STEP ONE - FLOAT BOWL REMOVAL
- Shut off Fuel Valve
- Remove four float bowl screws.
- Pull float bowl downwards to remove.
STEP TWO - REMOVE FACTORY PEDESTAL
- Place stock pedestal in the chuck of an available drill. Do not plug in the drill.
- Using drill chuck as a vice, tighten chuck jaws on the large diameter of the pedestal. Do not plug in the drill.
- Holding drill chuck stationary with your hand, pull and twist float bowl clockwise and counterclockwise until pedestal comes free from body.
- Pre-Twin Cam carburetors use a check needle system. If applicable, place check needle in pedestal hole before mounting new pedestal nozzle.

STEP THREE - INSTALLING NEW PEDESTAL NOZZLE
- Place new pedestal nozzle in the mounting hole. Position so indexing line or spray hole is pointing in toward center of carburetor throat.
- Support float bowl directly under float bowl pedestal with a piece of scrap wood.
- Lightly tap pedestal using a small soft mallet or piece of wood until the pedestal is pressed into the bowl.
The pedestal should be pressed into the bowl leaving a small gap just underneath (see photo). The gap shoul dbe slightly smaller than the thickness of the bowl seal.

STEP FOUR - INSTALL FLOAT BOWL
- Replace float bowl back on carburetor body. Models with vacuum operated fuel valves require fuel to be added to float bowl before installation. This greatly reduces cranking time on initial start up.
- Make sure accelerator pump rod (with boot) slips back into the accelerator pump well.
- Install the 4 supplied stainless steel screws and washers.
