CARBURETER
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 plug is firmly seated. Reset float level by bending lip of float lever
away from needle to raise level, or bending 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 rpm. Then set idle adjustment screw as instructed above. If
these adjustments do not correct the trouble, remove idle orifice tube and plug
assembly and clean with compressed air.
If acceleration is not satisfactory, remove pump jet and clean with compressed
air. Also examine pump link setting. Pump link has three holes giving short,
medium and long strokes. If Iink is set to short stroke, reset to give longer
stroke to pump piston. In hot weather, high altitudes, or when high test gasoline
is used, connect pump link in inner hole, giving shorter stroke.
Pump Adjustment: Remove air horn assembly, back out throttle adjustment screw,
and place pump operating link in center hole of throttle shaft arm. Adjustment
can be made by bending horizontal portion of pump connector link, so that top
of pump plunger shaft contacts lip of indicator on
ADJUSTMENTS
pump stroke gauge T109-117S. Correct travel is 24/64" on DTB1-DTBIR-DTB2R
and 26/64" on Et'Rl-ETRIR.
Maimum economy is secured only when breaker points, spark plugs, valves and motor
timing are set to manufacturer's specifications. After motor is properly tuned,
the following should also be done to insure satisfactory performance and economy:
(a) Float level must be set as above.
(b) Ball check in step-up valve assembly must seat and move freely. When reassembling,
valve housing must be screwed in tight against seat.
(c) Step-up push rod must move freely in upper and lower guides.
(d) Step-up piston in upper casting should not bind and must be free of dirt.
(e) Main metering screw can be replaced with leaner than standard metering screws,
for altitude or high test fuel.
Caution: Do not attempt to gauge metering jets with drills. These jets have been
flow-tested, to insure correct fuel flow.
