~~One thing not shown here are the~~ main jets. ~~Take out~~ the ~~main jet. The~~ emulsion tube (called 'holder' in the left picture) is behind it, with the jet needle (also called 'collar') behind that. 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.

You also need to remove both main jets. The main has the emulsion tube (called 'holder' in the left picture) behind it, with the jet needle (also called 'collar') behind that. 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.

*You can reach the main jet more easily than the pilot, but they have the same sized screwdriver slot. This makes it a good candidate for figuring out what tool to use on the pilot.

*You need to hold the emulsion tube still with a wrench in order to get the jet out of it.

*Remove the emulsion tube and look through the holes in the sides ~~of the emulsion tube~~ against sunlight to make sure they are clean. Clean the same as the pilot jets below.

*Remove the emulsion tube and look through the holes in the sides against sunlight to make sure they are clean. Clean the same as the pilot jets (see below).

*When reinstalling the emulsion tube, not all the threads will be hidden in the carb body. That is normal; do not over-tighten.
