PUMP ADJUSTMENT: With throttle valve seated and connector link in place (short
stroke: hole nearest countershaft), pump plunger should travel 12/64" from
closed to wide open position. Adjustment should be made by bending
throttle connector rod at lower angle. Pump travel can be measured
by using universal pump stroke gauge T109-117S. Place base of gauge
on ridged portion of bowl cover so that projecting portion of pump
gauge rests on top surface of connector link at pump shaft. Hold
gauge vertical. The difference between the number shown by index
mark on gauge, at wide open and closed positions, should be 12.
METERING ROD ADJUSTMENT: Correct setting of metering rod is important
and must be made after pump adjustment. Insert gauge (tool No. T109-102)
in place of metering rod, seating tapered end m metering rod jet. Hold
gauge vertical to insure seating. With throttle valve seated, press
down lightly on piston link directly over piston. There should be less
than .00 clearance between metering rod pin and shoulder in notch of
gauge. Gauge must not drag on pin. Adjustment can be made by bending
lip on piston link so that it contacts pump arm. (Use tool T109-105.)
Remove gauge and install metering rod and disk. Connect metering rod
and spring.
