So I'm trying to figure out why this carb primer won't prime, and for just kicks and grins, I tune into the video where Slippers locks taryl out of his own shop and does a video on this exact carb. I'd already cleaned everything except the jet/hole where the fuel actually squirts out of the primer and into the head. That part is clogged. (and still partially clogged).
Anywho, I had a little trouble getting the butterfly out of the cloke lever. I used two pair of needle nose and they just kept slipping off. Bout had me ready to just dig out a different carb.
At the end of this video, and I mean the very end, there's an outtake of slippers, with needlenose, trying to get the butterfly out.
