Thread: Carburetor rebuild for 112-655

From yesterday, I removed the carburetor which is a simple enough job, once you have the bonnet up out of the way

here are the tools required to remove the carburetor (if it hasn't been modified by a prev/owner)

then to dismantle it a good blade screwdriver is needed and if your like me the good book close by to refer to as required, I didn't change too many things inside the carburetor as the numbers on the parts did not match what I was going to remove, so all put aside until I can talk to either Murray R (Modern mtrs) or some-one just as knowledgeable, a mad scramble late in the afternoon (storm front dumped 8mm rain) so it was re-assembled in the shed and re-fitted this morning.
Here is a short clip of the engine running before I adjusted the idle screw

back, and with it raining late yesterday, I don't want to move it across the grass as it will sink into the ground and possibly upset swmbo LOL, anyway when I do move it to road test it I will also road test 172-562 workshop truck, cheers Dennis

I find that the best way of holding the bonnet upright is an okkie strap from the edge of the bonnet to the back of the door frame.

Yes John, I have to agree with you or remove it altogether, but the gunbuggy doesn't have anything to secure a ockey strap too LOL, and it's too much trouble to remove the cam net attached to the bonnet and the bonnet is a 2 person job (for me now a days) cheers mate Dennis
