clean the jets make sure there is a clean hole that goes all the way through them. be sure that gas is getting to the carb
This carb requires two good O rings on the fuel emulsion tube internally be in very good shape for the primer to work. Also needed is a good fuel bowl gasket seal and of course primer bulb with no leaks or tears. Replace any of these defective rubber parts as needed and it should start and run like new.
the main jet has a small hole in the side. make sure this is clean, use a small pc of wire and some carb cleaner, also has a jet in the middle, make sure all is clean, there is a pilot jet on the side, usually covered with a black plastic cover, remove the jet with a small flat blade screwdriver, clean that out with a small wire. get a tecumseh rebuild kit, replace the needle and seat, adjust the float. you can use compressed air to blow out all the holes, run some carb cleaner through all the jets you see. put it all back together and it should fire right up with a couple of pumps of the primer.

I cleaned my carburetor for my Yamaha bruin 350 now when you give the gas it stalls.It will idle. what did I do wrong?
If the carburetor is cleaned on the Yamaha Bruin 350 and it will idle but stall when given gas, it could be that the float is sticking. The carburetor may also need to be adjusted by turning the adjustment screw so that it is not getting too much gas when revved.

How do you check PCV valves?
You can take the valve out of the valve cover while still attached to the hose. Start engine. If you don't fell any vacuum, then Churck for a clogged hose, clogged intake port, or valve itself. Most time you can just shake valve. If it rattles, it is OK. Note: these can be cleaned by spraying contact cleaner or carburetor cleaner into the valve...Tom.
