Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ANNEXE : C CHECKING THE FUEL CIRCUIT AND PRESSURE
- Remove the cold-start injector ( 1) and carefully
remove its petrol feed pipe.
- Connect pressure gauge ( 2) onto the cold-start
injector petrol line.
- Fit the cold-start injector zmto the manifold.
- Run the engine at idling speed the petrol pressure
must be regulated to 2 bars ( 29 psi ).
- Disconnect the vticuum pipe ( 3 i from the pressure
regulator the regulated pressure must be 2.5 bars
i 36 l/4 psi ).
If one of the readings is incorrect, check condition
of the flexible vacuum pipe for the pressure
regulator. as well as its aspect. If it is satisfactory
replace the pressure requlotor after making sure
that its VCICUU~ pipe is not blocked totally or
partially at the manifold end.
With the engine stopped, the pressure must
remain stable at 2 bars ( 23 psi ); if not, check
for a leak which could be found at the cold-start
injector, one of the main injectors. or at the level
of the pressure regulator valve diaphragm.

/,,,.I i,,jrr/io,, S~S,W1, ANNEXE : D - ADJUSTING THE IDLING SPEED AND THE EXHAUST EMISSION
CHECKING CONDITIONS
1.
Checking the idling speed must be carried out
on a clean engine on which the ignition and the
valve clearances are properly adjusted and
fitted with a clean air-filter.
2. Check that the throttle butterfly returns correctly
to its stop.
3. Do not load the alternator by switching an any
of the electrical components, except the iqnition
and the electric cooling fan (s) 4.
Run the engine to bring the oil temperature up
to 70 +o 80’ C ( wait for the electric cooling
fan is) to cut in ). IMPORTANT : Use exclusively (I high tension
tachometer ( do not damage the H.T. lead of
the ignition wiring harness ).
ADJUSTMENT
1. Check that the butterfly is not jammed in position
when it is resting against its stop.
2. Wait for the electric cooling fan (s) to cut in.
3. Use screw ( 1 ) to adjust the idling speed to 850
to 900 rpm.
4. Check the exhaust emission :
The resulting amount of CO - CO2 ( corrected CO
reading 1 must be beI& 4.5 %.
In case this reading cannot be obtained, check the
valve clearances, the ignition, the fuel pressure,
the air-tightness of the aircircuit, and the complete
fuel injection system.
5. On (I vehicle fitted with optional oirtonditioning
switch the compressor on, and adjust the idling
speed from 1000 to 1050
rpm, by adjusting the
screw on the auxiliary box located next to the
electro-vol”e.

PETROL PUMP
AC DELCO pump reference E/PE 4.777
Auto-regulating diaphragm lift and force pump
operated by eccentric on camshaft.
This pump is fitted with (I device which enables it
to function on re-cycled petrol. This re-cycling is
effected by means of a by-pass .( 1 ) fitted on the
carburettor cover.
Excess petrol supplied by the pump returns to the
tank across an orifice calibrated from 0.8 to 0.9mm
in the by-pass union (1).
PETROL PUMP OUTPUT
(I) Otitput nil, maximum pressure : 325 mbars (4 7 psi).
b) Output through open carburettor float needle
valve.

INSTALLATION OF PETROL PUMP
Fitted on the crankcase with :
one (( Phenoploste P12 )) spacer 5 + 0.1 mm thick.
two (< SOCOID a> paper gaskets fitted dry.
Tightening torque for petrol pump nuts :
21 mN ( 2.1 m.kg ).( 15 l/4 ft.lb )
CHECKING THE STROKE OF THE PUMP PUSH-ROD
a) With the pump removed and using (I depth gouge A,
take the measurement between the upper face of
the spacer ( with paper joints ) and the camshaft
eccentric in its high position and in its low
position.
This measurement should be :
- Upper position of eccentric 27.4 ? 0.35 mm
- Lower position of eccentric 32.4 rk 0.35 mm
b) Measure the length u a a) between the spring stop cup
and the tip of the pump control push-rod.
This length should be :
a = 4.5 mm minimum
