Bullet Standard 500 carburettor Adjustment setting / tuning 

Hi Frank, thank you for your positive comments. Carb setting is a very simple process so nothing should go wrong if done correctly. I have also written a detailed tutorial on some issues that might arise with improper carb setting and how to rectify it. Please go the the link below to know more enfieldmaintenance.blogspot.in/2016/03/bullet-standard-500-carburetor-ucd33.html

Trishant Shetty what accurate mileage u get in city from 500

Thanks Ramesh. Your positive comments keep me motivated to make more videos. I have not being posting videos past few weeks as I was in leh. Expect a flurry of videos now that I am back. 👍

+Enfield Performance Welcome back, hope u had a great trip. I had posted a query on your web page, can you kindly provide me you opinion/advice please. that would be so helpful. cheers.

+Ramesh M hey ramesh. can you send the link where you have posted the query. will try my best to answer it.

+Enfield Performance please see here enfieldmaintenance.blogspot.in/2016/03/bullet-standard-500-carburetor-ucd33.html?m=1

Hi Darren, have you tried the setting as provided in the video? Would like to know your views.

+Enfield Performance man i tried the way u showed us in the video . . . and it turns out my carb achieves highest rpm at 6 half turns from fully closed position . . . it remains constant till 11 half turns and then at 12 half turns it drops and i have been setting it at 12 . . . but if i go with 6 the engines gets heated up too soon and it kinda runs outta juice while ripping it . . . i can climp uphill at 110kms per hr on 12 turns but cant cross 90 uphill on 6 turns

+Enfield Performance i do know if that i will be missing out on the mileage if im.keeping it double than what the bull needs but im pretty happy with the performance and yea also the deep bass thump at 12 half turns is kinda amazing . . . so tried both ur way and my way but liking my way but did understood alot of basics via ur video really appreciate it man good job 👍

Hi anant , my tachometer is connected to the alternator. Since alternator gives out a spark for every rotation of the engine by measuring the spark you can measure the rpm. Any competent auto electrician should be able to hook it up.

with stock exhaust no need to jet your carbs.

hope this helps. enfieldmaintenance.blogspot.in/2016/03/bullet-standard-500-carburetor-ucd33.html

Hi bhupendra. If you are able to identify the pilot screw and the idle screw properly then you can use this method to tune almost all carb driven motorcycles.

Hi Aditya, I am myself not very good at Bullet electricals so would not be able to explain the DIY of tachometer installation. However I can tell you this much that the wire from the tachometer is connected to the alternator. In Delhi you can purchase it from chawla auto spares. If you want to purchase online you can get it from royalenfieldzone.com

sure Harjot, however it might take some time as I will have to find someone willing to lend it to me first. Anyways will keep this request in mind.

Hi Rishi, I am afraid I don't understand your question. If you are asking whether you want to test it on different number of turns to check which on is best. yes you can try doing it. just don't ride too long. As a lean setting if ridden too long can harm the engine by heating it up and a rich setting can soot and foul up the spark plugs.

just making a little adjustment towards aout beow half leaner can do harm.

half a turn above the optimum setting should be fine. half a turn below the optimum setting if it is not heating the engine too much should also be good.

Hi Vignesh, for leh ladakh this setting would work out. in case you feel hiccups on the mountains you can choose to make it half turn leaner. This video I mainly aimed at Bullet however if you get the concept you can apply to any carbureted motorbike.

Sandesh kini The misfiring in free flow silencers happens due to EGR pipe. It is specially pronounced when you are down throttling. The easy solution is to block the EGR pipe as mentioned in the usage tips in the blog enfieldperformance.blogspot.in/2015/11/red-rooster-performance-exhaust-review.html

Can you please confirm after effect on blocking/closing the ERG. Also Today i was trying to block but the hole is too big to be blocked by ball baring. Can you give some light. Or tomorrow i will be using close head nut to block it. Need info if there is any issue after closing it. I have STD 500 Mash grey model. Also i have order tachometer from Enfieldzone. can you share detail video on connection. if you can share via whatsaap will be good, i believe edinting video will take time 7303423456.

