FUEL
SYSTEM
There
are six adjustments: curb idle speed, curb
idle mixture, float level, float drop, accelerator pump, and fast idle.
This
carburetor has six basic systems: float, low
speed, main metering, power, accelerator pump

and
choke.

E-26.
Float System

The
float system controls fuel level in the
car­

buretor fuel bowl. It maintains constant fuel level
to assure proper metering through all operating
ranges.

Fuel
enters the carburetor through the inlet screen
and
inlet valve. It flows past the valve
needle
and into the fuel bowl.
Fuel
continues to flow until

increasing
fuel level raises the float to a position
in
which it forces the inlet valve
needle
into its seat.
This
closes
the inlet valve. As fuel is used

from
the bowl, the float
moves
downward slightly.
This
allows the valve
needle
to
move
away from its
seat.
This
again allows fuel to enter the fuel bowl
to maintain fuel level. In this manner, float level maintains fuel level constant. See Fig. E-17. 12838

A
float prong, at the
rear
of the float arm
between

the float hangers, prevents the float from moving too far downward, yet allows it to
move
downward

far
enough to allow maximum fuel flow into the
bowl. A
pull
clip connects the float arm to the valve needle.
This
keeps the
needle
from sticking in the seat because of
dirt
or gum formation.

E-27.
Idle System

During
engine
idle operation, air flow through the

carburetor
venturi is very low. It is insufficient to
cause fuel to flow from the main discharge nozzles.
Therefore,
the idle system supplies fuel-air mixture

during
idle and low-speed operation.

The
idle system consists of the idle tubes, idle pas­

sages,
idle air bleeds, idle mixture adjustment
needles, off-idle discharge
slots
and idle discharge ports. See Fig. E-18.

A—Throttle
Valve
in Off
Idle
Position
In
idle speed position, each throttle valve is slightly
open.
This
allows a small amount of air to pass

between
the carburetor bore
wall
and the throttle valve. Since there is not enough air flow for ven­

turi
action, manifold vacuum draws fuel directly

from
the fuel bowl through the idle system.

Fuel
from the float bowl passes through each main metering jet into the main well. A metered amount
of fuel flows through the idle tube restriction. It
then passes up the idle tube to a passage where

it
is mixed with air drawn through two calibrated
idle air bleeds.
Fuel-air
mixture then flows through

a
calibrated restriction into a vertical passage. It passes through another calibrated restriction to the off-idle discharge slot just above each throttle
valve.
This
injects additional air. It then flows
through the idle discharge port. The idle mixture
needle
controls the amount of fuel-air mixture

which
enters the carburetor bore at curb-idle posi­ tion of the throttle valve.

As
the throttle valve
opens
farther, more and more of the off-idle discharge slot is
exposed
to manifold
vacuum.
This
slot supplies additional fuel-air mix­
ture to
meet
off-idle
engine
requirements.

E-28.
Main
Metering System

As
the throttle valve continues to open, its
edge
moves
away from the carburetor bore
wall.
This
reduces vacuum applied to the idle discharge port
and
off-idle discharge slot, so that the idle system

ceases
to supply fuel-air mixture.

With
increased throttle opening, air velocity through the venturi increases.
This
causes a de­
crease of pressure in the carburetor bore, which is multiplied in the venturi. See Fig. E-19.
Since
the low air pressure (vacuum) is in the
venturi
at this time, fuel flows as follows:

Fuel
from the float bowl passes through the main metering jets into the main well and rises into the main well tubes. Air enters the main well through the main well air
bleeds
and mixes with 120

E

FUEL
SYSTEM
port into the venturi.

The
check
ball
in the pump plunger head is a vapor
vent for the pump well. Without this vent, vapor
pressure in the pump would force fuel from the
pump system into the
engine
manifold, causing

hard
starting when the
engine
is hot.
There
is another
hole
in the pump lever, into which
the accelerator pump rod can be inserted to pro­ vide quicker pump action.
This
adjustment setting
is used only in extreme cold temperature condi­ tions. The pump discharge check
ball
in the dis­
charge passage prevents discharge of fuel from the
pump nozzles when the accelerator pump is in­
operative.

E-31.
Choke System

The
choke system consists of a manually-operated
choke valve, a fast-idle connecting rod, and a fast-
idle arm. The choke valve is offset-spring loaded
to prevent over-choking during the starting
warm-
up period. When the choke valve is moved to a
closed position for starting, the fast idle connector

rod
revolves the fast idle
link.
This
action increases
the
engine
idle speed to prevent stalling during the

warm-up
period. A fast-idle connector rod return
spring
prevents
partial
closing of the choke valve.

