She should know that on an older car the carburetta could be a vacuum carburetta or have a centrifuge. Doesn't the woman know anything?
If it is a centrifuge one, then dismantle it, and clean up the needle, and put it back together, simples.

"OK," the husband said. "I'll go take a look. Where is it?"
"In the lake."
