- Cleaning
- Disconnect your accelerator pump linkage and pull the cover off.
- Replace gaskets. To save a gasket you want to move laterally on it. (Using that motion instead of lifting straight off would save the gasket.)
- You will want to remove any gunk at the bottom of the carburetor for it to work properly.
- Flip the carburetor over and check the main jet screws, that will give you access to the main jets.
- If you have a car that runs slowly on highway speeds but stumbles at higher speeds, these guys are plugged. Pull them off.
- Replace the tiny washers on each of these plugs or you will have a fuel drip and you’ll have to smell that all the time when you’re driving the car.
- Use a wire brush and carburetor cleaner to clean all your parts.
- Be sure to wear a mask suitable for chemicals. It’s important to dry these parts as well. An air hose makes this easy.
