New Delhi. The carburetor of a bicycle is a very important part of the engine that mixes fuel and air in the correct ratio and supplies it to the engine. This part has a big impact on the performance and mileage of the bike. However, many new motorcycles today are equipped with injection engines that do not have a carburetor system. But there are still millions of old bikes in India that rely on this system.

Mechanics often recommend cleaning the carburetor during bike maintenance. However, if your bike runs smoothly, cleaning the carburetor is not always necessary. Opening the carburetor repeatedly can cause many problems. Tell us under what circumstances the carburetor should be opened.

Disadvantages of repeatedly opening the carburetor
The structure of the carburettor is very complex and it is not easy to adjust it correctly after opening it. The factory seal becomes weak once opened, increasing the risk of fuel and air leaks. This can reduce the mileage of the bike and also affect the performance of the engine.

If the mechanic does not adjust the carburetor fuel mixture correctly, the bike may stop mid-ride. Not only is this harmful to the bike’s engine, but it can also pose a risk to your safety on the road.

When should the carburettor be cleaned?
A carburettor cleaning should only be carried out if the need is clearly evident. For example, if the engine has trouble starting, it could be a sign that dirt has accumulated in the carburetor. Additionally, if fuel is leaking, this can be resolved by disassembling the carburetor. Even if there is a suspicion that a part is broken, it can be repaired by opening it.

Only open the bike’s carburetor if there is a real problem. Otherwise, repeated opening will not only affect performance but may also shorten lifespan.
