FAST IDLE CAM POSITION ADJUSTMENT
Carter TQ Fast Idle Cam Adjustment
  • NOTE: If fast idle cam position adjustment is changed, choke unloader and secondary throttle lockout adjustments must also be reset
  • Place fast idle speed screw on second highest step of fast idle cam against shoulder of high step
  • Apply light pressure on fast idle control lever ot move choke valve towards closed position
  • Insert correct gauge (.100") between bottom of choke valve and air horn wall at throttle lever side
  • NOTE: Use care not to change choke position during measurement
  • If adjustment is needed, bend fast idle connector rod at curved angle until correct gap is obtained
IDLE ENRICHMENT VALVE TEST
  • Start engine and warm to normal operating temperature
  • Turn engine OFF and remove air cleaner
  • Install jumper wire from carburetor idle stop switch to ground
  • Connect tachometer to engine
  • Disconnect hose to idle enrichment system diaphragm at plastic connector
  • NOTE: remove connector from carburetor hose before proceeding
  • Start engine
  • Place fast idle speed screw on setting (slowest speed) step of fast idle cam
  • Attach outside vacuum source to enrichment diaphragm with 3 or 4 feet of hose
  • Apply at least 15" Hg and note any engine RPM change
  • If speed can be controlled by vacuum, system is working properly
  • If not, block inlet air passage and note engine RPM change. If speed can be controlled in this manner, diaphragm is leaking and/or air valve is stuck open
  • If speed cannot be controlled, air valve is stuck closed
  • Clean air valve, apply 15" Hg vacuum, check if speed is controlled
  • If speed cannot be controlled, replace the enrichment diaphragm
