  A vacuum passage in the throttle body to
the control valve vacuum chamber transmits the
manifold vacuum. As the truck decelerates, the
high manifold vacuum acts on the valve and
over-comes the tension of the valve spring. This
opens the valve and fuel enters from the float
bowl into the passage around the valve. This fuel,
then, flows up the vertical passage, past the air
bleed and into the horizontal discharge nozzle. The
fuel is discharged in the over-run control valve
vacuum chamber and then down the same passage
that transmits the manifold vacuum. This fuel-air
mixture is discharged into the engine making the
mixture too rich to burn and prevents popping on
deceleration. The outward appearance is similar
to a power valve but the two units must not be
interchanged. Over-run control valves are identi
fied by #215 stamped on one of the wrench
surfaces.
    F. GOVERNOR  
         
    (1) INTERNAL VACUUM TYPE 2300G,
4150G - A Holley Centri-Vac vacuum operated
engine speed governor may be incorporated
on these carburetor models as a positive means
of controlling engine speed. The governor con
tains a throttle actuating mechanism attached
to the primary throttle shaft of the carburetor,
through an overriding clutch. The throttle actuat
ing mechanism consists of a diaphragm assembly,
governor spring, and governor lever assembly.
Below governing speeds, the operator, through a
simple clutch arrangement on the throttle body of
the carburetor, controls the throttle body of the
carburetor, controls the throttle plates in the usual
manner. When governing speed is reached, a com
bination of venturi and manifold vacuum acts on the
governor diaphragm to close the throttle plates.
Two calibrated by-pass jets in the vacuum pass
ages meters the vacuum from the venturi and the
manifold to provide the correct balance for proper
operation of the governor. At speeds below
governing rpm, this vacuum is weakened by air
bleeding through the governor valve in the gover
nor spinner so that no premature governing action
will occur. Filtered air from the carburetor air
cleaner enters the governor system through a
passage in the main body and then into the
governor vent tube. The air flows through an air
line to the housing enclosing the governor rotor or
spinner valve. A combination of low pressure from
the venturi and manifold transmitted through the
governor system passages, draws the air past the
governor valve and through another air line to the
throttle actuating unit on the carburetor. In the
controlling unit, centrifugal force acting on the
rotor, which has kept pace with engine speed,
overcomes the tension of the valve spring and
tends to close the governor valve when governing
speed is reached. This greatly restricts the
amount of air bleeding through to the diaphragm
on the carburetor, thus allowing the combined
venturi and manifold pressure differential to
operate the diaphragm. As the pressure differen
tial across the diaphragm increases, the dia
phragm moves the governor lever against the
tension of the governor spring to close the throttle
plates. The governed engine speed is held constant
by centrifugal force on the valve balanced against
the tension of the valve spring. Any slight change
in engine speed due to load variation will cause the
governor valve to react immediately, either
increasing or decreasing the amount of air bleed
ing through the governor valve orifice. A change
in the amount of air bleed will, in turn, cause an
instant response from the diaphragm to increase
or decrease the throttle plate opening. When the
accelerator is released, control is takenfromthe

      Anti-backfire Valve      
                 
  E. ANTI-BACKFIRE VALVE -Some models
of these carburetors are equipped with an anti
backfire valve which eliminates popping back on
deceleration. This device is located in the middle
of the throttle body. The valve by-passes a certain
amount of air through the valve instead of all the
air flowing around the throttle plates. On deceler
ation, when the manifold vacuum reaches approxi
mately 22" Hg, the valve closes and prevents the
air from flowing through. This creates such a rich
mixture in the engine that it will not burn, thus
eliminating popping on deceleration.
 
                 
        NOTE        
                 
    This valve has been factory adjusted, and
must be serviced as a complete assembly.
