Next, remove the bowl drain screw and check the Carburetor float. These have a tendency to wear out and it may need to be replaced. Generally, you'll rarely need to take out the carburetor's float unless something has broken within your carburetor. If you do, check your service manual as there are tons of small bits and pieces that may need to be cleaned or replaced.

The carburetor contains many small jets, typically made of brass that also will need to be cleaned thoroughly. Any part with a small hole in it is usually dubbed as these and, depending on the model of your carburetor, there can be 2, 3 or 4 of them. If the tops of these parts have a hex shape, they're screwed into your carb and will need to be unscrewed in order to be cleaned.

Trowbridge said Honda, Fuji Abundant Industries' Subaru unit, and Mazda will add an estimated "few hundred thousand vehicles" to the massive anamnesis campaigns based on added inflator testing and that others may as well.

The broadcast recalls cover the 2005-2008 Mazda6, 2002-2004 Honda CR-V and 2005-2008 Subaru Legacy and Outback.

 If the top is round, the jet is pressed in and will usually have a small leaf spring keeping it in place. If you're rebuilding the carb, many kits will come with replacements for these, which will allow you to throw the old ones away and skip the pain of having to clean the old ones. Soak the jets in carb cleaner to break down most of the grime that builds up on them.

 You'll also need to make sure that the tiny holes are clear of anything. Try looking through the hole to see if you can get a clear view through it. If you can, the Valve seat is clear and you'll only need to get any residue build off of the rim of the hole.
