    great video and breakdown. my kids little atv was idling rough, thumping...and backfiring every so often. Adjusted the idle and richened it up a little bit, idling like new, smooth, and no backfires. Thank you!

    Man, this is the best video I’ve seen on how to set the idle speed, you have saved my life. I’ve been trying for weeks to find someone to teach me and no one really knows how to properly do what you have just explained, not even the so-called experts. Thanks to your video now I know how to do it, I can’t wait to go tomorrow and set my DD2 rotax carburetor and FINALLY be able to drive like it’s supposed to. One again, THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏👍👍👍

      Hello
      My name is Jani Soini and I'm from Finland and I removed the restriction from my exhaust pipe. Now I have to change the main jet to a bigger one but don't know what sice... My friend's say that if I don't change it to a bigger one the motor might be ruined. Can you please please help me!?? 😯 I have a sym Jet euro x 50cc scooter. Can you tell me what size pilot jet is good for my bike ? I would be forever grateful if??

    im working on an '85 Honda Aero 80cc thats been in an attic since 1987 with a full tank of gas. These past few days have been a nightmare! Turns out, they havent made gas tanks for this scoot since '87, and this is too far beyond repair. Ive worked on tons of Chinese scoots using your help. Now, I can thank you for helping with this one. The air restrictor was stuck wide open due to some gunk build up even after ive cleaned and rejetted. i finally just looked throught the dang thing after this video and saw it stuck wide open. Its too late to try and get it running tonight with the kids being asleep, and I have to work all day tomorrow. Now its going to be on my mind all day! Thanks AGAIN!

    Thank you! I've been having a carb issue(keihin pb16/kymco like 50 2t) & took it apart for the first time today. At a point when changing the main jet (w/out fully removing the carb from the engine) I 'adjusted' the float w/out realizing. I put the carb back together properly, but the engine isn't firing (w/good spark and compression). A suggestion has been made to alter the idle mix since my plug is wet. My carb is different than this one, but it is very helpful to get a visual & explanation.

    This is great, similar principles to italian scooters i.e. derbi model with piaggio motors. My Scooter was running way too rich as indicated by the soiled spark plug. The scooter recently developed a significant vibration at about 1/4-1/2 throttle and at idle. After turning the idle mixture screw out about 8 full turns, the scooter idles much more smoothly, doesn't lag on take off and doesn't vibrate anymore. It actually has never ran this smooth. Great explanation of the process and how the carb works! Thank you. 2007 Derbi Atlantis Bullet 49 cc with piaggio engine.

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 6 lety +1

      Be careful. If turned out too far the screw gets loose and can loosen further with vibrations and end up falling out. Replace the idle/pilot jet if necessary to make sure the screw can be adjusted without it being too loose.

    I've got an '86 Jog as well, and I know exactly what you're talking about. Usually this was done by the factory as a way of discouraging people from tampering with air/fuel mixture adjustments and adding aftermarket components. A real pain, I know. I got a Chinese clone carburetor for mine, which had the air/fuel mixture screw. Took some modification to get it in, though...

    Hey man thanks for the video I used the guide on my kymco agility 50 its a different version of the carb but its the same thing. the sweet spot for my scooter is 3 full turns out from all the way in. My scoot doesn't have a tach but i basically set the idle to a hair under the tyre starts moving which is nice. I will suscribe to you its hard to find people there days that can even service a carb, Well at least locally lol cheers

      Give it a try since it can be quick and simple if the carb is easy to access. If it's RPM dependent and not throttle position dependent though, you may have something else going on... like a clutch issue for example.

    +Guajiro Konn You've pressurized the cases (about 6psi) and made sure pressure does not escape? Checking with propane, water, carb cleaner etc... for intake leaks is not always effective on a 2T. Reeds in good shape? Float height set properly?

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 10 lety

      Make sure the cable isn't pulling the throttle open. There should be adjusters. One at the handlebar and one at the carb. If there isn't a small amount of slack it'll hold the throttle open. Could be that you need to adjust in more fuel or have an air leak as well.

    @didnthurt4077 Před 5 lety

    This is one of the better guides for adjusting tje carb, thanks for that! Still have some questions tho.. how many turns out on the idle screw is a good way to start when starting from scratch? Also, is that all made without the choke pulled in right? Usually if i start cold i need the choke in to even be able to start.

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 5 lety

      Don't tune with the choke. Let it warm up, then tune. For the baseline guess on a new carb, try watching the slide and turn till you can see that it has opened just a tiny bit. Better to have it too low and die out than too high and take off.

  • @mforoz
    @mforoz Před 9 lety

    Hi there!! Thank you for the excellent video! I am experiencing a problem with my 50cc 2T morini engine and Iwould like your help...I tried to adjust the idle mixture screw and I thought that I found the ideal setting but whereas the scooter runs good after a while, when the engine has been pressed (e.g. after a 5 minute run in the highway with 45mph), the engine idles poorly and dies when I stop after the run...what could it be?

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  Před 9 lety

      Possibly the wrong main jet or maybe the mix is a little on the rich side at idle. Usually rich will cause them to idle low. Lean the idle often hangs. That's not to say it can't be on the lean side. Take a look at your spark plug to get more of a clue.

  • @kulvirjandir2454

    Hey thanks for posting this video it's really helpful. I was wondering what's wrong with my carb. It only runs on choke, once I take it off choke the engine picks up revs and then dies. Which screw should I adjust? Is this a lean or rich mixture? From watching your video i did not understand what to do with the idle speed screw. So do I just adjust the idle mixture screw and leave it at that? Or do I go on to adjust the idle speed screw after? Iv been trying to adjust the carb for a few hours and still can't get it to run without choke. Any advice is appreciated.

      The enricher adds fuel to richen the mixture. If it is indeed a choke on yours it cuts off air, which also richens the mixture. So the fact that it runs with the choke/enricher engaged and not without should tell you that you need to adjust the idle mixture screw toward rich. The idle speed screw is just used to set how fast the engine idles and you just need to keep adjusting it if necessary to keep the engine running at a steady speed so it's not cutting out or trying to take off. There's also a possibility that you have a clogged pilot jet or it could be an intake/case leak.

      In this video, the oil injection port is the one above the idle speed screw. You'll often see that it's a barb with a large base, because many (not all) house a check valve with a ball and spring in there.

    Hello
    Thank u for ur efforts to explain such a complex topic so practically.
    can u pls guide me on how to get the max pick up on my Yamaha, 2 Stroke RX100 92 model?
    I have put new clutch plates, new piston, rebored the block to 1 step up over stock bore.,new spark plug, new air filter,new connecting rod, and did carb cleaning, also I add semi synth 2T oil (30% ) .
    Also guide me to stop leaking oil pump.
    Does reed valve play any role in pick up of bike?
    pls.

      I think there are others that could be of better assistance of you, since I don't have experience with the geared 2T bikes. Any 2T could possibly benefit from port work and getting the compression and squish right. That's takes time to do a lot of measurements and you must know what you're getting into and realize the risk of ruining things. Two-Stroke Performance Tuning by A. G. Bell is a good book to get you going with the knowledge to handle that stuff.
      Oil pumps also aren't my thing. I stop all of mine by removing them and pre-mixing my gas/oil. Sometimes it's as simple as a loose fastener, bad check valve, or a damaged hose though. First thing is to be certain of where the leak originates, which may require some cleanup.
      Reeds do make a difference, though just swapping to CF or fiberglass reeds on my scooters has never been a drastic change. Probably the most difference I've felt from a reed change was moving to a block like the VFORCE-3.
