The first thing that you'll want to remove from Carburetor needle valve zautoparts.net is the float bowl. In order to do this, unscrew the four screws holding it on and set them aside in a safe place. Give the bowl a good tap with the end of your screw driver until it drops off or you can lift it off.
You may find that it will stick depending on how dirty the inside of the carb is. Once it's off, you'll be able to get a good look at how much gunk has built up inside your carb and size up how much elbow grease and carb cleaner you're going to need.
Next, remove the bowl drain screw and check the washer. These have a tendency to wear out and it may need to be replaced. Generally, you'll rarely need to take out the carburetor's float unless something has broken within your carburetor. If you do, check your service manual as there are tons of small bits and pieces that may need to be cleaned or replaced.
The carburetor contains many small jets, typically made of brass that also will need to be cleaned thoroughly. Any part with a small hole in it is usually dubbed as these and, depending on the model of your carburetor, there can be 2, 3 or 4 of them.
If the tops of these parts have a hex shape, they're screwed into your carb and will need to be unscrewed in order to be cleaned. If the top is round, the jet is pressed in and will usually have a small leaf spring keeping it in place. If you're rebuilding the carb, many kits will come with replacements for these, which will allow you to throw the old ones away and skip the pain of having to clean the old ones.
Soak the jets in carb cleaner to break down most of the grime that builds up on them. You'll also need to make sure that the tiny holes are clear of anything. Try looking through the hole to see if you can get a clear view through it. If you can, the jet is clear and you'll only need to get any residue build off of the rim of the hole.
If you can't see through it, there are a number of things that you can do into order to clear it up. First, do the simplest thing: soak it in carb cleaner. Often times, this will be enough to knock free any gunk. If this still doesn't work, try using an air compressor hose to blast the gunk out.
