Nobody else on UA-cam can explain how to tune a carb as well as you did. I'm glad I found your channel. I'm going to be a combustion engine wizard, now! LOL Thanks, man!
Good video. Here's some info to supplement. There are 2 jets in these, an idle jet and a main jet/needle jet. If your mixture screw does nothing, then your idle jet is plugged and it's running on the main jet. When this happens your idle speed screw will also be extremely sensitive. If it idles fine and the mixture screw works, but if you go near full throttle it loses power or even dies, then your idle jet is working but your main jet is plugged. Both issues require taking the carburetor off and cleaning it.
This is exactly what is happening to my kids 50cc quadebike. Could you possibly post a link for a video to do this as I'm completely new to this and don't have the first clue. Tanks in advance
@@BellyUpFishGarage hey you ever make that video lol. I just got a grom clone and I bought a nibbi for it. It Boggs if I give it to much throttle to fast but if I kinda east into it, it’s fine? Should I adjust the needle?
WOW. I have this same RTV and have been banging my head trying to get this thing running. Thank you so much for doing this. My daughter will be so happy I got this thing running again!!
Dude I ain't no lie,you made that so so simple explaining the idle and air fuel mixture,no rambunctious beating around the bush astronomic do it yourselfer video I ever seen,dude THANKS,straight PLAIN to the point no CHASER,just the task I needed to see,😊THANKS guy!!!!
Sometimes the air/fuel screw comes with a little plug covering it. If you use an 1/8” drill bit and very carefully and slowly drill into the Center of this plug, it will eventually catch and pop it out revealing the adjustment screw 👍
Omg I think you just saved me from going out getting another carb, I got a new Chinese pit bike 125 and it didn't have no idle screw or air but there is these rubber stoppers hmm 🤔
Thanks a bunch, i had just cleaned a newly acquired to me 70cc orion. It worked fine until warm where it woulf stumble and stall, i remembered this video and now it appears to be running lovely and not stalling out
@@BellyUpFishGarageHello friend, I have a little problem.. i had fuel leaking because of stuck float , i fixed it now fuel leak is done, but i cant tune my carb.. before this operation it runned perfectly, but now for some reason i cant really tune it. Idle is colalapsing up and down a littlw bit (without choke-on operating temp), air filter also carb is clean, i noticed when i hit full throttle really fast, then engine wants to die, when i hit full throttle slow its ok.. (no fuel or air leaking) .. any ideas ???? Before it was going very well 🔥 thanks guys and sorry for bad english im from Slovakia 🇸🇰
@ If it is dying when you give it gas, it’s not getting any. Take the carb off and check and see if you’re still getting fuel. My mother’s family is from Czechoslovakia. I do not know where though.
Thanks to you I figured out my issue. The gas/air mixture set screw is snapped off. It came from the factory like this and I'm happy to have an answer. Thanks again.
@@georgesmith6154 are the carbs interchangeable? I just bought, apparently a predator 250cc, but vin number shows no such things, other then conquinghensim Corp. Lol I cleaned the jets, replaced the fuel and replaced the relay fuse, it idles fine but when driving, misfires and backfires
my son called me a 'come bus onion' engine wizard, close enough I guess, thank you for such an easy to follow video and making me look cool in front of my son and his friends!
Very well explained! Hands off, and yes, those chinese carbs are a bit slower in throttle response than a keihin or mikuni. but still they do the job. witch at the end of the day, brings you smyles :) :)
Daughters just learning on their s so a bit of a bog and low idle are a problem for me. Your video is great and thanks for the help. Happy Father’s Day
Another way I do it is raise the rear wheels off of the ground and full throttle at the same time adjust air fuel mixture screw. Found that to work for me.
I've always brought them a quarter turn out after finding peak rpm. Richens it a bit for when you whomp on the throttle so she'll go. These seem picker than the big bikes I've worked on in the past though. I'd like to see what a stepped flywheel key would do for the ignition... give 'er a little advance for better throttle response. Not so much Mo Powa, but rideability.
I feel like if you raise the needle it may also help. I've just started playing with these chinese ATVs and the cheap carbs are pretty finicky I've found. I bought 2 new ones that run perfect and then bought a 200cc to play around with. It needs some work and somebody put a MOLKT carb on it. It's been a learning curve. At least they're cheap to beat around on.
