1 A complete strip-down of a carburettor is unlikely to cure a fault which is not immediately obvious without introducing new problems. If persistent carburation problems are encountered, it is recommended that the advice of a Ford dealer or carburettor specialist is sought.

2 If it is decided to go ahead and service a carburettor, check the cost and availability of spare parts before commencement. Obtain a carburettor repair kit, which will contain the necessary gaskets, diaphragms and other renewable items.

3 When working on carburettors, scrupulous cleanliness must be observed and care must be taken not to introduce any foreign matter into components. Carburettors are delicate instruments and care should be taken not to disturb any components unnecessarily.

4 Referring to the relevent exploded view of the carburettor (see illustrations), remove each component part whilst making a note of its fitted position. Make alignment marks on linkages etc.

5 Reassemble the carburettor in the reverse order to dismantling, using new gaskets, Orings etc. Be careful not to kink any diaphragms.
