insulator
mountings attached to the frame side

rail
brackets. The
rear
of the engine-transmission
assembly is supported by a rubber insulator
mounting under the
rear
of the transmission on
the frame center cross member.
This
cross member
is bolted to the frame side
rails
so that it can be
dropped when removing the transmission or engine-

free side and vertical oscillation to effectively

neutralize
engine
vibration at the source.

The
rubber
insulator mountings should be inspected
for separation and deterioration by jacking the
power plant away from the frame, near the sup­
ports. Vibration cannot be effectively absorbed by
separated or worn insulators. They should be re­ placed if faulty.

D-6. ENGINE DISASSEMBLY

Engine
disassembly is presented in the sequence to be followed when the
engine
is to be completely
overhauled after removal from the vehicle. Some
of the operations of the procedure are also ap­
plicable
separately with the
engine
in the vehicle,

provided
that wherever necessary the part of the

engine
to be worked on is first made accessible by
removal
of
engine
accessories or other parts.

When
the disassembly operations are performed

with
the
engine
out of the vehicle, it is assumed,
in
this procedure, that all of the accessories have been removed
prior
to starting the disassembly

and
the oil has been drained.
In
addition to the instructions covering operations
for disassembling the
engine
out of the vehicle,

special
instructions are given to cover different
operations required when disassembly is
done
with the
engine
installed.

During
disassembly operations, the
engine
should
be mounted in a suitable
engine
repair
stand. Where

practicable,
modify or adapt an existing repair

stand
as necessary to accommodate the engine. If

an
engine
repair stand is not used, take care to

perform
disassembly operations in a manner that

will
protect personnel against an accident and the
engine
and its parts against damage.

NOTE:
If the
engine
is being disassembled because
of possible valve failure, check the valve tappet
clearance
before disassembly. Improper valve

clearance
could be the possible cause of valve

failure,
indicating a need for more frequent valve
checks and adjustments. 41

there is a relief valve that
opens
to reduce high
(dangerous) pressures in the fuel tank. In con­

junction
with the pressure relief valve there is a
vacuum
relief valve to
stop
collapse of the fuel

tank
in case of a plugged system or failure of the demand valve. When replacing the gas cap, the
same type must be used as originally installed.

E-8.
System Inspection Test

The
fuel emission vent system should be checked

carefully
to ensure the absence of any leaks to the
atmosphere of either liquid or vapor which might
affect the accuracy, safety, or performance of the control system.

To
assure that the sealed system has been properly

installed,
the following
test
procedure has been
developed.
Disconnect the vent line from the fuel tank system
to the activated charcoal canister, induce l/i p.s.i.
air
pressure. If this pressure can be maintained for

a
few seconds the vent system is assured to be sealed. DO NOT add air pressure to the canister
because damage can occur to the demand valve if
care
is not taken.

CARBURETOR
—
HURRICANE
F4
ENGINE

A
single-barrel manual choke, down-draft carbure­
tor (Fig. E-6) is used on the
Hurricane
F4 engine.
The
carburetor is internally vented by a tube
opening located in the air horn body of the
car­

buretor.
This
opening is connected by a rubber
tube to the air
outlet
horn of the air cleaner thus
allowing only filtered atmospheric pressure air
to enter the float chamber for balance pressure
of the carburetor fuel.

Note:
A carburetor with a specific flow character­

istic
is used for exhaust emission control. The
carburetor
is identified by a number, and the correct

carburetor
must be used, when replacement is
necessary.

Early
production models
CJ-3B,
CJ-5,
CJ-5A,
CJ-6,
and
CJ-6A
have a
Carter
YF-938SD
carbure­
tor superseding the earlier
YF-938SC,
YF-938SA,

or
YF-938S
models.

Note."
Conversion kits for changing earlier models
to SD models are available. See Par E-23. It is recommended that when a carburetor is converted
that a tag be fashioned stamped with the new model number and installed under one of the air

horn
screws.
Look
for such a tag to determine if
the carburetor has previously been converted.

Carburetors
listed above are all in the same YF
series and have only minor differences. Descriptions
and
repair procedures given in the following
para­
graphs apply equally to all
YF-series
carburetors.
YF-series
carburetors employ manual and vacuum
control of the metering rod and accelerator pump.
The
carburetor controls and vaporizes the fuel
through five separate systems: float system, low-
speed system, high-speed system, choke system,

and
accelerating-pump system. A description of the function and operation of each system provides an over all description of the carburetor.

For
identification, the series designation is stamped
on the body under the name
Carter
and the model
designation is stamped on a flange protruding
from
the body.

Note:
When checking for carburetor icing causes,
also check the vacuum-pump-to-manifold vacuum
line connector. 113

Float System

The
float system, Fig. E-7, consists of a float,
float
pin,
air horn gasket and the
needle
and seat assembly. These parts control the fuel level in the

carburetor
bowl, a supply being maintained for all
systems under all operating conditions. To prevent
float
vibration
from affecting the fuel level, the
inlet or float valve is spring loaded. Should the

needle
and seat
become
worn, they must be re­
placed
with a matched set, including the spring,

which
is the only way they are supplied. When
reinstalling
the float, be sure to install the float pin

with
the
stop
shoulder on the side away from the bore of the carburetor.

E-12.
Float Adjustment

Correct
float level setting is required for accurate
metering of fuel in both low- and high-speed jets.