Our Tao Tao 110cc LIVES!! We couldn't figure out why it had slowly degraded in performance. We followed your video and not it flies again! My 10 yr old Thanks you very much!
Great video. Which screw do I need adjust if the carb is acting like it has not enough fuel under load. New go kart but after a long run it'll give a hard time starting and die when pressing the gas pedal
If you plan on improving existing exhaust, you may wanna get increase flow the way you like it , then this carb can do so much more! Save someone sometime maybe a headache!👍❤
@@deborahchesser7375 nope, eventually got so unrepairable just dumped it. we bought a bunch of new parts for it, to no avail. just bought a 1999 yamaha breeze 125 and its a beast.
Unfortunately, some of these carbs don’t have the needles that can be adjusted. You’ll want to grab a new carb on Amazon. Make sure you get one that is adjustable.
@BellyUpFishGarage I just got a raytech, they said something like they sealed away the adjustment per epa mandates. Sometimes when you let off the throttle it dies.
My question. If I were to turn the idle screw all the way in how many turns out before it's set to where it needs to be to where I can start adjusting it or tweaking it a little bit?
Hello sir, I have a fine Chinese ATV likes yours. My ATV only starts with the chock up and when I give it gas it dies. It idles high, not sure what is wrong. Your help will be appreciated to get this Chinese ATV on the road with the kids
Could be a lot of things, but it’s usually just a dirty carb. You could try cleaning the carb. For the price of a new carb, I’d be tempted to just throw a new carb on there.
🙏🏼 awesome video. I can fix anything and build almost anything But tune a carb 😹 not me lol . This has been the most helpful video on these chines carbs and trust me a have watched way too many lol , you rock 😎👍🏻 . I’m building a drift trike out of a junk CATV . Finely got it running now I’m just cleaning up the wires .
So where is the idle screw set at from the beginning.? If I turn it all the way in how many turns out to be around the correct area to test. I can get the quad to fire up an run for a few seconds but I have to stay on the throttle to keep it running. But it only will run for like 10 seconds max.
Bryan Dobbs What color is your spark plug? You could have a vacuum leak. Take a can of carb cleaner and spray it around the engine, while it’s idling. If the RPM’s increase, you’ve got a vacuum leak.
The Kodiak carb I ordered from Amazon did the same damn thing idles good but craps out when I give it gas unless it's on half choke and I see no other adjustment screws except the one with a spring on it. forgot what ya called that one
What do i do if my atv has a metal plate covering where the air fuel adjustment screw is? I have the same atv as in the video btw. I can post a video showing it if needed.
Sounds like you might be referring to a Welch plug. If that’s the case, if you have an air compressor, drill the smallest hole you can into the center of the plug and then blow compressed air into the hole and the plug will come right out.
Hey I know this is ak old video but when do you need to move to bigger jets? Because I’ve heard after you start to modify you’ll want a bigger carb and to try different jets. Couldn’t I just richen my stock carb out a little with the screw?
Currently I have no air filter on my son's 50cc. will it affect this procedure? when it starts up and I press on throttle it bogs real bad and shuts off. Baja wilderness 50cc atv
Could be a couple things - too lean or rich would be where I’d start. I’d see if it’s too lean. If it’s neither of these, it could be a number of clogged things like jet, or a fuel line, or air filter.
I recently got a new carb and air filter for my polaris trailboss 250 and after putting them both on no matter what adjustments i make the thing starts then revs higher n higher i know it cant be an air leak. Any suggestions? We have a new throttle cable on the way already.
Hey guy,Lewis again,I gotta Raytech 125cc atv,I noticed it doesnt have a air fuel mixture screw just a idle screw is it any way I can adjust my air fuel mixture? Or is it just time for another carb? 🤔
Awesome video! Question, there's a rubber hose from the air filter to somewhere on the engine. What is that and do u need it. Put a k@n filter on son's atv and don't know if i should drill hole in filter like factory, or just leave off. Thanks!
Darius Butler That’s your crankcase breather/vent line. It lets the build up of gases in the case vent out. You can either route it to the K&N or buy a small filter for it at the local parts store or internet.
