Maintenance of gasoline engines

Carburetor adjustment

Do not change the carburetor settings. Checking the level and adjusting the idle speed is carried out every 20,000 km of the vehicle or at least once a year.

Air filter element

Every 40,000 km (or more often if the vehicle is used in a very dusty area) the air filter element should be replaced.

Distributor

The ignition distributor does not require maintenance, except for periodic checks and adjustment of the ignition timing (in engines with the possibility of manual adjustment of this angle).

Spark plug

Spark plugs should be checked, cleaned, the gap between the electrodes adjusted, and replaced every 10,000 km of the car.

For unscrewing and screwing in the spark plugs, use only the appropriate ring wrench. The gap between the electrodes is regulated only by bending the side electrode.
