Jakub. If your not using this carb on a go kart engine like we do, then you could use a lower float level as the engine is not as stressed as when we use them in racing conditions where Wide Open Throttle (WOT) is used predominantly. Common factory settings for the float level is approximately 22.5mm. That should be good float level for a street bike. Also too, you can adjust the idle quality with the air bleed screw (flat blade screw at the front side of carb on the angle). Set this at 3 turns out from closed. Then you should be able to close the throttle slide/idle screw to bring down the idle speed without the bike stalling. Hope this helps. Derek

Hi, in the last week, I have just about watched every one of your videos and have learnt so much in such a short time. Thank you for your easy to understand tutorials. Just in reference to an earlier question, I am trying to get an older 2009 Rotax max senior 125 Kart going after it's been sitting for a number of years. I have just recently acquired the cart so unsure how it was running previously. I suspect that the Kart was lightly used as there are no wear marks on the chassis underneath. The bore still has cross hatching and the piston is not scored. It has plenty of compression. I changed the spark plug, air filter, a kit through the fuel pump, thoroughly cleaned the carb as per this video, I did not change the needle and seat as there was plenty of spring left and the float was moving up and down freely. I adjusted the mixture screw to 2 turns out, Needle clip 3, adjusted the float to 23.5mm, changed the fuel lines and fuel filter, mixed the rotax oil / fuel ratio to 25ml /litre,. My understanding is that these old carbs run from 158 - 165 jets. A 165 jet was in the carb when cleaning and it also had the restrictor in the exhaust. I have now removed the restrictor. The engine started straight away and sounds OK but but would cut out every now and again like the idle was a little low. The idle at 1800rpm by ear sounded a little low to me. The idle and mixture screw make no difference when adjusting and there it seemed to be more smoke coming from the exhaust the longer it was running like there was unburnt fuel in the exhaust. There was also a little oil leaking from the header / exhaust connection when running. I tried a 152 jet but still can't adjust the mixture or idle screw. If I turn the screws in or out, it makes no difference. It was a cold day in Sydney today so the temperature of the Kart only came up to 25 degrees. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Correct me if I'm wrong.....but a higher measurement float setting is actually a lower float level and therefore a leaner float setting.....not a richer setting as mentioned in the video
@PowerRepublic
@PowerRepublic 5 лет назад
correct my friend. In the video we are upside down which can throw you/me off. The higher the measurement i.e 24mm the richer the float level. The lower the measurement i.e 23mm the leaner the float level. Sorry if that's a little confusing. you can also measure up from the float bowl sealing face too eg 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm using some Allen key or feeler gauges .

Hi Jarren, thanks for the positive vibes! I would clean the fuel out the carb after each use and leave it stored empty. You can take the bowl off and blow it out too and that way it is good to go for your next use. Also too, we will add your suggestion for a maintenance video to the list.

@JakubKlubkoSmejkal 7 лет назад
What is the basic setting for the slide adjust screw? I'm just fitting VHSB 38 carb. on my motorcycle VOR 503 and when I start the bike, the engine seems to be heating up very quickly (much faster and more than usual) on only idle. The idle is quite high compared to previous PHM 38 carb., sometimes it fires into exhaust. Then when I try to lover the idle RPM, by unscrewing the slide screw, the engine starts to lose RPM quickly, so I have to give it a little gas, the RPM rises and then it slowly descends on some constant RPM. So far I couldn't recognize if it's rich or lean from the color of the spark plug, as it's black as it always used to be with previous carb. I’ll check and reset the float level. That’s a good information from the video, thanks for it.

@PowerRepublic
@PowerRepublic 7 лет назад
Troy Kubler asked where to measure the float level from. Freeze the video at 1.43sec and you can see the verniers on top of the needle jet (where the main jet screws into) and measure down until the verniers depth gauge touches the float lever. Measure both side and make them the same. 23mm is lean, 23.5mm is good all rounder and 24.0mm is rich. You can run more or less as your set up requires.
@IggySport1388
@IggySport1388 7 лет назад
hi, can you explain how to decipher when to use lean or rich on the float height setting? so when for instance would you use the 23mm setting and when the 24mm setting
@PowerRepublic
@PowerRepublic 7 лет назад
Christopher Ramnauth Sure can. 23 mm is lean and I would use it when it is raining. The engine isn't as 'loaded' off the corners, there is a lot of moisture in the air and the engines run cooler because of water spray cools the radiator better. Then 23.5 is standard starting position. If you put your foot on the throttle and there is a hesitation/no throttle response, then the float level or needle position is too lean. So then I would go 0.5mm richer on the float level (i.e from 23mm increase to 23.5mm or 23.5mm increase to 24.0mm) If you come off a corner and put you foot on the throttle and the engine splutters and hesitates to go (and goes better when you stomp on the accelerator) then the float level is too rich and I would lean it off 0.5mm (i.e from 24.0mm adjust to 23.5mm) I hope this helps. Thanks for the question Derek
@IggySport1388
@IggySport1388 7 лет назад
thanks for the swift reply derick, understood on what you said... but how do you decide if to change the float level or move the needle clip position? both from what you're saying can solve the same problem so how do you know if to leave the float level alone and adjust the needle clip richer/leaner or vice versa?
@PowerRepublic
@PowerRepublic 7 лет назад
Christopher Ramnauth the float level is not as subtle is the needle. Use the needle for fine tuning. You will have experiment with it as it is driver specific.

