Over time, carbon from burning your fuel mixture can accumulate in your head.

Signs you need to decarbonate your engine?

  • Engine keeps running on after turn it off.

How to decarbonise your engine

The easy way

Using a mister, spray some water into your carby while running the engine, until no more carbon comes out of your exhaust.

Be careful not to let your engine die during this process.

The hard way

Take your head apart, and clean it.

Until someone writes a guide specific to a Corolla engine, refer to http://www.elsham.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cx500/decoke/. This page refers to a motorbike engine, but the theory should be the same.
