Torque setting for Ma 3A carb?

Well Known Member
I've searched the Lycoming Torque Limits, SSP-1776, as well as the MA 3A carb manual and cannot locate a torque for the four screws that mount the carb to the sump.

Appreciate any input or reference!

Thx
Gary
 
Torque setting, 5/16" nut

Look in the Lycoming Service Table of Limits SSP-1776 (attached here), section 10 of the Overhaul Manual. There is no specific torque called out, so use the standard torque listed on the second page of the attached file (Standard Torque Limits) for a 5/16" diameter bolt/nut. Also, be sure to install a new star washer under the nut.
