If you drive an older car, truck, classic vehicle, or small-engine vehicle, your engine may rely on a carburetor instead of modern fuel injection. Over time, carburetors can become clogged with fuel varnish, dirt, and carbon buildup. When that happens, the engine can start running rough, lose power, or even stall. At Romero’s Auto Repair in Ledgewood, NJ, we specialize in professional carburetor cleaning and adjustment to restore your engine’s performance and reliability.
We understand how important your vehicle is, especially if it’s a classic, collector’s car, or a daily driver you’ve cared for over the years. We provide service you can trust — with attention to detail, careful handling, and skilled cleaning methods.
Romero proudly serves drivers in Ledgewood, Roxbury, Succasunna, Netcong, Mount Arlington, Wharton, and surrounding Morris County areas.
The carburetor controls the mixture of air and fuel that enters your engine. When it works correctly, the engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
But when dirt and fuel deposits clog the carburetor’s jets, passages, or float system, the balance of air and fuel is disrupted.
This leads to noticeable performance problems.
If your carburetor is dirty or out of adjustment, you may notice:
Rough or unstable idle
Engine stalls at stoplights
Hard starting, especially when cold
Black smoke from exhaust (too much fuel)
Weak acceleration or hesitation
Poor fuel mileage
Engine flooding with fuel
Backfiring or sputtering
These symptoms often show up gradually — but they get worse over time. A proper cleaning and adjustment can restore smooth performance quickly.
At Romero’s Auto Repair, we take the careful, professional approach — not a rushed spray-clean that ignores the internal components.
Our process includes:
Inspection of the carburetor and fuel delivery system
Safe removal of the carburetor from the engine
Full disassembly to access internal components
Ultrasonic or solvent bath cleaning to remove varnish and carbon buildup
Jet, needle, and float cleaning or correction
Reassembly with precision adjustments
Reinstallation and fine-tuning for correct idle and throttle response
The result is smoother idle, stronger acceleration, and cleaner combustion.
