How to Rebuild the EMPI in a Carburetor

The carburetor on a vehicle is used for the internal combustion inside the engine. This works by mixing the fuel with air to create the combustion that propels the engine while driving. A European Motor Parts Incorporated carburetor kit allows you to replace any worn or leaking parts in your carb. These kits can be used with everything from a VW Beetle to a 78 Chevy. If you would like to rebuild your carburetor with an EMPI kit, you can do it with little hassle. You dont have to be an auto mechanic to rebuild your carburetor; you can do it yourself even if you have minimal knowledge of the task.

Instructions

    1

    Buy an EMPI carburetor kit. This can be found at local auto parts stores or through an online outlet. EMPI kits come with all of the rubber seals and gaskets that you need to rebuild your carb.

    2

    Put on safety glasses and gloves to keep grease and dirt off of your hands and out of your eyes. Remove the carburetor from your vehicle. Consult your service manual if you do not know how to remove the unit, as the process can vary from car to car.

    3

    Look over the diagram that came with your EMPI kit. This diagram will vary depending on the carburetor kit specific to your vehicle. Use a ratchet to remove the accelerator pump from your carburetor. Remove the cover from your carb and then remove the choke linkages as well. All of these parts are labeled on the diagram that comes with your EMPI kit.

    4

    Use a stiff-bristled toothbrush and cleaner to remove all debris from the parts on your carburetor. Use the EMPI kit diagram to replace the broken parts on your carb. Put the carburetor back together and then reinstall the carburetor in your car.
