28. Fill the bowl with fuel.
29. With fuel in bowl, slowly open the throttle and
observe the accelerator pump pressure relief valve
exhaust ports and where it seats into the bowl. See
Figure
6E-33. Fuel should not be bleeding back into
the bowl from the exhaust ports or where the relief
valve seats, but a steady stream of fuel should dis-
charge from the discharge nozzle.
30. With fuel in bowl, rapidly open the throttle atid
observe the exhaust ports of the pressure relief valve.
See Figure
6E-33. Fuel should~exhaust’from the ac-