Hi Rodrigo, There is no magic solution for any jet of any carb, it is always a combination of elements (weather, driver, gearing, track, elevation etc) that decide the jetting. 9300 rpm is okay for Mircromax as the exhaust restricts the engine from reving much past 10000 rpm.

what changes are needed to this carb if running on the aprilia rs125?
@PowerRepublic
@PowerRepublic 5 лет назад
I would start with a bit less float level and then ride your bike around for a bit to see what changes are needed. The difference for a road bike to a go kart (assuming your talking about a 125 road bike that is), is that the go karts have only one gear and very sticky tyres without a differential. This makes the go kart engine work very hard around corners and under acceleration off corners. What this means is that us go-karters racers use richer jet settings than the equivalent motor bike, especially if your not racing your bike and more use in on the street and not the track. Are you having any specific tuning issues with your engine?

Hi, have not fitted to the engine yet...I was aware that the 34vhsb carb on motorcycles was a different configeration to the rotax max variant which goes by the code vhsb34QD the QD code must denote rotax max application?? anyway, I know the carbs may use different floats and needles also?? I have a few of these rotax max carbs lying around and was also dabbling with using them on a yamaha TZ250 v-twin in a social stockman superkart. It would be usual to use 36mm or 38mm mikuni carbs on that engine...but I don't have any, and several karter prefer dellorto carbs on twin engines as they claim to find them easy to tune. Would you think that one could just re-jet rotax max carbs from an older pre-evo engine(VHSB34QD ??) to work ok on a TZ-250? or would I be wasting my time?
@PowerRepublic
@PowerRepublic 5 лет назад
I haven't done that myself, but at the end of the day its just a carb with holes and jets so I don't see why not. If you have some carbs and a lambda sensor, you should be able to test and tune it either on the road or on a dyno. Maybe they are easier to tune because they are 2mm-4mm smaller than the standard mikuni carbs?

@RacerSONGHARIM 6 лет назад
Hello~! Let me ask you a question. I have recently encountered the Rotax Micro engine. As the weather got warmer, the engine power went down. I would like to change the setting. I want to know the standard of the float level. If it rains with 23.5mm standard, you say 23mm. So if the weather is hot, should it increase to 24mm? Do I need to reduce the humidity as the humidity increases? Should I increase? Is that right? And what settings can help you increase engine torque?
@PowerRepublic
@PowerRepublic 6 лет назад
Hi there. Thanks for your question. Once you have the correct float level for you and your engine, then you should just be able to adjust the main jet for humidity changes and temperature. So as a general rule when the humidity is high, you would go down jets and when it is dry you go up jets, however, there is a point where this rule no longer applies and the best way to know what that point is is by experimenting in the different weather conditions. Hope this helps.
@RacerSONGHARIM
@RacerSONGHARIM 6 лет назад
So, for example, on the basis that other conditions are right ... If the humidity is high, the oil level goes down to 23mm => 22.5mm If the humidity is low, the oil level goes up to 23mm => 23.5mm Do you mean you can get the setting under the theory of being right? Or is the height of the oil more sensitive to temperature than humidity? I want to know the standard for determining the height of the oil surface.
@PowerRepublic
@PowerRepublic 6 лет назад
yes that is correct. once set to your liking you should be able to change the main jet for the humidity variations
@RacerSONGHARIM
@RacerSONGHARIM 6 лет назад
I did not want the answer, but I appreciate the answer. I will take the standard and test it. Some mechanics say that the main nozzle is standard but the oil level is the most important, so I wanted to know the standard of oil level adjustment according to the weather. Cold days, hot days, humid days and dry days. I will test it first. Thank you very much. Let me ask you one more thing. If there is a lot of fuel in the carburetor What problems do you encounter?

@@PowerRepublic thanks for the super quick reply! As I'm relatively new to the world of karting and from advice of others, I was lead to believe if it was bogging/dying out of slow corners it would be running too rich down low? Other ways to adjust this, other than float level? Thanks.

Hi, I measure from the bottom of the brass needle jet (with the main jet removed) to the top of the float levers.

Hi Barry. Great question. Yes that's how they come from Rotax. Its a breather hose with the split in the centre. If we ran the hoses down to under the carb like they do on Dirt Bikes, we would have oil and fuel on the race track.

hi Derek. thanks for all your videos, I've learned a lot. I've got a Rotax Max 125 running restricted. I've got an issue, where seemingly based only on throttle input, the engine cuts out. So I will have throttle approx 50% down, it runs smoothly and quite well, then past a particulary point, it basically stops running. Any advice on what this could be? Originally I had an issue where I lost the top end (that last bit of power in the rev range which changes the sound of the motor) - then I took carby apart like in this video, cleaned it, then I had this new issue where it seems based on throttle. Any ideas? Thanks. Wally

just to add, the kart is only 10 hours old. I have not done much servicing on it. I checked the power valve, this seems to be moving fine.

Derek - I've since realised I did not 'unwind' the air bleed screw 4x half turns. Do you think this is what could be causing the issue? I've fixed it now - yet to take to track to test.

Hey Wally, yeah I reckon that could be it. especially if you have introduced a new problem. If you are using a Rotax EVO carb and Engine, set the floats at 23.5mm, 1.5 turns open for the air bleed, 120 main jet, and clip 2 or 3 on the needle. That should get you started.

hey Derek - just to follow up on this, we took carby apart, nothing else looked wrong - put it back together and corrected the air screw. went out Sunday, it ran very well. thanks for your replies.
