Float (Plastic)

Removed carb and rebuilt it with new seals, replaced the float, and cleaned all the jets. Runs great!

Removed, cleaned, and disassembled carburetor. You will need to use compressed air and a blower nozzle to remove the old float needle seat. Just apply air pressure to the fuel inlet fitting. BE CAREFUL to hold the carb away from your body when you do this because the seat comes out with enough force to damage an eye if it were to strike your eye. Replaced old float, needle, and seat. Be sure to press new neoprene seat all the way to the bottom of the bore it seats into. A pin punch that fits inside the bore is a good tool for this. Just press with your fingers, not with a hammer! Assemble float, needle, and float hinge pin. Turn carb upside down, and adjust float so top of float (bottom when upside down) is parallel (but not even) with top of carb fuel bowl. Carefully bend float tang that presses on needle to achieve this position. DO NOT PRESS NEEDLE AGAINST SEAT! Use only the weight of the float to press needle against seat. Reassemble carb using new gaskets and o-rings from the kit. To replace the primer bulb, you will have to pry out the retainer ring holding it in place. The retainer has teeth facing outward to keep it in place, so it requires a little force to remove it. Be careful not to score the walls of the primer bore with your screwdriver. Press the new primer bulb into place using a socket that will fit in the primer bore. Be sure to press it all the way to the bottom of the bore. Reattach carb and linkages. NOTE: It is a good idea to take a picture of the carb linkage before you remove the carb, so you have a reference to assist you with correctly reassembling the linkages. Good luck!
