UNLOADER ADJUSTMENT: Two adjustments are necessary to get correct unloader setting:
A. Loosen choker lever and screw assembly on shaft. Insert .010" flat feeler gauge between lip on fast idle cam and boss on flange casting. Hold choke valve tightly closed and tighten choke shaft arm in place.
B. Adjust unloader lip on throttle shaft lever to give 3/16" clearance (Gauge T109-28) between upper edge of choke valve and inside wall of air horn with throttle wide
open.
FAST IDLE ADJUSTMENT: With choke valve tightly closed, adjust fast idle set screw to give .012" clearance between throttle valve and bore of carbureter (side opposite port). Proceed as follows: Back out throttle adjusting screw. Then back out fast idle set screw until it just touches the high spot of fast idle cam. Then screw in fast idle set screw 21/ turns. Then adjust throttle screw.
STARTER SWITCH ADJUSTMENT: Adjustment should be made with Carter tool T109-155S, obtainable from your Carter distributor with complete instructions.
