Inspection and Reassembly
Reassemble in reversed order of the above by noting the following points:
- Check float needle valve and seat for wear (leak test).
- Fuel line connector threads in cover must not be damaged.
- Check condition of gaskets, replace if necessary.
- Ensure that accelerating pump diaphragm is in good condition.
- Check float for leaks, replace of defective.
- Ensure that all jets are of proper size by comparing specifications
on page F 11.
When replacing jets or check valves, ensure that only genuine
SOLEX-stamped parts are used. The parts are carefully calibrated to
permit precise settings and low fuel consumption.

- Install venturis. When installing the venturis make certain that
the venturi throats face up. that is, the writing on the venturi
tubes should be seen from above. Firmly tighten venturi set screws but
do not overtighten.
- Check radial clearance of throttle shaft. Excessive clearance
allows false air to pass through and impairs engine starting and
idling. .
- Inspect idle mixture adjusting screws; bent, burred, or broken
needle tips call for replacement of the screw,
