CLEANING
"
• Clean all jets with a spray-type carburetor cleaner and blow
dry with 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 with
compressed air.
$
• After cleaning, reassemble the carburetor with new seals and
gaskets. Reinstall the pilot screw to the original factory setting
with a new O-ring seal.
Do not attempt to remove the four screws of the car-
buretor body.
Some carburetor cleaning chemicals, especially dip-
type soaking solutions, are very corrosive and must
be handled carefully. Always follow the chemical man-
ufacturer’s instructions on proper use, handling and
strage.
Do not use wire to clean jets or passageways. Wire
can damage jets and passageways. If the components
cannot be cleaned with a spray cleaner it may be nec-
essary to use a dip-type cleaning solution and allow
them to soak. Always follow the chemical manufac-
turer’s instructions for proper use and cleaning of the
carburetor components.
