BRIEF CARBURETER ADJUSTMENTS
PUMP ADJUSTMENT: (388S only) With pump connector link in place, throttle adjustment
screw backed out, pump plunger should travel 19/64" from closed to wide
open position. Use gauge T109-117S. Adjustment can be made by bending throttle
connector rod at lower angle.
METERING ROD ADJUSTMENT: (All models except 388S) Insert gauge (T109-25) in place
of metering rod, seating tapered end in metering rod jet. Hold gauge vertical
to Insure seating. Metering rod pin in pump arm should rest at bottom of notch
in gauge with throttle fully closed and upper end of connector rod centering
freely in hole in pump arm. If It does not, bend lower end of throttle connector
rod, so that top end centers freely in hole. Remove throttle connector rod from
carbureter to bend.
Remove gauge, replace metering rod and disk and metering rod spring. Be sure
rod is in jet. If rod shows wear, replace both rod and jet.
(388S) Insert gauge (T109-25) in place of metering rod. Hold gauge vertical to
insure seating in jet. Bend lip on step-up piston so that when link is pushed
down all the way, with throttle valve seated, there is less than .005" clearance
between metering rod pin and shoulder of notch in gauge. Remove gauge, Insert
rod, disk and spring.
ANTI-PERCOLATOR ADJUSTMENT: (All models except 388S) Back out throttle lever
adjusting screw. Do not disturb metering rod setting. With throttle valve tightly
closed, adjust hp on pump arm to depress anti-percolator stem to indicator line
flush with top of anti-percolator plug.
Early models do not have indicator line. Insert .020" gauge (T109-29) between
throttle valve and bore of carbureter on side opposite port. Lip on pump arm
should be adjusted to give .005"-.015" opening between lip and anti-percolator
stem. Use feeler gauge to secure proper setting.
(388S) Insert .030" gauge (T109-29) between lower edge of throttle
valve and bore of carbureter on side opposite port. Adjust anti-percolator
arm so that there is a clearance of .005"-.015" between it and
pump arm with anti-percolator cap seated.
FAST IDLE ADJUSTMENT (351S-385S-388S) Adjust fast idle link so there is
%" clearance between inside wall of air horn and lower edge of choke
valve, with throttle lever adjusting screw locked against first or upper
step on fast idle cam. (No fast idle adjustment on 327S-339S-342S.)
UNLOADER ADJUSTMENT: (327S-339S-342S) With throttle wide open adjust curved
lip on fast idle block so lower edge of choke valve is %" from inner
wall- of air horn.
(351S-385S-388S) At wide open throttle adjust cam on throttle lever to give
4's" clearance between lower edge of choke valve and wall of air horn.
LOCK-OUT ADJUSTMENT: (All models except 388S) With throttle and choke valves
wide open, adjust lip on fast idle link to give 1/32" clearance between
lip and throttle lever lock. 388S should have 1/16" clearance between
choker lever and top end of fast idle link.
