Increase the load. Adjust the exhaust bypass valve in order to adjust the boost pressure. Monitor the position of the throttle plate, the desired engine rpm at full load, and the exhaust emissions. Continue to adjust the carburetor's load adjusting valve and the exhaust bypass valve. Make adjustments until the engine is operating at full load with a throttle angle of approximately 70 degrees.When the desired operation is achieved, tighten locknut (2) according to the engine's Specifications. Install cap (1).If you suspect that there is a problem with the exhaust bypass valve, perform an inspection. Make sure that the tube from the turbocharger compressor's outlet is not obstructed.
