d. Measure the distance between the downward side of the primary choke plate to the air horn wall. This distance is known as breather angle, the
specification is 1.8 mm (# 50 drill .070 + .001) (Figure 10).
e. Rotating the index plate clockwise will increase breather angle distance. This may necessitate removing small amounts from the index plate
choke housing locking tab (Figure 11). This will allow the index plate to rotate in either the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction to gain the
necessary travel to allow the specified breather angle clearance.
5.
