• Piston valve
• Starter (enricher) jet
• Gasket and O-ring
• Throttle shaft oil seal
• Diaphragm
• Pilot outlet and by-pass ports
Needle Valve
Check the needle valve for damage or worn.
If foreign matter is caught between the valve seat and
the needle valve, the gasoline will continue flowing and
overflow. If the valve seat and needle valve are worn
beyond the permissible limits, similar trouble will occur.
Conversely, if the needle valve sticks, the gasoline will
not flow into the float chamber. Clean the float chamber
and float parts with gasoline. If the needle valve is worn,
as shown in the illustration, replace it along with a new
valve seat.
CORRECT
Throttle Valve
Check the throttle valve moves smoothly from full open
to full close. If it does not smoothly, clean the carburetor.
Cleaning
WARNING
!
Some carburetor cleaning chemicals,
especially dip-type soaking solutions, are
very corrosive and must be handled carefully.
Always follow the chemical manufacturer's
instructions on proper use, handling and
storage.
1) Clean all jets with a spray-type carburetor cleaner
and dry them using compressed air.
