First Mod Everyone Should Do After Buying A Chinese Pit/Dirt Bike To Improve Performance!

[@lazzer408]

Lean idle - adjust af screw Bog at part throttle - raise the needle Bog at wide open throttle - use larger main jet Sputter at idle - adjust af screw or use smaller pilot jet Sputter at part throttle - lower needle Sputter at wide open throttle - use smaller main jet ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS check your tappet (valve) clearance before making any carb changes/mods/adjustments. These engines are notorious for leaking valves due to zero tappet clearance. The compression should easily hold the weight of your relaxed leg on the kick starter. If not, check valves. These engines are very easy to tune and the stock carbs work just fine.

[@mylordass8120]

Totally agree with this comment, I have two Thumpstars a TSK V5 140cc with YX-R motor new from factory, with Molkt Carb and a TSK V5 125cc this one has a Mikuni Carb and purrs like a kitten (valves had been adjusted prior to buying). The 140cc has had rough idle since new and no matter how I adjusted the air fuel screw or pilot jet sizes the problem remained, checked Valve clearences and whaddya know, they were tight! too tight, so I adjusted them to spec and all is now running perfect! It's not always the Carb people.

[@swalowit]

For anyone that's watching now, DON'T put the Slide and Valve Needle from a different Carb in New Carb. Also just advice when doing Carb work treat that Needle like it's made of glass, don't just toss your slide & needle on the dirty driveway or have it hanging off the end of the throttle cable banging around.

[@JamesBrown-js3lm]

I noticed a couple things and that's one of them.

[@Zanderman2000]

I had a small dirt cheap pitbike 70cc branded "samurai" once. These modern chinese pitbikes have developed lightyears in quality. However the problem with the samurai wasn't trash carbuetor, but it was the needle inside the carbuetor that was adjusted too tight. The needle has several positions you can adjust it and if you wan't to get power out of these dirt bikes just adjust the needle to longest travel position so that the throttle opens full. The problem wasn't the carbuetor. Samurai went from bogging to about 50 miles per hour. It was pretty enough speed for the 10" tyres. These carbuetors are exactly as good as any Mikuni. It just waste of money to invest those upgrade.

[@razablanco3766]

Yeah, but the original carb is machined and jetting it or anything is not possible. The mikunu carb is a much better carb.

[@Zanderman2000]

If you adjust needle travel to middle (neutral) position. Screw airfuel ratio 1 and half open these chinese carbs will run absulutely perfect.

[@jefferyharper5720]

What? Chinese are notorious for small carbs. Even Taiwanese have small carbs. Add to that the poor build quality, and you're losing a lot for a few dollars. Replace the carb with a pwk.

[@jeankarim100]

Those chinese carbs are not super precise so eventhough the needle adjustment should only affect mid range, if the needle is not sized properly even at full throttle on the mid range lean needle groove, the tip of the needle could still be in the way of the passage at the top of the emulsion tube, restricting some fuel to fully flow. So positioning it for rich mixture at the lowest groove should be something to try.

[@yates656]

Remember when Pep Boys sold dirt bikes? I got the Baja "49cc" for Christmas in middle school. I used quotations because it was a 4 speed semi-auto, big enough for a 12 year old and would go like 45-50mph top end.

[@timdoyle8199]

Part of the learning process also is possibly up jetting the carburetor or down jetting sometimes you need a little bit richer mixture and also the air fuel mixture usually about one and a 1/2 to 2 turns out adjust it with the bike warm and find the sweet spot (where the idol comes up a little) Then back it off about a quarter turn open so you know you're not to lean....

[@AmyRusso-e7t]

How can I contact you please

[@Gdad-20]

Spring has nothing to do with gas flow and thus, has absolutely no effect on bogging/fuel starvation whatsoever! The spring simply effects how quick, or slow your throttle and slide respond, up n down inside the carb. If its still bogging, you may need to play around with air/fuel mixture and/or jetting sizes. My advice to you young man,, is to learn, before you attempt to teach! 👍

The two o rings on the manifold to carb aren’t supposed to be together that’s why you have rev hang when you release the throttle to idle.

The drain on the bottom makes sure the carburator bowl doesnt get overfilled while normal riding.

I spent quite some time on my son's PZ 27 carb, for bogging at WOT cleaned the carb, no change, drilled out all the brass covers to access the adjustment screws and adjust it properly and... no change, checked the spark plug, all good, changed main jet from bigger to smaller, no change...Tried to adjust the float level and throttle needle adjustment and still no change... I think those carbs are built lean in order to pass modern emission tests on a 70's technology. I noticed a suction air sound at the main air jet when pulling the throttle, my next step, look into drilling the main air jet to feed more air to the emulsion tube. Will keep you posted.

