this is a pretty specific question about the carb on this motor. I want to rebuild the carb properly and resoak in carb cleaner solution. I took off the normal screws and rubber seals, float of my carb but there is one thing i am unsure of. on the top of this carb there is a dime size metal cap that looks to be pressed in. when i got my new carb kit, included was a metal cap that looks similar to the one on the top of the carb. does anyone know if this needs to be removed before i soak in carb cleaner? if it does need to be removed can you guide me through it. the main reason i ask is that my motor is not running up to par (earlier post) and i am wondering a dirty carb is the problem. any suggestions will be helpful. thank you in advance.
