CARBURETOR CLEANLINESS

The correct functioning of the carburetor depends on
its small fuel orifices remaining clear.
The minute particles of foreign matter that are present
in any fuel can easily partially obstruct these orifices
and upset mixture strength so that engine
performance becomes erratic and unreliable.
It is recommended that fuel is passed through a filter
when the tank is filled and that a good in-line filter is
installed between the fuel tank and carburetor and,
furthermore, that this filter is frequently cleaned to
remove dirt and lint that accumulates on the filter
screen.
Finally, occasionally remove the needle-valve holder
from the carburetor as shown in Photo and extract
any remaining foreign matter that may have lodged in
the location shown in Photo, right.

Remove this with
an 8mm wrench

Dirt and fbrous matter
mostly accumulate here
