BRIEF CARBURETER
PUMP ADJUSTMENT: With pump connector link in proper hole (see below), adjust throttle connector rod by bending at lower angle (tool T109-75) to give pump travel as indicated. Full pump stroke is obtained by moving throttle from seated to wide open position. Use gauge T109-117S.
Carbs. 344S-377S-402S-short stroke-15/64" travel.
Curbs. 430S-4555-4615-long stroke-18/64" travel.
METERING ROD ADJUSTMENT: Back out throttle lever adjusting screw so that throttle valves seat, and loosen anti-percolator arm screw.
344S-377S-4025: Remove pin spring from metering rod pin and slide the pin from metering rod arm, taking care that pin spring and metering rod springs are not bent or lost. Lift out metering rods and remove brass metering rod disk retainer by loosening small brass screw. Remove, but do not lose the two small metering rod disks beneath this plate.
Insert two metering rod gauges, tool No. T109-27 in place of metering rods, seating tapered end in metering rod jet. Put metering rod pin in place in metering rod arm. Metering rod pin should now rest at bottom of notches in metering rod gauges allowing for .005" variation on either gauge. Tighten anti-percolator arm screw with metering rod arm in this position.
Remove gauges and replace metering rod disks, retainer and screw. Install metering rods, spring and pin spring and connect metering rod spring. Graphite grease should be put in holes so that pump arm shaft operates freely.
430S-455S-461S: Insert one T109-113 gauge in metering rod hole in place of metering rods. Be sure gauge seats in metering rod jet.
Depress vacuum piston shaft lightly until contact is made with tongue on anti-percolator arm. There should now be
ADJUSTMENTS
less than .005" clearance between metering rod pin and shoulder of notch in gauge.
Adjustment can be made by bending tongue on anti-percolator arm, using tool T109-105.
Remove gauge and replace metering rods, metering rod disks and metering rod spring on pin. Then insert pin spring in groove on pin, and hook metering rod spring on metering rods.
ANTI-PERCOLATOR ADJUSTMENT: Do not disturb adjustment of metering rods or pump. Back out throttle lever adjusting screw so that throttle valves seat. Then proceed as follows:
344S-377S-402S: With valves seated, insert .015" feeler gauge between anti-percolator stem and lip on anti-percolator arm. Then adjust lip on anti-percolator arm to depress anti-percolator stem so indicator line is flush with top of plug.
430S-455S-461S: With valves seated, bend anti-percolator lips so that indicator line on anti-percolators are flush with top of plugs. Care must be taken so that an even adjustment is made on both anti-percolators:
UNLOADER ADJUSTMENT: With throttle wide open, distance between upper edge of choke valve and wall of air horn should be 1/4". Check with T109-31 gauge. Adjustment can be made by bending lip on fast idle connector link. If unloader is adjusted properly, with throttle wide open, move choker valve wide open and choker valve will be locked in wide open position. Closing the throttle will release choker valve. Choker trip lever is notched out for this setting.
FAST IDLE ADJUSTMENT: Hold choker valve tightly closed. (Be sure fast idle screw is against, not on the first step of fast idle cam.) Adjust fast idle arm screw to give .018" opening between edge of throttle valve and bore of carburetor side opposite port.
