Quite often it happens that at a normal level of fuel in the float chamber, the car engine does not want to start or stalls at low speeds. This suggests that cleaning the carburetor is mandatory, and only it will help to remove unnecessary blockages and resume proper engine operation. In our country, this is quite a frequent occurrence, since our quality of gasoline is still very far from the European level.
Since the invention of the carburetor, there has been much debate about how to clean the carburetor. Russian ingenuity, of course, knows no boundaries, but nevertheless, several fixed assets and methods should be singled out. Most of the recommendations come down to removing the carburetor and completely soaking in gasoline or acetone, but there are those who argue that a simple purge of the nozzles with compressed air will be sufficient. It should be noted that without experience and knowledge, self-cleaning of the carburetor can lead to even more dire consequences. Therefore, if this happened to you for the first time, it is better to contact specialists.
How to rinse the carburetor, we already found out earlier, now we will move on to the process of disassembly and cleaning. There can be many reasons for a breakdown or malfunction of the device, but any action begins with the removal of the float cover
cameras. The most common sign of clogged carburetor jets is an instantaneous engine shutdown at low revs. An emulsion nozzle is responsible for this, cleaning of which begins with the following actions:
1) Remove the air filter housing.
2) Unscrew the nozzle.
3) If tarry blockages are visible on the nozzle, then carburetor cleaning is mandatory.
4) Having taken a wooden stick with a pointed end, it must be moistened with acetone and the carburetor should be cleaned of tar in the most inaccessible places.
5) At the end, it is recommended to blow all the elements with compressed air in order to get rid of the specks.
It is important to remember that cleaning any carburetor of any brand will not tolerate the use of metal objects. The carburetor's inner coating is very sensitive to any damage, even to the slightest scratch. Also, be sure to exclude cleaning with the help of fleecy fabrics, since even a small number of villi can again clog the jets, and all your work will be considered done in vain.
There are times when cleaning the carburetor does not help, and the engine also does not want to start, the reason for this can be a long downtime. A worn diaphragm simply does not fulfill its functions, and such a problem is only solved by replacing broken elements.
It is worth mentioning the danger of one of the "grandfather's methods" of cleaning. When the connection of the second and third candles is interchanged, thus shooting at the carburetor. This method, of course, is faster, you do not need to spend time disassembling the carburetor and the positive effect is immediately visible, although it does not persist for a long time. Proponents of this technique forget that everything that they shot from the jets still remains inside the carburetor and does not disappear anywhere, and it is quite possible that after a short trip, cleaning the carburetor will again be necessary.
