The demand for a miniature all position diaphragm
carburetor prompted Tillotson to design and develop
the “HS” series. This small compact unit, only a 1-1/2
inch cube, is versatile in application because of its
lightweight and compact size. Even though the
carburetor is extremely minute, it still comprises a
self-contained fuel pump and filtering screen.
The “HS” series carburetor is die-cast aluminium,
consisting of three basic parts: metering body, pump
cover plate and main diaphragm cover plate. This
carburetor incorporates many of the components
found in float type carburetors: choke, throttle, idle
and high speed mixture screw and inlet needle.
Information contained in the following pages is
presented as an aid to understanding construction,
operation and servicing of the “HS” series carburetor.
Complete carburetors, repair kits and service parts
are available through our dealers.
Idle and high speed mixture screws are spring friction
type and require no packing. These mixture screws
are located on the right side looking toward air horn.
A rubber tipped needle seats directly on a machined
orifice in the body casting. An inlet tension spring
