I have a 2A engine and have it tuned up every 6 months minsan 8 months.

I think same rin sa iba.

Don't let mechanics open and dismantle the carburetor if it is working properly. A carburetor cleaner spray will do. Have the fuel filter checked then the air filter cleaned using compressed air during oil change interval. Use a premium type of spark plugs such as platinum tip for longer life.

Iyong carburator ay kailangan lang i adjust ang tamang air fuel mixture para maging maganda ang sunog nito . Malalaman mo iyan sa sunog ng spark plug kung ma carbon na maitim ibig sabihin hindi maganda and sunog ng gasolina at naaaksaya . Hindi lahat ng mekaniko marunong sa carburator . Kung kailagan mo ng magooverhaul ng carburator mo sa M2M carburator specialist sa Kamuning sa Harap mo lilinisin kakalasin at ikakabit at itatama ang air fuel mixture.

let's see...
assuming everything else is in order, this is how i remember doing it, 20 years ago:
engine is warmed up. (idle-up circuit is temporarily cut off, or aircon is off.)
i adjust the idling screw to get at the proper idling rpm. it helps if the car has a tachometer. otherwise, i'd just "play it by ear" if i can't get a tach. (playing it by ear takes a lot of experience, practice, and luck.)
then, i screw in the richness screw until the engine is about to die. i then reverse my turn by about 1/8 or 1/4 turn.
ok na.
don't forget to reconnect the idle-up circuit.
hey, don't try to open the carburator if you don't know how. a small steel ball is likely to drop out and disappear the moment you open it.
also, i always write down the settings before i tinker with it. and i always note what i did. that way, i can always put the settings back the way i got them, in case i can't quite get it right.
but you know, if my car is running well, doing efficient fuel management, and there is no sign of malfunction, i might not think of tinkering with my carb at all.
