How to remove and paint your dials and gauges. All for about $6 -$15 Remember to use safety precautions recommended by the paint manufacturers. My garage door was open and I used a P2 respirator. I didn't include the undoing of bolts because there all different, but simple. Installation is just the reverse of disassembly.
Thank you! I just did a rebuild, and had struggle with the float adjustment. My GSF400 now starts and runs just fine! 😀
Mate , I was removing the air screw and it became tight then a brass sleeve came out with the jet/adjuster (the one not in the bowl) it's damaged.. what to do? Cheers mate
I take the jet out of the brass sleeve. Then put the sleeve in the freezer. Warm up the carburetor in the oven or with a heat gun. Then slide the frozen sleeve back into the hole it came from. Should be an easy fix. 😉
@@MikMech great you are a legend
Thanks for this video. I had no idea how to remove the needle jet from my Mikuni carb but copied your method and got it out easily.
Clever! I like that idea Mik.
Hi would it be the same for a cvk carb thanks. Jeff
G'Day Jeff I checked them out, and they look very similar. I would start with parallel to the case and then use this method. th-cam.com/video/yI9_NBcpzo4/w-d-xo.html Let me know if it works. Cheers
Thanks heaps for the video, I was wondering how the heck I was going to get that out
why did you remove the emulsion tube. no reason whatsoever to do that. just make sure the main jet is clean and it will be fine. Also, the pilot jet is usually the main problem with these carbs. They are very difficult to remove since mine was plastic and just broke away when trying.
? Removing the emulsion tube was the reason for the video. (Title) When rebuilding Carbs it's good practice to do a thorough job. All parts went through an ultrasonic bath.
I've got a tm28-418 carb I'm about to do the same to, and for some reason I can't get mine to to work past idle without wanting to choke the engine out.
Same for Dr800, thanks
i was under the understanding that the main jet controlled cruise speed which is wrong. My idle is perfect but 1/4 to 3/4 throttle is garbage and sputters out. I pulled the main jet and while it was clean and i could see thru it, i thought maybe it was the pilot jet. Pulled it out and it WAS clogged, cleaned it, put it back on and still the same issue. Then to learn about this needle jet where the needle and the needle jet passage controls mid range throttle. Never got that far but one day i will take the carb back off and get that jet out and see if its dirty.
brillian mate :)
This Carb is a real nightmare if starts overflowing petrol
Thank you MikMech.
Howsit I really need to know how to remove the main jet
The one that you find under the big flat head in the float bowl
Those float bowl drain screws are gonna be impossible to use,you have the wrong bowl on!
Just found your video, liked and subscribed. I have a 1990 GSXR1100 that I am rebuilding. Found a lot of good replacement parts for the Mikuni carbs but I need a couple of the black tops. Any suggestion on where to look?
Other than leaking what Will a wrong height cause as far as performance
It could run rich if it overflows. Or starve if it's too low and begin to run lean.
First if all you wer doing a reading with the carrier not firmly in position then later the reading was 17mm. at the bottom of the float. Question is, Where is this reading of 14.5 supposed to be?
From the bottom of the carby to the bottom of the float. Should be between 13.6 and 15.6mm. 14.5mm is nicely in the middle. 👍
hola , muchas gracias por el video . una pregunta , Luego como lo vuelves a poner en su sitio , para no dañarlo?
You say the float is supposed to be parallel or 15 mm but doesn't the float angle change as you rotate the carby? So its suppose to be parallel with the carby at what angle?
The seam, or 'flat centre line' on the float is supposed to be parallel with the bottom face on the carb. To do that, you need to hold the carby upside down or at an angle so the float is fully seated under it's own weight. 👍
manual for the bst33ss says to set the carb upside down and measure from gasket surface to top point of float (protip, the highest point is marked by a little imprinted dot)
Thank you for the tip, worked like a charm
Great input. I think you have swopped the bowl lid of 1 and as the drain screws should point outwards for easy carb emptying
That bowl is off the other side notice how your drain screw is not accessible

In the middle of doing mine on a '95 Daytona 1200, thanks, really helpful.
