Primary metering rod arm

[Ozzmann]

I've had to bend my arms down around 30-35 degree's to engage rods into the jets correctly and have control of the APT.
Is this common?

oz carb no and metering rod no. would make answering your question a lot easier .it seems like you have the wrong length rods in your carb.i cant remember the rod length but i think its like .200 difference. fwiw.

Carb is a 17051262 and Cliff supplied the rebuild kit including rods and jets. Rods are 44 but I can't remember if they had a letter on them.

oz sorry not familar with that carb no.maybe somebody else can help you.

If it's a 1705X262 carburetor it uses an APT system in front of the power piston to correctly locate the metering rods in the jets.  Do NOT bend the hanger arms, use the APT system instead.....Cliff

Sorry guys, it's a 17057262, not 1262. Cliff I had to bend the T arm in order to set rods deep enough into jets.
With arm's level and power  piston pushed down as far as it will go, the power tips were just inside the jets at idle.

 Stock internals were .071 Primary Jets, 43L Primary Metering Rods, K Secondary Hanger, and DB Secondary Metering Rods.

Check to make sure the power piston hanger is fully seated in the body.  You should not have to bend the hanger arms down for that application....Cliff
