Idle jet

[LoftCol]

Has anyone filled the float bowls with carb cleaner in order to soak the idle jet for a couple of hours and help clean it? I have read via AI that one method of cleaning the idle jet without removing the carbs is to try this method. Thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks

I don’t believe that method will be successful for this carburetor. I’m sure it’s a waste of effort. The carburetors are easy enough to remove and replace. Pull them and remove the bowls.

some CV carburetors have the pilot jets in the bowl. Not these.

Thanks Marty,

What you may want to do is spray some carb cleaner into the hole in the bottom of the bowl. Be SURE you have safety glasses on so you don't get it in your eyes. I have seen that "port" get plugged from ethanol gas and the junk it creates in the carbs. That keeps the gas from getting to the jet.
