Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it, I got sick of sitting through 20 minute videos for 8 minutes of content! Good pickup on the teacher aspect, I've been told that in the past, so maybe one day! Thanks again for watching

awesome! thanks for watching, and glad i could help!

richard bolt - thanks! appreciate the feedback. Sometimes its easier to let the experts run through it.. I have taken stuff apart, put it back together and had it run worse than before! Good luck with the bike, I'm sure the kid will love it!!

Heck yeah!! I was hoping it would encourage someone else to do it on their own.. It was intimidating at first, but step by step - its fairly easy.

glad it was helpful and thanks for watching!

Awesome! Glad I could help, and it keeps me motivated to keep making videos!! Thanks for watching

6yrs later seeing you pinch out that needle jet saved me. I watched 4 other vids that skipped it. TY

Devin Jenkins awesome, glad I could help.. thanks for watching!!!!

Glad i could help! thanks for watching

I appreciate that, thanks for watching!

J Teal appreciate that! Sorry about the idle screw, good point!

Scott Killian if I remember correctly that hose connects to the fuel filter? Sorry, I sold the bike so I can’t reference right now.. I’ll try to look up a manual

sounds like one of the needles is clogged.. did you change those out or just clean?

sorry, sold the bike last summer! i haven't seen any videos like that

That is the carburetor heater.

You can buy OEM replacement carbs for ~$300 from yamahapartshouse www.yamahapartshouse.com/oemparts/a/yam/50045670f8700209bc793092/carburetor#

Check eBay.. I’ve seen used ones on there..

+Evan Macaluso - sounds like the throttle was inserted correctly? I'm not exactly sure.. sorry i cant help more.. If you send a picture or video I may be able to help a little more

either the jets or passages are clogged.. You may be able to clean it all out, but you may have to rebuild. If you leave your bike sitting with fuel in the carburetor for any length of time, the fuel evaporates and leaves a residue which hardens and sets like glue. The airways have been blocked in the body of the carb and because they are so narrow the pilot jet is always the first thing to block . Try high pressure air through all of the jets and carb body . If this doesn't work try acetone and soak the carb to soften the residue and then hit it with the air again . One problem with the acetone though , it will wreck all of the rubber gaskets your carb may have , so remove them first. Best bet is to always use a fuel stabilizer if the bike is going to sit.

I got the brushes off eBay "Carburetor brushes" if I remember correctly the brush should go all the way through, but as the saying goes "if it ain't broke , don't fix it" thanks for watching!

My old pilot did not have a hole. I got a new one and it does. So, yours is probably clogged like mine was.

Roy Murphy - its an air vent hose.. I can't remember off the top of my head where it goes to, but i'll take a look this weekend and hopefully get an answer.

highter lower mine is the same way...?

Silk Boxing anyone ever figure this out? I am in the middle of rebuilding And cannot figure it out.

@@ryanthompson916 Mine ran great, until the pilot jet clogged. My needle was set in the middle groove.

I did the same thing, and hoped for the best. I had on/off issues.. Once I rebuilt the carb it ran great.. So its up to you.. The rebuild kit is $35-$40, so it's a little bit of money. You can also try just cleaning the carb.. Spray a bunch of Carb cleaner throughout, and that may do the job...

Yeah for the money I think I'll try just taking it apart and cleaning it real good. Thank for tje advise

Jamie Loy i used Moose - CARB REPAIR KITS [1003-0329] KZfaq doesn’t like links! The wires are for the electric start! Thanks for watching!!

@@mattdobson123 thanks...after posting this I read that they power a fuel heater as part of the electric start process, as you stated. Thanks again!

It could be a number of things.. gasket, float bowl issues, etc. It maybe best to rebuild

Sounds like the needle attached to the float is not seating. Or, is missing. Or, is misaligned.

the bog is always an issue.. I found this on a site, but its tough to nail down the exact cause: The “Bog” simply means the engine is not receiving enough fuel when you go to wide open throttle. While there are other issues that may cause similar reactions within the carburetor, often the problem can be traced back to the accelerator pump system. Incorrect adjustment is the typical culprit. The accelerator pump function, as mentioned, is based on hydraulic principles. Therefore, it is essential that the accelerator pump always has tension at your normal idle position. Any air gap here will delay the actuation of the accelerator pump system allowing air to rush into the engine without fuel. The common misconception is that it is necessary to adjust the pump arm to obtain an air gap. This is correct; however that air gap is only at Wide Open Throttle (W.O.T.) not at idle. The air gap is simply to ensure additional travel in the pump arm so it does not bottom out on the fuel bowl. If it does bottom out eventually it could loosen the accelerator pump housing causing a fuel leak. Fuel leaks are something we all want to avoid. Assuming the first adjustment is correct. Then the next step in the process is to add more fuel to the incoming air which is accomplished by increasing the size of the pump discharge nozzle or squirter. This will quite often correct the “Bog” or hesitation by richening the air/fuel mixture when the pump system is activated. If the carburetor works well everywhere else on the track then a bigger squirter might be the only change necessary. Pump squirters are available in a wide range of sizes, the bigger the number (size) the more fuel when you accelerate. Simply remove the pump nozzle screw, lift off the old nozzle and install the new. Be sure both gaskets above and below the nozzle are replaced. If the gaskets are a different thickness the thicker goes under the nozzle and thinner one on top.

My 2005 has one float with two sides that take up the whole bowl.

+Mags Gaming - for this bike it is on the backside of the carb. you have to reach behind the carb. and feel for the knurled edge bolt.. the head is a little smaller than a dime.

@@mattdobson123 It appears to just hold the slide up a tad. Unscrew to lower slide, screw in to raise the slide.

I'm nearly positive it was 1/4"! let me know if you get it working!

@@mattdobson123 Went just perfectly! 1/4 inline fuel filter worked great, also rebuilt and cleaned the carb. These bikes need a fuel filter right from factory because of the small aperture of the carb jets and passages, they plug right up with the smallest amount of dirt and the bike starts running poorly. Thanks for the reply.

dbhatti99 - i used Moose - CARB REPAIR KITS [1003-0329]

78ginop same have you figured it out?

Not "without" I meant "with"

The cable with sleeve and spring is the throttle cable.. the stock bike wouldn't have a "governor" , but if the was blocked or super dirt it could act as a governor

Sorry i no longer have this bike but found this info on the web: The fuel screw under the welch plug & the pilot jet regulate fuel for the idle circuit. This is the first and most common passage to get gummed up, since it is the smallest orifice. Also, after the carbs are cleaned or rebuilt, you really need to adjust the fuel screw(s) to what your engine WANTS, not what the service manual calls for. The service manual may be a good starting point, however they are usually too lean. Better throttle response and performance can be achieved with proper pilot jet and fuel screw settings.

check needle attached to float.

Popeyed Gaming just search for carburetor rebuild kit and model of your bike.. I didn’t want to promote one company over the other.. many different places sell it, thanks for watching!

Amazon, and ebay and alot of others on the net.

Or whatever it is the float came off aswell as like this spring thingy for it but the needle valve didnt

Matthew Simms no, sold the bike last year. Thanks for watching!

@@mattdobson123 keep it up, the videos are great

It sounds like the needle valve in the carb is not closing. Remove the bowl from the carb and clean any debris/junk that may be interfering with the needle and seat. If you don't find any obvious junk causing the problem check to see if the needle and seat looks worn. Replace the needle and seat if necessary. Clean the bowl before reassembly. Be careful not to disturb the float level setting. It's a good idea to install a fuel filter between the tank and the carb if you don't already have one.
