SSR 125 Pit Bike Carb Fix - Bike Dies When You Turn off the Choke

- SSR 125 Pit Bike Carb Fix - Your engine dies when you turn off the choke. What do you do? If your motorcycle or pit bike engine dies when you turn off the choke, it's most likely going to be a result of a blocked pilot jet. If your motorcycle engine hasn't been started for a long time and you leave gas in the carburetor, varnish and gunk can build up in the jets and potentially block the flow of fuel to your engine. Watch the video to see how to clean your pilot jet and carburetor and get your bike back on the road where it belongs.

I’d be happy as hell if my pops did this with me
Being able to spend time with my boys is the greatest gift a father could ever ask for. :)
YESSSS
Fixing it is 1/4 of the fun. Real fun is getting out there with them.
@@MaxSpeedMediaLive I can totally appreciate and relate to that. Watching this video now to learn about the SSR125 I just picked up for my daughter. Have to admit though, when she and I take the carb apart, I’ll pretend to already know what I’m doing lol. I mostly already do, been riding and wrenching on my two and four wheel toys for 35+ years, just came here to watch one done on a SSR before opening hers up. Thanks for posting this video, and keep up the good work Dad! Making memories with the kids is where it’s at.
I wish I had my dad in my life to do stuff like this.
Thanks for your help! We need more dads like you.
Dont get me wrong, this video helped me and several other videos of your have helped me in the past but you seem like your kids hate doing these videos lol as if you're forcing them to be on camera
MesserAaron13 ikr i could tell
He's teaching his kids how to work on a bike.. Leave him alone with your stupid ass comments
fuckin jackass
shouldn't you be more concerned that he let his kid smoke a mushroom in front of the good lord and everyone??
Maybe he don't like being on camera. Some people dont
Man you helped me a lot, i had bought a new carb and almost thought trow it back, and now my bike work great then ever :D
I´m glad you take time with your sons, thats someting they will never forget.

Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I've had my SSR for like a year and have had to ride with choke wide open whole time until now
Super Easy I did the repair myself before adjusting idle speed I was able to close it 50% (before even closing it a teeny tiny bit it would die) after repair and adjusting idle speed I can close it 100% and it stays running. Also has WAY more power now!
Only thing I need to figure out (maybe regarding idle speed,not sure) is it seems to have a delay now, between when I give it throttle and when it reacts to it, but I'll try to figure that out tomorrow.
Thanks Again
+Sara X Glad it helped! :)
Thanks for Video Helped Alot!
the 2 master mechanics haha that was hella funny... gonna try this to make my carb idle
Thanks I'm going to try this later today
Super Helpful TIPS
Thank You
Super Cool Dad 🙏🏽
I have one 2 it boggs out half thoughto you have any tips
I had to replace my motor mount bolt about 1 month ago! But now I have another project. Thanks man
thanks for the video mate it helped me out ps I have subbed
my bike was like this when I first got it its a 2016 ssr 125cc pitbike thanks for making this video
Does the kick down stand have a cutout switch on it and also does your rear brake master cylinder have a bracket connecting of it to connect to the bike frame ? Cause my master cylinder not fitting provolone like bracket or something missing
What are your thoughts i have air. Coming out of the carb intake so it doesn't hold compression like not should
I had to use a razor blade are a snapped hair clip for the mixture screw
My pit bike is doing the same thing but never move because my choke is keeping the bike on and applying gas it shuts off and i think the small jet needs to be poked through with that twist wire i didn't have wire like that to clean and hope this fixes my bike.
Where are you guys from I need this done to my bike
What if I have a brand new Mikuni carburetor? It is not trying to kick over and it only started with the choke on, it is brand new...
There is a flat head screw driver to get at the fuel mixture screw it's called a right angle screw driver
You can use a screwdriver bit head and twist it with your thumb and pointer finger instead of a screwdriver with a handle.
