    Hello Group
    I have a little Honda gas generator.
    It's an EM500
    I want to clean the carb but the
    owners manual doesn't tell me what the
    jet settings should be.
    Anyone have any links or info about
    this little generator?
    I really don't want to have to buy the service
    manual if possible.
    Thanks in advance
    Frank

    Back in the day, when my dad owned a small engine repair shop, I believe
    that he said, "Before you take it a part, count the turns to seated,
    then when you put it back together, take it back out from seated to that
    many turns."
    He continued with (and this will help you if you didn't do the former)
    "A good place to start when you don't remember how many turns it was is
    1 & 1/2 turns"
