PUMP ADJUSTMENT: With pump connector link in place and throttle adjustment screw backed out, pump plunger should travel 26/64" from closed to wide open position. Adjustment can be made by bending throttle connector rod at lower angle. (Use tool T109-75.) Pump travel can be measured by placing gauge T109-117S on rim of bowl cover around plunger shaft and measuring from top surface of connector link at pump shaft.
METERING ROD ADJUSTMENT: Should be made when reassembling carbureter or when leaner than standard rods are installed. (Do not disturb pump adjustment.) Correct setting of metering rods is important. Procedure is as follows:
A. Insert two metering rod gauges, No. T109-113 in place
of metering rods. Be sure gauges seat in metering rod jets.
B. Install metering rod pin and pin spring in metering rod arm.
C. Rest screw driver lightly on metering rod arm until metering rod pin rests on shoulders of notches in both gauges. A slight bend in metering rod arm may be necessary to equalize.
D. With throttle valves seated and metering rod pin resting lightly on notches in both gauges, tighten anti percolator arm screw.
E. Remove gauges and metering rod pin and install metering rods, discs, metering rod spring, pin and pin spring, and hook metering rod spring on metering rods.
