[@jimconverse5343]

Thank you, Thomas. Clear and well explained. My Rancher stumbles , sputters when under load (pushing snow up a hill).

[@pizzaboy564]

Did you Clean yours like that? Did it work? Mines doing the same thing.

[@RomsonKuldiRex-fq1mo]

This is indeed a brilliant explanation ever to my Yamaha AG 200. By looking at this vedeo I've also checked and cleaned the main horse's nipple from the fuel tank to the cab which was being blocked by so many dirts. 2 Problems that were solved are engine dies when at low RPM or when at higher RPM, and hard starts again at about 3 minutes. ❤❤

[@allancuddi8126]

Thank you! Having a heck of a time with my 125cc sputtering and definitely not idling. Always has run great previously. I cleaned out the carb but will re-check these side ports. I’ll let you know if it works!

[@jaydookie9921]

This was probrably one of the best videos about small carbs thank you so much I dont think Anyone could have explained that any better video was straight to the point.. Ive been struggling with a small carb. First it was leaking out the over flow then it was backfiring thru the air intake now its bogging down with throttle doesnt die starts right up but bogs way down driving me crazy but im pretty sure after dozens of videos this is the video i needed to see. Will let you know thanks again

[@darryldoesit966]

i have the same issue with my recently purchased kawasaki brute force 750 atv. Seller told me it ran great and had the carb cleaned and re jetted by a local shop just before he put the bike in storage for the winter season. When i showed up to buy it, it spitted and sputtered like crazy and would not stay running. After i rode it around a little bit i raised the choke level up about 15% and it seemed to run fine then...the idle was great and no more sputtering or spitting. Seller was shocked and told me it ran perfectly before he stored it for the winter. I went ahead and bought it anyways knowing it was fixable no matter what and he gave me a killer price on it so I was still stoked to buy it. I so far am just riding it with the choke partially open and it runs fine so far that way at least.

[@andyMSH700]

colourtune plugs are handy as you can check the color of the flame which should be Bunsen blue after the choke is pulled in. there is a mixture screw under the carb usually which you can screw out a turn to get more fuel...might be worth a try. As long as the jets are the correct ones and the float heights are correct then with a clean carb the bike should run well.

[@ricnegrete1991]

That's a man who knows what he's saying. Thank you

[@MrRickyb1991]

im going to try this today. i have an old 1991 honda 300 fourtrax that seems to carbon plugs almost instantly. the bike idles great and can putt around in SL no problem, but as soon as your on the throttle to get through your gears, its as if the mid range power is completely gone it struggles to accelerate, and it starts to come back in to normal in the high end RPM. its causing jerky acceleration through gears and when finding your cruising speed. ive taken apart the carb and cleaned the jets, along with replaced the air and oil filters, plug and oil. somewhat fixes the problem but reverts back (my guess once the plug fouls) im starting to think the float may need to be adjusted now, thanks for the new lead!

[@TummyGuhnz]

I love how that’s the first video I watch to learn how to diagnose my issue, and that I feel like it’s solved

[@thomasbriansavingmoney]

Thanks for watching!

[@Mr618PulC]

Just got a 05 Yamaha bruin 350 in excellent condition. After about two weeks of riding, it started sputtering and bogging out when I give it gas. Took carb apart to clean and it was like brand new inside, but I cleaned anyway and replaced sparkplug. Put carb back on and same problem. If I slowly give it gas it'll slowly pick up rpms and fly but as soon as I decrease gas and begin to increase again I get the same sputtering like it's starving for gas or getting to much. Like I said, this machine hasn't been taken care of very well and has less than 1000 miles. It also will backfire a little bit every once in a while after I get off gas at high speeds. Need help

[@freedomspatriot1585]

I have the same condition on a small ct 200

[@armandodipolo9910]

Same problem here on the same quad, did you get it working and what did you do?

[@danbell8025]

Did you ever find out what the problem was

[@rey5872]

Figure out the problem?

