    CARBURETER ADJUSTMENTS
    gauge extending over pump link where it extends through pump plunger
    shaft. Hold gauge vertical to insure correct readings. Turn knurled nut
    of gauge until lip rests on pump link. Read number on gauge indicated
    by notch in knurled nut. Repeat with throttle in wide open position.
    The difference in readings obtained at closed and at wide open throttle
    should be "11" (11/64")
    plunger travel. Adjustment should be made by bending throttle connector rod
    at lower angle.
    Metering Rod Adjustment: Correct setting of metering rod is important
    and must be made after pump adjusment. Insert metering rod gauge T109-102
    in place of metering rod. Hold gauge vertical to insure seating tapered
    end in meter-
    Float Adjustment: With bowl cover assembly inverted and float resting
    on pin in seated needle, the vertical distance from the projecting tip
    on edge of float chamber cover to soldered seam of float should be 5/16". Do
    not depress float lip against spring in needle, but let float rest of its
    own weight. Adjustment is made by bending lip of float which contacts pin
    in needle. Do not bend front of float when adjusting as damage will result.
    Use gauge T109-107.
    Pump Adjustment: With pump connector link in place, back out throttle
    lever adjusting screw to allow throttle valve to seat in bore of carbureter.
    Place universal pump travel gauge T109-117S on bowl cover with projecting
    lip of
