Cleaning a scooter carburetor 

Great vid, helped me get my scooter running again after 2 years stored. You explain things very well, thanks!

This is the first video that made me feel confident about carburetors - Fantastic teacher! Thankyou!

Ty for all the helpful information. Especially the part near the end when you mention revving quick, or long and stalling and how it needs to be more lean or rich depending on whether it bogs down on those types of revs.

Do exactly as he says and it will work. Cleaned my "Coolster F5" carb and it worked right away. Excellent teacher.

Thanks a lot for making this tutorial. I am having some issues with my scooter and was not feeling very confident about tackling a carb clean but after watching you work, I Feel confident to give it a shot.

Thank you for a brilliant tutorial, the step by step instructions were easy to follow, my scooter runs perfectly now 👍

Just wanted to say thank you. I "Cleaned" my carb before watching your video. Still wouldn't run. Your example of cleaning the jet with a small wire (I used guitar string) saved me. It was plugged, and it would not run. Now it runs like a charm. Thanks for putting this out there. It really helped.

Great vid! That was exactly my problem, pilot jet clogged! Thanks for making and sharing.

Hi!!! My dad (older and retired) has a 1995 Honda Helix and he has been trying to get it to run for months and wasn't successful.....until he watched your video and cleaned the carb. He said the scooter runs better than it ever has!! Thank you so much for your help!!

Outstanding video ! Thank you much for posting, helped me fix my sons 50.

This was a great video. You did a great job of explaining things. You covered the two and a half turns on the idle screw. This was key. Thankyou my friend.

Good video, you covered a lot of things. I liked the way you went over how to un-cap the idle screw and adjust it. Thanks

Y'alls videos are better then a legit Tech School's lessons

Thank you for the excellent video! Now I have the confidence to tackle my GY6 carb for the 150cc engine :)

Great explanation on the teardown. I didnt realise that you could drill out that brass cap. Thanks a million!!

What a GREAT video, one of the best and most informative I've watched!

Extremely informative, especially concerning the throttle screw drill out!! Thanks!!

I'm just starting to work on my scooter.. i mostly have one of my friends to work on it, but after watching this video + your other videos i'm begining to feel confident.. two thumbs up 👍👍

Amazing video....i cleaned everything & checked under the floater as well....clean that ho ho ho as well.....put back together & baam....like brand new....cost me 10$ instead of 80$ from a mechanic....thanks again....

Thanks for this video. Preparing to clean my scooters carburetor this weekend. Seeing this really helps understand the procedure.

WOW, the best instructive video about carbs so far , thx a lot man , greetings form Egypt

I couldn’t believe I couldn’t find a single descent video on how to clean a carb on a Vespa. Thankfully came across this. THANK YOU

by far the best tutorial on youtube

One of the best carb practical videos on YT for sure ! I've helped my self learning about carbs and carb components and how to clean it with this video, made a good over all clean few months ago, today i wanted to ride my scooter after it's been sitting for a while and of course, it didn't fire at first. then i remembered you saying in this video about how cleaning the pilot jet is enough, i didn't have all the tools prepared only a wrong sized flat screw from a leatherman that actually broke and damaged my pilot jet head, a garabge screw driver that stripped one of the philips screws and carb spray, anyways cleaned it and managed to fire my engine back again right away ! !

Thanks for the video. It is a great help. I have (2) 2007 Honda Elite 80 cc. Both scooters have less than 160 miles each. I watched this video and got 1 of them running today by following your advice. I will tackle the other carb tonight. Pilot jet was clogged and I made sure all the passageways were clear with air comp... Its time to part with them, just want to have them running great. Thanks Again

Thanks for putting this together, lots of great information here!

The best GY6 Scooter Carb video I have ever seen.,! Thank you soooooo much My Dudes..! 🙏

Extremely informative thank you.

