      I got into the hobby in the first week of May '19. I built and sold six bikes that summer. Today is June 30, 2020. I have built and sold six more that put $2050 PROFIT in my pocket. (this season alone)
      I've done one consignment build. My bikes all run 28t sprockets. The last bike sold went 51mph. 26" Huffy middle weight beach cruiser. 28t. 26x1.75 Goodyear tires @40psi. Well greased wheel bearings and a Thruster F2 pipe. 16-1 a sip of 108 booster and STP 2cycle oil.

    Attention! This guy knows his stuff! One thing overlooked and most do miss on these carbs, is the actual needle length may differ from one carb to the next,
    Common issue is the little E clip wears out the needle where it seats, you may find you set it in the middle groove after a month of solid riding it has worn to the second groove,
    This is caused by the needle bottoming out to hard on the jet causing the spring to push against the clip slowly wearing it,
    About the only solution I came up with so far is swapping out to a gentler spring, A progressive spring I McGyver'd up by gently heating the first couple coils on a spring to relax it's tensile strength a bit. This allows a weaker pressure at closed throttle and gets stiffer as opening, it's a balance lol
    Yes I trashed a few getting it right or close enough I do not get wear anymore 😊
    Cheers Mate for some great videos

    How much it can be assured that the fuel intake will do starting without the prime bulb to ease starting. Needs starting fluid spray into the carburetor all the time to start?

    Tuning. To get the 80cc engine to run in 2 cycle mode.
    Changing Main Jet size.
    Most engines come with a #70 jet which in most cases is just to rich. Here in Mid Michigan I am at 774 ASL.
    A #65 was richer. What I have noticed is the #60 is the largest hole and the #80 the smallest. With the stock jet the rich setting gives a lot of torque but in 4 stroke, up to speed then I back off the throttle, the engine clears and starts to run in 2 cycle. Adding a bit of throttle the engine will produce a pop sound from the exhaust and will run rougher. Back off the throttle a tad the engine smooths out, gets quieter, and power comes up. I have tried several different sizes of jets. # 72 and # 74 are next on the list to try.
    My next thing to try is adding a "Walbro" carb so I can adjust the jets with a screwdriver. This is the carb that is found on chainsaws, weedeaters, backpack blowers and other 2 cycle engines, it has BOTH High and Low needle screws.
    I fly R/C airplanes and have a 3 CID 2 cycle engine running with a Walbro carb. This engine spins a 14 x 6 MAS prop.
    Fuel mix is 92 oct, with the Stehl Chainsaw engine oil. mixed to 40 - 1.This is my standard fuel mix for all my 2 cycle engines.
    I am running a "Zeda Firestorm", with tuned pipe, big heat sink high compression head, the big box type reed valve. This is a minor carb problem I'm working on.
    This seems to be one subject that all of the articles on the net concerning Gasbike engines just doesn't address. I don't know why but when I listen to a Gasbike engine run and it's running to 4 stroke just BOTHERS me .Smooth running high power 2cycle running strong, like in a chainsaw, is what these engines should sound like and running smooth.

    good video on NT slide valve carb.
    I've got one coming to replace the stock carb on my 49CC 4 stroke.
    I failed to rinse the junk out of the new gas tank , it clogged everything, there are passageways that can't be cleared without drilling out the brass welch plugs to get access to hidden jets and orifices.
    The stock carb was fine until the junk got into it, H124C carb.
    I tried carb cleaner, ultrasonic bath, compressed air, no dice.
    When the NT carb arrives I'm gonna drill the welch plugs out and see what the problem was.

