plates are properly installed, tighten the throttle
plate screws and stake them.
be installed before installing the choke shaft. See
step 12 following.
3. Replace the idle speed screw and spring.
Turn the idle speed screw in approximately 14
complete turns.
4. Install a new throttle operating shaft gasket
and, with the throttle plates held in the closed
position, place the throttle operating shaft into
place in the throttle body. The accelerating pump
lever of the throttle operating shaft should extend
toward the fuel inlet side of the throttle body and
should be held down in the wide-open throttle po
sition. When this assembly is properly installed,
it should hold the throttle plates closed when the
accelerating pump lever is up, but should permit
the plates to move freely when the lever is down.
11. Referring to the numbers and lines scribed
on the choke plates during disassembly, install the
choke plates, choke plate screws, and lockwashers.
Carefully check to make sure the choke plates work
freely and do not rub on the nozzle tube extensions.
12. On carburetors having the choke lever
separate from the choke shaft, install the choke
bracket and choke lever and tighten the choke
lever clamp screw.
5. Place the throttle operating shaft housing
and hand throttle bracket in position and install
the two throttle operating shaft housing screws and
lockwashers.
6. Install the throttle lever. Carefully line
up the hole in the throttle lever with the hole in the
throttle operating shaft and drive the throttle lever
pin in place. Tighten the throttle lever clamp
screw.
7. Press the throttle shaft bearing on the
governor side of the carburetor into position.
8. Install the new idle adjusting needles with
the original springs. With the fingers, turn the
idle adjusting needles in until they seat in the idle
discharge hole, 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.
9. Place the new distributor check valve ball
in its passage and install the check valve retainer.
On the carburetors which also require a check
valve spring, install the ball, spring, and retainer,
in that order.
10. Install the choke shaft and drum-like
nozzle tube extensions. Be sure the narrow end
of the egg-shaped hole in each nozzle tube extension
faces toward the idle adjusting needle side of the
throttle body. On carburetors which have the choke
lever riveted to the shaft, the choke bracket must
FIGURE 53. PROPER DIAPHRAGM STRETCHING
PROCEDURE
13. Place the new diaphragm and rod as
sembly in the governor housing, being sure that
all holes in the diaphragm are aligned with the
threaded holes in the rim of the governor housing.
The bent end of the rod should point out. Place
the diaphragm cover in position, being sure the
vacuum passage holes in the governor housing,
diaphragm, and diaphragm cover are all correctly
aligned. Insert the eight diaphragm cover screws
and lockwashers, spacing evenly the three screws
drilled for lock wiring. Turn the screws in until
the flanges nearly meet but do not tighten the
screws. Pull the end of the diaphragm rod back
firmly to a point directly above the threaded hole
for the governor cover screw at the bottom of the
