Many so-called "Carburetor Symptoms" can also be caused other sources.
False Carburetor Symptoms
- Ignition not properly timed
- Distributor points are adjusted incorrectly or they are defective
- Spark plugs are defective, worn, or dirty
- Condenser is defective
- Ignition coil or high voltage coil wire is defective
- Valves are not properly adjusted or they have excessive carbon deposits
- Fuel line is clogged, dirty, or leaking
- Air filter is restricting flow causing carburetor to run rich
- So, don't be too quick to assume that the problem is the carburetor
- Try putting a "Known Good" carburetor on the engine and see how the symptoms are effected
