It literally took me all day yesterday to remove the carb and this guy does it in under 15 minutes and put it back together
It takes me a couple of days because I wash and air dry.
I took me one month.
It took me a year
@@ahit1027 damm lol 😂
Took me a decade
Keep this trick I devised years ago for the future when you do carbutator work..
Try this... Heat the plastic tube from the carb cleaner spray with a lighter (about 1/4-1/2 inch from the end. Then pull on each end of the tube to stretch it. This makes the outer/inner tube diameter smaller and more of a pin point. When the melted plastic solidifies, use small wire clippers or nail clippers to snip the tube at the smallest diameter that still provides flow when spraying. The cleaner comes out like a pin point pressure washer and the shrunken plastic tube end fits inside whatever port your spaying thru.
You can also do the same to create 90 degree angles in the plastic tube to spray sideways inside long venturi tubes.
I used to make/keep custom tubes around for these situations. Hope this makes sense. BTW.... Great videos.
This video helped so much!! It felt like I had someone standing next to me guiding me through the entire process. Very nice quality too, everything was very easy to understand and follow. Thank you sir

This video helped me so much! Turned out the choke plunger was stuck, and both jets were clogged. Thanks Cameron
Im learning something new everyday because of you thanks man.
Hi Cameron and thanks for the video.
@ 4:52 you mention the fue screw, but that screw is on the air intake side and the bike is a 2 stroke, so isn't it an air screw?
Will be taking apart my carb this week.
My bike bogged and now wont start. My compression is good ,spark plug is new , i always clean my air filter but it is really worn ,maybe bits got in the carb.
Everyone is recommending me to take my carb apart and clean it
No way identical thing happened to me this past weekend
@@masonnevill i just got my bike 4 months ago, 2019yz125 .
One thing i do remember is last 2 weekends at the track my bike wouldnt stay on and it always does.
And this weekend i noticed i didnt really have enough power on the low end like im used to .
I thought i blew my top end which would be too early for a new bike.
Compression is still good spark plug is new , 3 people have already recommended me taking my carb apart to clean it, hopefully im good after that
Crazy same just happened to me I got cr125 tho started revving really high and then wouldn’t turn off with kill switch had to stall it after that it wouldn’t start I’m about to clean my carb, clean it and change my spark plug hopefully it works I do believe it was running rich so def change of premix
@@FeeLotti bro it was my spark plug it was only 2 hours in ,but my ratio did foul it completely , i switched to a hotter one and it turned on first kick
I have 2001 CR125 and you are my go to videos to help with the process. Thanks Max63v
this video appeared in my notifications while i was disassembling my carborator for a cleaning😂😂🖒
thx, this helped a lot btw
No way that's crazy! Perfect timing. Thanks for watching!
Google knows everything and always listens to you,
@@johnybrug5406 yas
That’s google’s way of saying, “Your doing that wrong man.” Lol 😂
I would be so stoked if you bought an older model WR450 to work on, especially if it's an 03, I have been away from bikes since the late 80's and things are a little different now days, you make everything look easy and that is extremely helpful.
keep doing tip and tricks. great video. thanks for the tricks like the sub bolt. wish I would have known that, struggled more then once.
Thanks so much Justin! I've got a lot more on the way for sure!
What happens if i unplug the sensor at the carb?
You forgot to mention the use of guitar strings or other brass wire to poke jets clean. Must b a shift metal like brass. Also compressed Air will not work alone, consider using petrol to clean as you know the rubber seals are designed for petrol.
No nonsense just facts. Good video
Nice video. Any chance you can do the same clean on a Gilera Runner VXR? I think my carb is gummed up....
When tightening the jets , do you just tighten to when they are snug or until they can’t tighten anymore?
Hey Cameron, thanks for the simple quick video, definately helpful!
