9. CHOKE TIE ROD

Function

The function of the choke tie rod is to tie together the operation of the choke plate, bi-metal spring, high idle cam and choke gap.

IMPORTANT

Prior to making any adjustments related to the choke, the tie rod must be adjusted to its proper basic length. This insures that when the choke flap shuts the high idle cam is turned fully to the high step.

Adjustment

1. Block throttle linkage partially open to free choke cam. (See Fig. 1)

2. Loosen set screw at top of choke rod. (See Fig. 2)

3. Lift relay lever at bottom of choke rod to its full up position. (See Fig. 3)

4. Close choke flap fully, allowing connecting lever to center itself, and tighten set screw.(See Fig. 4)

Note: Late types have 1.5 mm. allen set screw.
