6. ALTERNATIVE METHOD
NOTE:
l This method is to be used ONLY when it is absolutely
necessary to adjust the idle mixture screw or if the air
flow meter is replaced without the aid of a CO meter..
0 Thefnscribed number shows the depth of the idle mix-
ture screw positioned for presetting. ,, ,, ‘-
Example: Inscribed number depth c ”
83 - 8.3 mm (0.326
in.)
Depths over 10 mm with a decimal point are abbreviated, i.:
Example: Inscribed number depth
15 - 11.6 mm (0.463 in.)
(a) Remove the rubber plug from the air flow meter.
(b) Measure the depth of the idle mixtura, adjusting
screw with vernier calipers;
(cl Adjust the depth of idle mixture adjusting screw by
turning the screw with SST.
SST 09243-00020
(d) Reinstall the rubber plug into the hole of the idle mix-
ture adjusting screw.
