[@dennisjj6529]

Absolutely the best carb rebuild online. I've never done one before, but I'm gonna follow your video. Great commentary, and relayed a tremendous amount of information....including some of the bad stuff that happens. Thanks again.

@Maxwell Ismael I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@johnathanvictor9216]

@Maxwell Ismael it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out!

Some advice:I installed a FULL HMF exhaust system on my 02’ Kawasaki Prairie; Runs great sounds great, this video helped out. Since it’s a full system I used the HMF basic jet kit front carb main jet #145 & rear carb #148 and got a rebuild kit from ebay. I used the pilot jet that came with the eBay kit NOT a good idea had a hesitation when taking off and excessive popping from the exhaust when cruising at 1/8th throttle/coming to a stop. I pulled the pilot jet back out and it looked visually smaller then the original which is a size 40. So installed a size 42 pilot jet put the air-fuel screws 2 1/4 turns out and it ran without any problems. I live at sea level btw. If you live at higher altitudes you may have to adjust your AF screws so that you lean the fuel air mixture or possibly use a different size pilot jet. On top of all that I installed a dynatek CDI box (totally worth the money). With this combination cold starts are better, an overall increase in performance has been noticed, top speed has increased about 10mph more and has a very healthy sound. Just letting you know what worked for me.

[@KReesethebeast]

Good advice you sound like you know what you're doing brother! That is pretty much what I had to do. It was a pain in the butt tuning it but it is right now. You like the Dynatek CDI? I may pick one up, I have thought about getting one. You gained 10mph? What kind/size tires are you running? I have 26in Maxxis Zillas on mine. What was your top speed before the CDI? And was this before or after doing the exhaust and re jetting.

[@bryanoroarke9860]

Excellent video. Thank you! My 2003 prairie 650 started leaking gas out the air/fuel screw. Didn’t want to deal with having to pull the carbs off. Did it tonight. Watched your video and will rebuild the carbs now. Thanks again!

[@KReesethebeast]

Awesome! Yep sounds like time for a clean and rebuild. Also, make sure you are using ethanol free gas, that will make sure those carbs stay clean for a long time. I'll tell you, if you're taking the time to rebuild them, it's a great time to install a jet kit and exhaust! Check out my video on how to do that as well. You will love it, I'm so glad I did mine. Take care and be safe.

[@bryanoroarke9860]

Kevin, pulled my carbs apart, cleaned them and rebuilt them with a rebuilt kit. I’ve got two concerns that maybe you can me some guidance on since you’ve taken yours apart multiple times. Everything I’ve read says I need to reset my float height but I don’t understand how to do that. I replaced the parts on the float that came with the rebuilt kit. What do I need to set the float height or make the correct adjustment. Is it even necessary? They appear to be in the same position they were before I took them apart. 2nd concern is putting the choke cables/plungers back into the carburetor, do they have to be oriented in any particular position or do you just push them in and clamp them down? Thanks again for the help and great video!

[@KReesethebeast]

You should not have to adjust the float height, and the choke cables should go back on just the way they came off and they do not have to be oriented a certain way if I remember, just make sure there is not a lot of tension on the cables when you are bolting them on. After you do it and orient the carbs the way they will sit in the bike pull the choke lever and make sure it pulls smooth. Have you put everything back together and tested how it runs yet?

[@bryanoroarke9860]

Not yet I was going to do it after work today but when I got home I noticed the butterfly’s are not springing back all that fast. I didn’t split the carbs when rebuilding/cleaning because I didn’t now how to resync the butterfly’s. Now I’m thinking I need to split the carbs and clean the butterfly’s pivot points too. How fast are the butterfly’s supposed to snap back?

[@KReesethebeast]

@@bryanoroarke9860 you do not have to split the carbs. Just follow my video. They should spring back normally tbey should not be hanging up. Make sure there is no resistance on the cables anywhere.

[@anomie6788]

I like that last picture showing you don't have to take them all the way out to change your jets.

[@KReesethebeast]

Yes if you can wiggle them around you may be able to get to the bottom to remove the jets.

[@martinreyess2298]

Those two pieces go the the diaphragm on the top end of the carb where it seals to the top cap

[@KReesethebeast]

Good to know!

[@thomascarnes4422]

your video was great. I successfully rebuilt my carb... the tiny brass pieces go on the diaphragm tab.

[@KReesethebeast]

I am glad this helped you out, and thank you I did not bother looking anymore I was so ready to get this thing done! Thanks for watching!

[@darrionlarocque9996]

shouldnt you check your petcock vacum if its dumping fuel into carb?

[@KReesethebeast]

The fuel was leaking out of the carbs at the gasket seals. I simply rebuilt the entire carb with new parts and gaskets and took this opportunity to install new jets and an exhaust. I am not familiar with checking petcock vaccum.

[@rileymarsh505]

I know this is super old, but how the heck do you take the choke cables out? Brackets off, but cables won't come out

[@KReesethebeast]

Did you ever get it figured out

[@MrDavidelliottjr]

What hooks to the two plastic niples at thr bottom of the carbs. Mine have nothing on them. Some people have said that was coolant

[@KReesethebeast]

Without looking at them right not, they could be fuel or coolant I would think. Just watch the video very closely.

