Carburetor Cleaning and Adjustment

Carburetor cleaning and adjustment are crucial steps in maintaining the performance and efficiency of your small engine. A dirty or poorly adjusted carburetor can lead to hard starting, rough idling, and decreased fuel economy. In this section, we'll walk through the process of cleaning and adjusting your carburetor, empowering you to keep your lawnmower or snow blower running smoothly.

To begin, you'll need to remove the carburetor from your engine, following the manufacturer's instructions. Once removed, disassemble the carburetor carefully, taking note of how each part fits together. Clean all components thoroughly using a carburetor cleaner spray, paying special attention to the small jets and passages where debris often accumulates. Reassemble the carburetor, ensuring all gaskets and O-rings are in good condition and properly seated.
