Cool back track

I bought a used quad with a new carb but i think the carb was tuned for different quad. The mechanic must not have thouggt about that before installing it and not running it. It would idle but cut out at high revs.

Doing my RG 500. Came across this. First thing I thought was, Young Schumacher doing carbs 🤣

Thank you, gave me the confidence to give it a try on my 4 inline carb, removed it all and followed it to clean the pilot. Bike started and held idle fine, so happy!!!

Perfect, many thanks. Brief videos are great, nothing worse than listening to someone rattling on just to make content.

Help me my cbr 600 f4 carbs are fulling but the bike not starring

I have a knee series carburetor with a 38 pilot jet and I cannot see through it. Should I be able to see light clear through or does this jet use the orifices on the sides?

Good advice

I wish I could have you work on my ke100. Haven’t riden it in over a decade and rebuilt it and still nothing.

currently cleaning mine on my 2000 Bandit 1216. 164k and counting.. second set of carbs though!

🤩🇺🇸👍⚖️👁️👁️⚖️🇯🇵🏁🏁🏁

Thank you. Helped a lot!

Much too fast spoken and not enough words used to explain properly.

I really wish I had found videos like these years ago. maybe i'd still have my 94 Ninja...

Used to look after 30-40 used bikes on a sales floor , so no time to remove carbs and be cleaning pilots properly ,
one way is to drain the fuel and give the bowl’s a quick short blast of compressed air .. and really short 1sec blasts for CV Carbs or obviously the diaphragm rubbers will pop.
But it works 8 times out of 10.

Well made video 🤙

And the float level?

Yes I'm smart I throw a shot if that stuff in there lol ima watch the other video

Never really a problem until Mr. Ethnol cam along .

I am so happy I found your video! l am showing all symptoms !

What about the return springs? Would taking each carb off the rail not enough spring to return back

Hi der...can u kindly give me a little advice what should I need to do on my bike...I had a zx6r 2000 model and my bike had a issues on the carburetor that's what the mechanic said here in uae my experience on my bike is when I was running on the straight express way can be run max speed of 140kph..my bike is a 2nd hand bike den on the first month I used it I can run only maximum speed of 120kph den after now it getting worst..as of now my bike can run only maximum speed of 100kph...now what is d possible problem on my carburetor is it still have a chance to fix the issues or should I need to change my carburetor???

Don't if you will respond but I would appreciate it. I have a '78 Suzuki GS750E. I am replacing the chain and sprockets. The front stock sprocket is a 15T 3 1/8" diameter and rear 41T. My new sprocket is 16T same diameter. How will this change the way power to the rear wheel is affected?

This guy is so good looking he should be illegal. I'm a bit jealous LOL 🤣

Hi, My bike's throttle does not stop even after the fuel screw is tightened to it's fullest extent, Can you please guide what could have been the problem.

Anyone know why my mixer screw is leaking fuel?? 2000 YZF R6

So nobody gonna point out how that carburetor tipped at the most convenient time ever?

What is the common cause of clogging in pilot jets?
1. Varnish i.e. old fuel. Although fresh fuel should have cleaners to dissolve the varnish.
2. RUST!!! A rusty fuel tank means either rust particles or dissolved rust make their way past filters into the carbs. The rust precipitates out when in contact with the
aluminium body of the carbs. Keep the tank topped up with fuel. Epoxy coat the inside of the tank BUT watch out for cracking which is caused when the tank
expands in the sun. Use microfilters in the fuel line.

Just got my 125cc and im wondering why it dies during durrinh idle, any help?

Do the float seats come out

I use brake clean or carb cleaner and bread tie wire

thanks for sharing ideas

On a 03 KTM 450 after complete top end rebuild , cylinder re sleeve, new piston & new titanium valves and new adjustable accelerator pump with every thing tuned and running perfect. one day after a few months my muffler started melting my side plastic muffler cover, then a few days later the bike starts to lose power at higher RPM. Any ideas ?
Thanks for any help on this.

Carb is KEIHIN FCR-MX 39
Carb jets stock 170-40, in shop book 175-48
Jets In as of 03-22 - 178/50

Why would gas be getting into the diaphragm area where the cover is? I have a 95 Yamaha Virago 535sg

I'm having this in my Honda Trigger 150. When I open throttle, the engine goes off. But I failed to repair as per your information. But your video gave me the idea how to fix it. Thanks.

the number one problem is dirt in them air leaks and float bowls. lol 😆

excellent information cheers A++++++++++

hi ive fitted a single carb to my virago 535 , mikuni vm 34, it has sooty plugs so its rich, ive lowered jets to a 90 the pilot is a 35 do i need to lower the pilot, any info would be good

Bro am a big fan from lebanon respect!
Am facing a problem with my gsxr 1100 mod.92 that first 100 meter it runs perfect then the voice changes and even when ur on full power it feel like a 400cc. Can u help me plz? (No engine soumd new oil new sparks)its normal but only that issue.plz help

I have a bike and its done about 80k kms. It stutters or gasps for power on 3k rpm. Upon little acceleration it speeds up & slows down on its own. It runs as if there is loss of power even on high speeds. I tried to adjust the air screw but there was no rpm change even after turning it all the way out. There was only marginal rpm drop when I turned the screw all the way in. Also the bike shuts off upon using choke. What could be the issue? Damaged coil, plug connector or bad carburetor? Please advise. Thank you

Thank you so much! This clears everything wrong with my bike and it worked flawlessly. I’ve never seen a “perfect” tutorial but this covered absolutely everything needed!

A bristle from a wire brush is the best pilot jet cleaning tool.

If stabilizer can solve problem, why gas producers doesn't put it in gasoline in a first place? I don't believe in "magic pill" that can solve oxygenated gas problem. Luckily, non-oxygenated gas still available for purchase if you plan fill it in collector's vehicles, boats, gas powered equipment or motorcycles. Just fill your tank with it if you don't ride regularly or plan to store your motorcycle.

Thanks dude!

Thanks Cappy

Hey would a clogged carb make my skioo just run on other side ( left carb and piston ) she only runs if spark plug is out on other side thinking it may b cuz no fuel gettin in so
