When I took the carb apart, I don't remember seeing any of the items in the pic with arrows pointing to them. All I remember seeing on the pilot screw was the spring and an o-ring . What gives? I'm confused and I can't find a more detailed schematic.

If it’s like older carbs should look like this

Do you have the service manual? Link ink my sig block

Yes, I have a SM. Here's the odd part, I had no new parts remaining from the Hi-Caliber rebuild kit. That's a first! I'm stumped. Gonna put her back together in the morning and see what happens I guess. :eek

Oh yeah without that oring I think you gonna have problems. Use the old oring if it’s decent

It goes together like Goober's photo shows with the washer against the spring, then the o-ring goes on last against the washer, then the entire stack screws into the bottom of the carb body until very lightly seated... then back it out 1 3/4 turns for initial adjustment. Follow procedure in the manual for final adjustment on the running motor.

That washer protects the tiny o-ring from getting cut by the end of the spring. As Goober said, you'll be sorry if you don't put that last o-ring back in there... if you don't have one buy another china kit from another china company.

I didn't realize it was a China kit, I obviously didn't dig too deep when purchasing. Can someone point me to an OEM kit? I've looked for a couple hours and can't locate one. I must not be asking Duck Duck Go (should never use google) the right question

Sure the most highly recommended carb rebuild kit is from Shindy; I used an All Balls kit with no problems but others have had mixed results. Idk why some carb kit have one gasket and others don’t; you might also try your friendly Honda dealer

Clean that carb with pipe cleaners, swabs and get all the passages as best you can.