Thanks for the video, another job done without breaking anything!!!!
Hahaha. True. Half the shit I pull apart goes in the bin. lol Cheers.
Thanks for this video and the one on the float levels. On my Triumph triple version of these BST36 (not BST36ss) the emulsion tube pulls right out when you pull out the grey plastic slide guide. There is no need to tap it out. There's a flat on the emulsion tube that needs to line up with a flat in the carb body when you reinsert. I believe the O ring for the base of the grey slide guide is a 1.5mm cross section x 10mm ID x 13mm OD. I just ordered some Viton ones up. Apparently the slide guides are prone to wear making the fit of the slide sloppy and eventually leading a worn emulsion tube. Instead of a round hole on the emulsion tube you will eventually see an egg shaped one. I did find the grey slide guides as well as the slides on a British parts site in case you run into this issue. New slide guide and new emulsion tube will fix it. If you don't replace the guide too you will end up quickly with a worn emulsion tube again. . .Cheers!
Great to know! Just took the tube out of a 77 Suzuki PE 250 carb
I spent a whole half day on a PE 175 learning to ride. lol That may be why I love Suzi's
Thank you for this informative vid. Upon installing the new emulsion tube, it's just loose and can slide up&down..? or tap the set pin in further to hold it ,,both? Edit: Nevermind ,i see how the spacer and main jet draw it down tight.
Glad you got it sorted. I've never thought how loctite would go in unleaded fuel? Might dissolve
Nice!
This is 1 of the coolest videos I've seen. I've been wanting to replace emulsion tubes on my zx9r 1999 carbs.keihin. is it same procedure? The tubes are little 18mm long ones. 6.5mm wide
Should be. Carbs are pretty much the same until you get into Flat Slides ... Thanks for Comment. Cheers from Sydney Australia
Thank you👍
Hi. Do you know size of diaphram?
? Are you talking about the top diaphragm? Try Here www.manualslib.com/manual/384803/Suzuki-Gsx-F-750.html
THANK YOU!! Saved my ass lol.
You're Welcome !
If the line off the float bowl and the line of the carby are parralel, it will always be 14.5/15.5 mm? Or am I missing something?
You got it ! Works for this carby. Not so sure of other models though.. Cheers from Sydney Australia
@@MikMech Hi Mik, it was no question. What I was try to say... the bowl is 1 piece (non adjustable) and the carby body (non adjustable) so without or with adjussting the needle if the floatbowl line is parralel with the line of the carbbody its always 14.5/15.5 mm. I like you video a lot, watched it already 20 times. Cause fuel is leaking in my engine of my 250 gsf bandit, oil has fuel in it. So i thought i should adjust the hight of the needle and bump in your video, appreciate your vids, Greetings from Brissi.
Excuse me, I know what model the carb is?
Good vid, you don't need to screw into the venturi tube to push it through, just use a punch, screwdriver or any tool that sits down there and tap gently. Also helps to grease it slightly to put back in
"screwdriver or any tool that sits down there and tap gently." I'm glad you said "tap gently". I worked in a shop that would use tiny flat head screwdrivers and chew the crap out of the tubes. lol. Made it a bitch to get the screw back in...... Cheers.
OK but how do you get it back in aha? Thanks for the video
I have these carbs my 1994 900 speed triple. It is leaking fuel into the air box, so I’m guessing it’s a worn float/needle valve. Do you have any ideas? You can buy a small rebuild kit from eBay with a new needle valve, and all related o rings and a new pilot air screw. If I was to rebuild them do you think I’d need to re sync the carbs? I don’t have the tools to do so. Great video by the way.
Yeah. Sounds like a stuck float or jambed inlet valve. And only leaks when it's not running. You should be able to pull the spark plugs and see which plug is wet. (Running Rich) That will tell you which bowl to take off an play with. I haven't bought any rebuild kits on ebay (Australia) They are fairly exy.
thank you.. this video help me a lot
Your welcome.....
