The carburetor is the heart of your engine. Without it, nothing can function properly. In the Tomahawk 5 Gallon Gas Power Backpack Sprayer, the carburetor is located between the air filter and the engine housing.
The carburetor sustains the perfect air to fuel ratio to keep the engine running smoothly. If the engine keeps bogging down and adjusting the carburetor does not seem to fix the issue, you will need to replace the old carburetor with a new one.
