⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Setting drifting so the engine runs rich, lean or hunts

• Rough running or smoke after fuel system work
• Measured clearance no longer matching the figure it was set to

🛠️ Service Notes

• Shim 6885739 at 1.84 mm is the thicker option, and only 0.16 mm separates the two, so measure with a micrometer
