Fixing A Dirt Bike Carburetor That Leaks Gas Out The Bottom

[@no_handle_required]

I love this daily video format. It's like hanging out with friends, but friends you can pause and come back to after doing stuff.

[@YeetMeyer]

Literally always come back to finish these videos.. love these guys

[@WWNF911]

I don’t care what some are saying, the new video style makes me feel like I’m right in the garage with you guy’s wrenching. 😁

[@wobblysauce]

And a feeling of interactivity.

[@JapanDriver]

100%

[@ghwizz]

This is literally zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance

[@joejones711]

I would say the clicking you hear is the compression relief on the cam shaft, you don’t hear it while it’s running because of centrifugal force.

[@MainelyMoto207]

May I suggest you do some shorts? These will eventually get into people's algorithm and draw them to your channel. I honestly don't remember how I found your channel, but it's my favorite channel. I don't think you need to do a video every day, but a 30-40 minute weekly video would suffice. Check out Junkyard Digs format. I think you can minimize editing by just turning the camera on and off. Just some suggestions. Keep up the great work!

[@jenniesgarage]

Thanks for the ideas!

[@rigguyjt]

Ok so I believe the o-ring around the brass seat could be leaking by. Even if the needle is sealing, it will go around the outside of the brass seat.

[@CharlesVanNoland]

He got onto the philosophy because Camera Girl stopped with the viewer questions! You gotta keep the questions rolling Camera Girl!

[@reggiexp69]

yup. even if she already knows its good to keep asking question so he can explain. so viewers can understand

[@bertgrimm7722]

You do amazing work, keep up the great job 👍

[@activatedpotato9116]

I’m keen for a chicken video and a Motorcycle piranha documentary

[@BrianLopez4]

This is exactly a problem i'm running into! Always love your guys awesome attitude and valuable experience and knowledge!

[@jenniesgarage]

@BrianLopez4 hope it helps, thanks for the comment!

[@vansongs]

Where the needle valve meets the seat. Good motto for a carburetor channel.

[@Kadesgarage5213]

Been loving these videos man I will continue to watch daily as long as you upload makes my day seeing that Jennie’s garage posted, I still have those two kdx200s I sent you a message about a little bit ago and sure enough they are up and running and riding perfect I went back and watched your old kdx 200 videos and rebuilt my carbs perfectly thanks to you sir keep up the amazing work!

[@jenniesgarage]

Glad your bikes are running good!! Appreciate the comment.

[@HeavysquadRacing]

That a blue $1 harbor freight Phillips head? Those are awesome. I buy one each time I’m there and just sprinkle them around the house.

[@timflemming4christ]

Loved that whole "contentment" tangent. A lesson im learning as well.

[@MrWarzman]

Common 350k! Praying for traction for your channel. I love you guys. God bless you guys!!

[@jlucasound]

🤣😂

[@RunnyEgg-r9w]

I love watching your videos. Please don't stop.

[@notajp]

I use a mity-vac to test a needle and seat for sealing. As Taryl would say, “That O-ring was hard as a carp!”

[@jfontenizzle]

My favorite carburetor channel ❤️

[@DaxtonAnderson]

Upvote my comment if you want chicken videos! Maybe a weekly sunday update to fill the daily video schedule!

[@jlucasound]

I am blown away! 🥰🤩 Love You Guys! Don't feel bad, not many can belt out Robert Plant. 🎼🎵🎶🎸🥁🎤

[@helmet098]

Finally what I've been waiting for, bad singing and carburators

[@pieterpienaar8910]

Regarding the tyre plug, (if it didn't leak as well) you can just cut it flush with the tire using a stanley knife.

[@mikemontgomery8407]

Great video once again

[@jenniesgarage]

Glad you liked it!

[@paulwyatt1666]

Let’s GO! Love seeing you guys back to like your old self. I’ve been watching you guys since the very first carb video you did comparing fake carbs to original carbs. It’s very easy watching you guys when your sprints are high keep up the positive attitude and keep pumping out the awesome videos. I hope you guys are making tons of money. Y’all definitely deserve the subscribers and the cash flow. I’ll put I good word in with the greatest big guy above!

[@LS430VIP]

"somebody come and buy this thing, i just want it out" 😂 I know that feeling, got a Yamaha Beluga 80 at the moment that I want to sell, but can't in good conscience sell something that I know has an issue (rich running all through the rev range). It's infuriating when you can't quite put your finger on the problem, especially when it's not your pride and joy.

[@paulmckinder3082]

A fella can not have enough o rings. I will be buying a ticket for your upcoming music tour. Loving the videos and let's see a chicken video

[@blaineobrien4720]

love small engines, love Merle and Waylon.

[@jenniesgarage]

We speak the same language

[@JapanDriver]

Nooooo! You can't let the DR go. It's screaming out for a full overhaul. It's such a fun bike to ride.

[@jenniesgarage]

I'm conflicted about it. It could be a nice bike, but there are also so many other cool things to work on instead.

[@JapanDriver]

@@jenniesgarage Fair enough. I used to have a DR 250 Djebel and it still has a special place in my heart. The 350 was never produced for the Japanese market, but it's like the 250's big brother. A lot of people go for 250 cc bikes in Japan due to the fact that there's no mandatory vehicle inspection on them and they're much cheaper to insure.

[@brantmcfarland517]

Running rich like you said. Drop the needle/rase the clip. The needle adjustment is for at idle. By lowering it, it will slow the fuel from go up. The leaking is from the float level needs adjusted. Thanks for sharing.

[@bhoss7133]

Yes, i too am wondering about the float level position. Especially because he never mentioned anything about it. I gotta give Jake credit- he's persistent & tenacious!! If I reinstall a carb and still have an issue, I walk away for a day and tinker with another project.

