Glad you had a backup Ken. The first ever Briggs plastic carb I worked on I made the mistake of blowing compressed air into one of the openings while cleaning the outside. The air blew the entire bowl off, ripping the 2 screws out and breaking off one of the screw tabs. I had no backup so it wasn't good.
Normally lose them in the ultrasonic cleaner which we use when they are really bad for old fuel and ethanol. But at least then we can find them and pop them back in.. Had one that kept flooding out and SealAll glued the jet back in which worked fine and no more flooding either.
Gotta be careful here with our air pressure since Jake installed the 70% more air flow fittings. They work great for cleaning debris off mowers and the air tools are significantly more powerful but when using it after carb cleaning we always have to remember to reduce the air pressure on the regulator.@@KensSmallEngineRepair

Man Ken that happened last year to me too 😂😂😂 good thing you had another one 😊
Those are my fav carbs to clean , ive done that before.. always good to have spares.. great vid .. see u soon
Been there as well. 😉 Luckily we stock them, as some still have the unmodified one in them.
I feel your pain some crow will thank you later they love that shiny stuff !
That is very easy to do, great tip
You'll put your eye out!! I've been known to used canned air.
You’re not the only one it happens to, but we won’t say who lucky you have spares so you can complete the job
Oops! I hate it when that happens. Boneyard for the win!
I haven't had that happen yet. Thanks for the warning. I have lost needle seats that way though.
Similar happened to me with a chainsaw carb filter

Is the jet still in orbit?
Sounded like it!
