foreign substance, clogging or damage.
Check the tip of the float valve, where it
contacts the valve seat, for stepped wear or
contamination.

CARBURETOR BODY/JETS
INSPECTION AND 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.

●
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.
●
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.
