Does Your Dirt Bike Bog?

★Tools I Used www.prymemx.co...
It is very common for carbureted dirt bikes to bog out when you twist the throttle at low RPM. Today I'm going over how to fix the dreaded bog on a Yamaha TTR125.

[@regriemer2351]

Very good video, spot on! I'm a retried longtime racer and professional engine tuner over 40 years in before I retired last year. The only thing I would just like to mention to go along with this fantastic video for the others watching this video is: The Pilot Screw screw adjustment can work in one of two ways depending on the type of carb your bike has, on some carbs the Pilot Screw is an Air Screw and on other ones it’s a Fuel Screw and they work in opposite ways, see below. 1. On some carbs the screw is actually an Air Screw and the further you turn the screw in it will reduce air introduced into the circuit and make the bike richer at idle and tip in off idle. Turn screw out and more air is introduced into that circuit making bike leaner at idle and tip in. 2. On other carbs the screw is actually the opposite, and is a Fuel Screw so it’s the exact opposite of above 1. when you turn the screw in and the bike gets leaner, and turn it out it bike gets richer at idle and tip in. For both carb types above when adjusting the screw, adjust it slowly as the change in mixture does not change right away you have to be patient , move it a 1/4 turn and let the bike run a thirty seconds between adjustments. What type is my bike Fuel Screw or Air Screw??? This can be tricky to figure out if your carb is on the bike. If you turn the screw so that the motor achieves its highest RPM at idle say it was at 1200 at startup and you turn the screw in and out slowly when the motor is say at 1400 that’s a good starting point. Once that has been found, shut off the bike and look to see how many turns out that point is from the lightly seated all the way in on the screw, don't force it in, just to the point when you feel any resistance. This high idle point should be in the range of 1 to 2 turns out for both types, as more than 2 turns is already max for the circuit, if its not your pilot jet may be too big or to small depending if your pilot jet circuit is effected by design as an 1. Air Screw or as a 2. Fuel Screw as per 1. or 2. above. You can also test off idle response after the high idle point, try to rev the motor off idle and see if your motor stumbles, if it does if your in the 1-1/2 turn range you can move it in or out and see if the response is better. Finally, if the carb is off your bike you can use brake cleaner to blow liquid thru the circuit and change the screw adjustment to see what is which way makes more or lest fuel to come out the circuit. Be careful not to get an eyeball full of brake clean when doing this that way. Regards, Reg Riemer

[@denisthek]

Yes I agree, like you tuning and working bikes cars for 40 years and still learning. Be careful with brake clean around rubber carb parts it can damage them. Contact clean better choice- I learned the hard way.Most of the time if it's an air screw it's at the air box side of carb, fuel screw is at motor side. Air screw is blunt and no O Ring, Fuel screw is sharp with O ring. Pilot circuit is really important even in the mid range. Don't forget to check where the Jet Needle pos. is also working on lots of old stuff people move things they shouldn't. Thanks again really good video. Sincerely Denis Kerechuk

[@albundy6804]

Yer 100 percent 2 strokes are air screws four strokes are feul screws , with 2 strokes good to adjust other lil screw at bottom of carb aswell to get it crisp and responsive

[@succulentstan]

Can I ask, how did you get into the professional racing and engine tuning world. I want to start but I dont know whether to go to school or just teach myself everything and get into work that can accelerate my learning

[@regriemer2351]

@@succulentstan The best way to learn is to go out Racing something, Cars Drag, Motorcycles, Snowmobiles, quads, you need to learn the hard way about what melts engines. And there are many things that do, Too much spark advance, too little spark advance. Too rich a mixture, too lean a mixture, incorrect fuels, fuel delivery problems, pumps injectors or carbs.

[@__Aleks__]

@@regriemer2351i have a question.. i have a husqvarna 610.. i struggle with some bog and something that feels like fuel/ignition cut while riding at "normal" speeds/rpms.. great idle and open throtle but fels like you ar twisting key on/of/on/of whil just cruicing... If i dont close the fuel petcock while parked it drips alot of fuel. The carb has a dual thortle wire input on the side not the good ol nedle on top with a spring and chim that can be adjusted as far as i cab understand. PLEAS HELP SOMEONE!

