TYPICAL GAUGE KIT
FOR SERVICING ROCHESTER CARBURETORS
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since service
adjustments on all models of Rochester Carburetors have been kept to a
minimum, the number of special tools and gauges required for field
service adjustments
|
are comparatively
few. The necessary tools and gauges are available, in compact kits,
through United Motors Service Distributors everywhere.

1. The
practice of indiscriminately install-ing
lean main metering jets to improve economy is without basis.
Lean jets are intended for high
altitude use only and will not improve mileage at average or
sea level altitudes. Excessively lean jets may result in burned engine
valves.
2. Mileage
complaints should always be
verified with a gas-per-mile-gauge
with the owner driving.
Many factors, other than
carburetion, affect mileage.
3. As
mentioned before, CARBURETION
SHOULD ALWAYS BE CHECKED
LAST IN ENGINE TUNE-UP.
4.
Do not remove throttle
valves or shafts
|
from Rochester
Carburetors. All idle drillings
are made with relation to a proper fitting valve. Since
removing and replacing the valve will change this rela-tionship, rough
or erratic idling may be the result.
5. Be
certain all carburetor adjustments are
made in proper sequence according
to factory specifications.
6. Always remember -
DIRT IS A CAR-BURETOR'S WORST
ENEMY. A good cleaning job
will often result in a satis-fied
customer. Always remove gum de-posits
with a good gum solvent. In many
instances it may be advisable to
install a fuel filter to
minimize dirt deposits.
