b. Cleaning and Inspection
Soak all parts, except thermostatic coil and
hous
ing assembly,
in Bendix Carburetor Clean-
ing Solvent or its equi
valent,
then thoroughly
rinse in kerosene, distillate, or white gasoline
to remove all gummy deposits that have been
softened by the solvent. Wipe parts dry with
clean cloth.
It
is particularly necessary for the piston
and its cylinder in air horn to be thoroughly
clean and free of burrs or scores. Do not use
any abrasive material for cleaning piston and
cylinder.
If
piston or cylinder is scored replace
the affected part.
Check choker shaft for free action in air
horn.
If
shaft is worn so that excessive play in
bearings exists, replace the shaft
assembly.
If
chocker valve is bent or otherwise damaged it
should be replaced.
Inspect thermostatic coil housing for cracks
and thermostatic coil for distortion or other
damage.
If
damaged, replace the coil and hous-
ing assembly.
Raise the air horn gasket and check the choke
suction hole in bowl cover, which may be par-
tially clogged with
carbon.
Check and clean out
suction hole with drill of proper size as speci-
fied under Carter
Carburetor
and Choke Calib-
rations (par. 3-1)
.
c.
Assembly and Installation
