rejetting a carb
Original Message   Jan 23, 2006 10:19 am
Good morning all:

I have a Simplicity 1060E (B&S Intek OHV, 10HP engine) that is 3 years old. From the beginning of the season, the engine ran rough, stalled easily under loads that normally wouldn't be a problem, needed a lot of choke for a long period of time to warm up. Was stored off season with stabilzer in gas.

Finally had a break in the weather last week. Repair shop picked up machine, cleaned and rejetted carb. Said problem is due to ethanol in gas (now mandatory in CT is " as MTBE is banned). Engine now runs well.

What exactly is "rejetting" a carb?

Thanks in advance.

Fran