So I have owned one of these SSR 125 pit bikes for a couple of years now and I just have to say that they never made the video of the bike running crisp because it is nearly impossible for these Chinese POS carbs to run crisp. You have to just work with what you got and run a ratio that is the best. Either too lean or too Rich. One thing that i will say is that these bikes take for ever to warm up! waay longer then any other bike i've owned and they run different and in my case a lot better after they are FULLY warmed up. I love mine its great to mob around on. NOTE: before going on a ride just do an overall check of the bike. my exhaust has fallen off, my motor mounts have come loose, my front wheel has come loose, my chain guide has come loose, my swing arm adjustment screws have come out. my seat bolts have come out. even though they are super fun bikes, they are CHEAP bikes make sure you don't hurt yourselves on them.
also had to replace my CDI and ignition coil, as well as constantly adjust the bar mounts to make sure they stay sturdy.
Agreed. They are cheap bikes. The first thing you need to do when you assemble a new bike is double check all the bolts. Also check them on a regular basis like when you change the oil.
I have a bike like this one and I have reg hang for a couple of seconds....could that be a dirty jet or something?
Ao i have a thing that when i turn on the bike (good weather) the sound is really weird and it sounds like it is slowly dying and the rev isnt as high and then if you rev,shift, or just wait it turns off
I got the same bike, you guys mind telling me what size main and pilot jets your using in your carbs, mine has a 35 pilot and 92 main, but I can't seem to find a good tune for it, I can get it to idle like a champ but when I go for a ride and it reaches operating temp (choke off) when I try n give it gas it will bog out, my spark plug is black, you guys mind telling me what u have your mixture screw and idle screw set to? Would really appreciate it
Watch the vid he explains 1 to 2 full turns out
What are those brake and shift levers? They don't look stock
Hi, what did you done it ?
What does it mean wen your throttle is super loose ND not giving gas?
can you help me my pitbike over revs when the choke is off but ok half way, but when i rev it over revs straight after. it that to much air?
I've always wanted a ssr 125, my current dirt bike got stolen so now I'm going to be saving my money for about 3 years.
I have too for 3 years😂 its kinda sad thoo
Hey wht size axel wrk on the back wheel
Mine dies when I give it more then 1/4 of throttle if that but runs fine if I keep it in that range
i think they want you to use one of those angled screwdrivers like a allen wrench but that would be tedius lol
Can you use a flat screwdriver head bit on a socket wrench to get to your adjustment screw? I agree the position of the screw is terrible.
Whatever you need to do to get at it I guess. We never had to do that though.
hi can you buy a ssr exhaust from ebay or Amazon and review it please I want to buy one but I don't now if there good or how they sound
ssr pitbike adventures just buy it they are $60 for pipe and muffler get big bore
Just keep the stock one unless you can afford a fmf slip on
The cheap unbranded exausts are trash
Where do I buy a moter mount bolt
wasnt this for sale not long ago?
what airfilter is that?
those boys look very sad why I don't know
V Beemer There Dad made them do it!! LMAO
V Beemer they are trying to act cool
Yeah why?
Because they dident get a honda
Cause bkie broke down
My brand new carburetor is only running on choke what could that be
try a quater drive socket with a flat head bit in it
Me and my dad did the same thing we always was working on cars or bikes
That's awesome. It's a good thing to do!
Help me!
When I try to run my pitbike won't start. What does is that the gas flow into the air filter! How do I fix it?
This should fix my bike... right Evan?
Yeah...word of the day.
Breakdown start to finish before you begin this process and show the whole process.
Have a taotao 125 and having a carb issue. Cannot get it to run correctly.
I’m having same problem wouldn’t stay started when Chile was off or in gear so I replaced the carburetor now it won’t start at all smh
and my carb is the same as this what kind of carb is it actually known as?
Everytime I kick my SSR125, it litterally sounds like a rubber ducky is stuck in the motor. It makes a horrific wheezing noise. Please help.
Where should I buy this bike from?
Can you use dw-40 to clean the jet ?
+Connor Prifti No. Use carb cleaner.
Hello I got the exact same bike. It runs Great at low rpm but when I give it a little throttle it stops running. Do you have any suggestions?