I just finished rebuilding my sons 2003 CR85R from top to bottom, I havent messed with the carb really and it was working fine before the bottom end gave up! Now I have the bike all together again and got it running last night for its first startup. The issue is I have to hold the throttle open a bit to keep the bike running, and when I let off the bike dies as if I hit the kill switch. Do you know why this could be happening? It doesn't even sputter then die like its idling low, it just goes from a minor rev to dead!
What's the brass tube in front of the pilot do? It reaches to the bottom of the bowl
anyone know if i gotta drain my fuel before i disconect?
Just make sure your fuel valve is set to off
Hey on my 2004 suzuki rm250 the throttle cable has some thing next to it and it hits the idle screw and I wanna know how it works and if I put it in right?
I have a question on a yz250 carb I’ve done plenty of them and never had a problem until now I just can’t get the thing to take full throttle it just bogs like a rev limiter when I hold the gas all the way but I can cut the gas off and when it reaches the certain fuel level the thing will take the gas like a champ until it runs out of fuel but I can reach down there before it runs out and cut the gas dock valve on just for a split second and back off and the bike runs perfectly fine I’ve tried adjusting the float level every way possible any ideas on what else it could be if so I really appreciate it
When the float valve hangs back on float tab the wire can sit one of two ways, dies it matter?
I've got a 2011 crf150 do you reckon it's not ticking over because the jets are clogged up? Great video
The motor is not turning over?
ReVive Moto Parts I mean it's not idling but I had a go at cleaning out the carb today and I think I was successful everything alright now
Jack Coates I've got the same bike but an R, 9 times out of ten this bike is just a carberater issue and it's relatively sensitive to weather so keep that mixture screw in check
Perfect video. So helpful. Thank you!
Hey man I just got a 2003 rm250 today and the throttle is frozen I took the air box off the carb to see there is gross fuel or something so corroded you can’t even see the carb slide it’s nasty I soaked it with degreaser hoping by tomorrow I can get all that stuff off it looks like an electronic carb do you think it’s trash now ?
Who can help me with this? I have a 2004 blaster that wouldn't stsrt without stsrting fluid. I took it apart and the float needle was stuck in the thing it slides up/down in. Would that cause it to Not start? I broke the tip of it so I can't toss it back together until the rebuild kit gets here, would it start with the tip being broke or no?
Imma use this for my 2001 rm 250 see how it goes cuz it’s not starting and I’m pretty sure it’s the carb even tried bump starting has compression just sounds like it’s not getting any fuel
hey cam i have a 2014 ttr 230 i was trying to clean my carb and the float bowl screws arnt coming out i’m using a phillips screwdriver is there a special tool i have to use
At 0:54. What camera did you start using because the graphics and movements gon real slow. Please use normal camera. Love your videos tho keep up the good work
Where to get orings at locally?
Fastest carb clean out on the internet , hands down.
Is it ok to use compressor to clean out the carb
Do u use japanese size wrenches and sxrewdrivers or just regular metric thanks
i have big problems with fitting the airbox boot and the carb so when its all the way in its a big gap and i dont know what to do please help
I got a 2006 Kawasaki 250 4 stroke.
The bike only want to run on stroke but when I release it she stop. I always need to give lot of gaz to keep it on while releasing the stroke. How can i fix it ? Thanks !
I have a 2 stroke I just loosen the intake clamp and the on on the cylnder and just rip it off lmao you don’t need to take the subframe off and shit prob does make it a bit easier lol
I do the same on mini bikes, but big bikes are different sometimes.
Thanks so much bud it took me no time at all I take my hat off to you awesome video thanks again 👊
Have you ever ran into the idle screw threads being gummed up and stripping the Phillips head on the screw? I think I finally figured it out, by cutting a flathead into the screw and running it in and out till the threads are decent. Only problem is you can't get the nut back on. Any tips? Ideas? I don't think a tap for that small of a thread even exist lol. I'm open to anything.
BTW its a 2003 rm 125 I'm in the middle of rebuilding and having to keep ordering idle screws doesn't help haha. Awesome content too man. Keep up the two stroke stuff!
My 04 honda vtx1300 is leaking fuel from bottom of carb.
