HOW IT WORKS
All M2ME models include an integral 1" or 2" paper fuel filter with check valve mounted in the front of the float bowl behind the fuel inlet nut to give maximum filtration of incoming fuel. The check valve on all models is used to shut off fuel flow to the carburetor to prevent fuel leaks if a vehicle roll-over should occure.
1979 E2ME GENERAL APPLICATION:
- Buick 3.8L (231") V6 California Automatic
- Chevrolet Passenger 3.8L (231") V6 California Automatic
- Oldsmobile 3.8L (231") V6 California Automatic
- Pontiac 3.8L (231") V6 California Automatic
The float assembly for this application is different from previous Dualjet carburetors in that the hanger design is modified to allow use of an electrical solenoid in the float bowl. Thus, the float is not interchangable with any previous models.
1979 E2ME FLOAT ADJUSTMENT:
- Hold retainer firmly in place
- Push float down lightly against needle
- Gauge from top of casting to top of float - gauging point 3/16" back from end of float at toe
- If float level varies over +/- 1/16" from specifications, adjust float level as follows:
- Level too high: Hold retainer firmly in place and push (1) and (2) and push down on center of float pontoon to obtain correct setting.
- Level too low:
- Life out metering rods
- Remove solenoid connector screws
- Turn lean mixture solenoid screw clockwise counting number of turns until screw is bottomed lightly in float bowl. Record number of turns counted.
- Turn screw counter-clockwise and remove screw
- Lift solenoid and connector from float
- Remove float and bend float arm up to adjust
- Visually check float alignment after adjusting
- Reverse procedure to re-install parts removed, making sure solenoid lean mixture screw is backed out of float bowl exactly the same number of turns counted at disassembly