[@weebeast2726]

Affew tips for bogging! you have to diagnose whether its a lean or rich bog. rich bog is when it bogs then gains rpm, lean bog is when it bogs and dies, this may not be the case if your jetting is way off, if your bike used to run good and now bogs or runs crappy I wouldn't touch the jetting as its most likely a blocked jet or something worn like the needle or float valve or air leak, blocked air filter, old fuel, id go through the basic things before touching jetting. Jetting should only be adjusted when your bike is fully warm if its liquid cooled that is when you cant touch the radiator cap, air cooled can be abit harder to tell should be warm enough after a 5min ride. On most modern 4 stroke bikes they have pumper carbs which has a mixture screw, easy to tell twist the throttle and it should squirt fuel into the intake also the mixture screw is normally underneath if unsure look your carb up online, clockwise is leaner anti-clockwise is richer (older farm 4 strokes or pitbikes normally have 2 stroke carbs). 2 strokes have an air bleed screw which are normally located on the side of the carb clockwise is richer anti-clockwise is leaner. if u have a lean bog u can try to richen the mix screw or richen the needle by raising the needle which means lowering the clip or bigger main jet. a rich bog is the opposite, if its a lean bog it can be clogged jets and if it dies after a couple seconds of wot not straight away then it can be the float height or clogged fuel filter. Only boggs over bumps or jumps could be worn fuel needle that leaks with vibration causing the bike to flood. Bike doesn't start at all and can smell fuel float could be stuck, can just hit the bowl with a screwdriver saves taking the carb to bits, but if it happens often would be worth pulling apart and cleaning. If it only runs on choke your idle jet is clogged, if it runs better on choke you need to richen the circuit its running on. Depending on what stage of the needle your bike bogs at will tell you what you will need to adjust, 1/4 throttle idle jet 2/4 needle, half throttle needle and main jet, and full throttle mostly main jet, obviously this should just be used as a rough idea there are some great places and books that you can read to get a better understanding. Btw If you you are expecting to instantly go wot from idle very fast it will always bog unless you have a newer 4 stroke or efi, if you do have a pumper carb and it bogs when you blip the throttle and jetting is fine you can adjust the linkage on the carb that pushes the diaphragm that squirts the fuel in the carb. Highly recommend buying the mikuni tuning manual explains things far better than I can.

[@deanbailey7007]

[@cadenjames442]

WeeBeast does this also apply to when it only runs with choke on that also bogs

[@Rod-db8tt]

@@cadenjames442 When you need choke to run after warm-up it's a plugged or restricted pilot jet. Fix that first then follow tips in this video to clear bog if still present after pilot jet cleaning or replacement. On some carburetors you can (if lean bog) adjust accelerator pump circuit

[@1800pouned]

Mine usually goes fine its a 2017 crf 230. If i hold it wide open and let off instantly down a little hill sometimes it will shut off and act like it ran out of gas. There is no saving it if it starts to shut off either. It wont just start up after i have to wait 5 minutes or so. I just took it out for the first ride in 3 or 4 months and it went fine. I drove a couple miles filled it up and on the way back just crusing along it shut off and wouldnt start.

[@davemirra145]

WeeBeast hey bro just wanna thank ya for this comment. Read it last night, my pit bike has a brand new engine in it and I just got a chinese Mikuni carb. Put it on and it bogged out so bad, dad said raise and lower the needle etc and see which runs best then play with the mixture screw. Kept reading back on your comment and about 3 hours later hey presto! Bike started, ran with no revs up and down and no bogging at all!!

This video is the best video for fixing up your carb! I have a little 125cc quad that was bogging so bad when I gave throttle, all my mates said it’s either the slide or air/fuel screw. But I didn’t think it was any of that as it ran good before, and after watching this I realised that my float was out of line (running too lean) and I liked the fact how he said that bumpy roads after can stuff a float up, and that made perfect sense as the day it started playing I was out on the bumpiest road ever.

