Pump Adjustment: With throttle valve seated and connector link in place pump plunger should travel 11/64` from closed to wide open position. Adjustment should be made by bending throttle connector rod at lower angle. Pump travel can be measured by using universal pump stroke gauge T109-117S by placing base of gauge on ridged portion of bowl cover so that projecting portion of pump gauge rests on top surface of connector link at pump shaft. Hold gauge vertical. The difference between the number shown by index mark on gauge, at wide open and closed positions, should be 11.
Metering Rod Adjustment: Correct setting of metering rod is important and must be made after pump adjustment Insert gauge (tool T109-102) in place of metering rod, seating tapered end in metering rod jet Hold gauge vertical to insure seating. With throttle valve seated, press down lightly on piston link directly over piston. There should he less than .005" clearance between metering rod pin and shoulder in notch of gauge. Gauge must not drag on pin Adjustment can be made by bending lip on piston link so that it contacts pump arm. (Use tool T109-105.) Remove
