Best carb tutorial I've ever seen , lots of respect 👍🏼

[@49ccscoot]

Thanks!

[@49ccscoot]

@quadruple treble 1888 It may or may not improve performance. That depends on the demands of the engine. It will allow more fuel, though the effect at full throttle is not usually much and that's where most people are looking when they are trying to find max power.

[@JimBrosephx7x5]

BRO!!! At the 2:40 mark you literally saved me!!! I cleaned the carburetor so thoroughly put everything back together and was having a sputtering issue because the needle had play to it because I didn't install that weird looking clip properly against it. You saved me bro I was so confused at how it was positioned and now I see thanks to you

THANK YOU!!! My spring was stuck to/pulled out the clip that holds the needle down, when taking it apart. I couldn't figure out how to correctly reassemble it, spent hours on U Tube looking for a video that covered it, without any luck. Tonight, while watching boating mishaps, your video came up as a pop-up at the end of what I was watching. I couldn't believe my luck!!! Again, THANK YOU very much, your video was very informative and has saved my ass

[@49ccscoot]

Glad it helped!

[@49ccscoot]

It changes the mixture from about 1/4-3/4 throttle most noticeably. Raising adds more fuel, lowering cuts back fuel delivery. It can affect more or less throttle than that, but it's most noticeable in that range.

[@PixellHaven]

that v shaped clip in the black tube flung out when i was doing a needle replacemnet on my carb and i had no idea how or where it was supposed to go, i fought with it for two hours and then i found this video so this was helpful

[@LUNARIAproject]

Thank you for this! As a complete noob with these kind of things I took my carb apart today after getting a 2006 moped that ran bad and died after running it for a while and especially going on fourth gear I thought I'd give the carb a cleaning, but when putting the throttle together and thinking I had it put together right and then starting it it reved like crazy at full exhaust and I turned it off immediatently, I should have watched this first as it perhaps had to do with what you mention in the end with the wire, I tried turning the throttle grip with the spring and needle unscrewed from the carb and it goes back into position when letting go of the grip but once I put it down in the carb and screw the top on and try to turn the grip it wont return to position, hmm I need to try again tomorrow and do all the steps and hopefully I will get it back again.

[@49ccscoot]

Different needles would have different diameters and/or tapers and/or lengths. Thinner and shorter needles will allow more fuel flow. Thicker and longer needles allow less fuel flow. The way different needles are tapered helps to control how much fuel they are delivering at certain heights (throttle positions).

[@turkishmuzikler2255]

If you leave it at the forefront of what fuel costs are you can explain

That little clip I didn’t know how to reinstall was searching you tube all day thank you now I have another problem when I start the bike it runs at full throttle can you help me it’s like I’m giving it full throttle the engine is screaming

[@49ccscoot]

Take the top of the carb back off and check it over. Sometimes the slide can be installed wrong and the throttle is stuck open. Before you start it, check throttle movement. If necessary, remove the air filter or airbox so you can see if the slide is down where it should be rather than risking a runaway scooter.

[@deezy9622]

Just showing that clip saved me, my whole set up flew too pieces and I couldn’t work out where that clip came from. Thanks 👍🏽

[@stemfilms901]

Love your videos and they are always a huge help. I am having an issue where my 1998 yamaha superjog 90cc (horizontal minarelli) will start and idle fine ( revs up fine when NOT under load) but when riding the 1/4 throttle feels good and wide open feels fine but 1/4 to 3/4 will not rev out. If i cruise at half throttle and twist to full it just bogs entirely but I am not sure if it is a lean or rich bog. The carb is a stock chinese copy of what would be the original. Engine is completely stock 90cc from Yamaha. I have tried every needle position from 1 - 5 but the scooter still remains powerless 1/4 to 3/4 throttle. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA

[@49ccscoot]

I would expect that to be needle position, so with it not responding I would clean the carb thoroughly and see if it improves. This also assumes that it ran well at some point prior. If it never ran well, then maybe it's the wrong needle.

[@stemfilms901]

@@49ccscoot thanks for the swift reply! the carb on there now is a chinese replacement that I bought new to replace the old carb that the Jog came with from the previous owner That old carb was supposedly from the same supplier but differed slightly with its layout. I chose to replace the old carb with a new carb as the prelube inlet valve had been broken off and the previous owner was running it premixed. I have no idea if it ran well in the previous owners hands as I was not able to properly test it ride before purchasing it. My fault but was eager as they are pretty rare to find the 90cc UPDATE: The needle from the old carb is longer than that of the new carb and so I have put the old longer needle with clip in middle position into the newer carb and the scooter feels much more responsive from 1/4 to 3/4 throttle. The air mixture screw might need to be retuned now

[@rickysheep93]

Any suggestions as to why my brand new carb adjusted right would bog out at WOT?? Would it mean the main jet is too large?

