Carburetor - MOTORCRAFT 2150 2-Bbl: Overhaul: Reassembly

NOTE: Use new gaskets and seals. Make sure that new gaskets fit correctly and that all holes and slots are punched through and correctly located. Replace Elastomer valve if removed from main body.

To reassemble carburetor, reverse disassembly procedure and note the following:

  1. When installing new Elastomer check valve (if removed), lubricate tip of new valve and insert tip into center hole of accelerator pump cavity. Use needle nose pliers inserted in fuel bowl and pull valve in until it is fully seated. Cut off excess valve tip at retaining shoulder and remove tip from fuel bowl.
  2. When installing idle mixture needles and springs, turn screws in with fingers until lightly seated. Then back screws off seated position 1 1/2 turns for an initial adjustment. DO NOT  install idle limiter caps until final adjustments have been made.