[@greglockyer4335]

Being a 2 stroke the crankshaft seals may have dried out over time and is coursing an air leak around the crank. Check all gaskets and crankshaft seals as you don't need to hole a piston with a lean fuel air mixture. Take care and good luck 👍

[@joshbethel5800]

Great content. I have a 82 cb650 cylinder 4 sputters and backfires. I forgot to remove and clean the idle jets. Did everything else.

[@JustinnHeather9165]

Thank you!!! I am a complete noob and just started getting into ATV’s last summer. I am currently on my pulling carb for the 7/8 time done yesterday. the same carburetor in and out with out luck This video may be my saving grace

[@kenwilson2314]

What kind of atv are you working on? And did you try this yet? Having problems with a 2004 predator 500 stalls at idle. I’m going to try and pull the carburetor this weekend.

[@gerdunne1708]

Iva a Kawasaki KLF 300 that won’t start !! It was originally just getting slower and slower to start, so I stripped carb and replaced all needles and jets etc , I found someone before me at left in too many rubber rings and washer on pilot air screw jet , but now after re-assemble it won’t fire at all ?? Just seems to back fire through carb a little bit , I’ve good fuel and I have spark , I’ve tried spraying into carb while cranking to see but still no fire ????

[@JimMcCaffrey-g3d]

Best explanation yet. 2 out of four are doing this. I'm on it. Thanks. The 99 honda 300, never a problem. The rubicon 472, both have this issue. Was puzzling. Will follow.

[@msjsel]

Really liked this video. Thanks Thomas! I'm new to working on small motors and eager to learn. Learned alot. Thank you. This is the first of your videos. I've subscribed and will be checking more of your videos. I'm here because, guess what? My new to me, used ATV, is having carb issues. So again, thanks

[@geronimostruths1463]

Man runs perfect in every gear when you put it in reverse it don't have no power it just spits and sputters will not go backwards I also bought a brand spanking new carburetor and put it on it and it run perfect but like I said when you put it in reverse it just spits its better it won't go backwards unless you're on flat ground

Is not likely I personally will attempt this, but you are a great instructor! Clear, concise explanation. Thank you for the insight.

[@nicocooper9217]

Thanks man. Just bought my first carberated bike and want to learn as much as i can about it so i can wrench on it myself. It spits occasionally, its about 40 degrees out here in colorado, and it apears to only do it when choke is all the way in... so it may just need to be dyno tuned... apparently again... not sure if its tuned for this elevation. Assumed it was and that may be a mistake as i should have asked and the dealership may have shipped it up from elsewhere.

[@frerecampbell9291]

[@Mr.pickles6969]

I have a 98 yz250 2 stroke. Previous owner must have hit something very hard because the front rim was so bent that when moving it, the tire would rub the front shocks. I'm having a similar issue. But mine is occurring as I'm hitting the powerband. The bike will act like it's starving for fuel and after a few quick twists of the throttle it'll go back to full power - resulting in the front wheel coming off the ground. I'm going to pull the carb off this weekend and give it a good cleaning. Fingers crossed that I find some green goo. Otherwise I might be looking towards checking out the power valve. I'm new to 2 stroke dirt bikes/ bikes in general. I purchased it 2 months ago and have slowly been replacing parts. I'm a diesel mechanic and love tinkering with small engines. I'm open to any suggestions.

[@neildrummond5711]

I have a taotao 125cc Dirtbike. The carb it doesn’t run great with unless it’s in higher rpm. Whenever it is idling I have to feather the throttle to build the rpm before going. If I just hit the throttle from idle it bogs down and dies. It’s super annoying to ride because of this. Also the piston was on wrong with the intake and exhaust sides flipped since I fixed that it does run better but still is the same bogging problem. I’ve adjusted the carb so many times but to adjust the air fuel screw I have to take it off and it’s annoying taking off over and over

[@genecitarella3516]

You make a whole lotta sense bro! I'm having the same sputtering symptoms, only I have a Harley 2009 cvo fatbob with electronic fuel injection and what you just explained with the example with a carburetor is the same in nature, "Thanks big guy and be safe!