[@aaronuren6428]

If you can see the drain tube on your bow at the bottom, bend the clear tube up to the side of bowl and undo drain screw in the bike petrol on. The fuel will come up the tube and find its level which should be horizontal where carb bowl comes apart. Very simple plus accurate. Adjust and recheck if needed.

[@denisthek]

Great Idea Thanks!!!

[@gyromatical]

[@jhutch1470]

Two things I would add. One, take a Nickel round wound guitar string and put it through the jets like a super small bore brush. Then blow them out. It JUST worked for me with a snow blower carb this week. Also, after you remove the main jet, remove the main jet emulsion tube and blow it out while you're in there. Just saying. Great videos. I watch them all the time.

Awesome video. I'd add just one thing; for the diagnosis, it's easier to pull the air filter first than the carb - a dirty/blocked filter might give the same symptoms as a blocked jet or badly adjusted float. Other than it's pretty much the same method I use in the shop :P

[@JasonHenderson]

The float height also sets the fuel pressure on gravity-fed carbs. If there is too much fuel in the bowl your pressure will be higher and that's why it runs rich and runs out the overflow because of the physical amount of fuel. Too low and you don't have fuel pressure pushing up into the jets and it runs lean.

[@1800pouned]

Maybe thats why my crf 230 shut off a couple miles later after i filled it up. It wouldnt start. It will shut off too if i get low on gas and let off the throttle at once while its wide open.

[@robcbr91]

Do you think this is running lean or rich? Thank you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHu1kKSneNqabKM

Man, I'd love your knowledge of bikes. Getting a older small 2 stroke for the misses, cause she wants to try off-roading with my budget it's probably gonna be more of a project bike lol. Your videos with help a ton!

[@CameronNiemela]

Thanks for watching man! Good luck on the bike search

Im so glad i found your video! I just got my ttr 125 back from my mechanic and within a couple days of riding it, it began to bog out. Im almost certain that the problem is gonna be a clogged main, and, or pilot jet cause i did notice some bits of dirt in the fuel tank, so i siphoned the fuel out of the tank and to my surprise it was more than just a bit of dirt in the tank, it was alot! Im guessing that i didn't quite get it all out, and now the pilot jet is clogged. Thanks to you 🙏 and your wonderful video, i now know what to do to fix the problem.

[@yabcontraband6623]

The best explanation video I’ve ever come across, good stuff

[@ninastrom797]

Super helpful. Learning how to do my own maintenance on my Yamaha and this video was very helpful. Thanks.

[@marisolmiranda8602]

Thank you this vid helped a lot i just was done finishing fixing my dirt bike

[@mathehack1]

Great info on measuring float height. I have a vintage bike I cleaned up the carb on years back that needs re adjustment/cleaning so this is super useful.

[@esatd34]

I looked up for it, after that youtube suggested it. Which is a better and all together explanation than the others. Good job youtube. lol

[@a2zalarms35]

Thank you so much, fixed all of my problems! Best explanation on KZbin.

[@CameronNiemela]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@vincewhat1]

Dude I wish more people made videos like you!

[@drake34ish]

I just bought a WR450F that had some mods done to it ... it will only run when you keep the choke on. They told me it needed to be rejetted so thanks for explaining the jets like you did it might help me out fixing this prob...

[@Gonecoastalinalabama]

Very informative video. Well done brother. Helpful for a noob like me!

[@Reaper-cs7qt]

Thanks for the super video, you get right down to business and didn't waste time with stories. Awsome video. Thanks a mill👌

[@leandramartinleatherdesigns]

best trouble shoot vid for the ttr125, thanks!

[@drewb925]

Dude you’re a god been trying to figure out what’s wrong with my carb and you explained everything perfect my floats are too high same exact problems you described

[@CameronNiemela]

Happy it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@FumblingButtons]

I appreciate your method of explaining the details of what everythings function is. thank you.

[@austinbottensek9878]

Thank you for making this I've never heard of float height before. And your simple explanations makes carbs a little less intimidating.

[@J_Business]

Another great video. One more thing to mention is for those who have a bog is it can often be the accelerator pump (if the bike in question is equipped with one). I've seen a few 250F bikes benefit greatly from pumper timing and O-ring mods
