5. CLEANING AND INSPECTION
A. CLEANING
1. Soak all castings and metal parts,
except the dashpot assembly and nozzle bars, in
a cleaning solution until all foreign deposits are
loosened. If a commercial cleaning solvent is not
available, lacquer thinner or denatured alcohol
may be used. Place the parts to be cleaned in a
metal basket suspended in the solution and agitate.
Avoid lowering the basket into the sediment which
collects in the bottom of the container. After the
parts have soaked sufficiently, they are to be
rinsed in hot water to remove all traces of the
cleaning solution. Scrub away all remaining for

2. Parts and castings should be thor

air should also be directed through all passages
in the castings and through the jets and nozzle

CAUTION
Carburetor jets and passages should never
be cleaned with a wire, a drill, or similar
abrasive objects. This method of cleaning
may distort the jets and passages and greatly
