I have a stuck air valve piston.
The piston is stuck solid. I have tried using a long handled screw driver and prying the piston making sure not to gouge or mar the carb body, but no luck.
I have had it soaking in PB blaster for 2 days and tried some Seafoam "Deep Creep" with no luck. All together it has been soaking for 4 days.
I tapped lightly on the areas I can reach with a ratchet extension so as not to gouge the piston but no luck on that either. It hasn't budged.
Is there any trick or tip anyone can give to free the piston?
I have removed everything from the carb including the throttle shaft and plate.
I may have to get another carb if I can't free the piston.
Thank you for any and all advice/tips.