Sandesh kini Hi bro if you do not have ball bearing you can even bloxk with a nut no issues. it will stop the misfires.

Sandesh kini Hey bro. this method wont stop misfires. your bullet is misfiring as ur silencer is free flow and does not create enough back pressure for the EGR to work properly. you will need to bloxk the EGR with a ball bearing or nut for it to stop misfiring

thanks for the reply bro...will try to do so...

old machine push rod-system poor quality of sapres=old bullet, despite of all the earlier bullet riding is good with the very special beating but this new UCE engine is totally faulty ,stay way from efi engines

Bvin Goswami hey buddy, I only own standard 500. so can only show work on it. the process though for any carb related bike will be the same.

Thanks for your instant reply but unable to do it on my own

No idea bro. I bought this tachometer from Karol Bagh. It connects to the alternator and gives out reading based on the number of sparks.

does it give exact reading? what is the idling rpm u get?

It is pretty accurate. I get an idling between 900~1000.

thanks bro....

jackon18 sure bro. will put on my list

I checked most of the videos shows doesn't how to connect a tachometer... I tried to connecting it to the negative side of the ignition coil... Still failed with my std500... Wil wait for ur video

jackon18 haven't made it yet. will need some time to review and make it.

Enfield Performance :) will wait

Hi any update about about this... I'm still waiting for the video

Yes. Works the same way. After you do it a couple of times, you'll be able to do it instinctively even without a tach.

hi ashwani follow the instructions and fix it yourself. get detailed description here enfieldmaintenance.blogspot.in/2016/03/bullet-standard-500-carburetor-ucd33.html

The knocking will go with better tunning right?

+ashwani lamba Hi ashwani. please read the detailed guide it has a point about engine knocking too. In case still it does not go away there might be another problem which you'll have to get checked.

karthik sk Hi it just means that packing material or gasket in one of the sides has worn out. You can have it refit from a mechanic.

Hi terrydeep. The procedure for tuning both the carbs are similar. if you can send me a pic of your carb I can help you identify the screws that are involved.

+Enfield Performance after tuning the carb myself, water droplets gets out from the silencer. Is it the right tuning?

+Terrydepp Caleeta it is the best type of tuning.

+Enfield Performance Thank you bro

Not at all Harjot, I encourage all constructive feedbacks for my betterment. I hear you when you say that videos should be made in Hindi. However these videos are seen by people abroad as well and I want them to be able to understand me too. Let me find out some way to attach Hindi audio separately in existing RU-vid videos. Might be that would be a viable solution.

The theory remains the same for almost any motorcycle.

yes

26-28 kmpl in city. highway I keep forgetting to chk mileage as I am having too much fun riding. :p

hey bro. Seems to be the problem with idle screw. There is nothing to be afraid of. Just note the thread as shown in the video and in case you want to be extra careful mark one of the knobs of the idle screw with a marker. Then start the engine and turn the idle screw Eicher till the engine stops stalling at idle.

bro i have tuned the engine but now want to set the idle rpm so i got a tach hour meter... what it should be set on the tachometer like 01 RPM or 02 RPM ???? its a CL350cc single cylinder 4 stroke twinspark 01 for (spark plug fires twice per revolution) 02 (once per revolution) 03 (every other revolution) 04 (hour only will not display rpm) the default for the sandard model is 02 (once per revolution) i am confused on what to set it 01 or 02 ?

Paresh Vaktania It is 02. Though even without tachometer you can set idle. Just keep turning it till you fell the engine is about to stall. stop right there and the idle is set.

thanks a lot bro...

Paresh Vaktania check for the air tube if it got disconnected or damaged.. it will be below the tank

Thank you Harjot for your frank comment. Professionally as a designer and a photographer most of my work happens behind the camera. Due to this I am a tad nervous when I am put before the lens. Additionally while I am handling the manual work and speaking, I also have to handle the camera and mic. Which shows in the video. Through these videos, while I am trying to help the Bullet Brotherhood, I am also trying to help myself get better in speaking in front of the camera. So here's hoping for better quality videos in the future.
