Fast Idle Cam Position

NOTE: Rivets are used to hold choke cap in position. Ensure mandrel is well below rivet head. Then, drive mandrel down or out with a 1/16" punch. Using a 1/8" (No. 30) drill bit, drill out rivets. Drive rivets out with a 1/8" punch. Remove standard screw, retainer and choke cap.
  1. Set fast idle screw on kickdown step of cam against shoulder of high step. Manually close choke plate, and measure distance between air horn wall and lower edge of choke plate.
  2. To adjust, bend right fork of choke bi-metal shaft (engages fast idle cam) up or down.
    NOTE: After adjustment, choke cap and retainer must be installed with rivets (supplied in service kit) and standard screw.
