In this video I show you the quick way to clean out the jet in your carb. This can help if your bike isn't starting at all or is starting but it bogging out or dying. Feel free to comment with any questions and I'll try to answer. Sorry about the filming, my brother wouldn't help me so I had to film it myself.

  • took me straight to the problem! thanks. I also looked closely inside my fuel tank and saw crap in there. so I drained the old fuel while I cleaned the brass shaft and it started again.

  • Hey man, I just had to tell you that have a good take on this common problem and I enjoyed the video. I wanted to share one thing that also causes the same problems: At around 10.55 or so you can see the float actuator (light metal yoke that swivels on a slide pin) that moves a needle valve. That needle valve is the second most common place for dirt to accumulate. If you remove the slide pin, float retainer and needle valve and clean with spray carb cleaner it will solve a lot of issues that aren't covered by your procedure. AND, if you do the procedure that you outline in this video and remove the throttle slide from the top you can clean the jet you removed IN PLACE as well as clean the slide and entire assembly with very little chance of cross threading anything (brass jets into aluminum) so its worth looking into next time you do this. WHICH, you will twice a year cause these things get more dirt in the fuel than a weed wacker in the dessert. Great video, have fun!

  • i had my mini dirt bike it running for ages and i haven't used it in a while and i just tried to start it up, nothing. didn't even sound like it wanted to start, so i poured fuel into the spark plug hole and it started straight away, but then cut out, now it wont start at all? I think its because no fuel is getting to engine but don't see why as i have a brand new carb and air filter and yes i have fuel mixed correctly

The gasket you need to change are the carburettor gasket that attaches the carb onto the plastic black manifold thing and the gasket that's attaches the the plastic inlet manifold thing onto the engine where the reads are. www.amazon.co.uk › ... › Engine Gaskets try the link it's best to get all gaskets but just pit on the carburettor and reeds gasket

There should be a bolt with a jet poking out on the bottom of the carb, take that off the us a flat head screwdriver to take off the second one. Once it's out just lightly tap the two parts apart with a hammer they should just come apart. PS. The gasket in the carb may be fucked so you might want to replace it while you have it apart
