FIGURE 17—Unloader Adjustment

(WGD-2231-S)

1. Bend Cam

FIGURE 18—Unloader Adjustment
(WA1 Type)

SYNCHRONIZATION ADJUSTMENT

"Hornet" 6 and "Wasp" Series

Remove the clevis pins from the throttle shaft 
to carburetor rod devises.
 Connect a vacuum gauge and tachometer.
 Hold the fast idle cam in the normal idle 
position and adjust the idle speed screws 
until the throttle valves are just seated in 
closed position.
 "Crack" the rear carburetor throttle valve 
and adjust the idle mixture screws (1-1/4 to 
2-1/4 turns out "Hornet" 6 and 1/2 to 1-1/2 
turns out "Wasp" Series).
 Start the engine and allow to warm up to 
normal operating temperature.
 Hold the front carburetor throttle valve 
closed and adjust the rear carburetor idle 
speed 25 to 40 R.P.M. less than specified. 
Adjust the rear carburetor mixture for best