Mxrider2stroke Braaap clean the carb and adjust
I have a Stomp 140 with carb problems. it's got a 26mm Mikuni carb. it runs and goes fine but when I give it more than 3/4 throttle it sounds like it's hitting a rev limiter. I've tried adjusting the air/fuel mixture. it's on the middle clip on the needle and I've tried lifting and lowering it one clip the re adjusting the air and fuel screws but still does it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
Gary Lowe have you cleaned it take it apart clean every piece and adjust while running
Gary Lowe also check and make sure you're getting factory specs on the spark might be cdi,coil
My bike used to start and idle for 10 seconds or so and cut out whether i reved it or not and now it just doesn’t start now
I have the same bike but can you do a vid of what to use if you lost you gas cap
instead of using carb cleaner can you use starting fluif
O K yeah if you want the motor to blow up
Should the wire run completely through the pilot jet or is mine just completely clogged?
It should pass through completely otherwise how would the fuel get through. The wire used must be smaller than the jet opening.
What year is this
Mine was dying after i turnd the choke off, i added more fuel to the ratio cause i thought it was running lean, now it idles fine after i turn choke off but it dies when i come to a stop after riding for a bit, still a bit lean? Or ingota do some adjusting? Or is it something internal
Turn the idle up a little. It's probably to low.
Max Speed Media it's a 2 stroke yz85, alot of people tell me 2strokes arnt suppose to idle properly as they are race bikes an are suppose to be ridden at high revs? Hence the reason for dying at idle lol
I think my chain might be too tight but thats how it came in
I have a few more questions in regards to the CARB on the SSR. My Son is riding the 110. Is the Choke OPEN position when the lever is horizontal and flat? or is it Open when the Lever is pushed downward? The engine dies if the lever is in the horizontal position, unfortunately the poorly worded owner's manual doesn't say what position is open choke and what is closed. Second problem is we're getting fuel overflow while he rides, which leads me to guess Choke is open and the carb is taking on too much fuel, but when I close it the engine dies. How would I fix this?
Do you still need help
Please let me know the number on your high and low jets
Sorry. I don't remember the exact sizes. It's been a long time. Just up-size the jets 1-2 sizes if you get a straight thru exhaust and you should be fine.
Every time I go to first gear my bike turns off , what’s the issue ?
Question, my ssr 125tr is leaking gas straight through the carb and out the overflow tube even when the bike isnt started. i turn the fuel on and it just starts pour out gas, any ideas here?
asvpxdblock flots are sticking
asvpxdblock it could have a drain screw at the bottom of the carb. Follow the tube that is dropping the fuel back to the carb and if there is a screw tighten it. :)
Maybe the gasket? Mine did same after opening my carb because my gasket got stretched tried to put it back in properly but I need to change it, leaks like a mofo when tipped slightly to the side
I've been having problems with my pit bike, it idles fine with choke on but once I turn it off it Boggs out. If I try to keep it on it back fires n sounds nasty, idk what the problem with it is. Also the tip of my spark plug was burnt. Any ideas
+bravodylan1 Sounds like it isn't getting fuel. Check fuel filter and check for blocked carb jets
Max Speed Media I cleaned out the jets yesterday, but haven't checked out the filter. I'll do that a in a bit. It was running excellent then it started back firing and turning off n now just can't take choke off it it Boggs out. Just odd I'm gonna go fill it up and check the filter
Max Speed Media if I can't figure it out by tomorrow I'll post a video of it, I need to fix. I'm gonna be using it for work haha so I'll need to fix ASAP, I close so I go in at 4pm n out at 2am may start posting put bike adventure videos of me coming and going to work haha
+bravodylan1 It may be the CDI box which is under the seat. If that goes out, it won't start up, no spark and will die. Check for spark and if no spark replace the CDI.
Get bigger jets you're not getting enough fuel.
Hey, Bro, what year is this bike? The reason I ask is because I just bought this same bike off of Marketplace, and I can't figure out the year. Knowing the year if your bike will help me out a bit more.
I believe it was a 2001. I sold the bike several years back. It was a great runner.
@@MaxSpeedMediaLive oh, man, thank you for replying. They are runners, Bro. I just picked one up for $80; it runs and drives beautifully, and just needs some cosmetic stuff. But if it's worth doing, it's worth over doing, lol. I'm stripping it down, and having the frame, and swingarm powder coated, buying new plastics, graphics, and inverted Forks for her. I would like to send you before and after pictures.
