FJ180V carburetor re-installation help!!

[kbowley]

Thanks for the suggestion. I will replace the fuel filter when I get around to this. Good tip on checking the o ring. Seems like it should be less disassembly just to re-install the carburetor.

Try a Honda GCV if you think that's bad...LOL!

I am having a tough time finding a 180 with a protruding horn from the intake manifold; there should be just two gaskets and an insulator. Can you provide the model code, i.e., fj180v-cm03, please? Remove the intake tube so you have some room to work or simply remove the air filter housing intact. I would replace all the gaskets, as they are rough but may still work okay, as the inner sides close to the carb bore are intact. Once the air filter tube is removed, you should be able to angle the carb easier to get first the choke linkage, then the throttle linkage and spring hooked up. That breather tube is rough, and I recommend replacement to prevent ingestion, being that it comes in after the filter. Please get back to us with the full model number. Thanks

I see now that what I thought was a horn is actually a plug to stop debris from getting in. Me big dummy! Any who Here is the parts diagram for your engine. That is one pricey carburetor.

I got $1.00 It will run like crap, as they always do.

Most of the cheap Chinese carburetors I buy run just fine. This is yet another controversy along with what type of oil, anti-afterfire solenoids, ethanol fuel, etc.
