MOTOR TUNE-UP—MACK, JR.—Be Accurate! Always Use Feeler Gauges!
Caution: Change worn or leaky flange gaskets. Tighten manifold bolts and
test compression before adjusting carburetor.
Use Timing Light and Time by Flywheel Mark
Use Gauge Idle Adjustment

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 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 xsselmhly 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 link 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.

ADJUSTMENTS
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 he done to insure satisfactory
performance and economy:
(a) Float level must he set as above.
(h) Ball check in step-up valve assembly must seat and move freely. When
re-assembling, valve housing must be screwed in tight against seat.
Step-up push rod must move freely in upper and lower guides.
(d) Step-up piston in upper casting should not bind and must he 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.
