Rochester Carb cleaning
(1/1)
Mike81K10:
My carburetor I believe needs to be cleaned. It sat for so long and I believe it got gummed up and is not doing right. Do I need to buy a kit to take it apart and clean up the bowl and jets. Not very familiar with taking the carburetor apart!
Rapid Roy:
Probably needs a rebuild. If you are not familiar with rebuilding carbs, find someone that is. IMO!
JohnnyPopper:
You can fill the bowl at the forward vent with carb cleaner as you feather the throttle without choking it.
It will pull through all the passages and de-gunk the carb. If that doesn't help than a deeper dive may be in order.
I would use half a can myself if it sat that long.

Thanks for the info! That is what I was interested in knowing.
