_Instructions_:

2. Remove the carburetor. To do this, remove the air cleaner cover, then loosen the carburetor mounting bolts and remove the carburetor from the engine. Be sure to keep all of the parts that you remove in order.
3. Disassemble the carburetor. To do this, remove the float bowl, needle valve, and main jet. Be careful not to lose any of the small parts.
4. Clean the carburetor parts. Use carburetor cleaner and a brush to clean all of the carburetor parts. Be sure to pay special attention to the small passages and orifices.
5. Reassemble the carburetor. Once all of the parts are clean, reassemble the carburetor in the reverse order of disassembly. Be sure to tighten all of the bolts and screws securely.
