Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is carburettor tuning?

    Carburettor tuning involves adjusting the air-fuel mixture and idle speed to optimise engine performance. This process ensures efficient combustion, smoother idling, and better throttle response. Tuning may include changing jets, adjusting float levels, and fine-tuning screws. Regular tuning helps prevent engine issues. It’s especially important for older or high-performance vehicles with carburetted engines.

  • How do I know if my carburettor needs tuning?

    Signs your carburettor needs tuning include hard starts, rough idling, hesitation when accelerating or black smoke from the exhaust. You might also notice backfiring or sluggish throttle response. These issues often stem from incorrect air-fuel mixture, float level, or idle settings. Tuning helps restore the correct balance, improving performance and reducing wear on your engine.

  • What’s the difference between tuning and rebuilding a carburettor?

    Tuning involves adjusting existing components—like jets, floats, and idle screws—to improve performance. Rebuilding, however, means disassembling the carburettor, cleaning or replacing worn parts (such as gaskets, needles, or diaphragms), and restoring it to its original condition. Tuning is a maintenance or optimisation process while rebuilding is necessary when there’s internal damage or heavy wear.
