(4) Press the step-up piston all the way down and push
moderately on the rod lifter tab so that you can tighten the
rod lifter lock screw (figure 12-13).

(3) To adjust pump travel, loosen the pump arm
adjusting lock screw and rotate the sleeve until the proper
measurement is obtained; then tighten the lock screw.
12-5. Choke Vacuum Kick Adjustment.
The choke diaphragm positions the choke valve within
the air horn. Energize the diaphragm to measure the
vacuum kick adjustment.
a. Open the throttle valves and close the choke.
Release the throttle first, then release the choke.
b. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the carburetor
and connect it to the hose from the vacuum supply
(tool C-4207-A) with a small length of tube acting as a
fitting. Apply 15 inches of vacuum.
c. Insert a 0.110-inch feeler gage between the choke
valve and the wall of the air horn (figure 12-15).
Apply sufficient closing pressure on the lever to which

newly assembled carburetors, do the following:
(1) Back off the idle speed adjusting screw to
completely close the throttle valve. The fast idle cam must
be in the open choke position.
(2) Turn the idle screw clockwise until it just
contacts the stop.
(3) Continue to turn two complete turns.

(1) Be sure the accelerator pump "S' link is in the
outer hole of the pump arm.
