couple of strokes to be sure the pump is primed.

Using
a half-pint

Vi
pint [0,24 It] of fuel by cranking the
engine

with
the starter motor. Count the strokes neces­
sary
to
fill
the measure. If more than 20 strokes

are
required, the fuel pump is inefficient, the tank
line is leaking air, or the fuel supply is restricted.

Check

Check Manifold Vacuum

To
check the intake manifold vacuum on the
Hurri­

cane F4 engine, remove the ventilation valve and

fitting from the manifold and install special adapter. On the Dauntless V-6

given in Par. C-30. Observe the vacuum
read­

ing and interpret as follows:

a.
A steady reading from 18" to 20" [457 a 508
mm.] of mercury is a normal reading, indicating
that valve and
spark
timing, valve seating, and
piston ring sealing are all satisfactory.
b. A steady but below normal reading indicates

a
condition common to all cylinders such as a

leak
at the carburetor gasket, late ignition or valve
timing, or uniform piston ring and bore wear.

c.
A slowly fluctuating or drifting reading in­ dicates that the carburetor idle mixture is incorrect

Look
for the cause in the fuel system.

d.
A rhythmic pulsating reading is caused by a
condition affecting one or more cylinders, but not

all,
and indicates leaky valve, gasket blowby, re­
stricted intake port, or an electrical miss.
e. An intermittent pulsating reading is caused by

an
occasional malfunction, such as a sticking valve
(all
valves may be
erratic
in operation if the valve
springs are weak), electrical miss caused by insuffi­
cient distributor point tension or low coil
voltage

coupled with inconsistent
spark
plug
gaps
or fouled
plugs, or
dirt
in the fuel system finding its way into
passages of
critical
size or valve
seats
in the
car­

buretor.

f.
A normal reading that quickly falls off (with

engine
running at
2000
rpm.) indicates exhaust
back
pressure caused by a restriction in the exhaust
system.

g.
Make indicated corrections to bring vacuum to 18" to 20" [457 a 508 mm.] of mercury normal

reading.

C-25.
Carburetor Adjustments

•
Refer to Fig. C-24, C-25 and C-26.

Carburetor
adjustments should not be attempted

until
it is known that
engine
ignition and com­
pression are in
good
order. Any attempt to adjust

or
alter the carburetor to compensate for faulty conditions elsewhere
will
result in reduced econ­
omy and overall performance.

Caution:
If an
engine
is idling too slow or rough,
this may be caused by a
clogged
ventilator valve

or
hose;
therefore, never adjust the carburetor idle
without first checking the crankcase ventilator
check valve and
hose.

The
air cleaner must be left in place while making
idle speed and mixture adjustments. All lights and accessories, must be turned off. The positive
crank­

case ventilator system should also be in
good
oper­
ating condition when making carburetor adjust­ ments.
Either
of
these
items noticeably affects the

air
fuel ratio at idle.

Belt matic adjuster, to prevent lash in the valve operat­
ing linkage. Hydraulic valve lifters also provide

a
cushion of oil to absorb operating shocks. As shown in Fig. Dl-3, all parts of a hydraulic lifter

are
housed in the body, which is the cam follower.

At
the beginning of valve operation, the valve lifter body rests on the camshaft base circle.

Plunger
spring tension prevents lash clearances in the valve linkage.

As
the camshaft forces the valve lifter body up­

ward,
both oil in the lower chamber and check

ball
spring
tension firmly seat the check ball against the plunger to prevent appreciable
loss
of oil from
the lower chamber. Oil pressure forces the plunger
upward,
with the body, to operate the valve linkage.

As
the camshaft rotates to closed-valve position, the valve spring forces the linkage and lifter down­

ward.
When the
engine
valve seats, the linkage

parts
and plunger stop, but the plunger spring forces
the body downward .002" to .003"
[0,050
a
0,076
mm.] until it again rests on the camshaft base

circle.
Oil pressure then forces the check ball away

from
its seat and allows passage of oil past the check ball into the lower chamber.
This
replaces
the slight amount of oil lost by leakage. During
the valve opening and closing operation, a very
slight amount of oil escapes
between
plunger and body, and returns to the crankcase.
This
slight
loss
of oil (leak-down) is beneficial. It provides a
gradual
change of oil in the valve lifter; fresh oil
enters the lower chamber at the end of each cycle
of operation. 77

Fuel-air
mixture then

ward
through the channel to the venturi, where it is discharged into the air stream, and then to the

Power System

A
vacuum-operated power piston in the air horn
and
a power valve in the
bottom
of the float bowl

enrich
fuel-air mixture when more power is desired.

This
system also operates during extreme high
speed driving. Through a vacuum passage from the
carburetor
base to the power cylinder, the power
piston is
exposed
to manifold vacuum. See Fig.

E-20.

During
idle and part throttle operation, relatively
high vacuum holds the power piston in upward
FIG.
E-20—POWER
SYSTEM
position against spring tension so that the power
valve remains closed.

Increase
in
engine
load decreases manifold vacuum.

When
vacuum decreases sufficiently, the spring
overcomes vacuum and the power piston
moves
downward.
This
opens
the power valve to allow
additional fuel to flow through calibrated restric­
tions into the main well.

As
the
engine
load decreases, resulting higher

vacuum
overcomes spring tension on the power
piston and draws the power piston upward.
This

closes
the power valve.

This
carburetor has a
two-stage
power valve. In
the first
stage,
fuel is metered by the valve itself.
This
stage
occurs under light load. During heavy

load,
the valve is fully opened to the second
stage;

in
this position, the power valve supplies fuel to
be metered by power restrictions in the fuel chan­

nel
to the fuel bowl.

The
power piston cavity is connected to the main

air
flow passage by a vacuum relief passage.
This
passage prevents transfer of vacuum to fuel in the
float bowl. Any leakage of air past the piston
will

be compensated for by this relief passage; hence it

will
not affect carburetor metering.

E-30.
Accelerator Pump System

When
the throttle valve
opens
rapidly, air flow

and
manifold vacuum change almost instantaneous­

ly.
However, heavier fuel-air mixture
does
not flow immediately.
Thus,
momentarily, the
engine
does

not have sufficient fuel. The accelerator pump pro­ vides additional fuel necessary for
engine
operation

during
acceleration.

A
double-spring loaded pump plunger supplies fuel for acceleration. Top and
bottom
springs
move
the
plunger to furnish a smooth, sustained charge of
fuel for acceleration. See Fig. E-21.

Fuel
is drawn into the pump well past the inlet
check ball during the plunger intake (upward)
stroke.
Downward
motion of the pump plunger
seats
the
inlet check ball and forces fuel through the dis­ charge
passage.
This
unseats
the pump discharge
check
ball.
Fuel
then sprays through the discharge
