5-12 FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANING
"
• 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. If necessary, soak each cir-
cuit in a dip-type cleaning solution to loosen dirt and varnish.
Dry the carburetor body using compressed air.
#
• After cleaning, reassemble the carburetor with new O-rings.

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
storage.
Do not use a wire to clean the jets or passageways. If
wire is used, the jets and passageways may become
damaged. If the components cannot be cleaned with a
spray-type cleaner it may be necessary to soak the
components in a dip-type cleaning solution. Always
follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions for
proper use and cleaning of the carburetor compo-
nents.
Replace the removed O-rings with new ones.
