Ford VV carburettor - removal and refitting
Removal
1 Remove the air cleaner.
2 Disconnect the choke cable from the operating lever on the choke housing.
3 Pull off the electrical lead from the anti-runon valve on the carburettor.
4 Disconnect the distributor vacuum pipe.
5 Disconnect the throttle cable by pulling the spring clip to release the end fitting from the ball-stud and then unscrewing the cable bracket fixing bolt.
6 Disconnect and plug the fuel inlet hose from the carburettor. If crimped type hose clips are used, cut them off and fit screw type clips at reassembly.
7 Unscrew the two carburettor mounting flange nuts and lift the carburettor from the inlet manifold. Remove the idle speed screw if necessary for access to the nut.
Refitting
8 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but make sure that a new flange gasket is used on perfectly clean mating surfaces.
9 Reconnect and adjust the choke cable.