[@cbnx82703]

Question for, Im helping a friend with a polaris 500 predator carburetor issue, the initial complaint was only start and run on choke, would not accelerate but stumble flat out upon trying to increase rpm. He brought the carburetor to me, I opened it up found a plugged main jet and slightly plugged pilot jet / emulsion tube, all clean now and reinstalled, now it will start on choke and idle off of choke but as soon as you try to accelerate it stumbles flat , the diaphragm slide does move up but kind of bounces as it stumbles to rev up... What is going on here, no vacuum leaks on the intake boot either...

However I can not get the plunger to come out of the little tower it is in. I've had it soaking in carb cleaner for days and it will not pull out. Do you have any tricks for that before I attempt to drill it out?

[@srhodes4]

I have a situation that's very confusing, I took a ride into a patch of woods on my 2017 Polaris 450 HO for maybe thirty minutes-there was no path so I was running over trees big and small-I made it out of the woods but at the treeline, my engine started running rough, sputtering, backfiring. Luckily, I made it back home at a crawl while cranking the throttle back and forth, I had a new plug -OEM- so I switched it out- never did see the carb to see if I pulled anything loose, the plug didn't help much. I lifted the front end up so I could check out the bottom side, saw nothing pulled loose or hanging. That's my situation and any help would be appreciated

[@bruceschmitz1984]

I have a 125cc venom quad brand new .Have problem starting I use choke when cold it takes a few cranks starts but if touch throttle it quits and I notice fuel coming up in the cap hose .I set the air fuel at 2 turns and do the idle screw and some times it allows throttle but most times not as I say brand new quad.?

[@brianhimick868]

Great video. I succeeded in rebuilding both carbs on my 1997 Polaris 500 snowmobile thanks to this video. Reassembled carbs on machine and fired it up. The mag cylinder is not drawing in the fuel, thus the mag cylinder is not firing. Suggestions?

[@vuch9802]

Thanks for the video. I have a mercruiser 3.0 litre. I was having some bogging issues under load. I changed the fuel filter at the base of the engine, the filter just inside the carb where the fuel line attaches. Cleaned out the clear tube running from the carb back down to the fuel filter at the base of the engine. I put in new spark plugs gapped to .030. Now the boat is running better, the idle is still a little rough but the main issue is after I've been at full throttle for a few minutes I begin to hear a popping sound. I back the throttle down and the popping goes away but then at no wake speed I hear a ticking sound. I've run three cans of Seafoam through 15 gallons of gas so far. After shutting down the engine for a half hour or more the boat seems to work fine until full throttle results in popping again. Thanks for your thoughts!

[@jessesmith1181]

Just a suggestion but try adjusting the valves. Even if that's not the problem it is always nice to rule valve adjustment out. The ticking could be a loose rocker arm and this will usually cause a hard starting issue or long crank times before starting.

[@vuch9802]

@@jessesmith1181 Thanks for the idea. I am new to working on my boat this season. The boat usually starts right up. Are the things you've suggested something to do after taking the boat out after the season is over? I keep the boat on a Shore Station lift with a canopy. My only concern is that I wouldn't have the boat put back together before 9/15 when I plan to take her out for the season. Will I do damage to the boat if I continue to run her conservatively until the end of the season? Thanks!

[@jessesmith1181]

Not sure about damage, it really depends on how far out of adjustment the valves are but if you are hearing them tapping or ticking one of them could be pretty far out. There is a 15 minute ish video on you tube just for the mercruiser 3.0valve adjustment. So you know exactly what you are in for labor wise

[@jessesmith1181]

The popping you are describing is it a backfire through the carburetor or out the exhaust possibly? Trying to figure out what u mean when u say popping at full throttle

[@vuch9802]

@@jessesmith1181 The ticking becomes un-audible after about 3-5 minutes while running at no wake. However the cycle repeats itself (popping then ticking) if I go to wot after the ticking stops.

