Kent 436 Posted April 29, 2002 Screw both idle and main jet in until they seat (don't force them), then back them out 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns. This should start. Then, tweak them accordinging to the instructions linked below. Haven't rebuilt one yet, but soon... so I can't help there.[A href='http://www.simpletractors.com/operation/300401/page_4.htm']http://www.simpletractors.com/operation/300401/page_4.htm[/a] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MPH 12 Posted April 29, 2002 Main thing I think of on rebuilding one of these carbs is to remove the nozzle tube before you take the carb apart. Be sure to use a good fitting screw driver for this, its easy to make one by grinding the flare off the end so it fits inside the hole of the needle valve..MPH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marion_Kerr 0 Posted April 30, 2002 I would also replace the condenser and points, located on side of block just beneath carburetor under the little cover that comes off with two screws. I would also install a new spark plug. If none of the above has been done for last 5 years, please do yourself a favor. This is a cheap investment. Then, put the carb back on and tweak it as advised by Kent. Usually, the LAST thing that needs attention is the carburetor if you have winterized system properly for storage, replaced air filter(as needed) and unit has not been left sitting outside in the weather for extented periods.
