BRIEF CARBURETER ADJUSTMENTS
Pump Adjustment: With pump connector link in place and throttle adjustment screw backed out, pump plunger should travel 15/64 inches from closed to wide open position. Use gauge No. T109-117S. Adjustment can be made by bending throttle connector rod at lower angle.
Metering Rod Adjustment: Correct setting of metering rod is important. Metering rod position should be checked when carbureters are serviced or when leaner than standard rods are installed. Correct procedure is as follows: Insert gauge No. T109-25 in place of metering rod, seating tapered end in metering rod jet. Then push down vacuum piston arm so that metering rod pin rests on shoulder of notch ingauge. Back out throttle lever adjusting screw so throttle valve seats. Adjust lip on step-up piston link to rest on pump arm pin when gauging.
Remove gauge, install metering rod and disk and metering rod spring. Be sure metering rod is in jet. If metering rod shows wear, replace it.
Anti-Percolator Adjustment: Crack throttle valve .030 inch by placing gauge T109-29 between lower edge of throttle valve and bore of carbureter (opposite port). Adjust anti-percolator arm (by bending) so that there is a clearance of .015 inch between it and pump arm with anti-percolator cap seated.