[@anomie6788]

Man you are one determined SOB, how many time did you take the carbs off, I count 5 probably more. I am glad you finally hit the right numbers and you bike is running great. I was thinking about doing this but you might of scared me off.

[@KReesethebeast]

You literally made me lough out loud! Yes, I was determined to get this right come hell or high water! It was frustrating and jetting is one of those very tedious things, but I finally got it and she is still running strong! You can do it, just be prepared to spend some time on it.

[@Clamjammer]

Your quad is so clean nice video very helpful

[@KReesethebeast]

Thank you!

[@philbrady702]

Those little brass pins go in the tab on the diaphragms

[@KReesethebeast]

You are right! I ended up finding that out later. She still runs great so it was ok that I left them out, the others were fine. Thank you for sharing that!

[@jayburns3119]

excellent video. I got a rebuild kit just the other day and unfortunately i forgot after i took it apart what the two medium sized springs go to. For the life of me I cant figure out where they go. Any ideas?

[@KReesethebeast]

Could possibly go to the idle air screw that is on the outside of the carb. I am glad this video helped you. Watch it and pause it and compare mine with yours that should help you out. Only other spring I can think of are the big springs that are on the top of the carb. It has been a while since I have rebuilt these carbs sorry it is not fresh in my mind.

[@herbworff6592]

Kawi 2004 KVF 700 - Can the needle seats be replaced? If not, best way to clean/polish inside w/o damaging seating area.

[@KReesethebeast]

Get a carb rebuild kit like this you will get new parts!

[@macsteve-1648]

I know this was posted 5+ years ago but could you tell me where u ordered that exhaust,air filter and jet kit from?

[@KReesethebeast]

I got it on good ol fleabay from a reputable seller.

[@jameswalsh4728]

I would like to see someone put the needle jet spring assembly put back together, working on my carbs today 07/08/2020, how do you put it back together? Spring is being a bitch...

[@KReesethebeast]

Patience is key with carb rebuilds!

[@Joshrich126]

Hey buddy awesome video thank you. I have the same bike with the same mods but my carburetors have the 122 Jets in both would it be alright if I put the 142 front and 145 rear. It seems like a bike jump

[@Joshrich126]

Big jump not bike jump lol

[@KReesethebeast]

@@Joshrich126 You can try it. Carb tuning is just that, tuning. You may have to swap it start it up run it and see if it has any flat spots. It is a tedious process, especially with two carbs to mess with.

[@seaooobass]

I wonder if all the jet info part of this video pertains to the KFX700 V-Force. Seems jetting is the same, so I'll try the same number pilot when I dig into mine.....

[@KReesethebeast]

I imagine if not identical, they are very similar. Let us know what you find out when you dig into yours!

[@jeremyhoagland8527]

Great video. I've been fighting issues with my 650 prairie. Carbs look identical. At 3/4 to full throttle mine starts to sputter. I did carb kit rebuild but no change. Any ideas?

[@KReesethebeast]

That's a main jet issue. Make sure they are not clogged up. Take them out blow out holes good with carb cleaner. Make sure you put the same size main jets back in.

[@jeremyhoagland8527]

@@KReesethebeast yeah after watching your video, I figured that's what it was. Have you ever done adjustments on the main jets?

[@KReesethebeast]

@@jeremyhoagland8527 no all I have done is change the main and pilot jets whenever I installed the exhaust.

[@paulbattles5018]

Where did you get your recommended jet size from. I have the same bike and went on hMF site and they recommended 155 for front jet and 165 for rear

[@paulbattles5018]

Wait no I don’t have the same bike. I have a 2008 brute force 650i IRS

[@KReesethebeast]

@@paulbattles5018 Should be around the same size. My kit came with the exhaust. They did not mention a pilot jet though, and I had to tune that part myself and pick one up online.

[@zytekfan]

@@KReesethebeast what size pilot jet?

[@KReesethebeast]

@@zytekfan I mentioned it in the video I believe, I cannot remember the size at this time as I have worked on several projects since then.

[@chrisowens3365]

How much more gas does that thing drink now?

[@KReesethebeast]

She has always loved gas, and I cannot tell if she loves it any more or less now, but she sounds mean and has plenty of power!

[@jeremybevins8515]

I'm gonna watch all of them

[@KReesethebeast]

Thank you for the support, and if you have any questions post them and I will answer asap. have fun.

[@chadhundley1258]

Get you a dynotech CDI box definitely worth the money

[@KReesethebeast]

Do you have one how do you like it?

[@BeardedDaddyD]

I got a dynatech cdi. It's a day and night difference. Huge improvement over stock

[@joeperez2446]

Those go into the gasket with black caps

[@KReesethebeast]

Thanks for the tip!

[@jeremybevins8515]

Hey man I just ordered my hmf exhaust from the same ppl

[@KReesethebeast]

Hey that's great you are going to love it. This video will help you out. check out my other video that shows the stock exhaust removal if you need help.

[@larryholmes9912]

man my kfx 700 is doing the same thing sent it to the shop and its still doing the same thing

[@KReesethebeast]

Thats great how do you like it so far?

[@KReesethebeast]

You need to have it tuned properly with the right jets. That is all it is. It just takes time and knowledge. What is it doing exactly?

[@coreysworld433]

Great video

[@KReesethebeast]

Thanks!
