TM 1-1500-204-23-1b.Depreservation. Carburetors are depreserved tomake them operational after they have been preservedfor extended storage. Observe the followingprecautions.· Depreserve float-type carburetors which donot employ diaphragms by flushing floatchamber with the type of fuel used to operateapplicable engine, then drain oil and fuelmixture from float chamber. Flush until alltrace of preservative oil is removed.· Depreserve diaphragm-type carburetors bydraining oil from fuel chambers and passagesand flushing with fuel. Fill carburetor withtype of fuel to be used to operate applicableengine. Soak diaphragm for at least 8 hours.This restores fuel diaphragms to normaloperating condition.c.AdjustingIdleMixtureandIdlesSpeedIf anengine will not respond to idle mixture and speedadjustment, it is an Indication that some other phase ofengine operation is incorrect. Adjust idle mixture andidle speed using the following procedures.(1)Make idle mixture adjustments with oiland cylinder head temperatures at normal values.(2)Back idle speed stop off so that idle speedIs controlled during adjusting procedure by manuallycontrolling throttle.(3)Retard throttle to designated rpm.(4)Screw idle mixture in or out in smallincrements as required until proper idle mixture isestablished.(5)After each idle mixture adjustment,increase power to field barometric pressure forapproximately 1 minute to clean intermittent firing sparkplugs caused by excessively rich or lean mixture.(6)Set idle speed stop to desired rpm.d.RepairorReplacement. Repair or replacecarburetor using the following procedures:(1)When improper operation of float-typecarburetor is suspected, perform a test by manuallyleaning mixture with mixture control or by enrichingmixture by use of primer. Replace complete unit whenchanges in rpm, other than those within allowable limits,result.(2)When difficulty is encountered with PDand PR series Injection-type carburetors, attributed tosticking or binding of automatic mixture control unit,clean unit as follows:(a)Remove unit from carburetor, beingcareful not to remove seal or lockwire or loosen siphonlocking nut.WARNINGDry-cleaning solvent is flammableand solvent vapors are toxic. Use P-D-680, Type II Solvent In a well-ventilated area. Keep away fromopen flames Avoid prolongedsolvent contact with skin.(b)Wash bushing with dry-cleaningsolvent, Federal Specification P-D-680.(c)Dry thoroughly with compressed air.(d)Polish bushing sleeve with crocuscloth, Federal Specification P-C-458, until it is bright.(e)Blow out any polishing dust thattends to cling to inside walls.WARNINGDry-cleaning solvent is flammableand solvent vapors are toxic Use P-D-680, Type II Solvent in a well-ventilated area. Keep away fromopen flames. Avoid prolongedsolvent contact with skin.(f)Clean needle with dry-cleaningsolvent, Federal Specification P-D-680, and dry withcompressed air(g)When needle is corroded, cleanwith dry-cleaning solvent, Federal Specification P-D-680, dry with compressed air, polish with crocus cloth,Federal Specification P-C-458, and lubricate with greasemolybdenum disulfide MIL-G-21164.(h)Reassemble and install lockwire orseal, if broken.7-37
