Cleaned carb 3x in past2 weeks .
Last time, used a wire tie to spin within the idle jet and the main jet/nozzle.
Used one can carb cleaner on the carb body , used compressed air in each orifice.
Float seemed intact. Ran tie wire everywhere that I could.
Re-used original 2 gaskets on each side of shield. They looked very good, clean , pliable.
Used 1500 grit paper to polish heat shield which had discolored spots--> clean smooth shiny.
Not confident in correctly re-assembling governor spring on the right tension .
Is there a correct method?
I did not remove the spring /change the spring dial .
I did disconnect the governor spring from the carb body to disassemble carb body.
Is it possible to over tension / under tension unless you reset the dial ?
Hoping you can tell me that the governor spring was set incorrectly and keeps RPM low.
Used firm torque on 2 carb bolts- seems like air-tight fit.
Did not spray gasket areas while running engine.
Engine seems AOK at idle ( perhaps slight surge) -- but :
engine will not develop high enough RPM under throttle and surges while off idle RPM.
I cannot believe that this carb cannot be fixed.
3x cleaned idle jet , main jet , filter around main jet.
What is the trick?
