THROTTLE BODY DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove idle adjusting needles and

throttle valves from throttle body.
Due to the close tolerance fit of
the throttle valve, and the fact that the idle discharge holes are drilled
in relation to the throttle valve in the closed position, the throttle
body and valve should be replaced as a complete assembly when wear is
noted at the throttle valve, shaft, or throttle body bore.

cam.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove choke suction tube from
throttle body.

plunger should not be immersed in solvent. Clean pump plunger in clean gasoline

compressed air and blow off all parts until they are dry.
CAUTION: Do not pass drills or
wires through calibrated jets or passages as this may enlarge orifice and
seriously affect carburetor calibration.
