Pump Adjustment: With throttle valve seated and connector link in place (medium stroke hole), pump plunger should travel 16/64" from closed to wide open position. Adjustment should be made by bending throttle connector rod at lower angle. Pump travel can he measured by using universal pump stroke gauge T109-117S by placing base of gauge on ridged portion of bowl cover so that projecting portionof 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 16.
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,
