Disassembly and rebuilding the carburetor
1. Clamp off the fuel line to prevent fuel spillage and
remove it.
2. Remove the carburetor by following the steps
described in Chapter 3: Air Intake and Filter.
NOTE: There is a corresponding passage recessed
into the mating surface where the throttle end of the
carburetor housing meets the gasket. See Figure
4.19.
3. Remove the bowl bolt using a 10mm wrench. See
Figure 4.20.
NOTE: From this point an assessment can be made
about the viability of rebuilding the carbure-
tor.
• If extensive corrosion is evident, replace the
carburetor.
• If varnish build-up is too extensive to clean,
replace the carburetor.
4. Remove the pin that the float hinges on to remove
the float. See Figure 4.21.
