CHOKE AND COUNTERSHAFT
LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
1. Bend a 0.026 inch wire gauge
(tool 9597) at a 90° angle, approxi-
mately Vs inch from its end.
2. Block the throttle about half-
open so the fast idle cam does not
contact the adjusting screw. Loosen
the choke countershaft lever clamp
screw. Insert the bent end of the
wire gauge into the choke housing
piston bore so that it is between the
top edge of the slot in the choke
piston cylinder and the bottom of the
slot in the choke piston (Fig. 7).
Hold the wire gauge in place by ex-
erting light pressure on the counter-
shaft lever.
3. Insert the specified size drill or
gauge (Fig. 7) between the upper
