Last carb Q's

[guitardude081]

Here's a lesson in JD carbs 101. When buying an aftermarket throttle cable, it comes with 2 jamb nuts. Don't do what I did, and spend 3 nights in a freezing garage before you realize that you need to remove one of them for the slides to seat. My last q's are...

1. What notch does the e-clip need to be on?
2. When sychrnizing, does it make sense to just turn the adjuster until the throttle cable seats, or should I do that, and then put it wide open, and go by the book?
3. does the oil injection pump still pump oil in the closed position?
4. How should I have the oil injection pump set?

Some of the pages are missing. To set up the carb from scratch:
-remove the airbox
-back out the idle screws
-loosen the throttle cables
-turn in the idle screws until a slight resistance is felt while touching the carb slide,then turn in 4 turns
-set both idle screws the same way
-open the throttle lever on the handle bar fully (wide open ) and wrap a rubber band or tape the lever open.
-adjust each cable so the bottom edge of the rear of the carb slide(closest to engine) is flush with the inner top edge of the carb. A mirror is a good aid in checking this.
-set both cables in the same mannner
-remove the tape or rubber band and allow the throttle lever to return in the normal position
-check to make sure the carb slides return and seat on the idle screws.
-start engine, warm-up and adjust idle. Both idle screws must be turned equal amounts.
