Right side: Cylinders 3 and 4
Connect the measuring device with the rubber pipes.
Each pipe must match the cylinder to which it is con-
nected.

All bypass adjusting screws (

turning them 1.5 turns off the ‘all closed’ position.
For this adjustment, it is compulsory to begin with cylin-
der 2 to make sure the EBS valve will work properly.
Cylinder 2 provides the following positions:
min. 0.5 revs – max 3.5 revs
Select the position that offers the best alignment with
the other cylinders.
After finding the right position for cylinder 2, adjust it by
turning the bypass screws of cylinders 1, 3 and 4 until
the vacuums inside the four induction manifolds are
aligned. The mercury columns must have the same
height (see Figure on the side).
Cylinders 1, 3 and 4 too provide the following positions.
min. 0.5 revs – max 3.5 revs
When idling, the revs of the engine must range
between
1100 revs/min and 1200 revs/min .
