ADJUSTMENTS
CHOKE ADJUSTMENT
With the dash mounted choke control toggle flipped to the off
position, the choke plunger must be seated on the fuel passage
way in the carburetor. If the plunger is not seated on the
passage way, the engine will flood or run too rich, causing
plug fouling and very poor engine performance.
If cable slack is too great there will be excessive toggle free
play resulting in hard starting. Also the half on position used
for intermittent applications will not function.
1. Flip the choke toggle to the full off position (1).
2. Loosen adjustment locknut (2) on the carburetor.
3. Turn cable sleeve adjusting nut (3) counterclockwise until
toggle has no freeplay, then rotate it clockwise until .125-
.250in (.3-.6cm) toggle free play(4).
4. Tighten adjustment locknut (2).
5. For VM carburetors, repeat steps 4 and 5 for remaining
carburetor.
