read Leroy'S on the 9.5hp carb MUST BE 100% clean
The high speed jet is located in the float bowl which is located in the bottom 1/2 of the carburetor. It is in the hole behind the hex head plug in the very bottom front of the carburetor. Takes a well fitting screwdriver to get this jet out without damage. This carburetor must be absolutely, positively, SQUEAKY CLEAN. And it is very easily clogged, so may need to be checked often if there is a possibility of dirty fuel. DO NOT jam wires, drills, or whatever through the orifice making it larger in your attempts to clean it. This jet is a precision part. The motor will never work right again if you do.
The carburetor float is cork, sealed with shellac, they require replacement if they become saturated. Shellac is dissolved by the alcohol found in ethanol gasoline. These carburetor floats are not available aftermarket, but come with the OE repair kits, part #0382048. Be sure to use the clip that connects the float arm to the new needle. These clips were not used on the old float system, and are beneficial to use because of the possibility of the motor being laid on it's side during transport, the float may become stuck. This clip pulls the float down when the float bowl is empty. Also the float COULD get reinstalled upside down, as the pivot arm is not centered. There is a small lip that protrudes off the brass pivot arm. This lip is actually a float stop and is designed to bump/stop against the edge of the brass inlet jet.
The BRP part # is 0382048, which includes the float. Available for $30.96 as of 5-2013. I am disappointed in this kit. It comes with, (like most) repair parts for both the early and late carbs but does not come with everything. On this carburetor, there is a 1/2" core plug on the outer part of the carb that is inline with 3 small holes in the carb throat. These holes had to be drilled through the access hole this core plug covers up. However INSIDE and under the core plug is a plastic filler plug #0312909 that is not included.
