to remove the adjacent taper

otherwise these

throttle valves
are
removed,
they
should be marked so that
each
valve
may be
re-
installed in the barrel from
which
it
was

moved and may be accurately positioned in the
barrel of throttle body. Using a sharp scriber,
lightly scratch one line on one valve and its
barrel and two lines on the other val

edges of the valve stem. See figure 3-86. After
b. Cleaning Carburetor Parts
Regardless of the number of new parts that
are used in rebuilding a carburetor, the job in
the end will not be
satisfactory
unless all metal
parts are
thoroughly cleaned. Because
of the na-
ture
of carburetor
parts,
with numerous small
passages sub
ject
to fouling with t
enacious
car-
bon and gum
deposits, ordinary
cleaning proc-
esses are entirely inadequate. The correct pro-
cedure is to use a cleaning bath in
which
metal
parts can be immersed and "soaked" for suffi-
cient time
after disassembl y
to
thoroughly
clean
all
.surfaces
and channels.
Bendix Carburetor Cleaning
Solvent
has been
developed
especially for cleaning
carburetors,
and is recommended for this
purpose.
Regard-
less of the cleaning
material
used,
however,
be
sure to thoroughly rinse the parts in
kerosene,
distillate, or white gasoline to remove all gum-
my deposits that have been
softened by
the
cleaner.
Before
immersing in the cleaning
bath,
all
lead ball plugs and taper drive plugs should be
removed so that the cleaner can penetrate and
wash through the
channels,
thus removing all
foreign material. Removal of all carbon f
rom
the inside of the throttle barrel is particularly
important.
c.
Inspection
of Ca
r bur et or Parts
All metal
parts
should be
thorou ghly cleaned
and each part should be carefully inspected for
wear or damage as follows:
1. Automatic
Chok
e.
Inspect choke parts as
described in paragraph
3-31.
2. Air Horn. Make certain that the vacuum
cylinder is thoroughly
clean.
