MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS
CARBURmOR REMOVAL
Flooding, stumble on acceleration and
other performance complaints are in many
instances, caused by the presence of dirt,
water or other foreign matter in the
carburetor. To aid in diagnosing the cause
of complaint, the carburetor should
be
carefully
removed
from
the
engine
without removing the fuel from the
bowls.
The contents of the bowls may then be
examined
for
contamination
as
the
carburetor is disassembled.
1. Remove the air cleaner (Page 10-67)
Remove the heater hose from the choke
shield (if so
equipped).
2.
Remove the throttle cable or rod
from the throttle
lever.
Disconnect the
distributor vacuum line, in-line fuel filter
and the choke heat tube at the carburetor.
3.
Disconnect the choke clean air
tube from the air
horn.
4. Remove the carburettor retaining
nuts; then remove the carburettor. Re-
move the carburettor mounting gasket,
spacer (if equipped) and lower gasket,
from the intake
manifold.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean
the
gasket
mounting
surfaces of the spacer and carburettor.
Place the spacer between two new gaskets
and position the spacer and gaskets on the
intake manifold. Position the carburettor
on the spacer and gasket and secure it with
the retaining lockwashers and nuts. To
prevent leakage, distortion or damage to
the carburettor body flange, snug the nuts;
then, alternately tighten each nut in a
criss-cross pattern to the specified torque.
2. Connect the in-line fuel fllter
throttle cable, choke heat tube, and
distributor vacuum line. Position the
heater hose behind the choke shield.
3. Connect the choke clear air tube
to the air horn.
4.
Adjust the engine idle speed, the
idle fuel mixture, anti-stall dashpot (if so
equipped) and the accelerating pump
stroke (if required). Install the air cleaner
(Page 10-67)
DISASSEMBLY
To facilitate working on the car-
burettor, and to prevent damage to the
throttle plates, install carburettor legs on
the
base.
If legs are unavailable, install
four 5/16 x 2 1/2 inch bolts and 8 nuts;
install nuts on the bolts, above and below
the carburetor base.
Use a separate container for the
component
parts
of the various assemblies
to facilitate
cleaning,
inspection, and
assembly.
The
following
is
a
step-by-step
sequence of operations for completely
overhauling
the
carburetor.
However,
certain components of the carburetot may
be
serviced
without
a
complete
disassembly of the entire unit.
