2000 Yamaha XT 350 Carb Rebuild

Today I clean and rebuild the weirdest carb i’ve ever seen. I’ll show you how to take it apart.

Great Video. I know this is old, but for anyone looking at it, it is also worth removing the quarter shaped cover on primary carb, held on with Phillip heads for cleaning and inspecting. Under the cover is a spring and diaphragm that squirts extra fuel on quick acceleration.

[@LOOKOUT2012]

I think you're referring to the Coasting Enricher / Afterburner Diaphragm, this is Not for extra fuel on quick acceleration... It's the exact opposite - when shutting off from full throttle it adds a richer fuel mix back to the primary carb.👍

Thankyou. Great tutorial bro. You're a highly efficient tech & top quality video & instructions

[@niconine268]

This is a brilliant detailed tutorial. Thankyou. Just struggling with low def pic quality. A little blur. I have this XT as well

[@deathcogunit106]

Funny, I had to use an extractor on the secondary main jet as well. I'm pretty sure it has to do with that cross drilled port that supplies fuel. I used an m8-1.0 tap after I removed it to clean everything up.

Efficient report for our favorite bike, thank you a lot . you have a very high equipment , but anyway a splendid open mind...thks again

[@gordonmcrobbie4220]

Excellent. Very clear, descriptive commentary.

[@thepursuit844]

Thank you for taking the time.

[@joeycottontail943]

Amazing video. Rebuilding one for a neighbor and this helps immensely. Looks like we need a better rebuild kit because the one we have is junkshit.

[@kratsz8265]

Thanks for the vid! Rebuilding my XT’s carb next week.

Awesome work, thank you from Poland!

[@thepursuit844]

You are welcome.

Hey, thanks for this video. I'm currently trying to revive a TT350 carb that is trashed. Not exactly the same as the XT350 carb but close enough that it's helped me figure out where exactly the o-rings go (the manual shows that an o-ring goes in the primary jet circuit but not exactly where) Also, one I was missing entirely (around the pickup tube in the carb bowl). I wish mine was as clean as your "dirty" one, it's a mess! It looks like someone was in it before and just plain didn't put o-rings back where they were supposed to go, then jetted it way down because it was running rich. I wonder why?!

[@deyjahellington7945]

Good attention to detail 🤗

[@jr7392]

@@deyjahellington7945 Update on this. I have the carb running perfectly now. The best rebuild kit for this carb is Keyster 0720N. It's expensive but has all parts that wear for this carb, including jets, emulsion tubes, needles, pilot jet and all gaskets including the coasting enricher diaphragm. The only part it doesn't have is the diaphragm for the secondary carb, but that is available through JBM Industries.

[@niconine268]

I have 94 XT 350. Trying to do the carb as wel

[@jr7392]

@@niconine268 Definitely get the Keyster kit for your year, either 0720N or 0621N. It's expensive but worth it as the cheapo $15 kits simply do not work or have the correct parts. Good luck.

[@anthonytaylor1855]

Thank you! This was an awesome tutorial.

[@niconine268]

Thanks. I've got the same bike

[@deborahchesser7375]

How do you like the dual carb setup ? I was thinking a custom intake boot and a pumper would really wake it up.

[@thepursuit844]

I’ve never ridden the bike. I just fixed it for someone.

[@niconine268]

For real Deborah. Sounds like an interesting setup. I'd like to know more please

[@thepursuit844]

It is the stock arrangement. Don’t ask me why, i have no idea as it is super strange.

[@PureVenomthe1]

Ydis carbs offer good low end torque, and are now efficient as they use less fuel to do so. The top end is not bad either but obviously after 2/4-3/4 if the throttle it will use more fuel.

[@deborahchesser7375]

@@niconine268 fabricate a manifold that goes two into one at the carb thus using only one carb and use a Mikuni with accelerator pump on it.

[@KamenKachev]

Hello, is it possible to remove the primary carb needle without separating the carbs?

[@thepursuit844]

I don’t recall since it has been so long since i’ve done this job but I would guess that it is possible. Give it a try!

[@deborahchesser7375]

Yes, if you can keep from separating them then that’s the way to go. Good luck from 🇺🇸

[@joeycottontailakajoeschmo3366]

My choke won't pull out out of the carb body no matter how hard I yank it. anyone else having this issue? Something is definitely odd with that because yours came out like you could have did it with your toes. i would just leave it alone but it isn't functioning properly. Also my diaphragm is torn.... anywhere you can get those besides dealership?

[@thepursuit844]

I wouldn’t use brute force. Play around with it. I’m sure you’ll get it. Any good bike shop can get them or search online.

[@dawnpatrol4256]

Great work! Which carb rebuild kit did you use and where did you get it?

[@thepursuit844]

Thanks. The brand is All Balls Racing. I got it from a small independent shop in my home town. Its not high end stuff, oe replacement, but you can find them everywhere.

[@mackandchezz]

Wish I knew that earlyer I had to by my kit piece by piece

[@thepursuit844]

For future reference you can buy an aftermarket carb rebuild kit for basically any bike if you look hard enough. Range $30-90 depending on what it comes with.

[@artbentley8594]

Would you rebuild my same carb if I sent it to you?

[@thepursuit844]

Sure. I’m in Alberta Canada. Where are you!

[@joseyamidgomezatehortua5994]

Esa moto se ve como nueva, muy poco uso, buen trabajo

[@kwasidanso6219]

My fire also go off

[@johnnywishbone932]

Mastercraft tools. Get the job done!

[@gabedearmon]

where can i find a replacement carb for this bike please help 😭

[@thepursuit844]

Unfortunately i do not know. Id ask a local bike shop.

[@gabedearmon]

@@thepursuit844 the only one i can find is an oem on that’s $700 and out of stock, it hurts my brain

[@thepursuit844]

Check old used bike shops and wreckers.

[@artbentley8594]

Hello, I have the exact carb. Are you in the states?, and would you be willing to clean and or rebuild mine?

[@thepursuit844]

I suppose you did not see my other reply from when you asked before. Yes, I would clean and rebuild your carb for you. I am in Alberta Canada so i’m not sure what shipping would be like. Please contact me at [e-mail] and we can discuss details in private.

[@deborahchesser7375]

@@thepursuit844 ill give you a hint, buy all the carbs you can and rebuild/clean them up and sell them here and there,they are good $, people love plug and play. Carburetors are a lost art to most people so take advantage of it, I do. 👍🇺🇸
