INSPECTION
CARBURETOR BODY/JETS CLEANING
Check carburetor body and each jet for wear
or damage.
Clean all jets with a spray-type carburetor
cleaner and dry them using compressed air.
Clean all circuits of the carburetor
thoroughly-not just the perceived problem
area.
Clean the circuits in the carburetor body with
a spray-type cleaner and allow each circuit to
soak, if necessary, to loosen dirt and varnish.
Blow the body dry using compressed air.
After cleaning, reassemble the carburetor
with new seals.
Ɣ Some carburetor cleaning chemicals ,
especially dip type soaking solutions,
are very corrosive and must be handled
carefully. Always follow the chemical
manufacturer’s instructions on proper
use, handling and storage.
Ɣ Do not use a wire to clean the jets or
passageways. A wire can damage the
jets and passageways. If the
components cannot be cleaned with a
spray cleaner it may be necessary to
use a dip-type cleaning solution and
allow them to soak. Always follow the
chemical manufacturer’s instructions
for proper use and cleaning of the
carburetor components.
