CARBURETER ADJUSTMENTS
If carbureter loads up after considerable service, float level should be checked.
Wear on lip of float lever will raise float level. Float level may be reset by
bending lip of float lever down to raise level or bending lever up to lower float
level. Only a very slight bend is needed.
If motor stalls while idling, reset idle adjustment screw and throttle lever
adjusting screw. If these adjustments do not correct the trouble, remove low
speed jet tube and clean thoroughly with compressed air. Examine and see that
tube seats air-tight in body casting, top and bottom. If not, replace with a
new tube of identical specifications. NEVER CHANGE A LOW SPEED JET TUBE FROM
ONE CARBURETER TO AN-OTHER.
Increased resistance on foot throttle indicates a clogged pump jet. Pump jet
should be removed and cleaned with compressed air, which, in many cases, will
remove the dirt or lint. However, it is usually advisable to replace the pump
jet, as its cost is nominal. All jets and ball checks must be seated gasoline
tight.
Poor acceleration may be due to damaged or worn plunger leather in accelerating
purnp, corrosion in pump cylinder, loose or cracked cylinder, cracked plunger
cup or bent pump arm (parts which may be replaced at small cost). If plunger
is removed from cylinder, always use loading tool in re-assembling to avoid damage
to plunger leather.
Pump stroke on carbureters I36S and 150S adjust-able for high or low temperatures.
Set to longest stroke for cold weather, shorter stroke for hot weather driving.
