So, I began trying to rebuild a spare carb.
I've had issues with the engine since I've had it, and replaced the original carb with a new amazon cheapo which has been, stable in it's poor performance... Where I previously had different issues every day, all of my problems now are reliable.
And, I'm just scared of rebuilding my original carb. So, I found another one a while back on craiglist to try and rebuild first. (I know there's no really good logic to that, but it's what I'm trying).
Anyhow, top cover came off, all the parts came out. A bit dirty, a tiny bits of corrosion on some little pieces.
But, watching pinhead's carb rebuild videos and reading the diagram, I see the "pump outlet ball and spring" (page 6-11 on the field service manual, step 1 and figure 6-19 and page 6-12), which in pinhead's video he calls the accellerator pump... A metel plunger on top of a spring with a ball underneath it..
Well, apparently it's supposed to just fall out. Should be kinda half way out already, held in by the top plate. Mine won't come out. There are a few scratches on it, like someone else had this issue... But it doesn't move.
Has anyone had this problem before? any suggestions?
