PUMP ADJUSTMENT: With pump connector link in place and throttle adjustment
screw backed out, pump plunger should travel 31/64" 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 around plunger shaft and measuring from top surface
of connector link at pump shaft.
METERING ROD ADJUSTMENT should be made when re-assembling 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. Remove air horn and climatic control assembly.
B. Back out throttle lever adjusting screw, so that throttle
valves close tight, and loosen anti-percolator arm screw.
C. Remove pin spring from metering rod pin and slide the
pin from metering rod arm, taking care that pin springand metering rod springs
are not bent or lost. Lift out metering rods and remove brass metering rod
disk retainer by loosening small brass screw. Remove, but do not lose the
two small metering rod disks beneath this plate.
D. Insert two metering rod gauges, tool No. T109-27 in place of metering
rods, seating tapered end in metering rod jet. Put metering rod pin in place
in metering rod arm. Metering rod pin should now rest at bottom of notches
in metering rod gauges allowing for .005 inch variation on either gauge.
Tighten anti-percolator arm screw with metering rod arm in this position.
E. Remove gauges and replace metering rod disk, retainer and screw. Install
metering rods, spring and pin spring and connect metering rod spring. Graphite
grease should be put in holes so that pump arm shaft operates freely.