[@49ccscoot]

Could be the main jet too large or too small or clogged. Most of the time things are fine new, but not always so I clean new carbs before installing. If it takes some time before it bogs out, then maybe insufficient fuel from float height or fuel flow.

[@white93nsx]

Excellent tutorial

[@49ccscoot]

Thank you!

[@leoryan1276]

My throttle isn't working at al every time I start it wants to take off maybe I didn't line up the groves correctly for the needle to go up idle sounds very loud too any idea how to adjust the the mixture and the idle screw to the correct location 🙏

[@49ccscoot]

I'd start by taking the throttle cable and slide assembly out and carefully reinstalling them. Usually these issues are from improper installation. Could be something sticking or the idle speed screw is set too high. You can turn idle speed screw a couple of turns out from seated. That should be good enough that it doesn't rev too high if it's the problem.

[@leoryan1276]

Thank much appreciated 🙏

[@Cody-ix4kt]

my gilera runner sp50 2010 bogs under load on full throttle ive cleaned the jets im thinking it maybe the needle valve?

[@49ccscoot]

Clean the whole carb. Make sure the bowl is filling and staying full. Make sure you have good fuel flow. Those are the basics. If you've made changes and it's doing this, then it could need tuning. Make sure the airbox is installed and in good shape with a clean filter. If it's bogging on throttle application and then works OK, it may be as simple as a needle position adjustment.

[@macgrunt8598]

[@andyproctor3588]

Trying to find one of those little spring clips that holds the needle and the e clip in the round slide for a 26 mm round slide carb do you have any suggestions where I can find one

[@49ccscoot]

Luckily I haven't lost one of those and had to replace it. I'm not sure if there's some common spring clip or not, but if it's a name brand carb my first attempt would be looking where they sell carbs and parts of that brand. If it's generic, then see if you can find a parts site of anything that uses that carb and see if it's listed in diagrams. Sorry that's prob not a lot of help, but I'm not sure.

[@49ccscoot]

The good news is that you've richened it up (assuming all the way in means lowered all the way). If it's too rich, it may sputter part throttle or during transitions. If it's too lean, it may bog and you should see elevated CHT if you have that gauge.

[@p.c.h.6721]

Hi, please help. My needle has 5 positions. My question is, if I have the needle is in position 5, super rich cause that’s how my kart runs fastest, should I change the pilot jet to a bigger one and then bring the needle down to position 3 or 4? My understanding is that if the needle is in position 1 or 5, you should change the pilot jet to a smaller one or bigger one, so the needle ends up in position 3 or 4, is that correct? Thanks 🙏

[@49ccscoot]

I usually put the needle in the middle to begin tuning. Dial in the main jet and pilot. Then figure out where the needle works best. If I can't get it right at that point, then I may go back to jetting.

does the needle have anything to do with how the bike idles. im having a hard time tuning bike up to quarter throttle. it goes on but my bike turns off after it idles for about 1-3minutes.

[@49ccscoot]

The needle and main jet can affect idle, but usually they only have much effect if they're way off. Try swapping pilot jets, based on what you have to do with the idle mix screw. If you have to turn the mix screw all the way rich to get it to work best, swap in a larger pilot. If it's gotta be all the way lean to work best, try a smaller pilot. Also make sure the float height is set correct. If it is set high or low it could change fuel delivery.

[@callumshearer628]

So, which order should I go in to fix a mixture either too lean or rich? I'm guessing it's air screw, needle clip, replace jets?

[@49ccscoot]

Different people have their own methods. I prefer to get the idle good enough that it doesn't die on me, then I work on finding the right main jet, then needle, then idle/pilot settings.

[@crpth1]

+Ravi Shane - I believe the emission tests are done approximately at middle throttle. So the best way is to play with the needle height. Although I strongly advise you to get a set of vacuum gauges and fine tune the carbs properly your motor and your riding pleasure/pocket will thank you later. ;-) PS: Make sure the ignition system is also in tip top condition, clean spark plugs, etc. Makes quite a difference in the emissions. ;-)

[@49ccscoot]

Watch the steps here to make sure it's put together properly. Watch the vid below to make sure it's not just an idle speed adjustment. Then look for adjusters on the cable. You often have at least 1 or 2. Check by the throttle, at the carb, and near the center of the cable. They usually just look like treads and a nut. The more they are screwed out to basically elongate the cable sleeve, the more they tighten the cable and that would raise idle speed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2LZg4B7h9hniLM

[@nicholasasseng2228]

do you know of any stores that carry a c clip that is small enough to replace the one on the needle in the carb?

Finding your Carburetor tuning videos so Helpfull! Thank you! Could you do a video on how to remove the 'Clutch Bell' Without a impact wrench please?

[@49ccscoot]

The clutch bell should be somewhat simple. Hold the rear brake and use a large ratchet and it should come loose. If you've got someone to help you can have them sit on the scoot and hold the rear brake to make it easier for you to use the ratchet, and their weight on the scoot will keep the wheel still easier.

