CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS

FLOAT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT (Use Tool M-250)

With air horn fully assembled, air horn gasket in position and assembly inverted (Figure 1) :

1. Place float level gauge, M-250, in position as shown, with gauge projection inserted in discharge nozzle.

2. Carefully bend float lip vertically so that each float just touches top portion of gauge. If one float is higher than the other, slightly bend the float arms to bring them into alignment.

3. To prevent sides of floats from rubbing inside of bowl 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.

FLOAT DROP ADJUSTMENT (Use Tool BT-93)

To insure sufficient entry of fuel into the bowl under high speed operation it is necessary to check and adjust the float drop as shown in Figure 2. With the air horn held upright and the floats suspended freely, carefully bend the drop tang at the rear of the float assembly so that the bottom of the float is 1-3/4" below the air horn gasket surface. Use float drop setting gauge BT-93. Install air horn assembly to bowl and tighten cover screws evenly and securely.
