I picked up a 5 hp Nissan 4 stroke some time back and have just now had time to take a look at it. All I know from the PO is that it doesn't run. My gauge will not fit the plug hole so I haven't checked compression but it has excellent spark jumping 7/16 with a bright blue snap. I removed the carb to clean and found this.
The PO has buggered up the main jet pretty bad. I figured I would look for some advice before trying to remove it. Any ideas on how to remove it without making the situation worse?
Another question, my first time in one of these carbs, is that the original pin for the float? I tried to tap it out to take a look at the needle but it didn't budge so again I thought I would seek a little advice. It definitely didn't just push out like I am used to.
