F250 guy 106 Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Will do, judging by the white buildup in the valve I'll get a new one, but I noticed an adjustment but I had to pull a bit to get it out and accidentally turned that nut should I be to concerned, if it had a choke plate it'd be easy to adjust, I'm getting a new cable anyway.

toodeep 1,716 Posted February 3, 2020 The only adjustment on the choke cable is the clip on the left handlebar switch. The nut on the carb holds it in place and comes with the new SE valve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toodeep 1,716 Posted February 3, 2020 As long as the valve goes all the way down it shuts off the port. The only adjustment needed is to give the choke lever a little free play so it doesn't try to choke it while turning the handle bars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those are as I was taking it down, but there's white residue where I can't reach with carb cleaner. This Oring is confusing me, to small for drain screw, idle mix screw has all of its parts, looked partzilla diagram, and service manual diagram, can't find where it goes. I have it as follows, clip in middle slot, washer, spring stayed in holder, so this Oring is a mystery to me. Edited February 4, 2020 by F250 guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadetree 5,468 Posted February 4, 2020 unless you put the O-rings in the wrong place ???, the drain screw has a groove around the end of it, you should see it once you remove the drain screw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadetree 5,468 Posted February 4, 2020 here is a before an after carb cleaning, as you can see, the before pic was just down right nasty !!..lol it was cleaned by hand. these are two diff carbs, but you get the idea :-). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
