Removal of R tek Carburetor
1. Disconnect spark plu
wire. We stron
ly
recommend cleanin
the exterior of the carburetor
before removal from the machine. This reduces
the chance that dirt can
et into the carburetor and
will extend the life of the solvent in your cleanin
tank.
2. Remove fuel line and drain; remove the fuel tank.
On snowthrowers, it will be necessary to remove
the lower shroud to access the carburetor and fuel
line.
3. The carburetor is attached to the intake pipe by two
screws, which are screwed into two captured nuts.
The nuts are held in their pockets by a rubber band
durin
the manufacturin
process. If the rubber
band is no lon
er in place, smear some
eneral
purpose
rease on the nuts to prevent them from
fallin
out of the pockets. Remove the two screws
and discard the
asket. (See Fi
ure 18.)

has not been done, clean the outside before
disassembly. At the throat of the carburetor, usin
needle nose pliers,
ently pull the throttle plate out
of the throttle shaft. (See Fi
ure 20.) Notice the
orientation of the small protrusions on the throttle
plate as you pull it out.