Thank you so much, I have a Mikuni Carburetor off of a 9HP Subaru motor and there was no slot to remove the carburetor main jet. I would have never thought about pushing it through into the main body of the carburetor. Thank you for this video!
where can I get the Oring at the base of the white plastic?
This is probably an option. I would test them in high octane fuel before using them. www.ebay.com.au/itm/225Pcs-Rubber-O-Ring-Washer-Assortment-Set-Hydraulic-Plumbing-Gasket-Seal-Kit/113459997026?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D57482%26meid%3D2771235b757d4a79baa0572b6ecfd7d4%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D12%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D332255645931%26itm%3D113459997026&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
Gracias¡¡ Una pregunta te hago. Creo que se me fracturo el caño pequeño de color cobre que se ve por fuera del cuerpo del carburador. ¿ Para que sirve ese caño pequeño y externo que tiene el mikuni?. saludos
*Spanish* Hi Enrique. Es una pipa de aire. Simplemente deja entrar y salir el aire para que no haya presión ni vacío para interrumpir el suministro de combustible. Deberías poder arreglarlo con pegamento epoxi o buena cinta. simplemente verifique que el aire todavía pase por la tubería cuando esté arreglado. Buena suerte. *English* _Question_ Thanks! A question I ask you. I think I fractured the small copper-colored pipe that can be seen outside the body of the carburetor. What is the purpose of that small and external spout that the mikuni has? regards _Answer_ It's an Air Pipe. It just lets air in and out so there is no pressure or vaccum to interupt the fuel supply. You should be able to fix it with epoxy glue or good tape. just check that air will still go through the pipe when it's fixed. Good luck.
@@MikMech gracias¡¡¡¡¡
Im doing this on a 97 1200 bandit and the floats aren't sprung...is this normal?
So the float needle has no slide inside of it? If that's the case then they should still work fine. They will still shut off the fuel when the bowl is at the correct height. It just means that if you travel a VERY bumpy road, it may flood or starve when the fuel is slushing around inside the bowl. The spring is really just a cushion. Imagine your bowls are full of fuel. You park on a steep driveway and the fuel collects at the back of the bowl and pushes harder against the the floats. The spring stops the floats from applying too much pressure and damaging the rubber tip of the inlet needle. : )
@@MikMech ah cool...appears to make it a bit harder to do the heights as i need to tilt carb at exact angle when needles are closed...will manage
I have a question about the float assembly Primarily the pick up should it be clear to blow through cheers in advance
Yes. it lets fuel into the float bowl. This is usually gravity feed from the tank with no pump. If there is a blockage of any type you may starve for fuel at full throttle.
This works for the GS500E as well. I set it your way and checked the height, it was right on spec. Thanks, bike is running super well now.
Glad to hear. Thanks for the heads up .👍
Did you forget to put the brass needle seat in before setting the cage.
No it's in there. You can see the floats bounce on it. lol
Well done man, you're the only one in the whole internet to show how to remove that plastic holder of the needle jet @04:17! It seems so easy when you do that, but I've been ruining my hands for hours to take out only 3 out of 4 of them...it looks like you can either pull it from the top like you did (very few grip surface) or try push it down from the air intake, but the room to maneuver is very limited...do you have any advice for me to remove the last one? I've been tackling issues at small throttle opening and I think that replacing that OR at the bottom can help me fix them while cleaning the carbs
Glad you found the Vid.👍 You could use the soft rubber handle of a screwdriver. Go through the main body and lever the slide up. You could even wrap a cloth around it if you feel like it might mar anything. Cheers
Thank you for replying! I had no screwdriver that could do the right angle from the air intake to slide it up...eventually I soaked everything in wd40 and pried using a thin flat head screwdriver from the top, in between the joint you can see when you look at the carbs from the venturi outlet.
hey thanks mate
Thanks a lot for share.
