Linkert M74B

[T. Cotten]

This is fully closed and fully opened

when the disc is closed is it normal to have the gap with the idle screw all the way backed ouf?

When the disc is fully opened the lever is on the carb body stop

With the idle screw backed out, Jack,

The disc should close completely against the bore wall at the idle bleeds. With the bleed plug removed, the disc should be visible in the middle of the idle slot:

(Model shown is other than M74B, but the position is the same.)

The idle screw, when turned in to slightly open the disc for initial starting, becomes the 'closing' stop.

I must note that to inspect for daylight around the disc, the choke must open; I inspected with even the venturi removed for certainty.

Big Thanks for all the input for the linkert rebuild! Much appreciated everyone!

No gas leaks (was worried as was my first carb rebuild …..)
