HONDA JET CLEANER 07JPZ-001010B

Is that kit any different from a torch cleaner kit you get at your local welding supply store?

Do you guys see what I mean? That Honda kit is $70.00 on eBay!

Aboit the only difference is the smallest tip in that set is significantly smaller than your standard hobart tip cleaner set... so basically, they added one smaller one, which is the cleaner mounted in the brass tube.. which unless you are working on really small pilot jets, never gets used... i have gotten by for over 10 yrs as a full time small engine mechanic with out that particular size cleaner tip... LOL

The smallest one is the one in the brass tube? Damn! That's the one the guy was using in the video to "clean" the idle jet at 20:10.

I have never needed that smallest one like i said, been a tech for over 10 yrs at 2 different honda dealers, and have always used the cheap hobart set from tractor supply....

There are various carburetors that have jets that small (the GC carburetors I believe). It comes in handy for getting a small hole started in a thoroughly clogged jet.

Why is that Honda kit so freaking expensive? It's almost the cost of a new Genuine Honda carburetor.

I have a feeling that if I bought a new carburetor, it's going to come with the same idle jet that's too small.

Thanks for that link. I find it interesting that the wires are advertised as being smooth and not serrated.

Because honda says so... i just checked how much it would cost if we ordered it direct from honda, dealer cost is over $40, and the suggested retail is $85... joys of honda special tools right there... its a precision japanese instrument instead of a cheap chinese made torch tip cleaner i guess...

They do the smooth to not abrade the jet to a larger size

Would the expensive Honda kit have smooth wires or would they be serrated?

Just looked at my coworkers honda set, they are smooth

ThankYou for that information!

By the way, that idle jet is not removable like the main jet is; correct?

TEchnically correct, removal is destructive (you have to thread a self tapping screw into the top of it) and if i recall, there is no replacement for them (that said, i have removed them successfully, you need to be VERY careful that the tip of the self tapping screw does not make its way into the orifice, i had to pull one out of a used carb because the customer tried to clean it themself and broke off a piece of wire in the pilot jet...LOL )

I went ahead and ordered the special Honda cleaning kit from a place called "PartzillaMarketplace" on eBay.

If that doesn't work, they have a new carburetor in stock at the local pro shop for $114.

Sorry, but I was just referring to Jerry’s Avatar in a humorous way.

As I’ve not seen Basher (Jerry posting in a while)

And for the record, Basher has helped me in the past with my ms260's

So I will repeat it, I am sorry as i now know it was taken in the wrong context of me posting the comment.

I’ve deleted it now
