Choke Shim Installation

BEFORE INSTALLING THE CHOKE SHIM READ THROUGH THE STEPS 1 THROUGH 5.

CAUTION:
These Choke Shim installation procedures must be performed on a cool carburetor/thermo wax element.

















1. Install the choke shim which is included in the EMR-92-011 emission kit as described in Figures 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14.



Shown in Figure 10 is a basic outline view of the choke mechanism.

Note:
The area between the choke adjustment screw and the plunger is behind the choke linkage and is hidden from view.



2. Using the Fast Idle Release Driver tool, insert the tool between the thermo wax element housing and the choke linkage.

3. Spread the choke linkages to create a gap between the choke adjustment screw and the plunger of the thermo wax element. Make sure not to interfere with the throttle lever or other linkages.

4. With the linkages spread, install the cap portion of the Choke Shim onto the threaded end of the choke adjustment screw. The cap portion of the shim should be inserted between the plunger and the choke adjustment screw.

5. Remove the Fast Idle Release Driver. Carefully twist the handle of the choke shim and allow the handle to break off from the cap portion.
