7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your engine and carburetor.

  • Air Filter: Regularly inspect and clean or replace the air filter (provided in kit) to prevent dirt from entering the carburetor and engine.

This typically involves disassembling, cleaning jets and passages with carburetor cleaner, and reassembling with new gaskets. This procedure should only be performed by individuals with appropriate mechanical knowledge.
