Exploded and identified view, and reassembly steps. For Elena, Matt, Brad, and Amanda.

Feed throttle cable (not shown) through goose neck adjuster, compress throttle spring, and attach throttle cable tip to throttle plate.

Screw down Carburetor top.

Detail of carb bowl, float, float pivot pin, needle jet, and main jet.

Slot needle jet into float.

Fit needle into the needle seat of the underside of the carb, fit pivot pin to hold float and check for freedom of motion.

Thread in main jet.

Install float bowl

Detail of carb side, fuel filter, banjo fitting, and screw with gasket.

Fit filter. It's probably directional, pay attention for best fit.

Fit banjo fitting and screw with gasket

Fit air filter into carb or into air filter cover/housing.

Fit air filter cover, and voila! Sometimes it's easier to install the carb onto the intake, and then install the air filter and cover, depends on available space.

Good luck!
