Fast Idle Speed

With engine at normal operating temperature and air cleaners removed, operate choke control until mark "A" on front right carburetor is opposite center of fast idle screw. Start engine and adjust fast idle screw to obtain a speed of 1600-1700 RPM. Push choke control closed and measure gap "B" and check that gap is equal on left rear carburetor.
