Choke Vacuum Kick The choice diaphragm adjustment controls the fuel delivery while the engine is running. It positions the choke valve within the air horn by action of the linkage between the choke shaft and the diaphragm. The diaphragm must be energized to measure the vacuum kick adjustment. Vacuum can be supplied by an auxiliary vacuum source.
Choke Unloader (Wide Open Kick) The choke unloader is a mechanical device to partially open the choke valve at wide open throttle. It is used to eliminate choke enrichment during cranking of an engine. Engines which have been flooded or stalled by excessive choke enrichment can be cleared by use of the unloader. Refer to carburetor adjustments for adjusting procedure.
Fast Idle Speed Fast idle engine speed is used to overcome cold engine friction, stalls after cold starts and stalls because of carburetor icing. Refer to carburetor adjustments for procedure.
Fast Idle Cam Position This adjustment is used to provide cam stop speeds at proper times during engine warmup.

On a new vehicle (under 300 miles/500km) reduce RPM settings by 75 RPM. Tampering with the carburetor is a violation of Federal law. Adjustment of the carburetor idle air fuel mixture can only be done under certain circumstances as explained below. Upon completion of the adjustment, the concealment plugs must be replaced. This procedure should only be used if an idle defect still exists after normal diagnosis reveals no other faulty condition such as incorrect basis timing, incorrect idle speed, faulty hose or wiring connections, etc. Adjustment of the carburetor air fuel mixture should be performed after a major carburetor overhaul.
(1) Remove the concealment plug. Set the parking brake and place the transmission in neutral. Turn all lights and accessories off. Connect a tachometer to the engine. Start the engine and allow it to warm up on the second highest step of the fast idle cam until normal operating temperature is reached return the engine to idle and turn off engine.
(2) Remove air cleaner, disconnect and plug the vacuum hoses at the EGR valve and ESA computer. No vacuum is to be applied to the computer. Disconnect and plug canister purge hose at canister.
(3) Disconnect carburetor electrical connector.
(4) Remove the PCV valve from the cylinder head and allow the valve to draw underhood air.
(5) Start and run engine.
(6) Disconnect the vacuum supply hose from the choke diaphragm at the carburetor and install the propane supply hose in its place. Other connections at the tee must remain in place.
(7) With the propane bottle upright and in a safe location, open the propane main valve. Slowly open the propane metering valve until the maximum engine rpm is reached. When too much propane is added, engine rpm will decrease. "Fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest engine rpm.
(8) With the propane still flowing, adjust the idle speed screw on the solenoid to obtain the correct propane rpm. Again, "fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest engine rpm. If there has been a change in the maximum rpm, readjust the idle speed screw to the specified propane rpm.
(9) Turn off the propane main valve and allow the engine speed to stabilize. Slowly adjust the mixture screws by equal amounts, pausing between adjust- ments to allow engine speed to stabilize, to obtain the smoothest idle at the correct idle rpm.
(10) Turn on the propane main valve end "Fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest engine rpm. If the maximum engine speed is more than 25 rpm different than the specified propane rpm, repeat steps (8) through (11).
(11) Turn off propane main and metering valves. Remove the propane supply hose and reinstall the heated air sensor hose. Reinstall new concealment plugs. Reconnect vacuum line on ESA, reconnect carburetor electrical connector. Perform the Solenoid Idle Stop, Idle RPM, and Fast Idle Speed Adjustment Procedures.
13. ACCELERATOR PUMP STROKE MEASUREMENT 2280 MODELS
(1) Remove bowl vent cover plate and vent valve lever/and spring. Caution: Do not dislodge or lose vent valve lever retainer.
(2) With pump link in No.1 inner hole and levers installed, adjust the throttle blades to the closed position by backing out the idle speed screw.
(3) Set the distance from the top of pump lever to the top of bowl vent cover surface to .050" +/- .005" by bending the pump link. Check that wide open throttle can be reached without binding.
(4) Install vent valve lever and spring and gasket and bowl vent cover plate.
(5) Reset Idle Speed.
NOTE: IF THIS ADJUSTMENT IS CHANGED, BOTH THE BOWL VENT AND THE MECHANICAL POWER VALVE ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE RESET.
