THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I was taking the carb apart and, yeah, this little thing falls out--don't know where it came from. Shop is closed for the holiday, manual just shows the parts but main jet is not shown connected to ANYTHING, and first youtube video doesn't say anything about it either. Carb is all torn apart and I need answers. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!

Video is a lifesaver no one else shows the proper jet location.. thank you for making this 5 years ago..

Thank you so much😅!!! After first winter new John Deere d130 would not stay running. Figured gelled gas in carb. Took it off & cleaned it. I do remember now finding jet and not knowing where it came from. I was sure it belonged on that plastic tube seemed to fit great. Well , after, engine stayed running but has surged horribly ever since except levels off under load of mower deck. I have taken carb off a good 10 times or more googling and racking my brains for months with no success. I had been installing jet on top of tube instead of turning it over and pushing it up the tube to seat. I am certain that your video has solved a 2 year elusive problem for me. I can't thank you enough.

You should get an award for video helping the most people per view! My jet fell out and I found another wrong place to put it that no one else has found. Almost gave up until finding your video! Thanks!

It took me six times taking the carb on and off before I discovered another website that showed where the main jet goes. Runs like crap without the jet. Thanks for helping people.

Yep...turned it over and out it came. And I did the same thing you did..."Where in the heck did that thing come from?" Thank you!!

You are a life saver, took apart my carb 3 times trying to figure out what I did wrong cause the main jet fell out and I did not see EXACTLY where it came from. Thank You....

Thanks a million ... There is not much info out there and you saved me ... Thanks

Thank You! I was wrong about where I thought it went (carb body). So glad I found your video.

I can't Thank you enough that happened to me a few day ago. I put back together in the wrong place and of course it didn't start. Looking through my phone for something completely different and this popped up. I couldn't believe it, went out Took it apart put it back right and the tractor fired right up. Once again THANK YOU.......

Had that problem today...spent a hour trying to figure it out... Glad you posted your video ....i just wish I had. Found it before I wasted a hour researching that jet.

This information is priceless. Answered my issues with a carburetor I have. Thx

You're the man. Rebuilding my carb now and I had to stop because of the damn jet. No schematic I found showed where it went. Stumbled on this while not getting an answer in another video. Thanks.

I had figured it out by the time I saw this video but it's nice to get confirmation. The tricky part was that the o-ring was worn so it didn't stay in there at all. Thanks!

Best video online. Thank you so much, I had actually put it back together, but the gasket was broke during re-assembly and the carb flooded. Thought I put the jet in the wrong spot, until I saw that gasket was split. Thanks

you were a life saver with this video. I took my carb apart again and put the jet inside the tube oring side down. Prior to that I put it on top of the tube. The tractor now starts and runs great. Thanks

I didn't spend much time with finding where that darn jet went. your video helped so, thank you!

First time I have dis-assembled a Nikki carb and some of the parts including the main jet had already come loose from their positions. After cleaning the carb three times, including steam cleaning , I had the cleanest Nikki carb in Scotland but it was still not working! My conclusion was that I was assembling the unit incorrectly. Your video confirmed my error and sorted out the problem; I had been inserting the main jet at the top of the mounting as opposed to placing it into the flow tube at the bottom. Garden tractor now working fine with it's B&S 13.5hp OHV engine. Many thanks.

Thank you for the video. Best two minutes of my day today. I'm working on a B&S with a NIKKI carb, and the jet dropped out on the workbench. I thought, "Where did that come from, and where the heck does it go??"

Thank you!! I rebuilt my Nikki carb like 6 times because I put the jet in the wrong way, so it ran too rich.

You are a lifesaver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this damn mower finally mowed my grass after a month of BS... I also upgraded the needle to brass... those plastic ones stink ....thanks again!!!

Thanks Rob for taking the time and energy to post this video. I did not think that I would find this information but here it is and you did a great job answering it. I cleaned the carb and thought that I could get away without replacing the bowl gasket. It leaked right away. The second time I removed the bowl the main jet dropped out. I lost track of how the main jet was oriented (I knew where it went ok). Again thanks, you are awesome.

My first attempt at cleaning a NIKKI carb on a 10hp B&S engine, thought it was plugged up so blew out bottom of transfer tube and jet went someplace in the shop back wall, never to be seen again. $10 later all fixed. Lesson learned. Good informative video, wish I had seen it before I got out the air hose on mine.

Thanks a million!!! Thats exactly what happened to me!!! Excellent video to the point!!!!

Thank You Rob! Mine, too fell out and I wasn't sure which direction it went back in.