[@chrismcdevitt6215]

I have a Farmall 100 tractor that fires up with no problem. Then it starts sputtering and puffing smoke out the exhaust like it's flooding or choking. After doing this for several minutes, the engine will finally die. But, I can pull the starter and it will immediately fire back up with no hesitation before repeating the same issues as before. When it is sputtering, the rod leading from the carburetor will move back and forth instead of staying stationary like you would expect. Do you have any ideas as to what may be the cause of my issues? I inherited the tractor from my late grandfather and have some mechanical experience, but am in no way a professional. Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

I get hesitation at the top of all my gears and can't get over 55. Only have about 1/4 maybe less throttle pull in gear with load. Full rev in neutral. Don't really think any pop coming down if I member right. What's my area to reset? Side note. Parts are cheapest off Amazon. Bout the only things I really needed out of it were the two Lil round diaphragms and two o rings for my mixture screws. Should I pull amazon parts and clean oem 30yr jets and put them back in w new Orings and gaskits that I just got? Or do you think since probs at top of every gear and my whole final gear it's my coils and wires?

Hi Thomas, I have some questions I'd like an answer for. I have 1995 summit 670 with vm40 mikuni carb, everything is squeaky clean almost spotless in there everything new except for needle jet and needle. (needle valve, seat, main jet pilot jet, gaskets) and had it set up to factory such as round slide opening air screw and idle screw float arm adjusted to 19.6mm bottom of the arm to face of carb where gasket sits. carb was keep flooding I tried to have float arm to 20.5mm didn'tdo it. flipped the arm set it to the height still flooding. I took the slide out and excessive amount of fuel was coming out from main jet( throat I think), thru jet needle tube. I blocked the jet with needle and tried again and breather hole and such was puking out fuel. why would it be keep flooding? and its happening to both of carb and I dont know if floats will go out at same time

Tried adjusting air mix, 2.5 turns out from lightly seated and 1/8th turn in from there. Gradually closing but No change. Bike has drag pipes. No baffles ran before that way just would cut out under 3000 rpms so I set out to fix problem, lol , now I can't use throttle at all it dies. I've adjusted idle as well with no luck. Black sooty smoke out pipes upon throttling, or it spits from carb airbox side of throat. Plugs fouling bad. Changed plugs, put bike back stock, 42 pilot, 175 main...float been adjusted by spec...idk what else to try. Starts without choke ez. Soon as you throttle it it cuts out bogs n dies...all this just to try to stop the low speed popping n cracking...😎. Guess I should have left it alone but I was trying to improve it. With a bigger pilot. But that failed. I believe its overly rich...from the black smoke out pipes...and fouling of plugs. About the only thing I haven't tried is shimming the needle, which I understand only richins mix so I have not done that...any ideas? Bike only has 22000 miles on it. Screaming eagle stage 1 breather....drag pipes, everything, [e-mail]. appreciate any ideas. Float valve is working, accelerator pump works, no tears or pin holes in slide diaphragm....all channels blown out with light psi compressed air after complete rebuild and clean....rebuilt completely totally dry n clean....I'm lost...help? I do my own wrenching, dealerships take you to the bank even when it's a 20$ deal they take you for 300$ this has to be something simple....emulsion tube is stock, emulsion tube jet is installed correctly. ...idk...thx for suggestions...my email is above.

Hi I have Klx 650 1993 when I’m almost flat at 5th gear it start to cut out and bog soon as u let the throttle off it’s fine but this only happens when I do this ???

[@crystlegoodwin3670]

My gas golf cart only wants to run when the choke is pulled out. What can I do to fix this. Thanks for your help.

[@jeffbatchler2899]

This is the pilot jet in the carb bowl. Remove clean and replace.

