We are finding mass abuse, nothing is being done until trouble starts, or when prob­ lems are pointed out by Another says, with regard to preventive maintenance, "We find many customers are only repairing what has to be repaired and not any more." Hesitation on acceleration , or surging when you are driv­ ing ataconstant speed are two eanv warning signs that your car s carburetor may need mot often when car ownjp fid to have fuel filters re­ placed or when they buy sub­ standard fuel, can cause clogging of carburetor jets andultimale failure. Another area of trouble is the needle valve and seat which, when sticking or oth­ erwise leaking, can permit excessive fuel to enter the car­ buretor float chamber. The action is similar to the shut-off valve connected to the float in a toilet tank: when it fails to shut off, the water keeps on running. In the case of a carburetor, the Aid con­ tinues to run into'the car­ buretor, causing excessively rich mixture and possibly flooding A symptom not unlike the one mentioned above can come from a sticking choke or dirty air filter, when the choke fails to open, an exces­ sively rich mixture of fuel gets into the engine.

It* a sign thst the fuel filter may be dogged with dirt and preventing fuel from reaching the carburetor. Preventive maintenance of the fud system is critical, says Car Care Council. Dirt in the carburetor, a condition found choke fails to dose, which is part of the action required for cold starts, the car will be dif­ ficult or impossible to get started or warm up poorly. Ifexcessive pumping of the accelerator is needed to start the car. a worn accelerator pump could also be suspect. According to Car Care Coundl, most carburetor difficulties can be corrected with the installation of a basic repair kit if not by a simple adjustment. What's also im­ portant to remember is the carburetor air filter which should be replaced as part of every tune-up.