The
double-action fuel pump consists of a metal
body, a rubber diaphragm, rocker arm, valves,

Nut springs, gaskets, and a glass sediment bowl complete

The
metal pump body provides
a
work­
ing housing for the diaphragm, lever, valves, and springs. The fuel pump is mounted on the left side
of the
engine
and is actuated by an eccentric on the
camshaft. An air
dome
is cast into the metal cover
to relieve the carburetor
needle
valve and the fuel
pump diaphragm of excessive pressure when the

carburetor
needle
valve is closed.

Tracing
pump operation from the beginning, the
camshaft eccentric forces the diaphragm up, over­
coming spring pressure.
This
action creates a
partial
vacuum
in the pump chamber.
Fuel
from the main

tank
is forced into the low-pressure pump chamber
through the open disc valve. Incoming fuel supplies
the force necessary to open the valve, which is

a
one-way check valve. As the
engine
camshaft continues to rotate, spring pressure forces the

diaphragm
downward as the pump rocker arm
follows the camshaft eccentric to its low
spot.

The
downward action of the diaphragm
closes

the intake valve and forces fuel to the carburetor

reservoir
through the pump
outlet
valve. Both intake and
outlet
valves are one-way check valves
opened and closed by fuel flow. No mechanical components are required in the control of valve
operation.

Fuel
is delivered to the carburetor only when the float
needle
is off its seat. When the fuel level in the carburetor bowl is high enough for the float to
force the
needle
against its seat, pressure backs up
to the fuel pump air
dome
and causes the diaphragm
to
stop
pumping. In this position, the pump is said
to be balanced because the pressure in the pump- to-carburetor line equals that of the diaphragm

spring.
In this way, fuel from the pump to the
carburetor
is always under pressure. The carburetor

uses
fuel, causing the float to drop and
pull
the

carburetor
needle
valve off its seat. Pressure in the pump immediately drops as fuel is delivered to the

carburetor
reservoir. Almost instantaneously the

diaphragm
again starts operating to pump more 125

fuel. The diaphragm can start and
stop
many
times
in
each mile of vehicle operation, but the pump
actuating lihkage is always in operation while the

engine
is running. The fuel pump incorporates a
pulsator and pulsator chamber to dampen the
effect

of pump pressure pulsations on the carburetor

needle
valve.
This
prevents high fuel level in the

reservoir
that would result from the
needle
being

jarred
away from its seat. Also, operating
economy
would be affected because a high fuel level usually results in an over-rich mixture.

The
actuating linkage has its own spring to ensure
continuous contact of the lever to the camshaft
eccentric.

This
fuel pump has a sediment bowl and filtering
screen which is attached to the top of the pump by
a
wire clamp and thumb nut. The screen and sedi­
ment bowl should be cleaned at least twice yearly
to prevent trouble due to a blocked screen or water
freezing. The bowl should be washed and wiped

dry
and the screen dried and then cleaned with a
stiff
brush.
When reassembling the bowl make cer­
tain
that the cork gasket is not broken; reverse it
and
position it flat on the seat, then install the
bowl and tighten the thumb nut securely. After
cleaning, start the
engine
and carefully inspect the
bowl for leakage.

E-48.
Vacuum
Pump

The
double-action fuel pump resembles two single-
action pumps placed one
above
the other. A single
fuel pump rocker arm actuates the two separate diaphragms. One diaphragm is part of the fuel
delivery pump and operates as described in Par.
E-45.
The other diaphragm is part of the vacuum
pump and operates as described here.

As
the actuating lever forces the diaphragm upward against spring pressure, air is forced through the

outlet
port
into
the
engine's
intake manifold. On
the return stroke, spring pressure forces the
dia­
phragm downward, creating a
partial
vacuum and
opening the inlet valve. In this manner, air is pumped out of the windshield wiper motor and
into

the intake manifold. When the wiper motor is shut off, manifold vacuum holds the diaphragm against its spring so that the
full
motion of the actuating
lever is not accompanied by a
complete
up-and-
down motion of the diaphragm.

