 Posted: Wed Oct 17, 2012 3:07 pm Post subject: How to remove a Carburetor |
 |
|
I am trying to remove the carburetor from my CJ-6 Housai engine. There are four nuts at the top of the carb that hold it onto the engine. At least two of them (on the port side) are extremely difficult to reach due to the rest of the engine being in the way (cylinder, air intake tube, etc.) Can anyone give me any advice on how to reach these nuts? I am trying to remove as little of the engine as possible. Has anyone done this before? What else did you have to remove to gain access to the carburetor?
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
Maybe George or Dennis will check me on this. It is very easy to remove the "Y" exhaust stacks and the intake tube of the number 5 cylinder. Makes getting to the carburetor nuts possible. When the engine is normally assembled, the cylinders are put on and than the carb. After that, next is the intake tubes, than exhaust stacks. If you have the proper tools, this would only take :15 to :20 minutes at most. I hope my memory serves me right.

Pull the intake tubes on cylinders #5 & 6 then the access will much easier. The Housai should not be much different than the M-14. You will need to take the base plate for the air filter off of the throat of the carb so that a 12 inch socket extension can pass up the back of the sump between the cylinders easier that way.
