My local auto shop was offering a bonus free offer and gave me a can of carby cleaner when I bought the contact cleaner spray to tidy up my fuse box and other connections.
I had no intention of using it in the short term, dismantling the carb is a long way from where I'm at. Then I recalled from some old Mini nuts that some benefit can be had by spraying in the cleaner into a mounted carb.
Seeing as I've got the freebie can, I was wondering if anyone could suggest where I might be able to spray it. Kind of in a 'probably won't do much but can't hurt' approach (hopefully)
I've had a read of Chris's awesome carb thread, but my carb looks slightly different. Argh!
I assume the red circled screw opens up to the fuel bowl and float - it looks a bit like it's leaking through the top screw?
Just wanting to get some running through as many spots as possible, and keen to remove any small pieces possible without having to take off the whole unit.
Then I'll give it a tune, playing with the mixture and idle.
Many thanks :worship:
