ADJUSTMENTS

Pump Adjustment

With pump connector link in place and throtle adjustment screw backed out, pump plunger should travel 7/32" from closed to wide open position. Adjustment can be made by bending throttle conector rod at lower angle.

Anti Percolator Adjustment

Done after the pump and metering rod adjustments.

When the carburetor gets hot and the throttle is closed, the gas can percolate (boil). This is especially true with today's gasoline, which has a lower boiling point. The Anti percolator can help with this percolation.
