Take your time, I always use the half rule - rebuild the top half and then the bottom half, I
have done many over the years - this keeps you
focused on the location of each part - draw you
out a little note page, write down where that
piece came from (even trace a sketch of it)on
your paper to size. Soak in the cleaner a day or
two, that stuff is stong don't get it on you,
use a pair of vice grips or long pliers to
remove basket, wash the parts well with water
before handling then dry and spray some WD40 or
similar oil to remove any remaining moisture. Be
alert to how the float was removed and the spring
that holds it to the needle - I have always used
a local NAPA or Carquest - prices range from
$18 to $23...I do not put the throttle shaft in
the cleaner or this is the part that holds your
butterfly valve in the throat as it has a rubber
washer that the cleaner will disolve, just clean
it with spray carb cleaner as needed...The basket
will hold all of your small pieces but probably
not the top and bottom sections after disassembly.
