John Deere JS38 push mower

Finally got back to mower and removing the carb.

Wire will easily go through hole within center of carb.

Wire will easily go through the side hole shown in image below

It will not go through the top hole to meet the side hole in image below

Thanks for the video ... my carb looked as clean as the one he worked on.

Put it back together and it started 2nd pull.
Had put the bagger on and bagged some leaves for about 10 minutes.

Stopped it to empty the bag and it would not re-start.
Seems I'm back to the original problem.

Check your main jet again (float bowl bolt) and see if it's plugged up again.

It was running until I hit the kill switch ... how would the main jet be clogged ?

Just tried starting again .... after cooling for about an hour, started 1st pull.
