 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
