Hey Guys-
I ordered a carb kit for the HDA-87 carb on my 262. I've been wanting to rebuild that carb for some time now and was checking out some howto videos and such and it looks like it's not too bad of a process. The ereplacementparts video actually makes it look pretty easy.
One question I had -- once the diaphragm side including needle and spring and such and check valve sides are all removed I was planning on also removing the screen and then thoroughly blowing out the carb body w/ cleaner and then reassembling with kit parts that replace old parts. I'm hoping the kit comes with a new spring so the needle will function strong with new diaphragm and such.
I noticed in the ereplacementparts vid they did not remove the H and L needles -- if you screw those all the way out can they be removed so if there's any debris or varnish down in there it can be squirted out with carb clean? Anything else I should be aware of? I'm assuming if you turn the needles out they will come out so they can be inspected and cleaned?
Thanks for any tips!
