[QUOTE="thill, post: 462303, member: 4972"] Believe it or not, carbs are pretty simple, IF you have someone show you how they work. Older motors have carbs with external adjustment knobs. So let's say you get a glob of stuff in the carb, and it won't idle. Open up the mixture knob to get it started, rev it up and cover the carb throat with a rag, and engine vacuum sucks the glob through. Turn the knob back in and go on about your business. Of course, you may have to clean them on occasion, especially if you use ethanol fuel. But get a glob of stuff in a fuel injector, and see how much THAT is going to cost you. $$$$! But that doesn't stop me from wanting a new motor. Decisions, decisions... [/QUOTE]
