Service And Maintenance Of The Carburetor - Wolf Blaze User Manual

Service and Maintenance for the Carburetor
For maximum performance and reliability, it is important the
carburetor is adjusted properly. Failure to do so will affect starting;
idle, as well as the overall vehicles performance.
The carburetor should be serviced and maintained as follows:
1. Regularly check all connections and fittings on the carburetor.
A poor fit between the intake manifold and carburetor can
result in hard starting, poor performance and lower gas
mileage.
2. Check the rubber fuel lines for signs of weathering. If any
cracks or deterioration are found, replace them.

3. Start and drive your vehicle often. Gasoline left sitting for a long
period of time will start to break down, becoming "stale". The
longer a vehicle sits the more likely the carburetor is to develop
issues due to stale fuel contamination.
4. If the vehicle is to be stored for any length of time longer than 2
weeks, the fuel in the carburetor bowl and fuel tank must be
drained from the vehicle into an approved container for use
elsewhere. Failure to do so will result in a contaminated,
"clogged" carburetor. This will cause hard starting and poor
performance. The carburetor will then have to removed and
thoroughly cleaned or, as in many cases, replaced.
Draining the fuel is quite simple. You will find a length of fuel
line running from the bottom of the carburetor to a bracket on the
frame. In that bracket, there will be a brass screw plug that when
removed will allow fuel to drain out of the carburetor bowl. Fuel can
be easily syphoned from the fuel tank.