      What's your mix ratio?
      Have you done a half throttle plug burn to see how it burns there? If it's black and nasty it's running way to rich and start by adjusting your mix slowly,
      Then go about changing jets, get your mix right first to your driving area, one thing I noticed not really talked about correctly is mix does play a factor in your tune before you start to jet, my mix tune for half throttle may be richer than what you need, or leaner depending on altitude, humidity, mix oil, and gas, .
      Always start out rich and ween your motor off the oil slowly and do a plug burn at half throttle to check it, black is rich, Brown is good but wee bit rich, White or pale grey, to lean get some oil in there fast lol.
      Personally I like mine just a tad on the browser side, gives life and longevity , once I get that I tune the jet and again I do plug burns at full throttle to check. Then adjust my jet accordingly. I sit with a 68 in my carbs.
      Oh a plug burn,,
      Hold throttle at point where you want to read the plug for 10 second count, then hit kill switch and shut motor down and release throttle at sametime. Shut fuel of and do not touch throttle again until you pull the plug and look at it.
      👍

      Mix ratio for oil to gas,,

      Leaner mix less oil, after break in, more power, runs hotter, no foul plugs and no 4 stroking

      @@HughesMotorized Thank You for the quick response. Yes, unfortunately I concur. I ordered all 3 original green gaskets, cut the excess off of the screw that holds the throttle plate, dremeled down the inner light grey plastic on the choke plate, slightly widened the jet, and took off the welch plug to access the fuel/air idle mix. Hopefully, when I put it back on it won't be running as lean. Was idling too high, but then gargles at full throttle w/ stock carb. Plug chop reveals a grey/white plug. This is why I changed in the first place. This is the 2nd carbI bought. The first one was an HP for $28, then when that didn't work, I got an NT ($10) because I already bought the intake peice and wanted to use it. Now, it's just a waste of money as the intake + 2 carbs + new gaskets + jets = $70!!! Not to mention my patience wearing extremely thin.

It has a new spark plug as well. When I try to run it, it seems like it wants to bog down and it doesn't idle when I'm still. When I give it gas, it also wants to shut off.

    I'm about ready to rip my hair out trying to find a replacement E clip (circlip?) for my carb needle on a red "true speed carb". I tried Ace and the smallest they even had was 1/4". Lowes had 5/32" which was still too large, and Home Depot had down to 1/8" which is just barely too big. Going to try Harbor Freight as a last resort before ordering online. At the very least, what size should I be looking for? I don't have any calipers to measure with at the moment, unfortunately. If anyone in the community knows and could let me know, it'd be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for the info on fully seating the carb on the intake manifold. The carb "seemed" to be fully seated because the carb was resting on the ridge of the manifold. It turns out I had to expand the carb flanges so they would go over the ridge in order to get a full seat. Now it runs great!

    • @HughesMotorized
      @HughesMotorized  3 роки тому

      No. The issue is the Main Jet. It is too rich. The Main Jet handles from 3/4 to full open throttle and they intentionally have it rich from the factory as the extra fuel helps lubricate and cool things off. Not so good for performance but they are mostly interested in keeping the engine running thru the warranty period. Removing the air filter helps lean it out some but still needs like a #66 jet

    • @HughesMotorized

      @@HughesMotorized Yes, the video says what the needle does, but does not explain HOW it does this. For instance, a needle valve that I'm familiar with increases flow by pulling a tapered pin out of a hole, increasing the area through which the fuel can flow. This needle does not look tapered, so how does it let more fuel flow as it's pulled up the tube?

      Double check and make sure your throttle cable isn't too tight. I had the same problem with one of my Motors. The routing of the cable took up more slack than I anticipated, and it caused a slight pull at idle, causing the high idle situation. The way I diagnosed it, was by loosening the throttle cable adjuster on top of the carburetor. When the idle went down, I knew that was the problem.

  • @adamcolbertmusic
    @adamcolbertmusic 4 роки тому +2

    Here is my GREAT way of solving the air leak issue.... wrap the manifold with a few layers of yellow plumber's tape, get the carb snugly on, ditch the stock clamp altogether and use a hose clamp from the hardware store, and get it decently tight and you won't be having any leaks there for sure!
    EDIT: The stock "hose" clamp is terrible. In my case, it didn't squeeze strong enough to keep the carb from flying OFF the manifold [this happening because when the piston goes down and closes the intake port, all the fuel and air coming through the manifold suddenly hits a wall, literally, and this causes tremendous back pressure, which blew my carb off].

      Yeah dude. The crap "steel" screw they give you will start to buckle and eventually snap. I went with the same clamp but swapped the screw for a good steel Allen bolt. Works way better.
