PUMP ADJUSTMENT: With pump connector link in medium stroke and throttle adjustment
screw backed out, pump plunger should travel 21/64" (8.33 mm) from closed
to wide open position. Adjustment can be made by bending throttle connector rod
at lower angle. (Use tool T109-75.) Pump travel can be measured by placing gauge
T109-117S on rim of bowl around plunger shaft and measuring from top surface
of connector link at pump shaft.
link at pump shaft.
< METERING ROD ADJUSTMENT: Should be made when reassembling carbureter or
when leaner than standard rods are installed. (Do not disturb pump adjustment.)
Correct set-
ting of metering rods is important. Procedure is as follows:
A. Back out throttle lever adjusting screw so that throttle valves seat.
B. Insert metering rod pin in vacuum piston shaft.
C. Insert one metering rod gauge No. T109-113 in meter-
ing rod hole in place of metering rod. Make sure that
gauge seats in metering rod jet.
D. Depress vacuum piston shaft lightly until contact is made with tongue on anti-percolator
arm. There should now be less than .005 inch clearance between metering rod pin
and shoulder of notch in gauge.
E. Adjustment can be made by bending tongue on anti-percolator arm, using tool
T109-105.
F. Remove gauge and replace metering rods, metering rod disks and metering rod
spring on pin. Then insert pin spring in groove on pin, and hook metering rod
spring on metering rods.
ANTI-PERCOLATOR ADJUSTMENT: (419S only) This adjustment must be made after pump
and metering rod adjustments have been made. Do not disturb these adjustments.
Back out throttle lever adjusting screw so that throttle valves seat in bores
of carbureter. With throttle valves seated, bend lips on anti-percolator arm
so that center of gauge lines are just flush with top of anti-percolator plugs.
Since there are two anti-percolators on this carbureter, care must be taken so
that there is an even adjustment on both anti-percolator arm lips.
STARTER SWITCH: Adjustment should be made with Car-ter tool No. T109-121S, obtainable
from your Carter distributor with complete instructions.
Note: When connecting switch wire, attach red wire to switch terminal closest
to motor.
UNLOADER ADJUSTMENT: With throttle wide open, distance between upper edge of
choke, valve and inner wall of air horn should be 3/16 inch (use gauge T109-28).
Adjustment can be made by bending lip on fast idle connector link. With throttle
wide open, push choker valve open. Choke should lock in wide open position. If
it does not lock, re-check unloader adjustment. Closing the throttle will release
choker valve. Choker trip lever is notched out for this setting.
FAST IDLE ADJUSTMENT: Hold choker valve tightly closed and adjust fast idle arm
screw to give .018 inch opening between edge of throttle valve and bore of carbureter,
side opposite port. (Use gauge T109-44.)
