If vehicle is used regularly, the carburettor should not require a complete servicde unless it is not functioning correctly.


Any carburettor cleaner should be good enough. An aerosol can type is required to clean the barrel but the internals requires the cleaner to be added to the fuel.

Try some fuel cleaner for adding into the fuel tank and retest.
