IDLE TRIM ADJUSTMENT
Idle trim is adjusted with an alien wrench (3/32). Remove the air cleaner cover and locate the adjusting holes in the top of the carburetor. Turn the air adjusting screw clockwise to enriching and counterclockwise to lean out.

CHOKE LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
There is no choke plate on the variable venturi carburetor. Therefore, no adjustments are possible or necessary.

OVERHAUL
NOTE: Some special tools are required. They can be purchased from your Ford dealer. Also, rebuilding kits include specific procedures. Read them carefully before attempting carburetor overhaul.

It will be easier and you will avoid damaging the carburetor if you make a carburetor stand out of four 5/16 in. bolts. The following is a step by step procedure. However, many components can be serviced or replaced without completely disassembling the carburetor. Read the steps over carefully before you begin and you will probably save some time.

DISASSEMBLY
Upper Body

  1. Remove the fuel inlet fitting, fuel filter, gasket and spring. (1, 2, 3, 4)
  2. Remove the E-rings on the accelerator pump rod and the choke control rod and disengage the rods. (5, 6, 7)
  3. Remove the air cleaner stud.
  4. Remove the seven screws retaining the upper body assembly, remove the upper body and place it inverted on a clean work surface. (8, 8A) Note position of 2 long screws for reassembly.
  5. Remove the float hinge pin and the float assembly. (10, 11)
  6. Remove the float bowl gasket. (12)
  7. Remove the fuel inlet valve, seat and gasket. (13, 14, 15)
  8. Remove the accelerator pump rod and the dust seal. (6, 16)
  9. Remove the accelerator pump link retaining pin and the link. (17, 18)
  10. Remove the accelerator pump swivel and adjusting nut. (19, 20)
  11. Remove the choke control rod. Remove the dust seal by lifting the retainer carefully and sliding the seal out. (7, 16)
  12. Remove the E-ring on the choke hinge pin and slide the pin out of the casting. (5, 12)
  13. Remove the cold enrichment rod adjusting nut, lever, adjusting swivel, control vacuum regulator, and adjusting nut as an assembly (Fig. 27); disassemble as required. (20, 22, 23, 24, 25)
  14. Slide the cold enrichment rod out of the upper body casting. (26)
  15. Remove the venturi valve cover plate screws, the plate and the roller bearings. (27, 28, 29)
  16. Remove the venturi air bypass screw. (30)
  17. Using special Tool T77P-9928-A, press the tapered plugs out of the venturi valve pivot pins. (31)

  19. Remove the venturi valve pivot pin bushings. (34)
  20. Remove the metering rod pivot pins (on the outboard sides of the venturi valve), the metering rods and the springs. (35, 36, 37)
    NOTE: Identify the rods, "throttle" or "choke" side, for proper assembly.
    CAUTION: Always block the venturi valve wide open when working on the jets.
  21. Using the jet plug removal Tool (T77L-9533-B) remove the cup plugs recessed in the upper body casting. (38)
    NOTE: The main metering jet setting is an important factor in the overall carburetor calibration. For this reason the following steps must be carefully followed:
  22. Using the special jet wrench (T77L-9533-A) turn each main metering jet clockwise counting the number of turns, until they bottom in the casting. Record the number of turns to the nearest V4 turn.
  23. Turn the jet assembly counterclockwise to remove. Remove O-rings and identify the jets, "throttle" or "choke" side, for proper assembly. (39, 40)
  24. Remove the accelerator pump plunger assembly and disassemble as required. (41, 42, 43, 44, 45)
  25. Remove the idle trim screws. (46)
  26. Remove the venturi valve limiter adjusting screw from the throttle side of the venturi valve. (47)

  6. Remove the cranking fuel control assembly from the bottom of the fuel bowl. (12)
    CAUTION: This part should not be removed unless there is evidence of physical damage. If control is damaged, bend the bi-metal enough to expose the discharge port and use the jet plug removal Tool (T77L-9533-B) to extract the control assembly.
  7. Place the carburetor inverted on a clean surface (hold your hand in position to catch the accelerator pump check ball and weight while turning the carburetor over). (13, 14)
  8. Remove the five screws retaining the throttle body and remove the throttle body and gasket. (15)
  9. Remove the choke heat shield screw and the shield. (16, 17)