When
the windshield wiper motor is turned on, but manifold vacuum is greater than the vacuum
created by the
booster
pump, air
flows
from the
wiper motor through both valves of the vacuum
booster.
As manifold vacuum drops off as a result
of the
engine
operating under low
speed
and high load, the vacuum created by the vacuum
booster

will
be greater than
engine
intake manifold vacuum

and
the pump
will
operate the wiper motor when the wiper control switch is turned on.

•
Refer to Fig. E-29. Remove the
eight
cover attaching screws and
lockwashers, and remove the cover, diaphragm

spring
and spring seat. Detach the diaphragm rod
from the rocker arm and remove the diaphragm.
The
valve assemblies are pressed

with the point of a knife blade. If installing new valves be sure the inlet and
outlet
valves are
correctly positioned and stake them lightly with

Pump Installation

a.
Make certain mating surfaces of fuel pump and

engine
cylinder case are clean. Cement a new gasket to mounting flange of fuel pump.

b.
Position fuel pump on cylinder block, so that

cam
lever of pump rests on fuel pump cam of cam­
shaft. Secure pump to block with two cap screws
and
lock washers. Torque
bolts
13 to 17 lb-ft. [1,8

c.
Connect intake and
outlet
fuel lines to fuel
pump.

Fuel
Pump Testing

Whenever
the fuel pump is to be checked for pres­

sure
or volume, follow the procedure outline in

Par.
C-23 of this manual.
Fuel
pump pressure is
important
for low pressure
will
seriously affect en­

gine
operation and high pressure can cause exces­
sive fuel consumption and flooding of the carbure­
tor.
Should there be any doubt of normal opera­
tion, check the procedure as outlined in Par. C-23.
In
addition to proper fuel pressure, volume of the
pump is also important. When testing for proper
pump pressure, be certain to also
test
for volume
as the pump may build up sufficient pressure, but
fail
to produce sufficient volume.

E-67. FUEL
PUMP
—
DAUNTLESS
V-6
ENGINE

Jeep vehicles equipped with the Dauntless V6-225

engine
have a special fuel pump which has a metering
outlet
for a vapor return system. Any

vapor
which forms is returned to the fuel tank
along with hot fuel through a separate line along­
side the fuel supply line.
This
greatly reduces any

possibility of vapor lock by keeping cool fuel from
the tank constantly circulating through the fuel
pump.

Fuel
pump pressure at carburetor (inlet) on Daunt­
less
V6-225
engine
should be 3% lbs.
[0,264
kgm-cm2] minimum at idle with the vapor return
hose

squeezed off. With the vapor return
hose
open
pump pressure should be 2j^ lbs. [0,176 kg-cm2]
minimum.

The
Dauntless V-6
engine
is equipped with a sealed

unit,
non-repairable, single-action fuel pump (Fig.

E-33).

Note:
All Dauntless V-6
engines
are equipped with

a
throw-away can-type gasoline filter installed in
the fuel line
between
the fuel pump and the
car­
buretor.
This
unit must be replaced every
12,000
miles
[19.200
km.] of vehicle operation.

E-68.
Fuel
Pump Removal

To
remove the fuel pump from the Dauntless V-6
engine, disconnect the fuel inlet, fuel
outlet
and fuel return lines from the pump. Remove the two
fuel pump body attaching cap screws and lock

washers.
Pull
the fuel filter bracket free and remove the pump and gasket. Discard pump and gasket.
Install
new pump in reverse procedure of removal.

E-69.
AIR
CLEANER

Servicing
of the air cleaner is properly taken care of as part of the periodic lubrication and servicing of the vehicle. For this reason, air cleaner servicing
information is given in the Lubrication Section.

Refer
to and follow the instructions given there.

E-70. ACCELERATOR LINKAGE
The
accelerator linkage is properly adjusted when
the vehicle leaves the factory. However, in time
components parts
will
become
worn and require re­
adjustment to maintain a smooth even control of
engine
speed. On Models equipped with F4
engines

the adjustment is made at the adjusting block,

Fig.
E-34. Loosen the lock nuts, and adjust the length of the accelerator rod so that when the
car­

buretor throttle valve is wide open the accelerator
treadle
will
just strike the toe board. After correct
adjustment is made tighten both lock nuts firmly.
To
adjust the accelerator linkage on V6
engines

loosen
the lock nuts securing the accelerator rod
housing to its securing bracket and adjust the length
of the accelerator rod so that when the carburetor throttle valve is wide open the accelerator treadle

will
just strike the toe board. After correct adjust­
ment is made, tighten lock nut firmly, see Fig. E-35 for Dauntless V-6 engine.
