## 🔌 Function

Packs the spring seat to the required height so the spring load is set to specification.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Setting drifting so the engine runs rich, lean or hunts
-   Shim found dished, fretted or bedded in
-   Fuel delivery out of specification on test
-   Rough running or smoke after fuel system work
-   Measured clearance no longer matching the figure it was set to

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Shim 6885730 at 1.68 mm is the thinner option, and only 0.16 mm separates the two, so measure with a micrometer
-   Compression spring 6885720 is the spring these shims set, so consider it at the same time
-   Record what came out before dismantling and check the setting against specification
