Service Manual

2. Gaskets and diaphragms eventually deterio-
rate and become stiff with age and use. It is
good practice to replace gaskets and dia-
phragms for each repair. However, if the
diaphragm is soft and flexible, you do not
need to replace it, unless a complete carbu-
retor rebuild is being performed.
3. Clean the metering cover, pump cover, carbu-
retor body, and filter screen with carburetor
cleaner. Blow out all passages with com-
pressed air.
NOTE: Do not use drill bits or wire to clean fuel
ports and passages.
Carburetor Reassembly

1. Install the fuel inlet needle, fuel metering lever
spring, metering lever, and metering lever
hinge pin. Secure the hinge pin in carbure-
tor body with the hinge pin screw.
2. Place a straight edge across the carburetor
body. Use a wire feeler gauge to measure
the the distance between the the straight
edge and the top of the fuel metering lever.
The fuel metering lever should be 0.060-0.070
in. (1.52-1.78 mm) below the straight edge.