Thank you so nmuch!!!! I'm in Brandon Florida. Hurricane irma is berring down on us. My generator with nikki carb was acting up. I put in a new carb kit and could not get it to run good at all. As it turns out after comming accross your vido, I had the main jet under the fule float neddle. WRONG PLACE... Just in time for power outage!!! THANKS YOU SAVED US

Man you don't know how long I've been looking for this info. Thanks for this short and direct video.

Wow. I knew where it went, but had put it in upside down. Was about to order complete carb. Lifesaver - short, and to the point with the title. Thank You!!

Rob can't thank you enough. Great vid. very helpful. Thanks again.

Rob I want to thank you so very much, I searched for this information for about three days and finally found yours. Im currently in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria struck and every one here is depending on generators. some one took apart my friends carb and apparently didn't put the parts back in the correct order, this video is a life saver. Thank you thank you

Rob, exactly what I was looking for. I did put it in wrong twice. Just like you showed! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks pal, no F-ing shit! Where did that little jet come from? As soon as it fell out I stopped what I was doing and checked KZfaq (God of Instruction). Really appreciate you taking the time to post this. I'm doing repairs during a snowstorm!

just what I been searching for hours life saver

Thank you a bunch for posting this. Came out at the top of the search list.

Excellent video! I own and operate a small engine shop.

You sir are a legend, this has saved the day

thanks for posting this, it helped a lot. It's too bad they don't include an o ring for the main jet in the bowl gasket kit.

Rob just like to tell you that you saved my ass I could not figure out where that little jet lived I spent several hours on youtube and removed and installed the carburetor so many times I thought I was going have to replace the carburetor just to find out where that jet went , again thanks.

Thank You for the great video and information. The information was very important, Don't worry about the camera! Well worth watching. Again Thank You

Fantastic, found jet but was not going to guess where it went, googled and pulled up this and it makes it real claim. have other carb in past that had it in same tunnel way but always screwed in, really supersized me. Thank you great answer. I am working on 22 hp lawnman, breakout shows main jet standard and high altitude but not where it goes. Thank again

Like many others have said a very useful video, exactly the help I needed....thank you so much.

Thank you for showing this! I placed the main jet wrong and couldn’t figure it out until I saw this. I’m going to fix it now!

Awesome saved me a lot of frustration !!!!!!!

Had the very same thing to happen. Watched a couple of videos in this carb. Glad I came across this ine addresses that particular part.

many thanks, great video on simple problem that had me stumped. Saved the day Rob.

Thank you for this information, I was one of those people who thought I knew where it went, ran like shit, so I was wrong. You enlightened me and I fixed my error, and now she's purring like a kitten

Extremely helpful. Thanks very much for the effort and for sharing!

Many, many thanks, mate! I had chosen the second option you showed and ... it worked for a little bit but then, of course it failed. Cheers!

Great video. I was cleaning my carb for the first time & accidently blew the main jet out with compressed air. Couldn't find anything in the assembly drawings to show its location so thanks.

Thank you for sharing this ..

Whew!!! Life saver. Appreciate video. Short, sweet, right to point!!

Just happened to me a few min ago, you got my attention, I opened carb carefully and jet popped out like spring loaded.

Thank you for sharing this. I was trying to place it on top.

Awesome!! Have been looking for the answer. Thank you so much! Had one fall out.

THANK YOU SO MUCH someone else took it apart and i get to fix and put it back together

Thanks for the timeless video. After an hour of attempting to find the main jet location (and several hours of searching online) I had settled on the location shown in your video, but probably had not pushed it down sufficiently to get enough clearance for re-assembly. I will push harder. thanks again, a grreat help.

Omg just happen to be Thanks very much ur a life saver

Thanks you saved my rebuilt job

Thanks, I was about to put in bsck together upside down.

Thanks, I was in exactly this situation. Got me going.

You're a damn life saver

Thanks a million!!!

Exactly what I needed. Thanks

thanks rob you got me back going

Thank you! I've had a lot of troubles with the carb recently, and after installing a new carb kit and cleaning the other parts I was still having issues. Turns out I had reinstalled the main jet upside-down, and what's more neither the new nor the old jet would fit into the new housing, so I had to use the old housing with the old jet, with of course the new needle valve.

Thanks bro I really needed that info.

God bless you Sir! I have been jacking with this and the mower shop even told me the incorrect installation. I knew it went in the way you show it. It's truly a miracle. Thank you youtube too btw.....lol

Huh.. I thought I knew where that jet went until I watched your video! Don't know it it made a difference, but I put it on the metal stem first. Thanks!

I echo the comments of others-- THANK YOU
