| Please Note: | Warning - These parts are extremely durable inside the carburettor but fragile to |

|---|
| it. The metering lever must be replaced with the new one supplied, please reuse the |
|---|
| old metering lever pin. |

| part number OMK500-528 which is included in this spiral diaphragm kit. The |
|---|
| adjustment point on the brass gauge is on the bottom, the indentation you need to |
|---|

|---|
