Carburetor Maintenance is very important in order to keep your ATV running smoothly.
Everyone knows that every vehicle, including ATVs require fuel to run. The burning fuel fires the engine. The question is: How does the gas from the gas tank get to the engine? The answer is: the carburetor. A carburetor is the mechanism that forces the gasoline from the gas tank of an ATV to the engine.
ATVs travel on all terrains. Those include dusty deserts, rocky mountains, sappy forests, and muddy swamps. These can all cause your carburetor to fill with dirt. If your ATV has a dirty carburetor, that dirt may get forced into the fuel and later into the engine. Dirt in the engine will cause your ATV run poorly.
In order to keep your ATV's carburetor clean, once a year it should be taken apart, cleaned, and rebuilt. This is not a simple job. Only those individuals comfortable with taking apart a carburetor should complete this task. Most people need to take their ATV to a professional to have the carburetor cleaned. Although this may be expensive, it will save you money in the long run. Small to medium ATV investments in the present can prove to be worthwhile in the future.
All parts of an ATV are important to it's running condition. If one part fails, that affects the next one. Since the engine is the heart of a vehicle, it must be in tip-top shape. The carburetor is one of the most important parts of your ATV because it easily affects the engine. If the carburetor does not work correctly, your ATV will suffer. Caring for your ATV's carburetor is extremely important for the longevity of your vehicle. You can't have off-roading fun without a reliable ATV to ride.
