I did this made no difference. I think for what I'm doing won't work I think this carbs to big. 5hp Honda clone on a mini bike, just kind of hobbled it together and got this carb. It had a lot of suggestions and they said it would work not quite sure why I have a dead spot I have adjusted every screw honor all the way up and all the way down makes no difference it's still idles very high with a dead spot on that throttle. I was thinking I wonder if I could restrict the intake a little bit of the carb because when I hold my hand over the carb with a slight gap it has power it has throttle response.i can't ride at and 😂 hold my hand there got to figure out a way to make it work.
@@rogerbarlow2333 I have a friend who did the same thing but instead he made his own air box and made the opening small and increased the size little by little
U do know u have to tune carburetors right? The air screw u turned to adjust that carb only changes AFR or adjusts the carb at idle to 1/8 throttle. When u open throttle 100% an it runs right is pure luck
Yes I have a full video on how to tune carbs this is mainly for people who buy them new and don’t understand how they work and just put them on their bike it’s a question I have been asked probably at least 100 times I figured most people would have seen my in depth video of how to tune a carburetor but there are a million videos on RU-vid and search terms probably get lost in translation
@@barrettwhatley4857 bros not out here with a MSD and a laptop, we’re just trying to have fun on the bikes we build. I put a pop and crackle tune on my preadator by running it a little Rich and now she throws flames like a bat out of hell
Have you ever dealt with backfires? I don’t see it in any video titles. I have an ssr 125 with a brand new carb and spark plug. It starts right up, runs for 45 seconds then backfires and dies. Any thoughts? Thanks so much
I have tried 3 carburetors and my bike still backfires like a Jiffy Popcorn Popper. Maybe it's a lemon, just can't get it to run right no matter how much the carb is adjusted. ZERO confidence for taking it out on the trails, as it barely drives down the street.
I just recently bought a carb on Amazon, however the choke lever has a spring that keeps it on the off position, is there any way to lock it in the on position while my bike warms up?
I know you can order mikuni jets online for the nibbi I have ordered a jet kit but for the mikuni one I have not I run the stock jetting it came with I have a video I am posting in 24 hours that will help a lot of people out
Probably replace it with a different carburetor it sounds like that one you can't even maintain "take off bowl and clean it out" get a cheap 15-35 dollar carburetor and it might run wayyyyy better
Just installed a vm22 on my ssr125. I put it in a 110 main jet. The air/fuel screw is out 2 and a half turns and is backfiring and not idling right....any suggestions?
@@throttlefamily4655 ok they way it seemed was u adjusted it and didn't tell anyone but it's cool just orded one ill ill adjust it 1 turn and 3/4 out and see what happens hopefully it'll work out these stock carbs been lasting only weeks they junk
@@getitdone361 definitely agree I was getting so mad every time I pulled in the clutch mine would die and my nibbi I have to adjust every time I take it out to go ride the mikuni knock off is a lot better
@@throttlefamily4655 sweet sweet I really appreciate the recommendation much needed not my ssr u bought it last year brand new for my nefew but I'm tired of replacing carbs it's not hard but gets old and expensive to doing it every week or 2 lol
Better yet buy an extended mixture screw. They are about 10 bucks and you can adjust it on the fly to perfection. A jet kit and pilot jets will maximize it if you know what youre doing.
I have a question (I'm new to this all) so the hole where my intake pipe should fit on my bike is 28 mm, can i place a 26 mm intake pipe on that or do I need something to place between it?
Carburetor still won't work for me! Even tried buying Keihin jets but they don't fit! Apparently have to buy a $105 genuine VM22 which people say the jets fit in.
So bro, I put this carb on my ssr110. Bike is so hard to start. Won’t start with choke on and takes about 60 kicks to pop off without choke. Fuel mix screw is backed out 1 1/2 turns and idle air screw is almost not even adjustable once I get the bike going. Turning the screw all the way in vs backing the screw all the way out makes no difference. What the hell is going on
I recently installed a mikuni carb on my pit bike and ever since the exhaust glows red. Is it running abit to lean?? Ps and my spark plug is like a white colour
Where did you get the jets? I’ve seen a lot of people saying they can’t find the correct ones. If cleaning doesn’t help I’m going to need to order some jets.
