CARBURETER ADJUSTMENTS
In hot weather, high altitudes, or when high test gasoline is used, connect pump
link in inner hole, giving shorter stroke.
Maximum 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) Step-up rod in step-up jet must sea' and move freely. When reassembling,
jet must be screwed in tight against seat.
(c) Step-up piston in body casting should not bind and must be free of dirt.
(d) Main metering jet can be replaced with leaner than standard metering jets,
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.
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 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 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 clear with compressed
air. Also examine pump link setting. Pump link has three holes giving short,
medium and long strokes. If link is set to short stroke, reset to give longer
stroke to pump piston.
