Excellent video and extremely accurate about the ford guys lol! Side note if memory serves correct is the starting point for the fuel air screw 2-1/2 turns out? Im fairly certain this bike I just bought will need a full rebuild.
My throttle has some strange hang time before it comes back to idle. Just replaced the cable with a new one, but still funky. Was hesitant to tear into the carb, but that looked easy enough. Any idea as to why it would hold rev occasionally, but slowly come back to idle? Thanks for the video man.
I would suspect a worn slide or lean engine condition. Lean condition could be caused by poor fuel flow, dirty jets, or incorrect jetting. Unless the cable actually hangs up... Incorrect cable routing can cause a throttle to hang as well. Pull the side cover for the throttle off and make sure that's all moving smooth. Then look into the other things mentioned. If it's running aftermarket pipe and / or intake system that will create a need to be rejetted to deliver more fuel.
@@The.Odyssey what’s strange is I can “clean it out” by revving the bike up quickly to high rpm’s, then it will settle down to idle as normal. Had this issue months ago, then it went away completely for several rides, but now it’s back. I’ll pulled the side off when I replaced the cable, and watched it in action while running and holding the high idle, and it always went back to “0” as soon as I let off, but the rev continued. I’ll pull the bottom and remove the needles like you did. Appreciate the help, man.
This is kind of a random carb question, but is it possible to access the needle jet from the top of the carb while it's still attached to the bike if you loosen the connecting brackets and turn it sideways? Planning a trip with some major altitude changes and might need to drop the needle down mid-ride, hoping it's possible to do so without pulling the whole carb on the trail.
@@The.Odyssey Gotcha, thanks. And yeah will attempt it ahead of time, just wanted to ask to make sure it was even reasonably possible before I get frustrated messing with it lol.
@phillipandruckov2525 you are referring to the main jet or needle valve assembly not the needle he was asking about. From the top of the carb you can change the needle position with a clip. The needle does interact with the main jet as to how early it starts operating.
I need some advice on my 2006 yfz jetting, I've got an issue where I will start it and it will only run for a little and the idle slowly gets slower and then it dies. Any idea what it needs? Have cleaned the carb many times
If you try to ride it does it perform or will it not? If not I would say look into one of 2 things, blockage somewhere between the fuel tank and needle valve in the carb restricting flow, or float adjustment.
Yeah it rips, only issue i have is that it doesn't like to idle nicely. I have a dasa full exsaust, no airbox and a k&n filter, and the cam chain mod. For jets I run 180 main, 48 pilot, and 90 starter. And all of this I run at 400ft above sea level.
Excellent video, fast and concise, straight to the point, the carburetor of my YFZ450r is now clean.
Glad it helped and thanks for the feedback on the video! Much appreciated.
Great video! I figured i wouldnt have to disassemble the whole carb cause i didnt want too! This my first yfz450 second time ever cleaning a carb!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked the video
Just did mine and mine was clogged like yours and now runs great !! Great video !!
Thanks for watching!

good concise video
thank you! please feel free to suggest things I could do better, I'm always trying to improve
Thats all there is on a carb clean? Same on yz450f dirtbike right?
Great video brother
Thank you! Would appreciate a subscribe if you haven't already.

I think you could but you may want to give it a try before your trip to be sure.

I know im a little late, but yes. except its on the bottom of the carb there is a nut you can take off and you can access the jets

Nice man 🔥🦾

Try a 45 pilot
Have you tried cleaning the carb without taking it off the bike?
No, I don't see how you could effectively do that
Nice video, going to attack mine now...wish me luck! Lol
Good Iuck! Let me know how you make out