What's up with my 700 arctitc cat? In idle revs up fine. In gear bogs at 3500 RPMs. Please help. Thank you

[@stevedriscoll2539]

Good video. I have been burned on that a few times where i didn't or couldn't get the emulsion tube out and the engine would still run poorly

[@californiaisashithole7837]

I have an old motorhome. It is back firing through the carb. Flames go everywhere. A good friend of mine got burnt badly when the same thing happened to him while working on his motorhome. I want to get the motorhome fired up. Usually requires a squirt of starter fluid and a bottle and hose with some gas in it to keep it going. Any way to keep the back fire 🔥 from catching me or the motorhome on fire?

[@garybrady7245]

[@michaelcasciere7149]

Great video. Do you have a video on timing? 1998 polaris explorer 300?

I’m having issues with a 1998 vn 800 classic. After about 25 miles at highway speeds It’s back fires and dies as of its run out of fuel. I’ve researched this issue and these bikes are known to have issues with the petcock and more specifically the “fuel screen” that sits atop the petcock in the fuel tank, as this is the only filter on the bike. I’ve ordered a replacement petcock because it was the only way to get a new fuel screen. I’m going to replace said parts, as well as add on an inline fuel filter between the petcock and carb, probably only on the “main” fuel line. I’m also going to replace the fuel lines and pull the carb apart so that I may free the jets/floats/needles of any build up, as I know they have not been taken apart in some years. My question to you would be, what else if anything should I look out for and what else may need repair om order to perform properly ?

my friend bought suzuki an125, it is 4t but with 2t carb. We cleaned it very well every part and every hole but that damn carb sucks so much fuel and it needs so much air at that level we should not put air filter. One more the problem is it gas a nice idle but when u twist throttle by like 1mm it gets choked and cant go faster than 10 or 15kmh at full throttle. Any help here?

[@ArthVader09]

What is the rpoblem with my gy6? Even tough engine is fully heat up, its rpm drops every stop, when you hit the throttle, it feels drowned first then it increase rpm after

[@danwilkinson2797]

I’m getting a put put back mild back fire sound when I let off the throttle on my gy6 125 it’s got a brand new carb . Could you offer me your ideas on this?thank you

[@blacktopmods]

So I just rebuilt my sons 2005 Honda crf 80f (dirt bike) and it idles good, but when get on the throttle quick it boggs and then when it finally does come up in rpms, when I chop the throttle the rpms come down really slow, not crisp and fast as one would expect. What did I do wrong??

[@Allonjr]

I just put in a brand new carb on my Yamaha Kodiak 400 and it is spuddering. I did have to slightly increase the idle screw but that’s it. Any thoughts?

[@TristanDavies-e6q]

Y am I getting bogging problems with my two stroke wen I lean over the front n try to rip it also loding up alot n doesn't like band in first gear

[@cjmatchett115]

My banshee has been making a coughing sound out of the right cylinder for a week or two. I’ve cleaned the carbs and air filter and it’s still happening. I need to replace the reeds but not sure if it could be too or bottom end. Any help would be awesome.

[@greenhatgaming6336]

I have an issue. i got a 1978 kz650b, it has a 4-1 pipe which is basically straight pipe since it was drilled out before i got it and since rusted, it ran really weak so we bought k and n pod filters aswell as upping the jet and pilot jet sizes to even out the mixture. the #1 cylinder and only that one will backfire out the carb every few seconds at random, the carbs have been cleaned twice, pilot and main jet are new and it ran consistently (however weak) before and i cant find a solid answer anywhere. in addition to that ive also been told that when it was parked (35 ish or more years ago) it ran fine however the original carbs were misplaced so new ones were bought, they fit and worked before the jet upgrade but i have no clue whats wrong. please any advice would be helpfull.

[@davidwipf5198]

My Yamaha xj550 Maxim doesn’t run on idle no matter if I adjust the throttle screw… but if I get on the gas a bit it idles fine… what’s my issue 😔
