Honda GX160

Yes it's got the emulsion tube,I don't think the carb would work without it.And I have cleaned out all the holes.

That tube helps break the gas down into smaller drops, mixed with air to create a combustible mixture. An engine can't run on liquid gasoline, has to be fine mist, then with engine heat ~~~ vapors~~~.

I know what an emulsion tube is and for, just never heard it referred to as an E tube.

:smile: Common term used for us that use the GX for racing. Engine will run with a carb not having an E-tube, will start and idle with choke on but will not rev up. This I know from experience,from the very 1st GX carb I worked on.
