Chrysler — Power Adjustment

Adjustments · Liquid Propane Gas carburetor

From a Chrysler operator's manual covering: IND. 52, IND. 53, IND. 54, IND. 56. Check it applies to your exact model before use.

Before you start

  • Under no circumstances should power settings be made too lean as this will result in poor economy and possible engine damage.

Procedure

  1. Screw economizer adjustment all the way in.
  2. Set engine at 1400 rpm with throttle stop screw.
  3. After engine stabilizes, set power adjustment to read 12.5 on fuel analyzer.
  4. Tighten screw on meter tube after adjustment.
  5. If fuel analyzer not available, rotate meter tube dial lean until rpm falls off, mark; rich until rpm falls off, mark; go halfway and set 2 to 3 serrations to rich side.
