Air filter housing, fuel needle

fakeplay · #1 08-03-2009, 12:54 PM

I have a grubee gt-5. On the air cleaner housing( the steel housing not the plastic peice ) there is a lever that moves up and down. Anyone know what it's for ? Also my instructions say to bottom out the fuel needle valve and back out 41/2 turns, but when I try to bottom out, the spring commpresses to a point where I'm sure the needle isn't bottoming out. How do I know how many turns out am I spose to go ?
Thanks

lever is choke (up = choke on, down = off)
turn the screw till the spring is bottomed, then turn back out
hope that helped

I'm not talking about the carb choke, I'm talking about the levr on the air cleaner housing, The metal side facing the carb There is a lever on the air cleaner housing. Also is the spring suppose to bottom out or the needle ? Your a dealer ? Jeez they let anybody have the keys to the car I guess.

white lever is fuel shutoff and metal lever is choke.
Your manual is talking about the carb set screw with spring and this is on the side of carb,you turn it clockwise all the way in and then back it out 4 1/2 turns counterclockwise,this is for the idle.

They let anyone buy a engine these days.

WRONG ! My carb has a choke, its white up is on down is off there is also a lever on the air filter housing. The part where you screw on the plastic cover with the air filter. The metal part is what I'm talking about There is a lever there. Do you mean there is two chokes ? Sorry bout the snide remark

sorry, you have the new carb,the white lever is the fuel shut off(the same as the tank shutoff) and the metal one is the carb choke.

I thought it was the choke, I couldn't figure why it kept shutting off while gradually , what I thought was, moving the lever down. I called I called kings where I bought it and it's a new motor they sell. Wacky setup. Now if I can just get the clutch to stop sqeeking when I let off the gas it doesn't sqweek when I pull the clutch in either. only when I back off the throttle Thanks I guess the answer is I have one choke and two fuel shut offs
