20. On  the  left-hand carburetter,  place a 0,15 mm 
(0.006 in) feeler  between  the underside of the 
roller  on  the countershaft  lever and  the  throttle 
lever. 
21. Apply pressurc to the throttle  lever to hold the 
feeler. 
22.  Tighten  the screw 
to secure  the throttle  adjusting 
lever, then withdraw  the feelcr.

26. The fast  idle adjustment  is pre-set  on the  left-hand 
carburetter  and  should not normally  require 
adjustment.  If adjustment  is required,  the  correct 
procedure  is 
to remove the left-hand  carburetter 
and  carry  out instructions 
66 - 69 under carburetter 
overhaul.  Alternatively  the fast  idle  can be 
approximately set  by pulling  the choke  cable until 
the  mark 
on the cam  is in-line  with the head  of the 
adjusting  screw. Slacken  the locknut  and adjust  the 
screw  against  the cam 
until the correct  idle speed is 
achieved  see ‘Engine  tuning  data’. Tighten  the 
locknut. 
23. On the  right  hand carburettcr, place  a 0,15 mm 
(0.006 in) feeler  between  the left leg of the  fork  on 
the  adjusting  lever and the pin 
on the  throttle 
lever. 
24. Apply  light pressure to the linkage  to hold thc 
feeler. 
25. Tighten  the  screw to secure the  throttle  adjusting 
lever, then withdraw 
thc fcclcr.

27. Fit the air cleaner  elbows. 
28.  Remove  the piston  damper 
plug on both 
carburetters  and replenish 
the damper  reservoir 
with  S.A.E.20  oil to within  12 
mm (0.5 in)  from 
thc top of thc tube  and refit  damper  plug.

General  Requirements  Prior to Tuning  Carburetters. 
Accurate  engine speed is essential  during carburetter 
tuning, 
therefore the  distributor  pick up air  gap  and 
ignition  timing must be checked  together  with the 
vacuum  advance  system. 
Whenever  possible the ambient  air temperature 
of the 
tuning  environment  should be between 
15 to 26°C (60 
to 80°F). When  checking  engine speed, use an 
independent  and accurate  tachometer. 
Idling  adjustments  should be carried  out on a fully 
warmed  up engine,  that is, at least 
5 minutes  after the 
thermostat  has opened.  This should  be followed  by 
a 
run of one minute  duration  at an  engine  speed of 
approximately 2,500 revhin before  further 
adjustments 
or checks  are carried  out. This  cycle  may 
20 
be repeated  as often  as required. It is important  that 
the  above 
cycle is adhered  to, otherwise  overheating 
may  result  and settings  may be incorrect.  The piston 
dampers  must always  be kept  topped
-up with  the 
correct  grade of oil. 
Before  any attempt  is made 
to check  settings  a 
thorough  check should  be carried  out to ensure  that the 
throttle  linkage between  the pedal  and carburetters 
is 
free  and has no tendency  to stick.  Ensure  that the 
choke  control  lever 
is pushed fully down. 
NOTE: References  to left  and  right  hand are as from  the 
drivers  seat. 
TAMPER 
-PROOFING 
To comply  with E.C.E.  regulations  the idle  speed  and 
mixture  adjusting  screws must be tamper 
- proofed 
following  any adjustments. 
A red blanking  plug; Part 
number 
- JZX 1258 must  be fitted  into the mixture 
screw resess and  a red  cap; Part  number JZX 1197 
fitted  over the idle  adjustment  screw (throttle -

TUNE AND ADdUST 
The following  instructions  apply to both carburetters 
unless  otherwise  stated. 
Before  commencing  the following  instructions,  remove 
the  air cleaner,  air intake  elbows,  mixture  adjustment 
screw  plug and mixture  screw cap. 
CARDURETTERBALANCE 
Using balancer 605330 
1. Disconnect  the interconnecting link between  the 
two  carburetters. 
Fit the balancer to the 
carburetter  intakes and ensure  that there  are no air 
leaks, 
if necessary,  zero the gauge with the 
adjustment  screw. 
2. Start the engine,  and if necessary allow it to reach 
normal  operating  temperature.  If 
the nccdle moves 
to  the  right,  decrease 
the air flow  through  the left 
hand  carburetter  by unscrewing  the idle  screw. 
Alternatively,  increase the air flow  through  the 
right  hand  carburetter  by screwing  down the idle 
screw.  Reverse  the procedure 
if the pointer  moves 
to  the  left.  Reconnect  the carburetter  inter
- 
connecting link. 
Using balancer B89 
3. Disconnect  the inter-connecting  throttle link 
between the two carburetters. 
4. Back-off the idle adjusting  screw on each 
carburetttcr,  clear of the 
throttlc Icver. 
5. Turn  each throttle  adjusting  screw so that it 
touches the throttle  lever. then turn the screws  by 
equal  amounts  to achieve  an approximate  idle 
speed  of 
700 to 800 rev/min. 
6. Press  the balancer  firmly over the carburetter 
intake.  Press 
or withdraw  the control  on the  side  of 
the  balancer  to adjust  the meter  needle  reading 
to 
approximately  half scale,  and note the reading.

7. Without  altering the position  of the  balancer 
control,  place 
the balancer on the  second 
carburetter  intake  ahd  adjust  the idle screw  as 
necessary  to 
achicve the same  reading. 
. 
8. Alternatively,  adjust  and check  the balance of both 
carburetters  until  an idle speed 
of 700 to 
800 rev/min is obtained. 
9. Reconnect  the  throttle inter-connecting  link,  and 
again  check 
the idle spced and balance. 
Mixture  setting 
10. Ensure  that  the engine  is still  at normal operating 
temperature. 
11. Mark the relationship  of the  suction  chamber  to the 
carburetter  body,  remove  the  retaining screws and 
lift off the suction  chamber complete with pistons. 
12. 
To achieve  a datum  setting  for the  mixture  screw, 
turn 
it anti-clockwise until  the jct is level with the 
carburetter  bridge. Check by placing  a straight 
edge  across  the bridge  and adjust  as  necessary 
so 
that the jet just touches  the straight  edge. 
13. Refit the suction  chamber  and  piston,  evcnly 
tighten  the retaining screws.  Check that the piston 
moves  freely  without sticking. 
Top-up the piston

14. Turn  the mixture  adjustment  screw three and one 
half  turns  clockwise. 
15. Insert the probe  of an  infra-red  exhaust  gas 
analyser  as far  as possible 
up the  exhaust pipe,  start 
the engine  and allow a one  and one half minute 
stabilisation period. 
16. Adjust the mixture  screw on both carburetters  by 
equal  amounts,  rich or weak  to achieve 
a CO 
reading of 0.5 to 2.5%. 
17.  If after  approximately  two minutes the 
CO level  is 
not satisfactory  run the  engine  at 2000 rev/min for 
one  minute  to stabilise the 
cquipment, continue  the 
setting  procedure  until a 
stablc CO reading  of 0.5 
to 2.5% at an  idle  speed of 700-800 rev/min is 
obtained.
