| Have you been searching for a solution as to why your vehicle gets poor gas mileage? It could be the carburetor. An improper air-to-fuel mixture results in bad performance and higher gas consumption. | ||
| Steps: | ||
| 1. | Determine if your car has a carburetor by checking your owners manual. HOW ELSE? BY LOOKING BELOW THE AIR FILTER? ARE THERE YEARS OF MODELS? | |
| 2. | Be sure the engine is shut off, then open the hood. | |
| 3. | Remove the air filter by first unscrewing the wing nut on top. No need to disconnect any hoses connected to the air filter - just carefully set it aside. | |
| 4. | The carburetor is the part that the air filter was screwed into. The air/fuel mixture is adjusted by two screws. Typically, these screws can be found on the lower-front section of the carburetor. | |
| 5. | Using a flat-head screw driver, turn both screws to the right until they are tight. | |
| 6. | Loosen each screw, one at a time, 2 1/2 turns out. | |
| 7. | Replace the air filter assembly and start the car. | |
| 8. | Adjust idle accordingly. ????? | |
