GY6 Carburetor Inspection, Problems, Removal, & Adjustment

[@capnchip]

This is one of the VERY VERY best info vidios on the whole of youtube. The light is good. The camera is steady!!!( quite unusual for this type of production.) The spoken info is professional, no foul language, no STUPID comments, nor words like "thingy". I am quite positively impressed with the professionalism of the vidio. If only more of these uploads were of this quality!!!

Fixed my carb long time ago. Runs good as it gets now. Idles all day long. All you-tube videos great. So much help. Was new to scoots last year. Inherited one from friend. Fixed everything. I can do quadra-jets, Honda 750 fours, syncho. Thanks.

[@GodShine]

Hey man, due to finacial issue's, I cannot afford to take my scooter to a garage, so trying everything I can to get it started myself, it has run so well, then after two weeks of standing still it wont start at all, drained the old fuel off, put new fuel in, put a new spark plug in and checked for spark (definitely had spark and gave myself a shock too!)....so my next step is to check the carb, I have never done this before, I had an initial inspection today and couldnt figure out how to remove he throttle cable, so your video has just shown me how! thanks man!

Thank you for this video. I have a Kymco Super 8 that needs the carb cleaned/rebuilt. I was unfamiliar with the procedure to access and remove a scoot carb. I watched a few videos here, but yours was the only one that made me feel ready to take it on.

[@billholdensaunt4086]

extremely professional level job not only on the scoot maintenance, also the way you present it. clear, concise...might be too good for a yt vid. i have a kymco agility 125 that is acting cranky lately. shops tell me its probably the carb from sitting, but don't know if i want to get into the diy of everything. but really a nice job all the way around. that is very kind of you to make a presentation like this for folks looking to save some cash on their scoots! i may just take a shot at draining the carb to see if i can get it to run again. kick only when it has sit for days and then when and if it comes alive it runs like the day i got it! then it just won't kick.

I wouldn't use a brass bristle brush on the float needle seat. I take a q-tip, snap it in half, dip the cotton in polish, insert q-tip into drill, and polish the seat. That seat should be very shiny. Fixes a leaky seat every time. BTW, you won't get lost in the crowd, with those shorts on.

What is the small hose that is L-shape not attached to anything? 50 videos and no one says what that is. Mine fell off from somewhere.

[@searayboter26]

I am trying to remember where my vacuum lines go on 2007 GY6 (Baja SC50-2). has 2 from petcock and ports on crankcase and air intake . I think one from crankcase goes to petcock. But which goes to carb? I watched your video and saw you disconnect a line from carb but don't know where it went. Thanks

[@searayboter26]

actually my petcock has two lines total. one is fuel

[@electronicsNmore]

I'm sure you'll be able to find pictures online. They're all different. In the video, the hose pinch tool is on the fuel line in.

[@jesseg010]

after attaching new carb. 50cc still won't start. fuel does get to the carb. and there is spark. but yet nothing. when I poor had directly into the intake it does start. any thoughts?

[@electronicsNmore]

Please refer to my GY6 troubleshooting video. Thank You!

[@michaelcloud9230]

great video, very well presented. cant keep my scoot running and now it wont start, probably due to old gas who knows. I will take mine off and clean it, either that or get a new one.

Plz help..... I have an atv Chinese same carb.... But when I turn the engine on, and i let go the gas, i shuts off, i already adjust the screw on the gas cable, as well as the idle screw (pin) any ideas what can it be??? Also where does the hose that's on top on the carburetor go?? Does it go to a little nipple in front of the carburetor, where the carburetor and engine meet?

[@electronicsNmore]

Unfortunately it can be many things. Bad vacuum line, cracked intake manifold, faulty carb, fuel enricher, or valve adjustment,

[@adonisworldwhy6006]

Appreciate you bro🫡

[@FKtdyvan]

Says he added a fuel shut off valve near the tank, but that is not shown in the video. I wonder why that part was edited out of the video or why it was not taped.

[@electronicsNmore]

Why bother showing it? Most people won't have one, or have one in the place where I added mine. I explained what to do very clearly at 7:40.

Do you have a diagram of the regulator rectifier you made? Any info in that?

so i need to set first the MIXTURE screw then the IDLE screw, how will i know if i set the idle screw properly?

I mean 1st i will decrease the idle, then 2nd increase the mixture screw to the maximum, Then 3rd increase the idle?

Should the needle on the diaphragm move free in and out or should it be stuck to the diaphragm? My scooter is running very rich and I have tried everything

[@electronicsNmore]

+sean crawford Hi Sean. I sold my scooter when I moved. Unfortunately I cannot check for you. Are you sure you cannot see that detail in the video? I thought it moved free.

