It's not rocket science how an ATV works. Everyone knows that every vehicle, including ATVs require fuel to run. The burning fuel fires the engine. If you're wondering how the gas from the gas tank gets to the engine that is the job of the carburetor. A carburetor is the device that forces the gasoline from the gas tank of an ATV to the engine.
ATVs travel on all types of terrain. Frequent riding of your ATV will mean your carburetor come in contact with and sometimes fill with dirt. If your ATV has a dirty carburetor, that dirt may get forced into the fuel and later into the engine. Dirt in the engine will cause your ATV run poorly and you won't get a full life out of your investment in your recreational ride.
In order to keep your ATV's carburetor clean, once a year it should be taken apart, cleaned, and rebuilt. This is not a simple job. Only those individuals comfortable with taking apart a carburetor should complete this task. Most people need to take their ATV to a professional to have the carburetor cleaned. Although this may be expensive, it will save you money in the long run. Spending a small amount on some preventative maintenance now will save you a lot of headaches and the price of a purchasing a new carburetor in the future.
The engine is the heart of a vehicle; it must be in tip-top shape. Keeping your ATV maintained and the carburetor clean will extend the life of your ATV and insure you always have a reliable ATV to take you on the trails you want to explore.
