  • Does your engine hunt or surge at part throttle or run rough? It may be caused by this little jet being plugged in the top of the carburetor body! This is for Honda type carbs or the chinese knockoffs or LCT type carbs which may be similar.

      i NEED HELP!! i have one of those similar carbs but its on a snow blower i have removed and cleaned the entire carb twice including both main and idle jet are completely clear. i cleaned and gapped the spark plug, changed out all the seals and confirmed that the plastic spacer is not cracked. But im getting hard start when cold and unless put on choke the motor stalls instantly just by engaging the auger (with out snow). no surging or hunting, runs smooth engine previously sat for 2 years

I didn't even need to remove the carburettor to apply the fix! My mower is now running better than it has in the past two years. Thank you!

    Thank you MMO, I am a retired mechanic, London U/K. I stripped my carb down (Same unit as yours exactly) and cleaned and rebuilt, it did not cure the hunting/surging, Than I saw your video and I had totally missed this jet on the outside because its hidden under the air bleed throttle screw, Thanks Im greatful .

    Thanks. My washer worked fine for 5 years. Then stopped working on a job. Drained the gas tank, cleaned the carb, but forgot the pilot jet. It cranked and surged at idle. Did your trick and runs like a champ. Beats messing with idle screws.

    Kinda funny I was watching to see if pilot jet takes 2 or 3 o rings, you said it probably has 2 or 3 o rings. The rebuild kit came with 3 o rings, but there was only one deteriorated o ring when I disassembled it, so I only replaced one o ring and didn’t run bad but not perfect, so now I’ll install 2nd o ring and see how that works. Thanks
    If anyone knows more on this please reply

      Have seen new carbs with the pilot jet plugged out of the box so it is definitely not out of the question I would definitely check it and then you could always do a static governor adjustment after if it doesn't fix it
