	You also need to remove both main jets. The main has the emulsion tube (called 'holder' in the left picture) behind it, with the jet needle (also called 'collar') behind that. Be sure you get these little parts out (part #16017 on the diagram), as they could fall out on their own if you don't.		You also need to remove both main jets.

When you replace them, check in the carb intake to make sure they're poking through. They only go in one way. The longer, narrower end goes in first.

	The first thing you should do is look through those pilot jets that you removed. Make sure you can see that the very small hole isn't plugged up. Spray it out with carb cleaner, then pull a single strand of '''COPPER''' wire from a piece of 14-18 gauge that you probably have laying around someplace, feed it through the pilot jet hole, and roll the jet around the wire.
