DISASSEI~BLY
Before disassembling: Clean outside of carburetor from all
reign material.
When cleaning a completely assembled carburetor
do not blow with compressed air, you may collapse the float.
For a complete disassembly, follow the sequence of part refer-
ence numbers in the carburetor exploded view, Fig. 3. Nozz[e
Ref. 9, Fig. 1 is not removable.
IMPORTANT: Before removing Throttle and Choke levers, note
their position and location. Optional mounting is available and
may differ from exploded view i11ustration.
CLEANING
Wash all parts in a mild solvent or fuel. Blow air through ori-
fices (holes) and channels in throttle body and fuel bowl. Do
not probe with any sharp tools which might damage small
metering holes.
REASSEMBLY
Replace all worn or damaged parts -- use all new gaskets.
Note; Body Gasket (18) is put on before float is assembled,
and round opening in gasket fits into groove of Venturi (11).
Be sure that Notch in Venturi is facing toward float needle
valve -- this is clearance for Main nozzle in throttle body.
Assemble Throttle Valve (8) and Choke Valve (25) with
numbers facing to the outside, when valves are in the closed
MP 0 R TAN T: Be careful in tightening brass screws and fittings,
so as not to strip threads and screw driver slots.
Tighten firmly but not excessively.
Valve Seat (16) -- 40 to SO inch pounds torque
Main Jet (22) - SO to 60 inch pounds torque
FLOAT SETTING, Fig. 2
With fuel bowl removed and float assembly in place, turn throttle
body upside down so that float assembly is on top. Check float
height with a depth gauge. Setting should be 1.0|0 inch -+ .020

ADJUSTMENTS, Fig. 1
Turn Idle speed screw (5), Fig. 3,in until throttle valve
slightly opera With engine warmed up and running, turn adjust-
ing screw in or out as required to obtain desired low idle speed
(1000 to 1200 r.p.m.).
The Idle adjusting needle (14) should be seated lightly (clock-
wise), then backed out ] ._+ 1/8 turns as a preliminary setting.
With engine warmed up and running at about 1200 R.P.M., fine
tune idle mixture for smooth steady running.
The Main Metering Jet (4), for high speed operation is fixed
(not adjustable), as standard equipment, and used in the ma-
jority of engine applications. However, an Adiustable Jet carbu-
retor is available, and the High Speed Adiustment is made by
means of the Needle Assembly, Item 22A of Fig. 3, in the
following manner:
1.
As a preliminary setting, turn needle out from its seat about
1 to 1¼ turns open.
2. With engine warmed up and running at idle speed, crack
throttle open suddenly.
3.
If engine hesitates before speeding up, open Main Jet
Needle 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Repeat until engine goes from idle
to high speed without hesitation.
