MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS
Dismantling
To facilitate working on the carburettor, and to prevent damage to the throttle plates, install carburettor legs on the base if legs are unavailable, install four bolts
about 2 1/4 in. long of the correct diameter and nuts on the carburettor base.
Use a separate container for the component parts of the various assemblies to facilitate cleaning, Inspection and assembly.
The following is a step-by-step sequence of operations for completely overhauling the carburettor. However, certain components of the carburettor may be serviced without a complete disassembly of an entire unit. For a complete carburettor overhaul, follow all of the steps. To partially overhaul either carburettor or to install a new gasket kit, follow only the applicable steps.
Refer to Fig. 32 on page 25 for parts identification.