On my bike the idle speed screw is all the way outside and the other small one is inside but every time I’m not touching the accelerator it accelerates by it self can you do video on that?
I replaced the carburetor on my son’s Tao Tao 110 Boulder. Starts up better than it ever has and sounds great. When I put it into Drive it has almost no power and eventually dies out… someone help me!
@@BellyUpFishGarage I did and it’s working ! Running very well. Unfortunately it’s moving on its own in D or R even with zero throttle .. what’s up with that?
I'm not really sure what you're referencing when you say the "string." You can shoot me an email at jeff @ myebaychannelname dot com with a pic and I'll try to help you.
Depends on how technical you want to get. It’s really an “air fuel mixture” screw but it directly sets the idle, therefore it’s often referred to as an “idle screw.”
From my experience - one screw controls air supply, the other one - fuel supply. Both screws affect rpm, therefore it would be confusing for me to call one of them idle screw.
Thanks for the tutorial. In my case I cleaned the carb and started my machine. Idles super high with the choke open full. When I try to dial the choke down it dies.
Make sure your slide isnt installed 180 out. Ive worked on one where the slide was put in wrong, meaning it needed turned to where it would slide down all way in..
Ttv_adenboz Mine is Chinese as well. They’re all over the map. You can get a carb on Amazon for like $15. I’d just grab that, then you’ll be going from a fresh start. I’d also try to run non-ethanol gas if you can find it.
My issue is that whenever I start my 110cc atv, it’ll just go without giving it any gas and will stay at a steady 8-10 mph without giving it gas, it wasn’t doing this before I adjusted the air/fuel screw on the carb but when I loosen it, it backfires,
I have a sunl 110cc which is pretty much the same thing you have. My issue is it won't idle but it will only go if I keep giving it gas by pushing on a throttle. if I let off the gas it dies. Do you know what could be the issue?
@@BellyUpFishGarage my buddy came over and sprayed out the carburetor with starter fluid and got it started for about 30 minutes but it wouldn't start after that not to mention it wouldn't start or run with the carburetor filter on
Will this work on any carb can't find what I'm looking for my quad wanna see if I can do it before taking it to the shop I'm a newbie so wanna try it my self first
This is going to sound insane..... but that warning sticker on the right, if you watch yourself do the carb talk and removal, in my peripheral it looks like some Chinese Dictator lmaoo
Mine would start and die unless I adjust the idle speed high. After it starts I can lower my idle speed and it’ll run great for hours and no trouble starting. Can it be a dirty carb? I’m clueless when it comes to carburetors.

There is NOTHING to "tune" other than changing jets and turnning the air bleed 1.5 turns from lightly seated
Pretty sure we can file “turning the air bleed screw” under “tuning.” 😆
They certainly can. This wasnt a thorough explanation by any means.

Are you sure it’s getting fuel? I’ve seen brand new carbs come clogged, depending on the make of the carb.
I just bought a new carburetor but I don’t know where does the lower pipe with the string go
I'm not really sure what you're referencing when you say the "string."
You can shoot me an email at jeff @ myebaychannelname dot com with a pic and I'll try to help you.
I need to order a new idle mix screw and don't know which one to order
Might be easier to just grab a $15 carb.
It is not really an "idle" screw, but rather a fuel screw, isn't it?
Depends on how technical you want to get.
It’s really an “air fuel mixture” screw but it directly sets the idle, therefore it’s often referred to as an “idle screw.”
From my experience - one screw controls air supply, the other one - fuel supply. Both screws affect rpm, therefore it would be confusing for me to call one of them idle screw.
They’re mixture screws. Call them what you want.
Whats the jetting your using ? The link in your desciprtion come with stock jetting?
I’m running stock jetting.
Thank you man! You explained it perfect simple.
Thanks for the tutorial. In my case I cleaned the carb and started my machine. Idles super high with the choke open full. When I try to dial the choke down it dies.
Make sure your slide isnt installed 180 out. Ive worked on one where the slide was put in wrong, meaning it needed turned to where it would slide down all way in..
One more thing, make sure you dont have vacuum leak..
I’ve looked at mine and mine doesn’t have an idle screw. There is just like a small brass plate where the idle screw is supposed to go. What do I do?
It doesn’t have any screws?