@@ralphelliott9762 Awesome. Have fun with the project!
Lol I wish it was the easy to get the carb out on my Kawasaki klx 140G
My bike does when I try to take off in first bogs out and dies
My bike is also having a problem to idle..could this fix that too??
Idle screw
Also use a butterknife to screw it
Idle screw use a butter knife to twist
do they come with electric start
wolf gaming03 nope
The full autos do but the semi and manual don't
Guys, i would change that Carb as fast as you can say "Crapycarbio"!
Just buy a cheap Chinese Carb like Molkt. At least it got the screws on the right place, very easy to reach
Dial it in luv it
I changed my carb but it still wont work
How many screws out did you go on the mixture screw
That was a long time ago. Can't remember for sure. You can turn the screw in and count how many turns, then back it out to adjust keeping track of how many turns until it runs properly.
Where do you get your parts ?
What are the number on high and low jet ?
What type of bike is that
SSR 125 Pit Bike.
Is that a 26mm carb?
must be.
My motor mount bolt broke too for my SSR can you comment a link on where to find
+matt dechert You can probably find a replacement at any home depot or hardware store if it's a standard or metric bolt. You can always cut the excess threads off a bolt to match the original if it's too long.

My bike is the opposite it dies when the choke is on plz help my son is sad
Bet its just a cold air leak gaskets blow out on them china bikes on the intake
So what did you do to get it tuned? Kinda worthless video if you don’t accomplish the task
could have just adjusted the idle screw
Can you put bigger carbs on these bikes??
+Luis Calderon You could but they don't need it. Maybe a better quality card but not larger.
My pit bike doesnt start with choke it starts 1st kick no choke
what happend to the vids?
how much does bike cost you ?
Anthony Perez i got mine with used (they only ran 1 tank of gas trough it) for $600
super dad
Why doesn't my bike run how it suppose to run i run it and it like stalls and doesn't want to run how it's suppose to it's slow for what it has to run . Do I need to clean my carb ?
Juan Valadez just try and adjust your idle setting on the carb
I cleaned my pilot jet but when the choke is off it dies
You need to turn you mixture screw at least one turn out and if it still dies keep doing it until it stops dying
Carter Hope
I had the same problem. Checked my jets and they were clean. But I noticed my float was not adjusted. It was closing off the fuel before it reached the level mark. It was starving for fuel! Bent the needle tab and it now runs without the choke! Who knew?
My ssr is back firing, I have a video on my page, can anyone help
bravodylan1 your getting to much gas or air check the air filter and the jets
it's run because the engine is already warmed up
aye bro ur not supposed to spray carb cleaner in the engine while running or when gas is in the carb it can catch fire thats y ur bike was backfiring
Mtb Ridingog whats up my dude, jus so you not mis informed or misinforming others... yes i wouldnt recomend spraying carb in a running engine if u dont know what your doing, but it is a way to clean out gunk from the carb an inside the intake an as long as u spray inside the carb/throttle plate, rev to 3000 or so, you have no worries. we use carb cleaner to spray n engines all the time to get them started an n the shop when they have bad fuel pumps or other fuel delivery issues etc. peace, safe riding champ
I am 5'4,will I fit on this bike?
Yes
Nathan Blevins I'm 5'11 n I love it
they need at least a 200cc
make sure you not using choke opposite like i was lol
You didn't tell us any of the steps you took to get the bike to idol properly after you put the carb back on
Christopher Burroughs it’s one screw you twist left or right to make the bike idle fast or slow
You won't have these issues if you use non ethanol gas
Motor mount bolt shears off,...ahhh,..good old chinese steel ,.hahaha !!!
Yep.
is u giving out free dirt bike cr125 I want one
them boys are way too tall in this video for these.. should have gotten them on some 125cc actual dirt bikes!!!
Nice but he granny shifts
NEVER USE CARB CLEANER TO CLEAN A CARBURETOR.....Use a torch tip cleaner to clear jets then blow it out with a air compressor....NEVER USE CARB CLEANER IT WILL EAT GASKETS,DIAFRAMS,O-RINGS.......
or just use electronic cleaner! eh
