Repair.

(1) Carburetor maintenance should consist of regular cleaning. Some gasolines have a tendency toward

formation of gum deposits inside the carburetor which can usually be removed by soaking in acetone. A fine soft wire may

be used to clean jets.

(2) When adjusting the idle jet needle, the engine should be running at normal operating temperature and

without a load connected. Turn the idle adjusting needle in until the engine loses considerable speed. Then turn it out

until the engine runs smoothly. A hunting condition at no load can sometimes be corrected by an idle adjustment. (See

Figure 5-19.)
