2. Adjustment of positive opening of 1st choke
butterfly (strangler flap fully closed ) :
Set strangler flap control lever ( 14 ) to
fully closed position.
Hold butterfly control lever ( 13 ) in closed
position so that stop (12) contacts edge of
lever ( 14 ).
Measure distance between the edge of the
first choke butterfly and the carburettor body.
This measurement must he :
a = 1.25? 0.05 mm
If not, adjust the positive opening distance of the
butterfly by means of adjusting stop ( 12 ). This
clearance should always he measured with ad-
justing stop lock-nut ( 11 ) fully tightened.
3. Adjustment of clearonce of strangler flap (13)
activated by vacuum capsule (10).
Actuate strangler flap control lever ( 14) and
maintain in fully closed position.
Fit VCICUUII~ gouge on V~CUUIII capsule ( 10 ).
With minimum v(~cu”m depression of 400 mm of Hq
the thrust lever (8 ) should come into contact with
stop (9 ). If not, replace YClCUUrn capsule ( 10 ).
With these setti”gs,meosureme”t (G a aa taken
between the edge of the strangler flap and the
bore must
be between 3.25 and 3.75 mm.
If not, adjust stop screw (3).

PETROL PUMP
AC DELCO pump reference E/PE 4.777
Auto-regulating diaphragm lift and force pump
operated by eccentric on camshaft.
This pump is fitted with (I device which enables it
to function on re-cycled petrol. This re-cycling is
effected by means of a by-pass .( 1 ) fitted on the
carburettor cover.
Excess petrol supplied by the pump returns to the
tank across an orifice calibrated from 0.8 to 0.9mm
in the by-pass union (1).
PETROL PUMP OUTPUT
(I) Otitput nil, maximum pressure : 325 mbars (4 7 psi).
b) Output through open carburettor float needle
valve.

INSTALLATION OF PETROL PUMP
Fitted on the crankcase with :
one (( Phenoploste P12 )) spacer 5 + 0.1 mm thick.
two (< SOCOID a> paper gaskets fitted dry.
Tightening torque for petrol pump nuts :
21 mN ( 2.1 m.kg ).( 15 l/4 ft.lb )
CHECKING THE STROKE OF THE PUMP PUSH-ROD
a) With the pump removed and using (I depth gouge A,
take the measurement between the upper face of
the spacer ( with paper joints ) and the camshaft
eccentric in its high position and in its low
position.
This measurement should be :
- Upper position of eccentric 27.4 ? 0.35 mm
- Lower position of eccentric 32.4 rk 0.35 mm
b) Measure the length u a a) between the spring stop cup
and the tip of the pump control push-rod.
This length should be :
a = 4.5 mm minimum

CHECKING THE PETROL PRESSURE USING APPARATUS 4005-T
Install apparatus 4005-T as shown above.
Disconnect reservoir return line from the carburettor and fit plug A on by-pass union ( 1 1.
Unscrew knurled knob B by approximately one and a half turns.
Start the engine
a) Check pressure of petrol at nil output :
b
c -Fully screw down knurled knob B and read the stabilized pressure on the pressure gouge which should
be 325
mbors ( 47 psi ) maximum.
Check the proper sealing of the pump return valve
-Stop the engine. There should be no sudden drop in pressure
Check the proper sealing of the carburettor needle valve :
- Unscrew knurled plug B and start the engine. Let it run for a few minutes.
-Stop theengine.
There should be no sudden drop in pressure.
= Remove apportus 4005=T and fit to carburettor the tank supply and return pipes (after having removed plug A 1:
CHECKING THE PUMP FOR LEAKS
- Close the pump return pipe.
-- Blow compressed air under pressure of 800 mbar
( 11.6 psi ) into Suction tube.
Immerse pump in a container filled with clean
petrol.
There should be no sign of dny leak.
Work on petrol gauge sender unit :
To work on the petrol gouge sender unit it is
necessary to drain the tank (drain plug 1, and
~emcwe it. It is held by double strap fixed by
nut (2 1.
Tightening of nut (2) = 15 mN ( 1.; m.kg )
