NOTE: If idle air bleed valve is not removed on E4ME/E4MC model carburetors, clean air horn in a low-volatile solvent only. DO NOT place in carburetor cleaner. Damage to "O" rings on idle air bleed valve will result.
  • Use a regular carburetor cleaning solution. Soak components long enough to thoroughly clean all surfaces and passages of foreign matter.
  • Do not soak any components containing rubber, leather or plastic. Particularly do not soak air horn with bleed valve installed, electric choke, idle speed solenoid, idle speed control or idle load compensator, TPS, thermostatic choke cover and coil, vacuum break diaphragms, pump plunger and other such parts.
  • Remove any residue after cleaning by rinsing components in a suitable solvent.
  • Blow out all passages with dry compressed air.
