Yep! What he said.

And since i have everything apart, you do recommend removing the idle jet with drywall screw or similar type screw.

 

[joedrum]

yes ...with smart hands and what ever it takes ..they have to be cleaned

 

[joedrum]

Remove and clean each jet using the drywall screw and diagonal cutters to pry them out. One at a time.

Yes, got it

Carb 3 is different. How do i remove the float bowl.There's mention of a air cutoff valve . Do i need to remove some linkage that's connected to this valve?I removed screws from float bowl and air cutoff

 

[made2care]

I got it
Geesh this is nerve racking

Remember, this is my first time to open up carbs. Cant believe all the passages, channels and parts.

 

[joedrum]

sure is a bunch to stock carbs ...talk about over engineering something ....

An alternative to the drywall screw and pliers method for removing idle jets is a small easy out. That is what I used (although I don't remember the size right now). I tapped it into the jet snuggly and continued to turn. Each jet popped loose with a bit of a snap. When it came time to reassemble, I put the easy out back in and used it to tap the jet back in place. At least it worked for me. I second Joe's use of snot sucker. I used mine to religiously check each passageway. Rebuilt carbs run and idle great!

Idle jet out. Drywall screw trick worked!!

 

[slabghost]

Leave the screw in it . It makes for a nice handle to hold it for cleaning and use it to tap it back in place then unscrew it and go to the next one. That was what I did. No worry that way of mixing up jets. Be sure the passage is clear before you reinstall the jet.

Looks like a lot of crud on it. Rest of the carb like that?

Yes. Not that I'm an expert but I think these are virgin carbs.

So many parts! After all this, I think I could make my own Swiss watch.

:hihihi: :swoon:

I have noticed that there are no screens connected to the float valve holders. Maybe this has been opened before and the po forgot to put it back in . Must I have these screens?

 

[made2care]

From what I'm reading, seems only the OEM floats came with the screens.
What are my options? Just install without screens and put another fuel filter somewhere?

 

[joedrum]

dosnt seem like you have any but put it together that never happen to me ...

If i understand, you are talking about the needle & seat float assembly. :headscratch: Looks as if you have to buy a K&L PRO carb repair kit to get that portion of the assembly. :Awe: Look at their catalog on line. On page 235, picture top left of the kit's, they look pretty complete. :yes: P M me if you want to go this route. :builder: Have had great luck so far with their stuff, :good: but not needed this many part's to fix mine yet. :nea: They sell new needle's, but no float assembly's, :rant: but the old seat's will almost always clean up with jewelers rouge & a Q'tip or two. opcorn:
