Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this kit fits my carburetor?
This kit is specifically for Lawn Boy D600 and F series engines with original Lawn-Boy carburetors, and certain Johnson/Evinrude outboards. The most reliable method is to match your old part's number to the ones listed in our Part Number Matrix.
What are the signs of a failing needle and seat?
Common symptoms include fuel leaking from the carburetor, an engine that floods easily, fuel in the crankcase oil, or difficulty starting. These occur when the needle no longer creates a proper seal with the seat, allowing excess fuel to enter the carburetor bowl.
Is this kit difficult to install?
Installation is straightforward for those with basic mechanical experience. It involves removing the carburetor float bowl to access the old parts. However, due to the precise nature of carburetor work, professional installation is recommended if you are unsure.
How often should the needle and seat be replaced?
There is no fixed replacement interval. It should be replaced when signs of wear or failure appear. The rubber tip on the needle can harden or deform over time, especially with modern ethanol-blended fuels, compromising its seal.
