Changing and/or cleaning the air filter is one of the best do-it-yourself maintenance items that will keep your carburetor running smoothly. A clean air filter will ensure air flow will not be restricted and dirt will not be pulled into the carburetor, which could ruin the motor.

 You can spray carburetor cleaner on the outside of the casing to keep linkages from gathering dirt and hindering performance. For dirt bikes another do-it-yourself item includes changing out jets to accommodate different conditions. A service manual will have jetting specifications.
