REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

NOTE: Label all vacuum and fuel lines to avoid confusion.

Piston Engines
  1. Remove the air cleaner and duct.
  2. Disconnect the accelerator linkage from the throttle lever.
  3. Disconnect and plug the fuel supply and fuel return lines and plug these.
  4. Disconnect the leads from the throttle solenoid and deceleration valve at the quick-disconnects.
  5. Disconnect the carburetor-to-distributor vacuum line.
  6. Disconnect the throttle return spring.
  7. Disconnect the choke cable, and, if equipped, the cruise control cable.
  8. Remove the carburetor attaching nuts from the intake manifold studs and remove the carburetor. The attaching nuts are tucked underneath the carburetor body and are difficult to reach; a small socket with an ``L'' shaped hex drive, or a short, thin wrench sold for work on ignition systems will make removal easier. To install:
  9. Install a new carburetor gasket on the manifold.
  10. Install the carburetor and tighten the carburetor attaching nuts.
  11. Connect the throttle return spring.
  12. Connect the accelerator shaft to the throttle shaft.
  13. Connect the electrical leads to the throttle solenoid and deceleration valve.
  14. Connect the distributor vacuum line.
  15. Connect the fuel supply and fuel return lines.
  16. Connect and adjust the choke cable and, if equipped, the cruise control cable.
  17. Install the air cleaner and duct.
  18. Start the engine and check for fuel leaks.
Rotary Engine
  1. Remove the air cleaner assembly, complete with its hoses and mounting bracket.
  2. Detach the choke and accelerator cables from the carburetor.
  3. Disconnect the fuel and vacuum lines from the carburetor.
  4. Remove the oil line which runs to the metering oil pump, at the carburetor.
  5. Unfasten the idle sensor switch wiring, if so equipped.
  6. Remove the carburetor attaching nuts and/or bolts, gasket or heat insulator, and remove the carburetor.
  7. Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal. Use a new gasket. Fill the float bowl with gasoline to aid in engine starting.
