Hi everyone…plse help me am looking for a carburator 2e manual,am based in zambia…kindly send me where I can access the item…will appreciate
hi im here in dubai so many carburator here new but made in china and used from japan
does anyone know if the AC/Heater parts for this engine are the same as the newer model 4E engine?
Has anyone encountered water seeping into the fuel mixture? Fouling the engine performance. There is water by-pass hose to the carburetor, with the water/coolant entering through the intake manifold. Can this be eliminated?
I think it’s to warm the carb body in cold temps. One day, I’m going to disconnect it.
Do wet problem of Spark Plug connected with carburetor? how could wet of spark plug with fuel could be fixed?
or headgasket. Look inside through sparkplug hole which cylinders have water
