What is the general lifespan of a carburetor?

[EllieAnn]

The lifespan of a carburetor is generally around 3 to 5 years. A carburetor is a mechanical device that mixes a certain proportion of gasoline with air under the vacuum created by the engine's operation. As a precision mechanical device, it utilizes the kinetic energy of the incoming air stream to atomize the gasoline. Here is additional information on symptoms of carburetor damage: 1. Unstable engine idle; 2. Difficulty or inability to start the vehicle, with the spark plug failing to ignite properly; 3. Black smoke from the exhaust pipe during rapid acceleration, affecting exhaust emissions. Methods to address carburetor damage include: 1. Replace with qualified float needle and needle seat assembly; 2. Repair using a float needle seat repair tool; 3. After processing, the top must be polished with a flannel cloth.
