- Hello all, my 11k mile DR650 finally gave me an issue with the carburetor so I thought I would bring you along for the ride here of freshening it back up! The bike is back up and running great! Thanks for watching! 😁🍻
JIS screwdrivers. Phillips head is designed to cam out to prevent over torque on assembly lines, mikuni uses the Japanese standard heads. An impact driver (the type you hit with a hammer) works really well if you have never opened the carb up before
Yes, absolutely! I just don't have either of those haha!
@@southerndualsport3827 those factory toolkit ones (usually a black handle with a flathead/cross screwdriver bit that you can take out and flip) work surprisingly well. If you hammer them hard enough the flat head will cut through the plastic handle and you can put all the hit into the screw lol
@@tortron great to know! That's what I keep in my tool tube!
So generous of you to dedicate 20 minutes of your life to us noobs😢 thank you from Jersey!
Anytime my friend!
That little bit of oil is a great tip. Had a quadrajet on a blazer I used to rebuild. After leaking accelerator pumps a couple times...that was the fix. Will be doing this to my DR here soon. Great video! 👍
Thanks! Glad I could help!
Thanks very much from Bristol UK. I will be trying to do this soon for the first time. Very helpful video.
Anytime! 😀
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
More technical stuff coming up!
Great. Loving the series appreciate your work to put it together!
Thanks! Still more to come!
Hope all goes well now. I have taken apart carbs before with luck 👍
Thanks! Yes she's running great now 😁
Haha stripped my bowl bolts already, should have watched this first
Aww man bummer! They can be a pain for sure. Thanks for watching !
You forgot to remove the needle from the slide to inspect and measure for wear along with the spring, slide, slide guide and emulsion tube. These parts all very commonly wear and should be replaced if any signs of wear are present.
Sounds good, it runs great after this but I'll keep that in mind for next time!
Thanks a lot this was very helpful
Don’t use these old “backup” parts and gaskets. Buy a new kit and put it on the shelf.
Totally, I have one, I just save everything that's usable for that rainy day haha!
Hi what goes on the 90 degree metal pipe on top of carb,not the fuel pipe one.
My bike has nothing attached to it
My bike is a 1991 without vacuum tap
Hmm I'm not familiar with the early bikes, but if its a vacuum operating carburetor, it may be the help with the opening of the carb.
Hi,
How many rotations would you want for a medium setting on the air/fuel screw (needle next to your plug in the front)?
The starting point for the mixture screw is around 1.5 to 2 turns out, but every bike is a bit different especially if you have jetted it. I would start there, and fine tune it to the best idle. Make sure the idle screw is not backed out when you do this also, it should be turned in a few turns if you are starting from scratch. Hope that helps!😁👍🏻
@@southerndualsport3827 thanks!
Anytime!
Hi, great vid. This answered a lot of questions for me.
One question, please: The smaller vent nozzle that sticks straight out the right side of the carb, behind the rear break reservoir with the 5/16 hose. NOT the larger one that turns towards the rear of the bike with the filter over the air box. You can see it at 1:30 into your video. Does that just vent to atmosphere? My bike sat for a year and wouldn't start so I took the carb off and cleaned the gummed up jets. Now I'm just not sure where that one should go - LOL
Thanks for your help.
From memory I believe it does, but ill check tonight after work for you👍🏻
@@southerndualsport3827 You da man! Thank you so much.
Ok yes its definitely a vent line, it goes up and to the rear above the airbox but below the frame rail. Have at it!👍🏻
@@southerndualsport3827 Awesome! You're a life saver. Thank you.
@@stevepaulding9679 No problem!😁🍻
But, did it solve the problem?
100% yes.
What age is your bike? Do you have an external fuel filter?
2007 with 11k miles. I had just put a good filter on it before this but my fuel lines were cracking so probably degrading inside. 14 years of California gas is a lot to ask of a poor carburetor 🤣
By the way, nice channel! I just subscribed 👍🏻
@@southerndualsport3827 That makes sense those fuel lines will be getting a bit past it now. Thanks 👍 I subbed to you a few weeks back loving your fairing/ dash set up. Very tempted!
@@MOTODANS I really love it, great wind protection and looks awesome! Get asked what bike it is all the time haha!👍🏻
