Carburetor – Inspect/Adjust

Remove the side panel (side opposite control

panel) by removing the 4 bolts. Drain the fuel

from the fuel tank and remove. Remove the fan

cover panel and detach the air filter and

housing. Use a suitable container to catch the

fuel from the hose (attached to the nipple on the

underside of the carburetor) when removing the

carburetor. Dispose of the fuel properly. Clean

the outside surface of the carburetor before

disassembly.

Disconnect and remove solenoid valve (4).

Remove bolts (2) and gasket (3). Carefully

remove the float chamber (1), and contain any

small parts that may fall out.

Remove float pin (1), carefully remove float (2)

and contain the small parts. Clean the internal

parts with carburetor cleaner and compressed

air.

Check the float valve seat (1) and float valve (2)

for wear. Figure A shows a worn float valve that

needs replaced. Figure B shows a float valve

that can be reused.

Inspect main fuel jet (1) and main fuel nozzle

(2). If worn, replace.

Inspect the idle speed jet (1). Replace if

damaged. Apply a light coat of oil to the O-ring

seals before reinstalling.

After reinstalling the float, lightly press in with a

finger to make sure the float moves freely. Make

sure that the float valve is just contacting the

valve seat, and the spring is not compressed.

Install solenoid valve (4) and gasket (3) into the

float chamber (1). Install bolts (2) to hold the

float chamber in place.

Reattach the hose to the nipple on the underside

of the carburetor. Reinstall the carburetor. After

starting the unit, check for leakage.
