SETTING: 1-19/64"~GAUGE, BT-144
With the air horn inverted and the gasket in place, position the float level gauge over the float so that it rests against the pump side of the power piston shaft, with the outer gauge leg in line with the center of the float. Bend the float arm to adjust.
SETTING: 57/64"~GAUGE, BT-144
With the idle screw backed out and the throttle valves completely closed, bend the pump rod as necessary with tool BT-18 to obtain the proper measurement from the top of the air horn casting to the top of the pump rod.
