Adjustment
8 Have an assistant pull the choke control knob
fully out and check that the choke cam
opens fully. Push the choke knob fully in and
check that the choke cam returns to the fully-off
position so that there is clearance between the
cam and the fast idle adjusting screw. Providing
that the choke cam returns fully, there should
be no free play present in the cable.
9 The cable is adjusted by releasing the
carburettor clip and repositioning the cable
outer.
13 Carburettor -

free the cable outer from its mounting bracket
on the carburettor. Release the cable inner
from the accelerator cam.
3 Free the choke cable outer from its retaining
clip on the carburettor and disconnect the
cable inner from the choke cam.

of the two small bore vacuum pipes, to ensure
they are correctly positioned on refitting, then
disconnect them from the carburettor (see
illustration).
5 Using pliers, release the retaining clip and
disconnect the fuel feed hose from the
carburettor. Place wads of rag around the union
to catch any spilled fuel and plug the hose as
soon as it is disconnected to minimise fuel loss.
6 Make a note of the correct fitted positions
of the breather hoses then, where necessary,
release the retaining clips and disconnect the
three breather hoses from the carburettor.
7 Disconnect the wiring connector from the
carburettor idle bypass solenoid (see
illustration).
8 Unscrew the four Torx screws securing the
carburettor manifold adaptor to the inlet
manifold and remove the carburettor
assembly from the vehicle (see illustrations).
Remove the gasket and discard it, as a new
one must be used on refitting. Plug the inlet