[@davidsilva6341]

What are those clips actually called because I lost mine and would like to buy some more.

[@49ccscoot]

You may be able to find them in a hardware store or possibly RC car hobby shop as E clips.

[@davidsilva6341]

***** i found them thank you very much

David Silva Nice. Glad to help!

[@amberharaden1676]

Thanks, needed help with Yamaha 250 2 wheeler. Great video, the jet needle came loose from the throttle valve.

[@tomvzet]

Thanks too bring back my midschool knowledge!!!

[@adamdorris4081]

Lost my ilde mixture screw on the road. Not cool. Had to make one and retap the carb to 1/4-28.

[@ninoechavez1402]

Hi my man. Is bogging on the bottom end due to diryy carbs or fuel line issues? usually only happens everytime i first start the scooter cold during the day it bogs on take off but once warmed up after reving a few meters or so, bogging is gone.

[@49ccscoot]

Simple solution is let it warm up. It's likely too lean for good cold start running.

[@tyroneoneill9220]

I have lost the packman clip where can i get one

[@49ccscoot]

Take the needle to a hardware store and they should be able to find an E-clip that will work.

[@tyroneoneill9220]

@@49ccscoot brilliant thank you

[@Frag3r99]

Hey i need help, what could be the problem if my 70cc, 21mm carb derbi senda enduro eats like 10+/100km fuel, which is ridicilously high? What could be the problem that it burns that much fuel, i mean a 125cc bikes only eat 5-7litres in 100 km.

[@49ccscoot]

+Peachy ❆ Fuel leak, float level too high, and improper tune are common ones. I've seen 20MPG changes before just by changing needle clip position.

[@Frag3r99]

***** mpg? Ah i don't know american standarts, European here, hope that's alot, would be a mood lifter to achieve it too, Is there a simple explanation of how to know how to do that with a needle? I do know how to adjust it? A total 0 fuck giver had the motorcycle before me, no idea what he could've done :/

[@49ccscoot]

+Peachy ❆ 20MPG = 14.1 liters per 100km. www.49ccscoot.com/faq/carbtune.html#needinfo

[@Frag3r99]

***** omfg 14 liters? :D But my motorcycle starts nicelly, runs allright, only works weird on 1st gear, on higher rpm it doesnt rpm more its like stuck there and like chocking but starts on first start all the time. But i see some petrol on my exaust, some under carb and air filter (not that much).

[@Frag3r99]

+90GTVert should I try to lean mine?

[@aaronneilen565]

I installed a new accelerator cableon the kids 110cc loncin changed from twist throttle to thump for the kids, now i have no throttle at all, was wondering if anyone could help, the needle on top where cable goes into carb, moves up and down?

[@49ccscoot]

Verify that the throttle moves when everything is installed in the carb by removing the air filter and looking in the mouth of the carb. If it doesn't move that way, pull on the cable by hand and see if it moves. If that works, there's an issue with the throttle most likely. If that doesn't even work, examine the connections on the carb side again.

[@aaronneilen565]

it works when i pull on the throttle cable the bike moves, but the won't do anythink when i try the accelerator on the handle bar, when i had taken the cable off from on top of the carby there was nothink on top of the needle like in your video

[@49ccscoot]

If everything works fine pulling on the cable and not using the throttle, then you have something wrong with the throttle.

[@Xk13ranx]

My throttle has no return can’t see any adjustments help ??

[@49ccscoot]

Step one would be to check the system over carefully and make sure nothing is installed wrong. Make sure it's not missing the spring above the slide and everything looks good in the throttle itself.

[@Xk13ranx]

90GTVert I’ll double check every tomorrow 😣

[@Pepnug]

+90GTVert hey man where did you get your jet kit? Or did you make it up as you got more?

[@49ccscoot]

I bought most of my jets from JetsRUs. It's not a kit. You can get small kits from PartsForScooters.

[@edmirkore8913]

You are a G much respect!

[@joanvirtudazo6393]

Thanks a lot....best tutorial.....🖐👍

[@trackrash]

You did a good job with this video, Thanks!!

[@gamer2350]

When I give my bike like half or more throttle the thing just Boggs and doesn't stop unless I let off the throttle

[@49ccscoot]

If the air filter is missing, replace it. If it's a pod filter, easiest would be go back to stock, otherwise the carb needs tuning, including a larger main jet. If this just happened out of the blue, clean the carb first.

[@gamer2350]

+90GTVert the carb is brand new

[@gamer2350]

+90GTVert in pretty sure it's the main jet but I'm not sure what size to go too.

[@osobarajas]

+David pelkey did you ever get this fixed mine is doing the same thing and I went from 75 to 80 and the 85 and about to try 90 but still boggs out from about half to full throttle with and aftermarket air filter,

[@osobarajas]

+David pelkey forgot to mention I did also put in a 70cc bbk