[@johnnyboy9480]

Can you make a video on were the fuel filter goes I brought an new carb for my 150cc gy6 scooter an had someone else install it but now I am not getting any gas to the carb

[@electronicsNmore]

+Jonathon Myers Hello John. If your scooter has a fuel filter installed, it should be on the fuel line between the gas tank and carburetor. If you are not getting any fuel, then you may have a faulty petcock(fuel shut-off valve). Try bypassing that valve. You will see a vacuum line connected to it along with the IN/OUT fuel lines.

My 125 scoot starts up and idles for a about 30-60 secs,at around 1600rpm then cuts out! It will continue to cuts out until around 3 miles of riding until warmed up? Would this be the auto enricher not working? Thanks

Is the procedure pretty much the same for a 50cc engine. Also, can you recommend a good brand of carburetor?

[@electronicsNmore]

Yes, all the GY6 carbs are similar. There are many GY6 carbs to choose from on Ebay. :-)

[@kevinstearns4198]

any thoughts on the stock carb?

[@electronicsNmore]

Kevin Stearns Save your money buying an aftermarket carb. I have 13,500 miles on my 150cc scooter, and the carb has been just fine.

[@davidlottigjr710]

I have to problems with mine too and my signal wire fell off too

[@STFU768]

i just bought a new carb then i notice that there's no hole in the manifold vacuum nipple what does this mean?

[@electronicsNmore]

You didn't buy the exact replacement. You can always plug a vacuum port.

[@STFU768]

electronicsNmore what do you mean?

[@electronicsNmore]

+STFU768 I guess I don't know what you meant. Explain much better. Thanks

[@STFU768]

electronicsNmore so the manifold vacuum on my new carburetor is covered up with plastic, not cap but actual plastic fused to the nipples.On my old carb there was a hole in the manifold vacuum, so I'm just wondering if I should drill through the plastic or not because the vacuum line isnt complete when its covered

[@electronicsNmore]

+STFU768 Something does not sound right. You need to connect the vacuum line to the carb. Better inspect it much closer. Contact the seller.

was that a knife in ur pocket

[@RemingtinArms]

I've been having a problem with my scooter when riding... When riding at higher RPM, it goes fine for a little and then stalls. After, I have to crank it excessively to restart. I theorize that when going, my float bowl is being drained out faster than it refills, causing stall and needing excessive crank to refill. I have a brand new mikuni (sp) vacuum fuel pump that I inspected before installation, so I know it isn't that unless the 35L/H rectangle ones are too weak, and now I'm pretty sure through process of elimination that it's my floater. Maybe it gets stuck closed when I fill the bowl up? and then it drains over time... of course then I wouldn't be able to refill it via cranking... ugh, diagnosing my issue has been the biggest pain... any ideas on what it could be? I idle like a champ, but at 45 mph I make it about half a kilometer before it just cuts off

[@electronicsNmore]

Next time you have the problem, immediately try using engine starting fluid, or some gasoline sprayed into the air intake. If it starts right up, then you have a fuel system problem.

[@RemingtinArms]

Well in experimenting with the problem I've narrowed it down some more... since I had to drain the carb to work on it, the problem became all the more obvious. Fuel isn't making it to the carb (I put my filter for outgoing on the end, about 3-4 inches before the carb fuel inlet, and I can clearly see that it is not filling... I start up fine with starter fluid as always, which tells me that my problem is somewhere between the tank and the carb... All of my lines are clear though, I blew through each just to ensure that before installation, and my vacuum pump is new and of quality brand so that's fine... The only thing that puzzles me is the hose setup, I did it the way it came, but my scooter came to me pre-assembled by the dealer so maybe they messed up from the beginning? I have a gas tank unlike what I am used to seeing, it has 2 ports on top (actually 3, there's one at the very top near where u fill it is capped off, much smaller than the other 2) and only one of those 2 ports actually is going into the fuel inlet for the vacuum pump, the other is connected to a T and is having gas go back in from the outlet. I presumed that was done like that to prevent vacuum pressure from building up inside of the tank and eventually being greater than the pump's capacity, but I am now looking at it as the most probable culprit. Any experience with something like that? I'm more experienced with petcock style, elevated fuel tanks, so IDK if maybe that's all wrong... seems like it could be as simple as raising the fuel line going back in the tank so that fuel will go to the carb until enough pressure against the float is built up for it to go that way, or maybe uncapping that small port to allow air to fill the tank as fuel is drained from both of the other ports... I'm just glad to finally have the possibilities down to a minimum lol

[@tellmesomething2go]

WHAT IS THE FLOAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT. NOBODY EVER KNOWS.

[@electronicsNmore]

The fuel level height is suppose to be around 18.5mm. If no one ever touched the float, then you should not have to bend the tab on the float to adjust the height. More important is that the plunger attached to the float has a good seat.

[@kevinstearns4198]

Arthur Bradley there suppose to be paralel to the carb body. go to 90GTVert he has awesome videos.
