RCB 9C-300

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. For 1932-1936 Replacement. (216 and 235 Cu. In. Engines, l-1/4" S.A.E. Flange). Remove old flange gasket. New asbestos flange gasket No. 839632 1/8" thick must be used between carburetor and engine manifold. Bend accelerator throttle rod at ends sufficiently before attaching to carburetor throttle lever to provide necessary clearance and to permit smooth operation and travel of carburetor throttle lever.

2. For 1937-1952 Replacement. (216 and 235 Cu. In. Engines, l-1/4" S.A.E. Flange). Install new flange gasket No. 839632 1/8" thick on top of old heat insulator. This

insures proper operation of vacuum operated power system.

For 1950-52 Replacement (235 Cu. In. Truck Engines with 1-1/2" S.A.E. flange). Moulded heat insulator No. 3692799 V2" thick must be used between carburetor and engine manifold. This insures proper operation of vacuum operated power system.

For 1950-1952 Replacement. (235 Cu. In. Powerglide Engines with 1-1/2" S.A.E. Flange). Moulded heat insulator No. 3692799 V2" thick must be used between carburetor and engine manifold. This insures proper operation of vacuum operated power system.

FLOAT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

With air horn fully assembled, air horn gasket in position and assembly up-ended on a flat surface (Figure 1):

1. Place float level gauge in position with gauge tang inserted in discharge nozzle.

2. Bend float arms vertically so that each float just touches top portion of gauge.

3. Carefully bend float arms horizontally so that each float is centered in the gauge.

4. Tilt assembly 90° each side and check that floats do not touch gauge.

FIGURE 2

FLOAT DROP ADJUSTMENT As shown in Figure 2, with the air horn held right side up and floats suspended freely, bend the float tang at the rear of the float assembly so that the bottom of the float is 1-3/4" below the gasket surface.

THROTTLE RETURN CHECK INSTRUCTIONS

1. Completely assemble carburetor on engine manifold. Be certain accelerator pull back spring No. 3695705 is used.

2. If necessary, bend the throttle return check bracket or throttle lever contact arm to center the adjusting screw on the radius of the contact arm.

3. Run the engine until it is warmed up.

4. Adjust the throttle stop screw and idle adjusting needle to secure a smooth idle at 500 R.P.M. in "N" position.

5. Shut off engine. Insert .090" feeler gauge between carburetor choke lever cam and fast idle lever. (Figure 3.)

6. Using a 3/8" wrench turn the adjusting screw until it just contacts the throttle lever contact arm. Hold flats on shaft with wrench whenever adjusting screw is turned.

7. Install air cleaner. Start engine and recheck idling adjustment.

Float level gauge M-250 is available from Borroughs Tool Company, Kalamazoo, Michigan
