CARBURETER ADJUSTMENTS
Metering Rod Adjustment: Correct setting of metering rod is important. Metering
rod position should be checked when carburetors are serviced or when leaner
than standard rods are installed. Correct procedure is as follows: Insert
gauge (Tool No. T109-25) in place of metering rod, seating tapered end in
metering rod jet. Hold gauge vertical to insure seating. Metering rod pin
in pump arm should rest at bottom of notch in metering rod gauge with throttle
fully closed and upper end of connector rod centering freely in hole in pump
arm. If it does not, bend lower end of throttle connector rod, so that top
end centers freely in hole. Remove rod from carbureter to bend.
Remove gauge, replace metering rod and disc. Do not for-get to hook up metering
rod spring. Be sure metering rod is in jet. If metering rod shows wear, replace
both metering rod and metering rod jet.
Adjustment of Anti-percolator: Anti-percolator should be checked after metering
rod setting. Do not disturb setting of metering rod. Procedure: Back out
throttle lever adjusting screw. With throttle valve seated, adjust lip on
pump arm to depress anti-percolator stem so bottom of indicator line is flush
with top of anti-percolator plug.
Fast Idle: No adjustment necessary. If link shows signs of tampering, replace
with new part.
To Adjust Unloader: With throttle wide open, adjust lip on fast idle link
to give 1/a" clearance between lower edge of choke valve and inner wall
of air horn.
Lockout Adjustment for Choke: With throttle and choke valves wide open, adjust
lip on choker lever to give 1/16" clearance between lip and fast idle
link assembly. Lock must prevent choke valve returning to closed position.
Choke mechanism must not bind at any position.
