Inspect the mating surfaces of carburetor and intake
manifold. Be sure both surfaces are clean and free of nicks,
burrs or other damage.
Place a new carburetor gasket on intake manifold surface.
Carefully place the carburetor on intake manifold.
Install carburetor mounting bolts and tighten alternately, a
little at time, to compress carburetor gasket evenly. The bolts
must be drawn down tightly to prevent vacuum leakage
between the carburetor and intake manifold.
Connect the throttle cable, vacuum hoses and fuel hoses.
Check carefully for worn of loose vacuum hose connections.
Check to be sure the choke valve opens and closes fully
when operated.
Check to see that full throttle travel is obtained.
Install air cleaner. The air cleaner should be cleaned or
replaced at this time to ensure proper carburetor perfor-
mance.
10. Connect battery cable.
CAUTION
The practice of priming an engine by pouring gasoline into
the carburetor air horn for starting after servicing the fuel
system should be strictly avoided. Cranking the engine and
priming by depressing the accelerator pedal several times
should be adequate.
11. Set carburetor idle speed and mixture adjustment.
