FUEL SYSTEM/CARBURETION
Carburetor Disassembly/Inspection
Cleaning
1. Thoroughly clean all passages with carburetor
cleaner or electrical contact cleaner.
A WARNING
Wear eye protection when using compressed air or
chemical spray cleaners. If you get cleaner in your eyes
or if you swallow cleaner, see your doctor immediately.
Some carburetor cleaners are extremely caustic and ex
tended periods of soaking can loosen the adhesive seal
er on passage drill-way plugs. Do not soak rubber or
plastic components (such as diaphragms, needle seat
screen, or O-Rings) in caustic cleaning solutions. Irrep
arable damage will occur. Do not use agitator type car
buretor cleaning equipment. Rubber parts must be
cleaned with mild detergent and hot water only.
2. If the carburetor is extremely dirty or contaminated
with fuel residue and varnish, soak for short periods
only in carburetor cleaner, and rinse in hot water.
3. Replace the jets if they are extremely dirty or have a
buildup of fuel residue, corrosion, or fungus. Even a
small amount of foreign material will reduce the flow
characteristics of a jet.
4. Verify all passages and jets are unobstructed by
spraying electrical contact cleaner through the
passages.
Do not use wire or welding tip cleaners on the jets as the
orifice size may be altered.
5. Use low pressure air to dry carburetor body and all
components.
