Stus-List Re: Atomic 4 Carburetor Cleaning

[Danny Haughey via CnC-List]

It's not very difficult, just 2 bolts and the fuel line if I'm not mistaken.  I had a viking 33 with the A4.  I kept a few carbs around.  One all cleaned up and ready to go, on board,  One installed and one would be the one I took off to clean again.  With gas the way it is now, it became a regular problem...  I just never wanted to be down due to that.  I was able to swap the carb in about 15 minutes after a while.

Hey folks!

Is there any good online guide to removing the carburetor from an Atomic 4 - especially in a CNC?

We have a CNC 34 (’78) and I have the sense I need to remove and clean the carburetor.

I see where it is according to the manual … and with my eyes … but it seems like a real challenge to reach in and pull it off with so little room to maneuver… or even see the screws easily.

I’m pretty new to engine maintenance. I’m not afraid to try … but I’d also like to note break things. I’ve got a friend who is a car mechanic that has an ultrasonic bath and can clean a carburetor just fine. So in my mind the main trick is removing and re-installing it properly.

Thanks for any insight!
