valve opens and acts as an air valve during the warming up period. This prevents overloading and produces a smooth running mixture with a cold motor.
The accelerating pump, Fig. 248, is of the pneumatic type and consists of a cylinder with a plunger containing an air bell and two check valves, one on the inlet and one on the outlet side The upward movement of the plunger, when the throttle is closed, draws a small metered quantity of fuel into the bottom of the cylinder. The slightest opening of the throttle causes an immediate discharge through a jet pointing downward into the main venturi.

Carburetor Adjustment

The carburetors are carefully tested and adjusted to the engine, before leaving the factory. Too often adjustments are made to the carburetor, when in reality, something else is causing uneven running or the engine has not thoroughly warmed up.

There are two adjustments on the carburetor, one for idling mixture and the other for idling speed. Both of these adjustments should be made together.
To adjust the idling mixture, proceed as follows: Open the idle adjusting screw from % to 1 turn open. Let engine idle. Try turning screw both ways from this position until the best setting is made.
To adjust for idling speed, proceed as follows: With the hand throttle on the instrument panel closed, set the throttle lever stop screw so that the engine runs at approximately 400 revolutions per minute. I f the engine runs too fast, back the screw out. If too slow, turn it until the proper speed is obtained.
Accelerating Pump Adjustment
The lever which operates the accelerating pump plunger arm is provided with three adjustments or settings. See Fig. 249. Medium stroke is the cor-
Fig. 249— Accelerating Pump Plunger Arm rect setting for ordinary temperatures and standard gasoline. Short stroke is for use in extremely hot climates, at high altitudes or with high test fuel. The long stroke is for use in extremely cold climates.
To set this pump arm lever it is necessary to remove the cover from the top of the accelerating pump. When this cover is removed, the counter-shaft that operates the accelerating pump should be lubricated with graphite grease. To lubricate this shaft, fill the cover screw hole with graphite grease.
Float Level
The float level should be maintained for best economy. This is %" on the 1935 carburetors. This measurement should be taken on the side of the float opposite the gasoline intake needle, and measured from the top of the float to the machined surface of the bowl cover, with the gasket removed. An easy method of measuring this level, is by the use of a %" round drill rod as shown in Fig. 250.
