Carter YF 1-Barrel: Overhaul: Reassembly

To reassemble, reverse disassembly procedure while noting the following:

  1. Position throttle plate on the throttle shaft with the notch in the plate aligned with the slotted idle port in the throttle body flange. Install throttle plate attaching screws snug, but not tight, move shaft back and forth and rotate it to be sure the throttle plate does not bind in flange bore. It is necessary that the throttle plate should close tight in the bore, therefore, the idle speed screw should be backed out sufficiently to insure it does not contact the throttle stop. Reposition the throttle plate if necessary, and tighten screws and stake (or peen) the screws in place.
  2. Be sure vacuum passage in the diaphragm housing is aligned with the vacuum passage in the main body.
