Hi guys. I have been noticing that every second noob on the forum has a problem with their engine that could potentially be solved by a good old carb clean.

I thought that I would appeal to the greater DIYGK community to contribute to this potential sticky. What would be great is a tutorial type write up on the disassembling, cleaning and reassembling of the carb. The write up would also not be complete without detailed photos. A blow by blow account of what holes to poke out and what holes not to. Where to use compressed air etc.....

What would also be great if there are tutorials and photos on how to clean all of the most common carbs, like the HF Blue, Predator, Briggs, Honda GX and Tecumseh carbs.

It would be easier to point noobs in this direction if we ever tell the "Go clean your Carb!

I'll make a sticky for the Honda GX 270 and a cleaning of a slider carb. The one on my 150cc zongshen engine with 5 gears.
Should be up by the end of the week. :D

Thanks Alex. :thumbsup: :cheers2: We need as many types of carbs as we can get. Post it here in this thread when you are done, and I will rename the thread and sticky it when we get enough contributions
