CARB SETUP??

Recommended Posts

I have a K181, and I'm maybe 2 1/2 turns on the main jet and 2 turns on the idle.  I agree that you need to clean the carb.

Fuel pump is fairly straight forward. It is either a vacuum pump or a mechanical pump, externally identical, bolted under the carb. The vacuum one just inspect the diaphragm for holes (if you can hold it up to the sun and not see light you are good. Then inspect the little discs for wear. If none, it should be good. 

 

If there is a sediment bowl on the bottom of the tank I'd look at that good too. My 855 sat about 10 years with fuel in it and that thing was plugged solid.
