CARBURETER ADJUSTMENTS
If carbureter loads up after considerable service, check float level. Wear
on lip of float lever will raise float level. Before adjusting float, be sure
float lever pin is firmly seated. Reset float level by bending lip of float
lever away from needle to raise level, or bend lip toward needle to lower float
level. Bend vertical lip of float only.
If motor stalls while idling, set throttle lever adjusting screw so motor runs
approximately 300 r. p. m. Then set idle adjustment screw to specifications.
If these adjustments do not correct the trouble, remove idle orifice tube and
plug assembly. Clean tube and passages with compressed air.
If acceleration is not satisfactory remove pump jet and clean with compressed
air. However, it is usually advisable to replace the pump jet, as its cost
is nominal. All jets must be seated gasoline tight. Poor acceleration may be
due to damaged or worn plunger leather in accelerating pump,sediment in pump
cylinder or clogged intake ball check at bottom of pump cylinder and discharge
ball check in discharge passage. If plunger is removed from cylinder, use care
in installing to avoid damage to plunger leather.
Correct air fuel ratio is provided by a "balance tube" cast in the
air horn. The balance tube should be checked each time the carbureter is serviced
to see that the passage is open. The object of a balanced carbureter is to
provide a constant air fuel ratio regardless of type, size or condition of
air cleaner. Should the cleaner become clogged, the capacity will be reduced
but the air-fuel mixture ratio will not be changed.
Excessive richness above 50 miles per hour .may be caused by a clogged main
vent tube. After removal of rivet plug beneath float bowl with tool No. T109-42,
main vent tube can
