The float bowl plug is out. |
|
And the power circuit sand plug is out without too much trouble. |

 |
As you can see in this rebuild, the hand made cardboard gasket stayed with
the lower body. For you information, this won't usually be the case. A
manufactured gasket, similar to the one that comes in your rebuild kit, will be
retained under the float in the upper body because of the way it is cut.
Remove and discard the gasket after checking that the one in the rebuild kit
will fit your carburetor. |
|
Once any gasket is out of the way, remover the venturi. It is NOT
symmetrical, so remember which way it fit into the lower body. If it is in
really good shape, there is only one way that it will fit into the casting, but
if it is the least bit beat up, you may have trouble figuring it out. Place a
little dot on one end of the venturi with an indelible marker to keep track of
which end installs in the lower body. |
 |
 |
With the venturi out, remove the Main Nozzle. Use a nutdriver or deep socket
to get the nozzle out. Make sure that you don't cock the nutdriver or socket to
one side or you will bend the nozzle spout which will keep it from breathing
properly when reassembled. |
