How to Clean the Carb on a Small Gas Engine
- 1). Squeeze the clamp holding the gas hose to the side of the carb. The gas hose connects to the base of the gas tank and side of the carb. Slide the clamp down the gas hose several inches. Pull the hose off the side of the carb and direct it into the bucket to catch any gas.
- 2). Spray the carb cleaner into the side of the carb for 15 seconds. Reattach the hose to the side of the carb and clamp it into place.
- 3). Unscrew the bolt form the base of the carb that holds the carb fuel bowl in place. Use the proper size wrench to remove the bolt.
- 4). Poor the dirty gas into the fuel bowl into the bucket. Spray carb cleaner into the fuel bowl and above the fuel bowl where the float is attached.
- 5). Bolt the fuel bowl back into place.
