The carburetter float chamber can be cleared of the v stale gas, if,it is not already dry, by holding down the float until the fresh petrol from the vacuum- tank runs Into it. Carburetters are equipped with a tickler, Or plunger, so • that the motorist can empty and refill > the carburretter float chamber with little effort. On some carburretters, however, there is a little dome cap over the tickler which must be unscrewed first. It is simply a protective cap.
