procharger Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 What does the jet in the float bowl do and how do you remove it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 The main jet and needle control fuel flow as the throttle is increased out of the idle jet circuit. It has a specific size and so does the needle. It just unscrews with a small wrench. Why take it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jet in the corner of the float bowl is for the starting carbonator. It meters the fuel for starting. I wouldn't try removing it unless it is plugged. I believe it is threaded, and has a slot for a screwdriver. It may have some kind of sealer applied to make removal difficult. I generally spray some cleaner through small hole in the float bowl, and up through the jet when I have the bowl removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 It is indeed threaded with a slotted head, and super easy to unscrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Lee Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Sorry I read too fast and missed float bowl. I’ve never had a need to ever remove one. I do clean them during carb overhaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
