If the carb is 15 years old, I would not bother to rebuild. Throttle shaft probably worn away the carb body and the air leaks this creates can not be resolved with tuning.

Purchase a new carb, install with all new fuel line and vacuum hoses.

Carburetor?

Good luck with that.

In case, you find one: Ask to pin it!

But before you let 'this one' start cleaning the carb:

Ask, if he has a timing light. If not, don't expect more as a cleaning job plus a readjustment by ear!

I guess, you know the rules:

1. Valves

2. Carb

3. ignition timing

And don't forget: the Vacuum system for Carb cars is a book of seven seals.

You can expect part of the problem their

I suggest taking the car to Khun Daychaa. He specialises in repairing older cars---he only repairs cars with carburettors, no fuel injection etc. He is competent, reliable and remarkably reasonable. He does not speak English however, so unless your Thai is good take a Thai friend with you. PM me for his phone number. To get to his shop these are the directions. Drive out of the city on highway 1006, towards Sankhampaeng. Cross the Superhighway. Drive a bit less than 1km. On your RHS you will see a large shop on a corner which usually has forklift trucks, golf buggies etc outside (and parts from wrecked cars inside). Turn right immediately after this shop. Drive about 100m and his shop is on the right---it looks like a house, but if you look in through the front gate you will see lots of cars being repaired. Hope this is helpful.

Khun Daychar is seldom around between 12:00-14:30 so avoid going during those hours. Indeed he is extremely competent and a very nice older man. It usually takes a couple of days to get the car back as he does not do rush jobs and is what I would say, semi-retired.

Does it have a mixture adjustment screw ?

It might not be visible cos later stuff (perhaps yours) are adjusted at factory then a plastic plug (or other) conceals it so you cannot tamper with it. Remove the plug (or dig it out) then usually turn it a little clockwise to lean it out.

First things 1st.

Have you changed the air filter or spark plugs? An old air filter will cause HIGH fuel consumption ... bit like running with choke ON ... check that too as early Honda's have a manual choke.
