Having a working carburetor is extremely important. Establish a vacuum to enable it to work correctly. When you are cleaning it, be sure to clean it thoroughly. If your carburetor has never been used before, make sure you have an air source. If possible, test the throttle linkage. This will come in handy when trying the operation of the refurbished outboard carburetors after cleaning and rebuilding them.

Ensure you remove the air filters and thoroughly clean them. Next, remove all air passage covers that are screwed on and were not removable while the carburetor was still on your engine.
