engine models, KF82, KF100 and KF150 are of
the same basic design utilizing a cast iron cylinder, a precision die cast alu-
minum alloy crankcase and side cover, and heavy duty ball bearings mounted
on crankshaft and counter balance shaft.
Other standard features of this series include;
• Electronic Ignition System
The KF100 and KF150 are provided with the contact breaker ignition
system type as an option.
• Automatic Spark Advance
• Electric Starter
The KF150 is equipped with the electric starter as standard. The KF82
and KF100 are provided that as an option.
Each model is available in two types.
One is "D" type which uses an extended crankshaft for power take-off and
other is "G" type which is a 2 to 1 gear reduction model utilizing an extend-
ed camshaft for power take-off. The procedures for assembly, disassembly
and adjustment for all these models are almost identical.

The horsepower ratings shown herein are estab-
lished in accordance with Society of Automotive
Engineers Code J607.
Power curves are corrected to standard condi-
tions of sea level barometer and temperature of
15.6°C (60° F) and are developed from laboratory
test engines equipped with standard air cleaner and
muffler.
The "Maximum B.H.P." curve represents per-
formance of laboratory teat engines. Production
engines will develop not /ess than 95% of the
"Maximum B.H.P." when tested after run-in to
reduce friction and after cleanout of combustion
chamber, with valves, carburetor and ignition
system adjusted to laboratory standards.
Production engines when shipped, will develop
not less than 85% of the "Maximum B.H.P."
Engine power will decrease 3.5% for each 305m
(1,000 ft.) avobe sea level and 1% for each 5.6°C
(10°F) above standard temperature of 15.6°C
(60° F).

D. OPERATION THEORY AND
ADJUSTMEI
1. CARBURETOR
1-1 Carburetor Theory of Operation
The carburetor functions to atomize the filiel
from fuel line and feeds it into the cylinder
as a combustible mixture.
This is a delicate functional component of high
accuracy and has the same operating principle
as a sprayer. (Fig. 001)
a MAIN SYSTEM
Fuel is caused to be mixed with intake air
the negative pressure in the venturi crea
during the intake stroke of piston, as showr
Fig. 001. In this venturi tube, the intake
has high velocity and low static pressi
by
ted
in
air
re,
which draws fuel out of the float chamber.
This fuel is atomized to fine particles by intake
air of high velocity, and is drawn into (the
cylinder as a combustible mixture.
Intake stroke of p
Carburetor
(Fig. 001)
b SLOW SYSTEM
In the case of low speed running without
the horsepower required is very small, ani
intake airflow required is very slow.
The throttle vaWe (2) is almost closed in
ston
the
this
state. As high negative pressure is generated
on the back side of the throttle valve, the
slow system is designed to draw air into this
area. The air causes to draw the fuel melered
precisely by the slow jet (6) and the I fuel
drawn is mixed with the air to be a combus-
tible mixture.
The combustible mixture is adjusted by needle
valve (8) and delivered into the venturi.
(Fig. 002)
(Fig. 002)
c CHOKE SYSTEM
Choke valve (3) should be closed as a rule
for engine starting under low ambient tempe-
rature. As a result, there is almost no air flow
to the venture (1), which causes a very high
vacuum pressure in the venturi. Fuel is drawn
into the venturi at a high rate, and a highly
combustible air-fuel mixture is produced.
(Fig. 002)
d FLOAT SYSTEM
The engine will malfunction unless the fuel
level in the float chamber is always kept at
a predetermined level. The float (4) is floating
in the float chamber, and when the fuel level
rises to a fixed level, the needle valve (5) closed
the fuel inlet as the floating force overcomes
fuel line inlet pressure. When the fuel level
lowers, on the other hand, the needle valve
opens per the attitude of the float and permits
fuel to flow into the chamber. Thus the fuel
level in the float chamber is always at a pre-
determined level regardless of the load being
applied on engine. (Fig. 002)
1-2 Carburetor Structure in Practice
The structure and functions of carburetors
used for Kawasaki engines (KF82, KF100 and
KF150) in practice are described below.
a MAIN SYSTEM
The main system functions to supply fuel
during medium and high speed running. Fuel
is metered by the main jet and is drawn into
the main nozzle. At the same time, the air
metered by the main air jet is mixed with the
fuel through the main nozzle bleed hole,
causing it to foam before reaching the venturi.
This fuel mixed with air bubbles is again mixed
with the air in the venturi which is drawn
through the air cleaner and becomes an op-
timum air-fuel mixture. (Fig. 003)
