1974 Ford Carter Model RBS 1-V Carburetor Service Manual

This is Part 24-05 of a Ford service manual, covering the Carter Model RBS 1-V carburetor for 1974 Ford vehicles. The carburetor is a single venturi design with a light-weight aluminum main casting and a stamped steel fuel bowl, and the book states that it applies to 250 CID engines only. It was published by Ford Motor Company; no publication number is printed on the pages.

The seven pages describe the diaphragm-controlled step-up metering rod, the spring-actuated accelerator pump, the vacuum piston automatic choke, the California electric choke assist and the throttle solenoid positioner that limits dieseling. Adjustment procedures include fast idle cam setting, accelerator pump stroke, mechanical fuel bowl vent opening, choke plate pulldown, dechoke, dry float drop and float level. Removal, installation, step-by-step disassembly and assembly follow, with an exploded view of the carburetor. Mechanics, restorers and owners of 250 CID Fords can use it.