Excellent detail to specificity

thanks boss, I effortlessly got through the whole vid

I watched a few videos mainly looking for info on the idle circuit and none of them dove into this type of detail. Thanks so much, fixing a scooter my brother bought. I'm sure he will be thanking you too. Thanks again!

Thank you for a very informative and helpful video.

Thanks helps alot thought I had to buy new carb for my jonway 150cc

Great step by step teaching. Thanks!!

This video is excellent. Very well done. Thank you!!!

Excellent tutorial ❤

Perfect concise lots of detail thank you

I also, in addition to everything you did here and this was a wonderful explanation, I placed a brand new fuel filter on the fuel line. It was a shock to find green mold growing inside the filter I'd installed just a month ago. Man these things can be problematic. Never put anything but pure new gas in there, never.

VERY GOOD VIDEO WILL TRY IT OUT AS MY BIKE HAVE CARB ISSUES SPECIALLY COLD START IN THE MORNING

Very clear instructions my friend... Thank you...👍🙏

Yipeee. I did it. The thing is working now.

great video this gives my enough confidence to do it myself

Mate ur video is amazing was bout to call a professional then see this tryed it and working perfectly thanks so much

Great video. I wish I saw this 3 hours ago.

Great job on this video! It is fantastic!

Absolutely awesome video, thank you

Excellent video!

Dude great video. I have a GY6 150cc. I need to clean soon because its not starting. I will try to clean the carburetor to see if it fully starts up. This is so helpful.

thank you so much for the vid. this helps alot!!!

Best video on yt, thanks!

Amazing video! Thanks a lot

Very! nice job taking everyone through the carb clean. Thank you

Great video dude thanks .......

Nice work

Bond the carb to the chassis. put swollen gaskets in oven @ 200° for @ 10min. or leave in direct sunlight for 20min.

Great informative video man!🤘🏽🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for the vid. I can't tell you how it saved me. That #35 jet was plugged on mine and it wouldn't idle. Thought it was clear, but nope. Did the wire trick and carb cleaner/air blast. All good now.

Thank you.. very nice and easy to understand.

Great video! Cleaning out the pilot jet and the mixture jet circuit did the trick. Also, adjusting the mixture screw 2 turns helped the idle out so much. My scooter would start but only idle for a 5-7 seconds before dying. It had been sitting for 5 months over the winter. The scooter is a Lance PCH 125.

great content. Thank you.

Great video-- helped me a lot ---thanks

Bro thank you so much your a life savor

Great job w the video

Bravoo,bravoo....un video foarte bun :)

I don't have a compressed air pump, but I did work around it with a bicycle foot pump with one of the conical attachments for inflating pool toys. I put the attachment into one end of a short carb hose and put the other end onto the pilot jet. Then I was able to blow out the blockage.

that was extremely helpful....thanks a lot!

Great vid

Thanks for the detailed info. I just bought my first moped off FB Marketplace 2019 with a rusted out gas tank. Wish me luck

Fantastic mate thank you.

Great work!

Very helpful, thank you! My scooter's float somehow managed to get half full with fuel despite no visible holes and no drainage after removing.... hell of a thing.

Great video, thanks!!!

Dang thanks! I'm about to start the project of reviving my mom's scooter so I really needed some info on carb cleaning... thanks again

very imformative sir hope to solve my sym jet100 wth carburator problem...tnx again

Nice vid thanks

كبير very good 👊👊👊😉

Ok I've been on here looking for all my scooter problems when they come up or needed for Up-Grades etc...This was the FIRST with a CABO 50 in them. Thank God I understood the video without double watching checking over etc. Cause its my bike lol. Thanks again brother any other videos for future reference??

❤Thanks a lot !

You just made my bike run again 😂😂 thanks

Fantastic video guys! Do wish you went into the diaphram part so I could see the exact order of assembly.

Sounds. Good 👍

Thks I fixed it myself

good job

Verry informative. Could you make a video explanation on the needle and the diaphragm on top of the carb. Does it have to move, how much, how to be sure it's in good shape, etc...

