Kawasaki KX500 - New Keihin PWK 38mm Air Striker Carburetor (First Start) 

Thanks for feedback, that carb is very good. Nice, what graphics you get for KX250 -98.. Original is pretty cool and simple.

@@ArmathuX I got the FLU designs pro team series 4 graphics trying to restore it I got a new shock linkage kit new tires new back fender and all new graphics new chain and sprockets and primary drive chain guide when I bought it it already had a FMF burly which is a older pipe but I guess they are good for low-end kind of like the gnarly is now next I would like to get a flywheel weight cuz I do a lot of Trail and stuff

Never know I might test some day

💩💩💩💩💩💩👺

Put a jd jetting kit in it. Problem solved

Best carb for KX500 :)

Do they even make a lectron for that model of kx500

@@lexprue yes they do you can get lectron for just about anything

@@ArmathuX how i do solve the problem of carbuter when i leave it in home outpouring some gasoline. Are all kawassaki motorcycle the same? (KAWASSAKI KDX 200 1995) THANK YOU❤️❤️

@@lexprue Yes, they do. Technology Elevated also can make a SmartCarb SC2 custom made for basically any bike as well. I have a 40mm SC2 on my CR500R and it's the best $700 I've ever spent on a bike hands down. The throttle response is so good that it feels like a fuel injected bike. I plan to make more videos on it soon maybe with an exhaust sound comparison between the Pro Circuit 304 and the FMF Powercore 2 since I haven't seen any videos on RU-vid that compare between the two on the 500 and possibly a Q&A on the bike mods. Right now it's too hot outside where I live to be recording videos. lol

old was worn out, jetting is now rich on high rpm (anyway low-mid huge difference)

Just because old was worn out.. runs now much better

@@ArmathuX Got ya. What website did you order it from?

@@ArmathuX What jetting are you running in the new PWK?

@@keithpeterson3447 just run a jd jetting kit for your year make and model bike. Shows you in the instruction what jets and needle to use and what position on the clip. I bought the carb he’s using and jd jetting kit. Jd jetting sells the carb and kit for 360. My cr500 runs so crisp now

@@blanchard899 👍

My KDX has that, i think the float height is set too high causing it to leak out of the overflow. also the fuel tap apparently doesnt seal when its off so guessing that needs new seals aswel

@@equalizer4633 thank you for your reply. So they are all like that

@@sardamsardar it's not normal to have gas leaking from the carb. Your float needle is not sealing. Replace the float needle (they come in carb rebuild kit). Also polish the seat where the needle bottoms out to cut off gas flow. Use something like Brasso brass polish on a cotton swab (qtip) and twist that in the bottom of the hole. It will scrub off any deposits that are getting between the needle and seat. Don't change your float height unless you're going by what the manual says to set it to.

@@equalizer4633 if your float height is too high the engine will run super rich. Lowering the float height in a good running bike is a bad idea. Look at Michael Sabo's recent video where he did that to his TRX250R and burned the piston from running way too lean.

Genuine Keihin.

On my 2015 125 I have a 175 main not sure about pilot jet I would go down to a 180 jet and try it

Also you pilot jet can be too big if it won’t pull from the bottom. Drop the needle height by one try if that doesn’t work put it back and change the jets

@@rosselliott7375 thanks, but problem was stuck closed power valve. I cleaned it but it seems to need new piston too :D

@@rosselliott7375 it pulls really nice just like 4 stroke when starting but it dont open valve so it bogs.

Should be 40mm but KXGURU Racing says that carb is best for KX500 (38mm Keihin PWK Air Striker)

Read your manual. Most recommend 32:1 or 40:1.

Charles Gunzelman i usually do 50:1 but i decided to add more oil so it probably ended up being like 40:1 and my bike was smoking a lot more

Motul 32:1 is best. Always run a two stroke a little richer.. Better to foul a plug then to blow up your bike. Only time you will ever foul a plug is if your doing like trail riding or scared of the bike and ride it like a old man... Keep it in the power and that's never an issue.

Cane Corso haha i know what u mean, btw 32:1 would be considered leaner because there is less fuel and more oil, it’s weird, 50:1 is not too bad, but i tried 40:1 and it was smoking a whole lot more, spark plugs are like 3-5 euro anyway

Yep its good carb. (Genuine Keihin)

@@ArmathuX not from eBay Didn’t know it was genuine

because you have to find sweet spot on big 500cc engine to kick it.. 250 feels like 50 after 500 two stroke

on 2 stroke, before engine turned on and idle, there need momentum before fuel goes to piston combustion

Sama.

ArmathuX Onko vakionakin PWK? Eli litteäluistinen?

mulla on normit välitykset n 140~ jääratavälityksillä jotain 175+

@@ArmathuX joo

It's where everyone has long hair and listens to Death and Black Metal a.k.a. Scandinavia :-)

In Finland of course
