One thing not shown here are the main jets. If you take out the main jet, the emulsion tube (called 'holder' in the left picture) is behind it, and then a little-known part, the jet needle (also called 'collar'). Be sure you get these little parts out (part #16017 on the diagram), as they could fall out on their own if you don't. | |||

The first thing you should do is look through those pilot jets that you removed. Make sure you can see that the very small hole isn't plugged up. Spray it out with carb cleaner, then pull a single strand of '''COPPER''' wire from a piece of 14-18 gauge that you probably have laying around someplace, feed it through the pilot jet hole, and roll the jet around the wire. | The first thing you should do is look through those pilot jets that you removed.
