    Just to add a little note. Lowering the needle clip in the direction towards the point of the needle richens the mix and raising the clip up towards the top of the needle leans the mix. He forgets to clarify this and It took some searching to get a direct and easy understanding of that simple little bit of information.

    Cool thanks for making this video , I am replacing my son's carburetor on his 110cc quad and this video helped me figure out how to connect the throttle cable.

    Good information. A handy trick: If you put your [blue] gloved hand right behind the needle when you are trying to get the camera to focus on it up close, your hand will serve as not only a better background color than the black shadow being cast in the background currently, but will give the camera a larger object to focus on. The needle alone as you experienced is too small for the camera to register as the object of focus. Alternatively, you can put the needle right in front of the camera lens (10cm or so away), effectively making the needle a "larger" object than the background (yes it will be fuzzy and out of focus), and then slowly pulling it back away from the lens until the image is clear and the camera focuses on it. Cheers!

    Thank you so much for making this video! The needle on my carb was loose. (Missing parts) I got glued it in place so it doesn’t move and it fired right up! I’ve been all around the Internet and couldn’t find anything. Now it works perfectly!

    TY man, for the clear instructions. I am rebuilding a used 66cc (my very first one), finally got it running. Four-stroking like crazy tho. Turns out I am running WAYY too lean (chalky white spark plug contacts) and I probably just need to adjust my carb (move the E clip). Lots of vids show how to adjust carb and tell you to move the E clip, but so far only yours shows me how to actually take the throttle assembly apart lol. TY again man.

    @BritishTechTV  Před 13 lety +1

    @goto50007 Are you talking about the silver cir-clip that sits on top of the needle? If so, then yes you need that because it keeps the brass needle in place and stops it from rising.

  • @motocraig7
    @motocraig7 Před 9 lety +2

    seems to have worked, i site mine to the 4th one from the top, since my engine seemed to be not getting enough fuel

  • @shithead
    @shithead Před 4 lety +1

    needle clip notch position completely depends on climate, among other conditions, that's why there's 5 different choices. Where I'm at in Canada, I run mine on the 1st notch. If I ran on the middle one it would bog all over the place haha

  • @deltabluesdavidraye
    @deltabluesdavidraye Před 6 lety +2

    These carbs work on 4 cycle engines .My 2 horse Briggs takes the leanest setting at the top notch then it was still rich till I drilled out holes in the air cleaner cover.

  • @averyliey2288
    @averyliey2288 Před 7 lety

    If you move the clip will it give more throttle?

  • @gregcornwell3584
    @gregcornwell3584 Před 7 lety +2

    Which direction do you move the clip if you want more fuel?

    • @BritishTechTV
      @BritishTechTV  Před 7 lety

      Hello, if you carb bowl is getting starved of fuel, you can try adjusting the two levers that control the fuel shut off that in turn get pushed by the white float. I would have thought going lower end (tip) of the needle would consume more fuel and air possibly.

  • @joewoodward2937
    @joewoodward2937 Před 9 lety +6

    A decent informative video. If ur a novice I guess. But I guess most of os should keep in mind that many kids that take on a project like this r going to have a lot of trial and error. ..just to clear the air I am a certified mechanic the air fule c clip will only affect u at low speeds. In short. If ur motor is not running ruff and plug looks fine u sold b ok if ur motor is bogging ot in idle u may be getting to much fule always start simple and work your way up

  • @GloryOrBust
    @GloryOrBust Před 7 lety +1

    My pit bike is making popping noises and sometimes backfiring inside the engine and into the carb. Does that mean I have to increase the fuel? If so how do I adjust the clip?

    • @BritishTechTV
      @BritishTechTV  Před 7 lety

      Hey GloryOrBust, thanks for stopping by. I don't know how to answer your specific question as the two issues you mentioned may be related to each other or not (meaning they could be completely separate issues having their own causes). I would need to have it in front of me to and get my hands on it. But i'll leave your question here as we have so many helpful viewers i'm sure someone will chime in.

    • @crunchyboi7025
      @crunchyboi7025 Před 4 lety

      It is possible you have too low of octane gas and it is firing before the cylinder has finished a full revolution, but that is unlikely to cause misfiring. The popping may be caused by a leak in between the cylinder head and the cylinder, possibly due to metal burrs between the cylinder head and cylinder, or a faulty gasket, just take apart the whole engine and check for damage or broken parts.

    I I replaced my needle which was bent by a new one which was little different will there be any effect pls reply

    • @BritishTechTV
      @BritishTechTV  Před 7 lety +1

      As long as its the same size and the clip sits on the same part of the needle, should be fine. Only way you will know for sure is by giving it a try. You can also buy carb service kits so you don't need to replace the whole carburettor.

  • @cybernetics11
    @cybernetics11 Před 7 lety +1

    so i have a weird problem with my bike. so the throttle does not seem to work at all and when i release the clutch the engine just goes full power like if i had the throttle pulled all the way. the throttle itself doesnt seem to do anything at all like its just there even when i do pull on it it doesnt seem to even create tension on the cable? the bike rides but again i have no speed control it jist automatically goes to top speed PLEASE HELP 😪

    • @BritishTechTV
      @BritishTechTV  Před 7 lety +2

      Hello Robert, thanks for stopping by. Sounds like like the needle is jammed or you may have a kink in the cable. If there is no tension, also check inside the throttle housing as those plastic cable guides inside do break sometimes.

    • @cybernetics11
      @cybernetics11 Před 7 lety +2
