3. Install the idle adjusting needles and
springs. Turn the idle adjusting needles in with
the fingers until they seat, then back them out one
full turn. Be careful not to force either needle
against its seat, as this will groove the tip of the
needle, making it impossible to correctly adjust
the idle mixture.
1. Fit the piston of the thermostat lever, link,
and piston assembly into its chamber in the choke
housing. Install the choke housing shaft and lever
assembly, guiding the tip of the shaft into the hole
provided for it in the thermostat lever. Install
the thermostat lever spacer, lockwasher, and nut,
in that order.
4. Install the new distributor check valve and
check valve retainer.
5. Install the choke shaft and the drum-like
nozzle tube extensions. Be sure the narrow end
of the egg-shaped hole in each nozzle tube ex
tension faces toward the fuel inlet hole in the
throttle body.
6. Install the choke lever and choke lever
nut and lockwasher.
7. Referring to the lines and numbers scribed
during disassembly, install the choke plates with
choke plate screws and lockwashers. Carefully
check to make sure the choke plates work freely
and do not rub on the nozzle tube extensions.
STEPS 8 AND 9 FOLLOWING, APPLY ONLY TO
THE SPARK VALVE EQUIPPED LINCOLN
CARBURETOR.
8. Using a new adapter body gasket and a
new adapter body screw gasket, install the spark
valve adapter body and the adapter body screw to
the throttle body with Snap-On Tool No. MC-119.
The adapter body screw should be tight to prevent
an air leak.
9. Install the spark valve, using a new spark
valve gasket. The spark valve must be tightened
securely to prevent any air leak.
STEPS 10 THROUGH 12 FOLLOWING, APPLY
ONLY TO THE DASHPOT EQUIPPED MERCURY
CARBURETOR.
2. Set the choke housing plate in position and
install the choke housing plate screw.
3. Set the thermostat housing gasket in po
sition over the plate, check for proper alignment
of the slot and all holes in the gasket and plate,
then install the thermostat housing and the three
thermostat housing clamps and screws. Be sure
the bent-in toes of the clamps are toward the rim
of the thermostat housing, clamping it securely.
To return the thermostat to the original factory
setting, align the scribe mark on the rim of the
thermostat housing with the center raised index
on the choke housing.
4. A definite resistance should be felt when
pressing downward on the choke housing shaft
lever, indicating that the thermostat lever is
properly engaging the thermostat spring. If this
is not encountered, loosen the three clamp screws
slightly and rotate the thermostat housing one
complete turn in the direction opposite that in
dicated by the arrow on the thermostat cover.
Tighten the clamp screws and recheck.
C. Reassembly - Throttle Body - Governor
Equipped Carburetors
1.
Slip throttle shaft with attached bearing
into throttle body and install wire throttle shaft
retainer with bent-in sides of retainer pressing
against throttle shaft bearing.
10. Place a new dashpot gasket on the dashpot
and, while depressing the dashpot lever, slip the
dashpot into position in the throttle body.
11. Using a new dashpot gasket, install the
dashpot cap nut. Hold the hex head dashpot nut
and tighten the dashpot cap nut.
12. Insert the dashpot check valve spring and
new check valve into the passage in the throttle
body. Install the dashpot check valve retainer. In
later model carburetors which have the check valve
incorporated in the top of the dashpot itself it is
recommended that the entire dashpot assembly be
replaced if suspected of not functioning properly.
B. Reassembly - Automatic Choke Unit
2. Referring to lines and figures scribed on
throttle plates and throttle body during disassembly,
install the two throttle plates, using four (4) new
throttle plate screws. See figure 52. One of the
throttle plates has a slot in its edge. This throttle
plate is to be installed in the throttle bore at the
governor side of the throttle body. See figure 51.
The slot in the plate must be aligned with the
small distributor vacuum take-off hole in the
throttle bore. Install the four throttle plate screws
snugly, but do not tighten them. Check throttle
plate operation to be sure it is free and unre
stricted. With the throttle plates closed, hold the
throttle body up to the light. Little or no light
should show between the throttle plates and the
throttle bore of the carburetor. If the throttle
