what perfume can challenge gear oil smell? Gear oil smells like dead dinosaurs

Mine was very less amount spilt under drivers seat. So it worked.

The idea was to mix fragrance oil with gear oil affected areas in such amount to eliminate nasty smell.

I agree with you, in my other car trunk, gear oil half bottle leaked. I had to replace full carpet and clean rest items multiple times. Even then it stinks little bit.

@daniyalahmad what you are referring to as Namda is actually not called Namda, rather it is a bitumen layer. Namda is placed above it, the one made of old cotton type thing.
Taking oil out of carpet and Namda is very difficult. Better try to find a new one.

Thanks for the correction!
The carpet is all done. Clean with no odor of gear oil. The namda is in a much better state with only its edges smelling like gear oil, rest its almost clean and odorless.
I can get new insulation sheet (namda) and carpet but without the clean floor, they'll be ruined as well. :\

Bitumen dissolves quickly in kerosene, so don't use kerosene on it; only water and detergent.

Point noted!
But will using detergent remove the gear oil in the bitumen layer?
Should I try hot water along with detergent if it won't damage the bitumen layer?

sorry to be the bearer of bad news - but there is no way to get rid of the gear oil smell unless you want to scrape away the bitumen layer. Gear oil is the worst smelling stuff on earth.

Ookay!
So what if I scrape off the bitumen layer?
I have heard that it can be re-done, however I really DON'T want to scrape it off as my floors and in a perfect condition, so any other option, by which I can make the situation better, If not completely perfect?

@daniyalahmed
A non professional approach that I used for same scenario was to get non alcoholic 30 ml perfume spray with 50% fragrance oil for 400rs. I kept spraying few times a day on infected areas of carpet. Within two three days, the smell was gone.

Hmmm...
In my case the area is quite large.
I think I did the stupid thing of using the Kerosine Oil which thinned the oil and made it to seep through the bitumen layer, thus evenly spreading it in every nook and corner.
Anyways I'll keep your suggestion in mind while working on it.

I have the pieces of insulation placed in my room, which have been cleaned but still my room is smelling like.....

how about odour eliminator? we have that available locally, the one by meguiars

The area affected is quite large.
The first thing I'm trying to do is to throw out as much oil as possible, then the odor treatment will come into the equation. I won't be reluctant to try anything to remove this mess from my car.

[margallar]

i think this area can easily be covered using less than one spray bottle of odour eliminator. the problem is that will it kill the oil smell

[Xulfiqar]

odour elminator wont work for gear oil.

[shaidbokhari]

its the intake manifold.. one port of the intake vacuum filter is for ac idle up and other for the electrical load idle up

Means we need to connect 2 svs for both idleups? one for ac nd one for alternator?
Another thng. Alternator load v pod hae a L shaped rod attached to it which moves with suction. But there is nothing attached to rod. Seems like something is missing.

connect what you call daspot 1 (choke breaker) to nozzle 3
in pic 2 the hot idle compensator (rectangular thing on top back of the carb) is connected incorrectly to the distributor advance port connect it to your nozzle 4
in pic 2 the right vacuum pot (dashpot) should be connect to the vacant nozzle (as you say)

Attached all pipes as guided. Dashpot seems working now. Its pin is moving in at high rpm nd coming back at releasing accelerator.
When i pull chowk from cabin, car tries to accelerate in start but further pulling chowk makes engine stall. It was same before connecting chowk breaker pipes nd after chowk breaker pipes

adjust the choke cable correctly, with engine off and full choke pull the choke plate should just close, it will be opened up by the choke breaker as the engine starts, if you pull the choke fully while the engine idles - it will stall.

The dashpot should hold the rpm above idle for about a second or half a second then release fully to idle.

Means i should adjust the cable like that k when engine is off and choke is fully pulled, choke plate should close? or without pulling it plate shld close as it will b opened by choke breaker? a little clarification required.

choke cable fully pulled the choke plate should be in a position that it lets a small amount of air in. . if it closes fully the engine will stall

Ok. Will check and update as currently when little chowk pulled, it works but when full chowk pulled, it stalls

@syncview @Xulfiqar Thanks a lot for the helpful advice you guys wrote. Both of you have laid emphasis on having a perfect ignition system before fiddling with the screw but our mechanics don't bother to do this so is there any harm in it?
What do i need to check ignition timing and vacuum leak? Isn't there any workshop in Lahore that can check all this and dismantle the carb and clean it properly?

EDIT: Khyber has manual choke.

@xulfiqar @syncview
Today, I opened up the carburetor of my ride, to show our fellow members and get a diagnosis for the problem I am facing for the past few days.. i.e. Car is not idling...

In one pic it shows the fuel level in the bowl
Other pics show the top hat of the carb
In the top hat float valve, idle passages and power valve is visible

@smijaz You should have classes on weekends for newbies like me; i would never miss a class :D. I hope your idle issue gets solved soon.

@shaidbokhari
My car dashpot pin moves in at idle and moves out at high rpms. I think you made mistake in connection.

As you leave foot off the accelerator in engine on, the throttle lever hits dashpot pin and then pin contacts slowly(if slow release valve is working fine) and lets the rpm drop slowly.

Just flip the valve in the middle of the vacuum line. Problem will be solved...

[DUDE007]

Guys i need to get a new fuel filter for my khyber......the second pic is one a friend bought for his Mehran for 100rupees. Will the same one fit in Khyber? Are there copies/fakes of Leppon products in the market?
@smijaz @axe.effect Seeing your discussion about pcv valve i cleaned it too with carb cleaner. It allows air to pass with a restricted flow in only one direction. It also rattles on shaking. The following is a pic for reference as i couldn't find it in the thread. @margallar this is the pcv valve.

[DUDE007]

I edited the post to replace fuel filter pic with a rotated pic but i can see both....strange.