As best I can tell you replace the Chinese mikuni carburetor with a Chinese mikuni carburetor and I think they're the same size what did that accomplish seems like you could have just rejected what you had bogging is generally a fuel mixture issue and is resolved by jetting. I've always been taught lean pop Rich Bog think when the carburetor slide opens and then there's a hole there for the air to suck air into more readily if there's too much fuel it bogs for a second because it's hesitating while it goes the extra air it needs for that rich fuel mixture to burn

[@TheFakeNewsFrog]

Just bought another pitbike myself and had a similar problem. It’s got a YX140, and I’m pretty sure the guy I bought it from had changed the carb at some point. But from what I’ve learnt, if it’s bogging when you quickly open the throttle, it’s running rich and needs leaning off. If the throttle is hanging when you let off, it’s running lean. But it could be down to a few things. The best thing to do is check for any air leaks around your manifold (spray a bit of carb cleaner or something around it, if the revs change, you’ve got a leak). Then make sure your throttle cable has no kinks and isn’t getting stuck somewhere. If all of that’s fine, try turning your air/fuel screw a 1/4 turn clockwise. It should be on the bottom of the carb. That’ll make you air/fuel mix richer. Also, check the spark plug, that will give you a good indication of how it’s running. In my case, I think the carb I had didn’t have the right jetting. So I bought a genuine Mikuni VM26 (665 Model) from ParkerRacing here in the UK. Works an absolute dream. Wasn’t expecting much of a difference really... But, fucking shit, it proved me wrong! Anyway, nice video man, keep it up!👍🏻

I say the same thing. These off brand bikes are way easier to work on than a Honda or Yamaha.

What website did you get your earring from

[@rprokopow]

Bog is when you twist the throttle and it starts to die because its flooding the engine. Your just hitting a flat spot it the power curve. When swapping carbs you can change the power curve. Also you installed the spacer backwards

[@nomdutilisateur]

5:12 WHAT A MISTAKE! Keep that cap and use it everytime you powerwash your bike. You take the air filter off (clean it nicely, seperately) and stick that cap on the carb so you can wash the bike safely.

As someone who has built around 10 different motorized bicycles engine kits never reuse the slide from a different carb it might look the exact same but it might be just a hair smaller which will cause it to be to lean and you will blow the engine up

Your fuel line to the new carb has a dip and rise right before the barb in the carb it makes it harder for the carb to get fuel I had the same issue on one of my bikes just cut some line so it slopes down to the carb

[@legowarriorsadventure3613]

11:58 i think it is a overflow so if you fall of the fuel goes out the side of the carb and doesn't flood the engine with fuel.

[@willcal2738]

yep! if the bike goes on its side, the float wont work right, often dumping fuel. thats exactly what that hole and tube is for! so it can go out and away safely!

[@stacyscottsprung349]

I’d change the air filter with the stock one it’s feeding dirty air into the motor that’s a crank case vent line hooked up to it. And the line you removed from the carb is also a vent line I’d put it back on and just roughy it down with the bowl drain.

[@andrewrussell5307]

What do you do with the old air filter? Do you detach the old air filter and leave the cable hanging, or do you put that cable into where the red transparent cable was (the one he disconnected in the video)

That line coming out of the side is probably the crankcase vacuum. The line that is connected to the top of your air filter is probably where that line goes on the new carb. You probably have a vacuum leak out of that side port.

I think you guys have mistaken this video as a tutorial.. When actually it’s just his experience,, mistakes and all.. but if you think he’s a master teacher you can go ahead and think that.. but really he’s not.. in fact since you all know so much, instead of acting all smug with your worldly motorcycle mechanic knowledge, laughing at him.. perhaps you could enlighten everyone w/ your knowledge and help the kid go in the right direction. I mean that’s if he even wants to make this a tutorial video, and not just a random video he decided to post.. or even post a video yourself, this way you can show everyone the correct way to install a carb,, while correcting al the mistakes this kid made.. or at least the ones he didn’t acknowledge and correct at the end of the video.. cause just talking shit w/ out any helpful advice doesn’t encourage anyone. And if you’re to lazy to post videos than I think you two should both grow the fuk up, and start acting like respectable people instead of immature haters.. but I’m bit here to tell anyone how to live., I’m jus giving actually helpful advice.. get it? I’m not just telling you how much you suck,, but offering advice on how to correct that shitty behavior.. otherwise I’m sure theres some grown ups like the whole Republican Party that you should go and offer your insightful opinions too.. haters Gotta stick together.. you’ll fit right in.. haha,,

You should never give it throttle to start becuase it isn't a 2 stroke, meaning let it start without giving throttle so your not reving it with no oil flow but with a 2 stroke u kinda have to because the oil is in the gas, no hate but it might make your bike last longer!