Instead of running your battery down or covering the air box with you hand to fill the float bowl, just pull the vacuum line off the intake manifold and suck in like your hitting a bong 4 or 5 times and the bowl will fill up. Put the vacuum line back on and the bike should fire instantly. Also, if your bike wont start after cleaning the carb check your valves (assuming you have already checked for spark). By the time the gy6 engines get to the 3,000-4,000 mile mark the valves will need to be adjusted. Set them to 0.004" Intake and Exhaust.

You dropped some knowledge. It's much appreciated. . If I bbk to 72 an it was 50. What size jet should I use at basically sea level an does it make sense to put the fuel filter in-between the tank an vacuum pump?

My little Baja adirt bike became hard to start, and wasn't running real good. After about a dozen times of taking it off, cleaning it every which way but loose, and no luck, I went to Amazon and bought a new one for $12. Put it on, and it started on the first pull, and ran like a champ.

thanks a lot ,i did all off that ,but it wont run on iddle keeps wanting to die ,thanks for your help ,really appriciate

thank you

For the O-ring that expands, something else I saw on another video with an expanded cd drive rubber ring is put it in boiling water for a few minutes and that'll shrink it back down

On a 150cc scooter Chinese, how many turns on mixer scew.thank you .keep up with the great videos

Regarding float bowl gasket swelling at 23:36 mark. Try cleaning the gasket with soap and water (e.g. Windex) and rinse with cold water. Then treat the gasket with Prolong Super Protectant PSL60017. The gasket will usually return to its original shape. Treating with Prolong is an optional but recommended step.

Base on my own scooter components replacement record file, I listing them as below: (1) scooter fuel tank use 18661KM (2) scooter spark plug cap use 3535KM (3) scooter fuel filter use 6668KM (4) only those fuel lines I never very detail to check to replace that before! If you have further suggestion, please make me know to fix my trouble here, thanks!

Very informative and super detailed, the only thing I would like to know is how to regulate the gas coming in just as you did at the end of the video, what did you twick last with the manual screwdriver? Cheers mate

Great video. Could a dirty carburetor be the issue if the vespa starts fine when cold but won't start when it's warmed up?

Question, my 2020 49cc wolf islander with 3890.1 miles does not have the power to get from 0 to 40 like it used to, also I had to make it idle higher to keep it from shutting off after letting idle. Things I did to fix but did not work: changed spark plug, fuel filter, air filter, and valve adjustment. Valves were okay. The spark plug was wet oily looking after letting it sit for two days. I am thinking my carburetor might need cleaning or replacement. What is your professional opinion????? Thank you. Someone please help and I thank you.

Wow what a vid

I need to change my carburetor tray. If I remove the carburetor, not moving the adjustment screws will it throw the carburetor out of control. Thks four your excellent video 😊I

Hello! I have a Buddy 50 cc scooter. It runs great except for sometimes it hesitates a little in the sense that it will turn off at strange times when I am going lower speeds or it will not turn on.. In order to get it to turn on I carry a little screw driver and carb cleaner and I will take off the air filter cover and spray the intake with carb cleaner and put it back on. Then I go to start and it starts VERY good. It was just brought to a shop who charge like $200+ for a carburetor cleaning and spark plug replacement. The shop is called Boca Scooters… I am NOT convinced that they did honest work but I don’t know know for sure. I would like to have it turn on normally. (without having to have to spray the carb cleaner every time) I believe that I need to work on the carburetor again or get replaced altogether OR get a valve adjustment. I would like to bring it to a different shop but I don’t know really where to start. Gas is clean, premium used (50CC 2018 Buddy) Carb JUST got cleaned but NOT positive they did honest work…….. Spark plug all new. Where should I start from here?

Hi, it is probably one of the best videos i have seen on the subject. sadly i wasn't able to start my piaggio 50cc 4T..which has the same carburetor. I have a question but i don't know if you still read messages.
