jareth Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 A helpful trick I do for cleaning carbs. I use a can of brake cleaner, or WD40, with a straw attached to the spray nozzle, and put the straw tightly into each hole of the carb and watch the spray come out the other end of the hole. This way there is no chance of thinking it's cleared when there is still something stuck in the hole. Watch out you don't get it in your eyes!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other thing that can happen is putting the needle jet in upside down. Sounds ridiculous but I’ve done it.? The tapered hole goes up. Thank you. Just to clarify. I’ve attached a picture. The way the needle jet is in this picture would be wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yes it comes up from the underside of the card throat oriented opposite the picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
