Carburetor - ROCHESTER E4MC/E4ME: Overhaul: Reassembly

NOTE: Use new gaskets and seals. Make sure that new gaskets fit correctly and that all holes and slots are punched through and correctly located.
  1. Reassemble carburetor in reverse order of disassembly. The intermediate choke shaft lever and fast idle cam are assembled correctly when tang on lever is beneath fast idle cam.
  2. When installing float and retaining pin, make sure open end of float retaining pin faces accelerator pump well.

  4. When installing mixture control solenoid, make sure pin on end of solenoid aligns with hole in raised boss at bottom of float bowl.
  5. Install, adjust and plug all screws to restore tamper-resistant design.
    NOTE: If choke coil cover was removed, it will be necessary to install service rivet retaining kit. Before installing cover, place fast idle screw on high step of fast idle cam. Align notch in cover with raised boss on housing cover flange and install rivets.
  6. Place fast idle screw on high step of fast idle cam. Install choke coil cover if removed, aligning notch in cover with tab on cover retainer (supplied in service kit). Be sure coil tang engages pick-up lever. Install blind rivets.
    NOTE: On E4ME models, ground contact for electric choke is provided by metal plate located at rear of choke cover assembly. DO NOT  install choke cover gasket between electric choke and housing.
  7. Install air horn screws and tighten evenly, securely and in sequence shown. See Fig 2 .
