SERVICE PROCEDURES
Dirt, dust, water and gum and varnish depos-
its are some of the main causes of poor
carburetor operation.
All parts except the secondary diaphragm
should be thoroughly cleaned in suitable solvent
or commercial carburetor cleaner, then in-
spected for wear or damage.
All restrictions and channels should be blown
out with air.
Experienced technicians develop their own
order or method of disassembly. It is probably
best for a beginner to break the carburetor down
into subassemblies,- keeping the related parts to-
gether. The most important tool or asset of any
carburetor repairman is a keen sense of
observation.
NOTE: Before disassembling any carburetor
in this series place the carburetor on a suit-
able stand or legs. Legs can be made from
four two-inch cap screws and eight nuts.
Screw one nut on each cap screw about one
inch from the end. Place in the mounting
holes and install the other
nut
on the top.
This procedure prevents nicks or damage to
the throttle valves or shafts.

ware noted in the following Steps
