Hello Group
I have a little Honda gas generator.
It's an EM500
I want to clean the carb but the
owners manual doesn't tell me what the
jet settings should be.
Anyone have any links or info about
this little generator?
I really don't want to have to buy the service
manual if possible.
Thanks in advance

Back in the day, when my dad owned a small engine repair shop, I believe
that he said, "Before you take it a part, count the turns to seated,
then when you put it back together, take it back out from seated to that
many turns."
He continued with (and this will help you if you didn't do the former)
"A good place to start when you don't remember how many turns it was is
1 & 1/2 turns"