To
set the float, remove and invert the bowl cover. Remove the bowl cover gasket. Allow the weight
of the float to rest on the
needle
and spring. Be

sure
there is no compression of the spring other

than
the weight of the float. Adjust the level by
bending the float arm lip that contacts the
needle
(not the arm) to provide specified clearance be­
tween the float and cover. The specified clearance of the float is
L74\F
[6,74 mm.] on current models
(including
Exhaust
Emission Control) and [7,93 mm.] on early models shown as A in

Low-Speed System

Fuel
for idle and early part-throttle operation is
metered through the low-speed system. The low-
speed system is illustrated in Fig.

Liquid
fuel enters the idle well through the metering rod jet.

Low-speed
jet measures the amount of fuel for
idle and early part-throttle operation. Air-by-pass,
economizer, and idle air bleed are carefully
cali­

brated
orifices which serve to break up the liquid
fuel
and mix it with air as it
moves
through the passage to the idle port and idle adjustment screw

port.

Correcting Acceleration
Flat
Spot

Early
production
Carburetor
Models 938-S, 938-
SA,
938-SC

Inasmuch
as a flat
spot
on acceleration or low speed
stumble can
come
from causes other than
car­

buretor
malfunction, it is recommended that
engine

tuning be thoroughly checked before attempting
any
actual carburetor work. Make sure that
ignition, compression, and timing are correct and
that fuel pump is supplying enough gas. Also, the F-head
engine
employs a water-heated intake

manifold.
Proper vaporization of the fuel depends
on correct intake manifold temperature. Since this
temperature is controlled by the cooling system
thermostat, include an operational check of the
thermostat when diagnosing the stumble. Operating
temperatures consistently below
155°F.
can cause stumble.

If
the stumble persists, a
YF-938-S,
YF-938-SA,

or
YF-938-SC
carburetor can be converted to a
YF-938-SD
carburetor by installing Special Kit
924161, consisting of a pump discharge check
needle, a metering rod, and a metering rod jet. If this kit is installed, the pump discharge check

needle
replaces the original
ball,
weight, and re­

tainer
and the small wire-type retainer used with
the
ball
check assembly must not be reinstalled.

When
installing the kit, check the size of the pump discharge jet, No. 2, Fig. E-14.
Early
production
YF-938S
and
YF-938SA
carburetors have a .025" [0,635 mm.] jet installed. If the carburetor being
converted has a .025" jet it must be opened up to .031" [0,787 mm.] by running a No. 68
drill
through
the jet as shown in
Fig.
E-14.
The jet must be drilled
as it is a pressed in part and cannot be replaced.
Upon
completing the installation of the conversion

kit,
mark
or tag the carburetor to indicate that it
is a
YF-938SD.

Steep-Grade
Carburetor
Kit

In
the
field
where a vehicle equipped
with
Carter carburetor 938-S is required to
idle
on
steep

slopes,
flooding
of the carburetor sometimes results.

A
steep-grade
carburetor kit is available that
will

allow satisfactory
idle
operation under this condi­

tion.
This kit (Part
No.
#94481,
Carter # 75-960U)
contains a metering rod, a metering rod jet, and a
plug.

To
install
this kit, replace the standard metering

rod
and metering rod jet
with
those
contained in the
kit.
Place the small
brass
plug
in the accelerator
pump
well.
Exert
finger pressure only when in­

stalling
this
plug.
Forcing the
plug
in too far
will
damage
the accelerator
jet.
Make certain the meter­

ing
rod and
float
level
are set to specifications.

When
reworking
the carburetor to include this
steep-grade
kit, check to determine if the seal (Carter #121-172) and retainer (Carter #136-152)
are installed. If
these
parts are not present, they

should
be installed.

DAUNTLESS
V-6

ENGINE

A
double-barrel, manual choke, down-draft car­
buretor (Fig. E-15) is used on the Dauntless V-6 engine.
Note: A carburetor
with
a specific
flow
character­

istic
is used for exhaust emission
control.
The
carburetor is
identified
by a number, and the
correct carburetor must be used, when replacement
is
necessary.

The carburetor
fuel
bowl
is located
forward
of
the main bores. The carburetor is compact in design

in
that all of the
fuel
metering is centrally located.
See Fig. E 16.

This
carburetor
uses
a calibrated cluster design

with
main
well
tubes,
idle
tubes, mixture
passages,
air
bleeds and pump jets in one removable as­

sembly.
This cluster assembly can be easily re­

moved
for cleaning and inspection purposes. It is

mounted
on a
flat
portion
of the carburetor
bowl

in
front
of the main
venturi.
The
idle
and main

well
tubes
are precision
pressed
fit in the cluster
body.
They cannot be serviced separately. The

main
nozzles and
idle
tubes
are
suspended
in the
main
wells of the
float
bowl.

The main metering jets are of the
fixed
type. A
system of calibrated air bleeds gives correct
fuel-

air
mixture throughout all operational
ranges.
This
carburetor has a vacuum-operated power sys­

tem
which
supplies extra
fuel
when needed. Power
mixtures
are regulated by drop in engine
manifold
vacuum,
regardless of throttle opening. Thus, addi­

tional
fuel
is supplied for power mixtures accord­

ing
to engine demands.
The accelerator pump plunger has a vapor vent

ball
in its head. This
ball
and its
seat
form
a valve

to
vent any
fuel
vapors
which
form
in the pump

well
to the
fuel
bowl
during hot-engine operation.
This
ensures
that the pump
well
and
passages
will

be primed
with
solid
fuel
at all times and im­ proves accelerator pump action. The carburetor is
internally
vented through a hole

in
the air horn.