Sounds like you may need a bigger pilot jet but before your do that take carb cleaner and clean the pilot jet sometimes these have metal shavings from the factory make sure you can see daylight threw them before reinstalling them that should fix your problem
Hey I have a ssr 125 with this carb on it, did everything you did but it dies whenever I turn the choke off, I took the carb abojt cleaned it. Same thing
Finally figured it out! The pilot jet was partially clogged, cleaned it out with a metal wire and bam! Have you heard this yet? Apparently they can come partially clogged from the factory according to some forums I’ve read.
@@throttlefamily4655 since they’re not genuine carbs they can have some blockage in the jets fresh from the box...not a big deal though you can remedy that with a strand of copper wire or something similar
Hey I have a question, I bought a pit bike & a new carb, can you tell me what should I do with the hose that come with the stock air filter? Because the new air filter don’t have a stop for the hose. Please I watched all your pit bike vids but you don’t show what you do with that hose, if you could help me I’d really appreciate it.
Hey. Can you make a video of you adjusting it or somebody and send it to me. Im having trouble doing it. And your hand is in the way and I’m like lost. If you can that would be amazing.🙏
You should try a nibbi 26. I have the same specs as you and tried a vm24 and vm26. The nibbi is so much better. Like night and day. The jets it came with worked perfect. I spent so much time with the mikuni jets. It was so frustrating. I wish I would've known about nibbi to start with.
My carb leaks from the overflow on bottom pretty bad in going to try compressed air through it if it don't fix it I'll take it apart n c what's wrong.UPDATE I sprayed compressed air both ways through drain line and gas line then it didn't help so I checked my float valve and it had a piece of bark in it cleaned it out with brake clean and it works like new again no leaking gas. The float valve was sticking
Mine is dying and cutting off when I switch gears it will get going in first gear but when I go to second gear it cuts off or it loses power and I have to instantly switch back to first gear and pull the clutch in to stop it from dying it will idle but it won't go in second gear and above it just clonks out its mind bottling is it the jetting does it need to be clean before putting on because it's brand new and I did a spark plug test each spark plug has a carbon build up letting me know its running to rich if you have any info it will be very much appreciated and another thing I don't need to use the choke or the fuel enricher or whatever you want to call it to start the bike even when it's cold out like 40 degrees in temperature im pretty sure that's an issue because unless its hot out everyone I've seen in videos always use the choke to start it I feel like that's an issue please help
I did this but put mine at 1 and a half turn out and it's still cutting out. I even dropped the needle the the bottom clip position and it helped some but still is stalling out but not as bad
Thanks for the very helpful videos. Just a few words of advice: before slapping on the Mikuni knock-off, you should take it apart and clean out the pilot jet. Mine was clogged shut from the factory. Also, the air/fuel mixture adjustment was way off along with my idle screw. These carbs are not ready to shred right out of the box. Give these some attention and for the most part you’ll be good.👍🏾
My ssr 125 has a chock cable by left brake lever and goes to my stock Carb . Where does this go when the new carb doesn’t have the slot to put cable into
Same problem to my motor bike, new carburetor mikuni vm26 that ive fixed to honda cg 125 and the problem is idle is good but little acceleration engine does or engine off..i already adjust air and gas in the needle but nothing happens still engine dies
Is that bottom screw your idle screw? My 125 Will run fine once you get going but as soon as I stop it shuts off, I’ve twisted it all the way in and out and still it shuts off and won’t hold idle
So mine idles great in neutral throttle is snappy no bogging but as soon as i put in gear & give it some throttle then it bogs spits & sputters any ideas? I would really appreciate it as i have spent around 6 hours trying to get it dialed in to no avail. Thanks
@@roryrobertson8073 weirddd. I’m no expert, but my buddy said clean out the jets, and if that doesn’t work, to just get a new carb. Not super spendy so I will probably go that route. My girls bike bogs down when shifting gears, then you get a whole handful of throttle out of no where. Spent a whole day cleaning, and messing with the Air, fuel mixture but nothing changed. My girls super bummed, as she rode it once
I still have the stock carb on it though. Piranha 140cc motor, so could just need a new carb for my case, maybe new jets for your bike wouldn’t be a bad idea.
чтобы регулировать винт снизу нет необходимости снимать карбюратор, нужно использовать биту шлицевой отвёртки, если вам неудобно крутить биту - наденьте на биту кусочек шланга, это простой и проверенный способ.
I have an ssr 125 2021 and it sputters and stuff when I’m in gear. It sputters when you just give it gas and then it’s fine after that but why do you think it sputters only when I’m in gear?
