In EVERY Ruckus owner's life, there WILL be a time you will need to clean your carb jets. If you happen to leave your Ruckus or motorcycle with a carb unstarted for an extended period of time you will have deposits in the carb preventing fuel flow. There are always bike shops you can use to have the carb cleaned but in the event, you want to see what it is like to clean it yourself well this is the video for you. After watching this and you say to your self "They that seems doable" please feel free to do it, but if you said "That looks difficult" then please try a place to do it for you. Of course, time is valuable, and if you don't have the time pay someone, if you don't have the money but the time then do it yourself.
I am not an expert but I have done this enough to know how to do it and do it well enough to show some people how to do it.
Please enjoy, share with other Ruckus owners or keep the knowledge to yourself.
NOTE: This was taught to me by a Houston OG Ruckus guy named "Buzzy". If you know him you are lucky.

perfect explanation on whats what on a carb! No one has explained it so clearly as you have. I would simply not that you should take note how many turns you turn your jets out and back in....

Thanks I appreciate it “no name”

I would place my finger in the air cleaner intake hole while cranking at full throttle to help prime the fuel system and absolutely reset the ECU.

Can't wait for the valve one. That one should be interesting!!!

Most carb issues are due to a clogged pilot jet. But if your Ruckus is really gunky then the area around the needle-jet (not jet-needle), aka emulsion tube, could be gunked up also. Remove the needle-jet by first removing the main jet. Then tap on the needle jet from the carb throat using a blunt punch. You could also use a 4-inch or longer 1/4” socket extension In addition, the auto-choke (automatic start-up enrichener) could be clogged like my Ruckus and Suzuki pit bike. That’s the 3rd brass cylinder/pick-up tube next to the main jet and pilot jet. That cylinder has a super tiny hole that picks up fuel to help start a cold engine. I used a super thin strand of steel wire from one of those braided wire used to mount heavy old artwork. i poked the wire with a little carb cleaner and eventually it cleared up. This is pretty critical for colder climates or winter time.

Thanks and just in time. Im getting back into the swing of things (making videos). As I make them Id be happy to take content suggestions

it anyone watches this video make sure that you reset your ECM there are videos on youtube. this is a must when removing your throttle position sensor like he did.Note you do not need to remove it to clean the carburetor.

@CoryDanks 8 күн бұрын

What ever fixed your starting issue? You cleaned up the carb in the video but it still wasn't starting.

@PushaBee 8 ай бұрын

Great video! Quick question, I cleaned my jets and my bike starts but now my fuel pump keeps clicking, I turned it off right away when I noticed it. Is it because fuel needs to fill the bowl? If that’s the case, is it safe to ride like that till the noise goes away

@keithbennett1359 3 жыл бұрын

I have a question , does the ruckus carb have a brass?? seat in the fuel inlet or does the float needle seat directly in the aluminum inlet hole. I do ATV carburetors as a service and never seen one without a brass etc. seat , this carb may not have one or it could have fallen out during cleaning ????

@keny9661 5 ай бұрын

Hi there, Very useful video! Did you have to reset the ECM system after you restored the carb? Thanks!

@SmallEngineVelocity 5 ай бұрын

Good question few have asked. No, I have never had to reset anything with the ECU.

@randymueller-vk7gz Жыл бұрын

You need to reset the computer. Anytime the battery is changed or the electric component is disconnected from the carb a reset is recommended.

How do you put the bystarter back in correctly? Is there a trick or can you make a video? I broke the first one trying to reinstall it and I don’t want to keep repeating a 70 dollar mistake. Plz help

Or when taking apart I take masking tape mark them by name cooling lines, oil lines, fuel lines or vacuum and emissions lines.

Replace the jets, cleaning them is an option but play it safe and replace.

Only use non-ethanol fuel and use fuel stabilizer as well - especially if you don't use the bike all the time - you won't have carburetor 'issues.'

@TheGunterGlieben Жыл бұрын

Would be nice, however in Canada you can’t find fuel at the pumps without the ethanol... so yeah, pulling the carb and cleaning the tiny jet is an annual must do event.
