With pump connector link in medium stroke and throttle adjustment screw backed out, pump plunger should travel 21/64″ from closed to wide open position. Adjustment can be made by bending hrottle connector rod at lower angle.
Starter switch: Connect the red (hot) wire to switch terminal closest to motor.
Unloader adjustment: with throttle wide open, distance between upper edge of choke valve and inner wall of air horn should be 3/16″. Adjust by bending lip on fast idle connector link. With throttle wide open, push choker valve open. Choke should lock in wide oopen position. If it does not lock, recheck unloader adjustment. Closing the throttle will release choker valve. Choker trip lever is notched out for this setting.
Fast idle adjustment: Hold choker valve tightly closed and adjust fast idle arm srew to give .018″ opening between edge of throtle valve and bore of carburetor, size opposite port.