BellyUpFish no it’s a Chinese 125cc
BellyUpFish I may also just get a new carb
Ttv_adenboz Mine is Chinese as well. They’re all over the map. You can get a carb on Amazon for like $15. I’d just grab that, then you’ll be going from a fresh start.
I’d also try to run non-ethanol gas if you can find it.
I have a quick question what is that line for under the carburetor?
Drain line when the float gets stuck.
Yea because mine has a line hanging from the motor n it won’t start I was wondering maybe my carburetor wasn’t getting enough air
Isn’t like an air vet from the float bowl
@@santosramirez1619 No, it’s just the bowl overflow.
@@BellyUpFishGarage oh ok
My issue is that whenever I start my 110cc atv, it’ll just go without giving it any gas and will stay at a steady 8-10 mph without giving it gas, it wasn’t doing this before I adjusted the air/fuel screw on the carb but when I loosen it, it backfires,
Have you done anything else to the carb other than adjust the air/fuel mixture?
@@BellyUpFishGarage nope
@@AidenZebra have you cleaned your carb?
@@BellyUpFishGarage yep
I have a sunl 110cc which is pretty much the same thing you have. My issue is it won't idle but it will only go if I keep giving it gas by pushing on a throttle. if I let off the gas it dies.
Do you know what could be the issue?
Sounds like a dirty carb. Your jets are probably just dirty. Try taking it off and cleaning it.
@@BellyUpFishGarage oh, I forgot to mention it is a new carburetor
@@jorgepizarro3327 Could still be just some junk it from the factory.
Have you tried resetting the needles and going with a fresh tune?
@@BellyUpFishGarage I'm going to look at it in the a.m. I'll let you know what's wrong if I can resolve it 😂
I have same issue any advice
Do all carburetors have those 2 screws to Play with?
No. Some of them only have one.
@@BellyUpFishGarage but is every adjustment screw Like gold painted? Or how can I find it
Yes, they’re usually gold plated and on the right side of the carb.
Hey what if it hasnt been started in months? Should i still try to start it with choke off?
If it hasn’t been started in a while, I’d start choke on.
@@BellyUpFishGarageand adjust it while it's in choke on mode??????
No. Choke should be off for tuning.
Can you please answer this question.. how many turns from full idle should I turn the screw counterclockwise?
Try 2-2.5 and see where that gets you.
@@BellyUpFishGarage ok trying that right now
@@BellyUpFishGarage no luck ..I have both the idol and the airgas mixture screws turned out two and a half from tight
@@BellyUpFishGarage my buddy came over and sprayed out the carburetor with starter fluid and got it started for about 30 minutes but it wouldn't start after that not to mention it wouldn't start or run with the carburetor filter on
@@upnorthofcali7399 Did it run with the filter off?
Will this work on any carb can't find what I'm looking for my quad wanna see if I can do it before taking it to the shop I'm a newbie so wanna try it my self first
It should get you close on most any small engine carb, yes.
@@BellyUpFishGarage believe I found it not to sure but now I can't get it to turn on lol maybe move it to far will keep checking thanks
You’ll get it. Just take a little practice.
@@BellyUpFishGarage thanks for the video almost got it back up
2005 wilderness Baja 250cc I have one it will idle but not rev I thought maybe the carb needed cleaned
You do good job!
Do you know what causes my ATV it dies bogs down at WOT. I placed new carb spark plug adjust pre your video. No power at open throttle
Carb needs to be cleaned, your idle jet is working but not your main jet.
My son's ATV backfires a lot when easing off the gas, how to you solve that?
Turn the mixture screw out. It’s running lean, most likely.
This is going to sound insane..... but that warning sticker on the right, if you watch yourself do the carb talk and removal, in my peripheral it looks like some Chinese Dictator lmaoo
“Supreme Leader is pleased”
Hi. My 125cc atv, just working fine than The skrew is full inside in. Is this a problem?
Best video If the idle screw is screwed all the way in, it’s not going to idle very well, if at all.
Mine would start and die unless I adjust the idle speed high. After it starts I can lower my idle speed and it’ll run great for hours and no trouble starting. Can it be a dirty carb? I’m clueless when it comes to carburetors.
Yeh, sounds like a dirty carb somewhere…
Thanks for the video this might help my quad
