19.3 Pressure testing of the
carburettor
Pressure testing should be carried out with the carburet-
tor fully assembled. Testing should always be carried out
after the carburettor has been repaired, but a test can
also be made for troubleshooting before dismantling.
Option 1
Study figure 3 and carry out the check as follows:
1. Connect the pressure tester to the carburettor fuel
inlet.
2. Submerge the carburettor into a container with
water.
3. Pump up the pressure to 20 kPa.
4. No leakage is permitted. If a leakage occurs refer to
the table below.
Option 2
1. Plug the connections to the fuel inlet.
2. Create a vacuum to the purge nipple on the
carburettor. No leakage is permitted. In the case of
leakage, leakage spray can be used even if it is
difficult. Try and identify where the spray is absorbed.
It can be used to show leakages in main jets, idling
needles, measuring cover gaskets and measuring
diaphragms, and autotune gaskets.
