I offered this entire book for sale some time ago, but there was no interest.
As there seems to be more and more interest in the YF, I am posting this chapter from the book. I have written authority to do this, this is not a "bootleg" post.
This is only one of 11 chapters in the book. The book is the textbook from the Carter Carburetor School.

Anyone been successful in opening or downloading Jon's .PDF file? I get about 80% done and then get this message.

It's 17 pages. It came up in my phone. Does your download have a time out? Maybe try at a different time if day. That has worked for me in the past.

You folks that use a cell phone for internet purposes amaze me!
I am an old geezer, telephones are for talking
I use a 17 inch laptop (sitting on a table) for the internet, so I can read it.
I just edited the first post to reflect that the file is 7.2 MB

I look forward to using it when I get into my YF 2100S hopefully this winter.

I tried Firefox as suggested and it worked fine. Thanks for sharing Jon. I'll keep the document for the next time I need to get into my YF 964S.

Thank you!, Jon @carbking! Your contributions are amazing and MUCH appreciated! I need to be in touch - will need a rebuld kit for my 3211S and info on the heat tube. The original Rochester heat tube and 'stove' plate are on the engine currently

Thanks Jon Years ago you recommended a YF for my rebuilt 261....... been in love with it ever since.
The information you share with us during regular postings and by extending the life of that "old printed information" by sharing a download is priceless........ thanks again.