[@ridersanonymous4756]

Totally agree with you Jake on all fronts politics and contentment. I will say my highs and lows aren't a roller coaster these days but I do have to to watch I stay above the happy line and not slip below into the sad line. If that makes sense

[@jenniesgarage]

For sure it makes sense. I am learning to recognize the lows and ride them out like a ship on rough water so I come out undamaged when the sun comes out again.

[@halftrack4199]

I appreciate the daily content!

[@SuicidalRiot]

Your words ring true right now brother thank you.

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

Just when Jake thought he was out it pulled him back in... Michael Corleone couldn't have put it better. 🙂

[@Mr_in_the_meantime]

I had a similar idle problem with my vn800 after I rebuilt the carb but it was because I didn’t have the air filter on so it was too lean. I covered the carb with my hand to regulate the airflow to test it and the idle did improve. Once I put the air box on the problem went away.

[@johnsn10]

You answered my question on a video! Love you guys

[@joshadsett4835]

I'm going to watch all new videos once or twice a week. 🤙

[@recessivegenius6630]

A daily video is probably a daunting task. I, for one, would be fine with 2-3 days a week. Alot of the KZbin channels I watch upload 1-2 days a week.

[@robertlunsford1350]

I'm in for the chicken video

[@jlucasound]

Wow, Jake! I have never had that situation. I have had to bend the tab (old school aluminum floats) to seat the needle...wait, I once did have a needle leak. It was the wrong one that someone put in and it was supposed to have a rubber tip and it was just metal and the contour of the needle tip did not match the seat.

[@wobblysauce]

Yep and over time they seat with each other making a good seal.

[@jerryhatley5004]

I’m with you…I’m what I call an Ionesco a-political…politics/politicians should not be important to a person beyond “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness”…family/friends are of ultimate importance…not left, right middle…

I had the same thing happen on my 1955 carb on my chevy. Nice job. Also yes I would love to see A chicken video as we love chickens.

[@Pfeifer426]

Wait, isn’t this her channel?!

[@seanmccaskey2940]

Do you think the idling issue is a carb problem or maybe a crank seal going bad, a crack in the intake boot or the lack of an air box ? I'm hoping you get it fixed and figure it out. Have you done a leak down test on engine ? There are so many issues that could cause the erratic idle issue 😀 Good luck... love the videos.... hello from Ohio Tell camera woman to do chicken videos.... I think chickens are awesome... I've had a few and ducks too.... funny animals and good eggs 🥚

[@bradk8694]

Long time watcher, first time commenter- I don't like the new format and prefer the old style where you almost strictly worked on motorcycles and left out the philosophy. Cameragirl, please keep asking him watcher questions so he doesn't philosophize! Glad you got a bigger garage to have some elbow room, now get busy working on the motorcycle projects!

[@jenniesgarage]

Thanks for the comment, we are still experimenting and finding a good rhythm.

[@exCR-it3ex]

Make sure the bolts are tight that hold it on. Will throw timing off. Check the valve clearance while you're in there.

[@pocillipora]

Use a Qtip in a drill, and some mothers metal polish for the needle seat. Polish to a mirror finish, works great.

[@backyardbangers1012]

Camera girl should do a video performing what a feeling. That would be great

[@Ajaxaxxess]

Check intake boot for leakse, maybe sucking in air causing lean condition. Check your plug color.

[@prdoohan]

I had an xr70 carbie recently that had actually pinhole corroded through the carb bowl. Aliexpress a Chinese replacement was the cheapest way to get a new carb bowl and I just kept the oem Honda carb

[@bntrouble31]

Been waiting on this video.

[@malcolmdown9170]

The float normally has a bendable tang which holds the valve pin. So you can adjust the float hight. If the float hight is wrong too high and it floods the carb too low and it runs low on fuel at WOT . Good luck with finding a manual with specific float hight measurements.

[@louisgohler1303]

the valve clearances can make the motor behave really different. E.g. when the clearance is too little the bike won‘t start or only with pushing it, and most importantly might have a „fluctuating“ idle. Had this Problem with my KTM SX-F 250

[@WWNF911]

Jennies Garage discovered that Move is a four letter word.

[@jlucasound]

Moving is always a good idea until you actually have/go to do it. 😮‍💨

[@pieterpienaar8910]

I have a 1991 DR350S with the BST33 carburettor. Picked it up 3 years ago as a barn find with only 5000 km on it. Mine also idles irregularly. I've been playing with float height, idle jet, idle air, fuel screw, needle jet, needle height...but the irregular idle remains. I think my idle is too rich, because i never need the enricher (choke) to start. But any leaner on the fuel screw worsens my idle.

[@pieterpienaar8910]

When the engine is warm, the idle also starts running away if I go any leaner on the fuel screw.

[@JessicaTully1]

I’d be happy for a chicken video too!!

[@musiclovr2890]

Go ahead and get an air filter and air boot, new fenders and the new aftermarket headlight unit you know you want to you know it deserves it

[@billbillinger2491]

Remember: When troubleshooting, it seems 90% of fuel problems are electrical related... while 90% of electrical problems are fuel related. 🤪

[@biker5134]

Put the air filter then adjust the carrbuter sound good for the bike engine is best

[@michaelroberts6299]

i new gas came out of our bottom , i had no idea gas leaked from a carburetor bottom as well

[@4STEVEJOY34]

I have seen many times problems like this when air is getting into gas line from some place. Check seals and for holes in line. My guess.

[@nickjames2267]

An fyi an old tube you prob have around and maybe even rubber cement will work on the inside. You only need one bead off to do that to

I like to check the needle where it slides in the seat. Sometimes they wear there or might even have ridges.

The "click" sounds like an auto-decompression thingy. If there is fuel dribbling from the bottom of the carby, it will never idle properly,
