Choke Plate Pulldown Adjustment

Bend a 0.026 inch diameter wire gauge at a 90 degree angle approximately one eighth of an inch from one end. Insert the bent end of the gauge between the choke piston slot and the righthand slot in choke housing. Rotate the choke piston lever counterclockwise until gauge is snug in the piston slot. Exert a light pressure on choke piston lever to hold the gauge in place, then use a drill with a diameter equal to the specified pulldown clearance between the lower edge of choke plate and carburetor bore to check clearance.
To adjust the choke plate pulldown clearance, bend the choke piston lever as required to obtain specified setting. When bending the lever, be careful not to distort the piston link. Install the choke thermostatic spring housing and gasket. Set the housing to specifications.
