Man oh man I have my work cut out for me. Probably 2hrs worth of cleaning. Notice how dirty it is where the needle fits. At least the jets aren't all scarred up from someone taking them out with the wrong size screwdriver.



To remove the seat from the carb you'll need a 5/16 wrench or preferably a ratchet and socket. I used a skinny punch to break the float pin loose and then the needle nose pliers barely were able to remove it. Be very careful not to break either one of those posts that hold the float pin. If you break anything you basically will be looking for another carb.

Those jewelers magnifying glasses are stylish and necessary. These parts are TINY!! Get yourself some of these glasses as they are only $5 from Harbor Freight.
