If the bike is running fine then do not get this work done even if the mechanic insists, once this part gets exposed it will become a headache.

New Delhi. Carburetor is an important part of the bike engine. This is because in this part of the bike, air mixes with fuel and goes inside the engine. If the carburettor does not work properly then the bike will face a lot of problems in running and the mileage will also be affected. Let us tell you that today’s new bikes are coming with fuel injected engines and do not have carburetor system, but even today lakhs of such old bikes are running which have carburetor system.

Often when people riding old bikes go for service, the bike mechanic advises them to open the carburettor and clean it. But the question arises that if the bike is running fine then why get the carburetor cleaned? There are many disadvantages of opening the carburetor unnecessarily. Let us know under what circumstances you should open the carburetor.

These problems arise after opening the carburetor
The carburettor of the bike is a very complicated part, once opened, it is not within the power of every mechanic to set it properly again. Actually, there is a sealing in the carburetor which is made by the company while manufacturing it. After opening the carburetor, this sealing becomes weak, which some mechanics are not able to set properly. Due to this, problems like fuel and air leakage start appearing in the engine. Due to which the mileage of a bike which is running well suddenly reduces.

Apart from this, if the mechanic does not set the fuel mixture of the carburettor properly then the bike starts stopping mid-way, which is not only good for the bike but can also put your life in danger on the road.

Open the carburettor only when these problems are seen.
Since the carburetor is a very complex part, opening it unnecessarily can damage it. You should open the carburetor only when the engine does not start due to accumulation of debris in it. Apart from this, even if there is fuel leakage, it can be repaired by opening the carburetor. Apart from this, if there is any suspicion of any defect inside the carburetor, it can be opened and repaired.
