buretor to rust very rapidly. Repaint if neces-
sary.
Carburetor body and jets should be cleaned with
a carburetor cleaner. Follow manufacturer's in-
structions.
WARNING
Solvent with a low flash point such as gaso-
line, naphtha, benzol, etc., should not be used
as they are flammable and explosive.
