Mitox coughing and spluttering

[spudulike]

Anyone know the easiest way to strip down this kind of carb?

 

Yeah, give it to someone who knows what they are doing:lol:

 

In reality, just strip it down taking lots of pics with the phone and making close note of the order of the gaskets and diaphragms!

 

There should be a gauze strainer in there somewhere and that needs to be cleaned if dirty.

 

I would look at adjusting it first before stripping it, those carb screw drivers are available on ebay!

 

Not sure where you are but maybe one of the techs on this site are close by!

I'm confident enough to give it a go - gotta be easier than a twin choke weber

 

Just wondered if there where any hints and tips out there.......

Dead easy to strip it, just undo the 4 screws holding it together.

As Spud says, take pics so you know how to reassemble.

 

Clean the gauze, it will be blocked with filter felt, blow down every hole with carb cleaner, reassemble with new diaphragms and stick it back together. If it is as I suspect, ethanol damage to the filter, then it should run after refitting without the need to move the high speed screw very much.

 

It's about 10 minutes work start to finish.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

 

Thanks Gardenkit.

Thanks Gardenkit.

You can do it Rusty!!

 

I charge a lot of money to do this for those who can't or won't, but its really not rocket science. Give it a go, but do clean the carb and do fit new diaphragms. i never reassemble a carb with old bits, but its easy when you carry about 100 or so carb kits in stock! Its a bit more awkward when you have to source your spares first.
