CARBURETOR

5.
Disconnect the primer tube from the carburetor
fitting. (See Figure 19.)
6.
Pull the carburetor assembly down and away from
the engine such that the air vane governor clears
the hole in the shroud mounting base.
7.
Remove the throttle cable screw and nut from the
throttle cable mounting bracket.
CAUTION: Be careful in the next step to avoid
damage to the delicate governor spring.
8.
Slide the plastic control lever to either end of its
adjustment and snap it to the locked position to
help restrict its movement while you disconnect the
throttle cable from the control lever.
Removal of R tek Carburetor
1.
Disconnect spark plug wire. We strongly
recommend cleaning the exterior of the carburetor
before removal from the machine. This reduces
the chance that dirt can get into the carburetor and
will extend the life of the solvent in your cleaning
tank.
2.
Remove fuel line and drain; remove the fuel tank.
On snowthrowers, it will be necessary to remove
the lower shroud to access the carburetor and fuel
line.
3.
The carburetor is attached to the intake pipe by two
screws, which are screwed into two captured nuts.
The nuts are held in their pockets by a rubber band
during the manufacturing process. If the rubber
band is no longer in place, smear some general
purpose grease on the nuts to prevent them from
falling out of the pockets. Remove the two screws
and discard the gasket. (See Figure 18.)

4.
Disconnect the primer tube from the carburetor
fitting (see Figure 19).
5.
Disconnect the governor spring from the
adjustment arm, and remove the choke cable.
(See Figure 19.)

6.
Pull the carburetor assembly down and away from
the engine such that the air vane governor clears
the hole in the shroud mounting base.
Disassembly
1.
NOTE: The exterior of the carburetor should be
cleaned before removal from the machine. If this
has not been done, clean the outside before
disassembly. At the throat of the carburetor, using
needle nose pliers, gently pull the throttle plate out
of the throttle shaft. (See Figure 20.) Notice the
orientation of the small protrusions on the throttle
plate as you pull it out.
