One thing not shown here are the main jets. ~~If you take~~ out the main jet~~, the~~ emulsion tube (called 'holder' in the left picture) is behind it, ~~and then a little-known part,~~ the jet needle (also called 'collar'). 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.

Some notes on the main jet:

*You can reach the main jet more easily than the pilot, but they have the same sized screwdriver slot. This makes it a good candidate for figuring out what tool to use on the pilot.

*You need to hold the emulsion tube still with a wrench in order to get the jet out of it.

*Remove the emulsion tube and look through the holes in the sides of the emulsion tube against sunlight to make sure they are clean.

5 - I can never decide in this case if we should be ensuring cleanliness instead of insuring it

6 - when reinstalling the emulsion tube, not all threads will be hidden in the carb body. That is normal, do not over-tighten
