Followed this video and cleaned the idle jet on my fg falcon idles much smoother. Thanks! Top of spark plug was a great tip. Cleaned the carbon out of my jet with throttle cleaner scraped inside with a sewing needle. Thanks
Bro I just did mine the way you said and oh my god it's like new hardly turn the key starts straight away. this is something I'll never forget. You made me very happy saved big $ and you made me a better mechanic as gas is private knowledge. I was scared to do it. I turned gas at tanks off and I did the job in the car i didn't take the convertor out and not any gas leaks or anything when I pulled it apart. Bunnings sell spark plugs for mowers and chainsaws I grabbed the cig weld cleaning kit $30 then I checked if Bunnings had spark plugs and they have the ones that unscrew $8 I put kit back on the shelf lol. I couldn't find any threads that size then I found that cupboard draw handle screws are the perfect thread too easy so now you know where to get them. I liked the video I subbed thanks again for showing us the trick of the trade that spark plug end is the bomb to get that idler out I noticed with a torch there is a little rubber seal when you put idler ack so people have to be careful and not rush this delicate job thanks again bro best video I ever seen that actually works fantastic God bless you sir.
If had my fg at every mechanic in my area.and they can not fix my car they just take more and more money.and my car was no better so i did wat you showed us all to do and id like to send you a great big thanks as my car is fine now so thanks again your a life saver great videoeasy to follow cheers mate 100%respect to you sir.👍
BS how they do that, how can they not know the kn crooks. They'll fix everything but the problem, even if it doesnt need it. My car started to chug at idle i knew straight away time to clean the jet. 10 min job, drives as normal.
LPG mechanic is the one to look for, hope you find one while the FG is pumping, looking for one now for another diaphragm. If you ever blow one it will flood the engine / manifold with gas put the accelerator flat to the floor and crank it .That's absolutely against normal LPG starting rules , (crank with no accelerator) saved me wrecking the battery and starts quickly. Promise to obey the LPG rules when it's fixed ...big consequences if it's not obeyed.
THANK YOU. This is amazing. Your advice to use an old spark plug is brilliant. Car refused to start. Followed your steps, car started first go, fantastic.
A rough diamond video....or pure gold, for Falcon owners going crazeee over starting problems. To clean the inside of the IDLE Jet, SuperCheap Auto have "oxy welding cleaning kits" for the tips of oxy welders, does the job perfectly. thank you
Thankyou this helped me and got my car running good again , I used a CIGweld tip cleaner kit it has little serrated rods that was a perfect fit for cleaning jet
0.8 mm was a measurement for that idle jet 6:256:25 contaminated hole. If you have or a mate has a set of oxy tip cleaners you can within a minute have that hole @ 100% clear . Oxy tips while doing cutting Job have to be perfect so most metal tradies have at least one set. Many thanks for the patient demo. Vialle-F5 type(special)
Update: jet removed and cleaned as explained above . 2 different internal diameters, easy. Reassembly while mounted in a BA falcon used a old threaded spark plug poked into the 8 mm solenoid bolt hole to center my pressure downwards on the pesky spring, using an open-ender 17 mm to coax the thread and bingo so easy, wracked my brain for a week after the first skyrocket demo attempt with parts sprung all over the country.😊 , your video gave me the confidence to have a go and save $650 bucks on a reconditioned one. Purring like a kitten on idle, changed the PCV, a puff of smoke on starting, that proved the replaced one to be a dud, clear and clean now. Thanks ever so much.
My gas fg falcon will randomly get a ETC fault, haven’t had it for awhile now but sometimes at night in the cold the idle will go up and down from 1k rpm, if I drive it when the this is happening. To much gas will make the whole car cut out. I think a dodge fuel pump or even the gas converter freezing up. Any help would be great

gotta love those "highly trained professionals"
mechanics are just glorified scam artists... change my mind

Thank you. It fixed the problem I had with my Falcon. Amazing.
Great video. Ute running well now, thanks.
Had to buy a whipper snipper spark plug from supercheap auto to get the threaded cap.
I bet they charge for a full rebuild of the converter for this

You Really saved me Big Time !!!, Thank You
Can I do this with the converter still in the car ?
You can yes. The solenoid faces upwards so access is very easy
$190 job all done falcon running sweet
Yep mines been hard to start at times. Then cut out on a hill. Ran again after backfire. Hope its these thanx.
Thanks for the vid found it helpful
your a legend ,thanks
Worked for about 3 starts then went back to barely starting again
Could someone tell me if the vialle converter the only type that will fit my dedicated egas bf falcon 2007?
thanks for the video, performing this job this week... do you spray into the hole with the throttle body cleaner at all?
I don't know if I'd risk spraying anything down there, wouldn't wanna damage the diaphragms in any way

I'm taking my egas falcon ute to a mechanic in a few days. Is this the operation that he will do i gather? Also very good video. Thanks
Can you do it with unit still on car?
Yes, easily, it all faces upwards
Great video but you should remind people to shut off gas at the tank before removing the idle jet other than that great video thank you boss.
Hi mate I clean my one when I clean I turn gas from main tank now it won’t start what can I do have u any idea
I have done this ute ran for a while then died . Would start but would die straight away. Any ideas??
