February 8, 201015 yr Author Yep, idle jet is also pilot jet! + Empty any water that might be in your float chamber. Thankyou. Im gonna take the carb apart again, and use some aerosol carb cleaner to make sure all the jets are clean.
February 8, 201015 yr Moderator i suppose pulling the choke out seems to fix the problem, yes take the pilot jet out and you will no doubt find it blocked, soak it in a bottle of nail varnish remover or as you say use aerosol carb cleaner. Dont be scared of poking it with a nylon bristle from a brush. The diagram 'Cynic' was referring to is really only for the starting circuit...ie the choke
