I just rebuilt a 1967 Troy Bilt tiller. It still has the original K161 engine on it. I cleaned the carb with spray cleaner. (It had a LOT of rust in the bowl from the gas tank.) I normally completely break down my carbs and soak them in my carb cleaner. I however could not figure out how to get the "atomizer" or "main jet" out of it. Does anybody know if Kohler pressed in their atomizer/main jets. If you look from the bowl side into the main jet there are no slots for a screwdriver. It doesn't even look like the slots have been stripped either. It's just smooth and round. I will leave a pic or two for reference. All of the kits I have looked up do not have this part. I've looked everywhere I could think of. So I first thought it was a non serviceable part. Is it? Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
