CARBURETER
PUMP ADJUSTMENT: With pump connector link in place on 643S-643SA, (inner
hole on 644S) throttle adjustment screw backed out, pump plunger should
travel 28/64" (643S-643SA), 14/64" (644S) from closed to wide open throttle
position. Measure pump travel by placing gauge T109-117S on raised portion
of bowl cover around the plunger shaft. Projecting portion of indicator should
be placed on top surface of connector link where it extends through the plunger
shaft. The difference between readings at wide open and closed throttle positions
should be "28" (643S-643SA), "14" (644S). METERING ROD
ADJUSTMENT: Must be made when re-assembling carbureter or when leaner than
standard rods are installed. Do not disturb pump adjustment. Procedure is
as follows: (a) Back out throttle lever adjustment screw until throttle valves
seat. Insert one metering rod gauge T109-113 in place of metering rod. Be
sure gauge seats in jet. (b) Install metering rod pin and pin spring in vacuum
piston and link assembly. (c) Press lightly on top of vacuum piston link
until lip contacts tongue on anti-percolator arm. There should now be less
than .005" clearance between metering rud pin and shoulder in notch
of gauge with throttle valves seated.
Adjust by bending tongue on pump arm. Remove gauge and metering rod pin
and install metering rods, discs, spring, and metering rod pin, and hook
spring to metering rod. Vacuum piston and link must not bind or drag in
any position.
NTI- PERCOLATOR ADJUSTMENT: After adjusting pumpADJUSTMENTS
and metering rods, and with throttle valves seated, insert .015" flat
feeler gauge T109-72 between anti-percolator stems and lips on anti-percolator
arm. Center of indicator lines must be flush with top of anti-percolator
plug. Adjust by bending lips, be sure both valves are adjusted evenly.
UNLOADER ADJUSTMENT: With throttle wide open, distance between upper
edge of choke valve and inner wall of air horn should be 11/64" (gauge
T109-166). Adjust by bending lip on fast idle connector link. When unloader
is adjusted properly, with throttle valve wide open, move choke valve
to wide open position and choke valve will lock in open position.
FAST IDLE ADJUSTMENT: Hold choke valve tightly closed and adjust fast
idle arm screw until there is .026" (T109-189) clearance between edge of
throttle valve and bore of carbureter, side opposite idle port on model 643S
-643SA, or .020" (T109-29) on model 644S.
FLANGE ASSEMBLY: (643SA -644S) Assemble in the following manner in order
to center throttle valves properly and eliminate excessive endplay in
the throttle shaft. Install throttle shaft and lever assembly and place
throttle shaft retaining ring firmly on stub of shaft with prongs extended
outward. Take out all endplay by pressing retaining ring on shaft as
far as possible. Then install throttle valves with "c" in circle
toward the idle port when viewed from the manifold side. To center valves
tap lightly holding in place with fingers while tightening screws.
