Always use a proper width
fl
at-blade screwdriver
when removing or installing the main jet. Not doing
so can damage the main jet and render it impossible
to remove.
NOTE:
For a complete breakdown of the carburetor
see the Honda GX shop manual, section 6.
TECH TIP:
The carburetor choke post is built into
the carb body and acts as a stop index for the choke
blade. Over an extended period of use, this post can
become worn to the point that choke will “
fl
op” and
not stay indexed. If the carb is worn to this point, it’s
time for a replacement.
TECH TIP:
“If the idle speed... checks out
fi
ne, check
the slack in the linkage.” Always keep any slack in this
linkage to a minimum. Replace it with a new rod and
spring to keep the linkage tight.
Extended use can cause the governor rod and spring
to wear, resulting in slight excess movement of the
rod. This will cause the idle speed to “hunt.”
TECH TIP:
Air corrector jets can cause rich engine
running symptoms if restricted.
Install nozzle with this end
toward carburetor venturi.
