Installing the Choke Shim Cap

10. Remove the high altitude compensator from the clip on the firewall and move it away from the carburetor.





11. Remove the upper coolant hose from the carburetor choke wax element housing, and move it away from the carburetor carefully to prevent damaging the hose or spilling coolant.


CAUTION:
Be careful not to burn yourself with hot coolant from the hose.





12. Using the Special Service Tool, spread the choke fast idle pinion lever away from the choke wax element housing. This will create a space between the wax element plunger and the choke adjust contact screw.





13. With the SST still in place, install the green choke shim cap onto the tip of the choke adjust contact screw using the handle.

NOTE:
Before installing the choke shim cap, twist it slightly (as shown in the illustration) to make the installation easier.





14. While holding the shim cap in place, remove the SST and allow the linkage to close on the shim.





15. Make sure the choke shim cap has not moved out of position. Then break off the installation handle from the shim cap.





16. Re-install the coolant hose on the carburetor and the high altitude compensator on the fire- wall clip.
