Why is your carburetor blowing air?

If the carb is blowing air OUT instead of sucking air in then you possibly have a bad intake valve. As the piston comes up then the air is forced out the intake valve and back thru the carb.

Another possibility is that the timing chain or timing belt is broken and then the piston again is pushing the air out the intake valve.

The definitive test would be to run a compression test.

What else can I help you with?

Most common problem is a dirty/clogged fuel filter restricting a good flow of fuel to the engine. Otherwise, the carburetor needs adjustment. Or, if the engine is blowing black smoke before it dies, check the spark plug and the air filter, or a too rich mixture from the carburetor.
