Carbs, you know how to eat them, but do u know how to clean them?

Maintenance is key to maintaining your vehicle's performance, that;s why the chore itself is caled Maintenance. A no brainer, right?



So my adventures on a go kart have brought me to write this little article, in easy to understand point form, no less.

1) Purchase a can of carburator cleaner
2) Spray crab cleaner into the carb while the engine is running, and at the same time step on the accelerator pedal slightly.
3) You may have to remove the float under the carb.
4) If you have used a fuel additive or fuel stabilizer, it may have left a deposit in your carb.
5) Other than that, you can also spray carb cleaner on the needles which you use t adjust the fuel /air mix.
6) It may be neccessary to let the needle and also the carb itself soak in cleaner. If you do remove the carb, remember not to touch anything else but the bolts that attach it to the engine and filter.
7) It is also a good idea to use an air compressor to blow out whatever is left inside the carb.
