Eighty percent of these carburetors operated as designed after being properly cleaned with carburetor cleaner, a jet cleaner, and compressed air.  \nThis job aid will help ensure the carburetor is properly cleaned. In most cases, this can be accomplished without replacing any parts or disturbing the pilot screw and limiter cap.  \nHonda carburetor cleaner is recommended for best results. Some commercially-available chemical carburetor cleaners are very caustic. These cleaners may damage parts such as gaskets, floats, choke valves, and float valve seats. Check the container for instructions. If you are in doubt, do not use these products to clean Honda carburetors.  \nAn optional ultrasonic cleaner can be used following the manufacturer’s instructions.  \nProper storage is always good advice to give to customers to help prevent carburetor clogging. Refer them to their owner’s manual for storage instructions.  \nTOOLS REQUIRED:  \nOrder tools and accessories through your normal American Honda parts ordering procedures.  \n\n| Description | Part Number |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Honda Carburetor Cleaner | 08732-CC000 | |\n| Jet Cleaner | 07JPZ-001010B | |\n\n©2010 American Honda Motor Co. , Inc.—All Rights Reserved Date of Issue: March 2010 (PJA54159)  \nPage 1 of 8  \nBEFORE CLEANING  \n• Refer to the shop manual to remove and install the carburetor.  \n• If a significant amount of water, contamination, or deteriorated gasoline is inside the float chamber, inspect and clean the inside of the fuel tank and fuel filter screen.  \n• Carefully inspect all the gaskets for damage and replace as necessary.  \n• Be sure the work surface is clean.  \n• Use compressed air pressure of 207 kPa (30 psi) maximum.  \n\n| B CAUTION |\n| --- |\n| Always wear a face shield or safety glasses when using carburetor cleaner or compressed air. Applying pressure into small passages can cause fluid and air to shoot back into your face. |\n\nCLEANING PROCEDURE  \n1. Thoroughly clean the outside of the carburetor body using carburetor cleaner and compressed air.  \nInspect the carburetor body, throttle and choke levers, and pilot screw (including limiter cap) for damage. If any damage exists, carburetor replacement may be necessary.  \n2. Remove the set bolt, float chamber, float pin, float valve, and float.  \nClean and then inspect the float valve tip for damage and replace if necessary.

Remove the main jet and the main nozzle.  \nWith the main jet removed, push down on the top of the main nozzle with a screwdriver.  \nIf the nozzle does not come out, spray carburetor cleaner around the nozzle to loosen it and tap the carburetor on the workbench.  \n4. Remove the throttle stop screw and spring (if applicable) .  \n5. Remove the 5 x 6 mm screw covering the pilot jet.  \n©2010 American Honda Motor Co. , Inc.—All Rights Reserved Page 3 of 8  \n6. Clean the float valve seat using carburetor cleaner and compressed air.  \n7. Clean the main nozzle thoroughly using carburetor cleaner, appropriate size jet cleaning tool, and compressed air. Do not use a welding tip cleaning needle.  \nNOTICE  \nUsing a welding tip cleaning needle or a jet needle that is too large may damage the carburetor. Never force a needle, and never use a needle with a bent or damaged tip. Inspect the center and side holes for damage or contamination by holding the main nozzle up to a light to verify they are clean.  \nPage 4 of 8 ©2010 American Honda Motor Co. , Inc.—All Rights Reserved  \n8. Clean the main jet by spraying carburetor cleaner through the jet and using the appropriate size jet cleaning tool and compressed air.
