How to Unclog a Carburetor Jet
- 1). Pour an equal amount of water and cleaning solvent into a metal pot or container. Place the container over a hot plate or similar heat source and bring the solution almost to a boil.
- 2). Disassemble the carburetor and carefully remove the clogged jet from the carburetor.
- 3). Remove any rubber O-rings that may be attached to the jet and submerge the jet into the warmed carburetor cleaning solution. Allow the jet to soak for 10 minutes.
- 4). Remove the jet from the cleaning solution and rinse it thoroughly with clean water. Allow the jet to dry naturally.
- 5). Check that the jet has been cleared by blasting compressed air through the jet. If the jet is still clogged, pass a small, stiff wire through the jet and soak the jet for another 10 minutes.
- 6). Reinstall the jet into the carburetor and repeat as necessary.
