If carbureter loads up after considerable service, check float level. Wear
on lip of float lever will raise float level. Before adjusting float, be
sure float lever pin is firmly seated. Reset float level by bending lip of
float lever away from needle to raise level, or bend lip toward needle to
lower float level. Bend vertical lip of float only.
If motor stalls while idling, set throttle lever adjusting screw so motor
runs approximately 400 r. p. m. Then set idle adjustment screvh to specifications.
If these adjustments do not correct the trouble, remove idle orifice tube
and plugassembly. Clean tube and passages with compressed air.
If acceleration is not satisfactory, remove pump jet and clean with compressed
air. However, it is usually advisable to replace the pump jet, as its cost
is nominal. All jets must be seated gasoline tight. Poor acceleration may
be due to damaged or worn plunger leather in accelerating pump, sediment
in pump cylinder or clogged intake ball check at bottom of pump cylinder
and discharge ball check in discharge passage. If plunger is removed from
cylinder, use care in installing to avoid damage to plunger leather.