What does he mean by the pilot jet being from idle to 8th turn and the main jet 3 quarter to full throttle
He means the amount of throttle twist , the pilot for idle up to about 1/8 twist, then main jet comes in at wider throttle opening lol......Go Fast
Stevo Phillips thank you
What's the reason to disconnect the throttle position sensor from the plug, not the carb?
Trevor Schnedler have the same question, if you know it, please let me know.
Trevor Schnedler have the same question, if you know it, please let me know.
Good job
Regarding the TPS, could someone explain to me how does it work?. I understand that it is potentiometer sensing the throttle, but how it ended up adding more fuel? or it just takes information to the CDI?
It has nothing to deal with the fuel, so I suppose it sends the signal to the CDI, so the question now is what does the CDI whit this signal?
In a carbed bike, I think the TPS gets info that is useful to a number of other systems even though it's not about measuring fuel. Example: on a carbed bike with oil injection, the TPS info let's the system know how much oil to be adding to the mixture. I think. No pro here, but that's my understanding.
Long live Revive!
Those carb screws tend to strip easily because they arent phillips screws. You need a jis screwdriver, a phillips is just wrong enough to strip them.
I was thinking the same.
what about the idle the idle screw
Try to install the carburetor PE 28
Can you record video how connect carburetor pipes
Do you have a video for doing a crf 450 x .. Either way, thus was very useful and I feel much more confident tackling it myself.
Over the last few days I've been watching a few of your videos and I'm very impressed buddy, thanks
Thanks so much for checking out the videos! I don't have a video on cleaning a four stroke carburetor, but the process isn't much different. You'll have to remove the same parts but the carburetor has a different throttle setup and an accelerator pump.
I’m going to attempt to clean my carb on my 2017 sx250. It idles nice but baawgs when I rev it. Starts good. And idles good. So hopefully it just needs a carb clean
what kind of fuel line is that?
Great videos! Subscribed
Thank You!!
What do If the float isn’t bouncy like that
If your jets are gummed up, DO NOT clean out with a drill bit or steel wire. Strip some multi-strand copper wire and twist enough strands that'll fit in the hole and clean out like it's a pipe cleaner. It works like a charm and won't damage anything.
How do you set the TPS if you take it off the carb? I now realise why you said undo the plug and don’t take it off the carb. I can’t find anywhere that tells you how to set the correct position. Help!!!
Slosh gaurd very good
I learned 3 things after i already installed my carb back on.
1- i used carb cleaner questioning if i was doing right because it contains acetone and acetone is not eubber friendly
2- my pilot jet was so blocked that I thought it was normal even though it does not make sense; they are jet comon now (telling myself).
3- I did not count the turns on my pilot screw. Just removed it and screwed it all the way xuz i thought all screws need that. Bummer.
My xr600r carb needs to come back out but this time ill be faster and more thorough in my cleaning.
Thanks a lot for your video. So straightfwd.
Could you please make a video on how to adjust a 4 stroke valves with both methods
#1- T like on the flywheel
#2 - using the kickstarter to turn the motor while watching the valves movement and adjusting the ones that are up.
Thanks again for everything
Is it bad to let the motor run with the gas off in order to prevent gas from sitting in the carb?
Doing it once in a while can't hurt, wouldn't want to do it every day though.
Thanks for the response. Also, do you have any videos going through the most common causes of the engine not starting? I have a CRF450 that died mid ride and don't know where to start first... carb, valve clearance, etc. It's always been hard to start.
Muy buen video. Me permito hacer una pregunta. Lo que le aplico al carburador con el spray fue aire o algún tipo de liquido limpiador?
El carburador se limpia con aire comprimido.

I have a CR 125 1995. It idles nice and blips nice in neutral, but on 1st ride throttle stuck wide open even on a closed throttle (flipped me off the back, broken rear fender, bent bars) Any ideas what issue could be?
Check throttle cable isn’t trapped on frame or piston inside carb may not be lined up on the grooves correctly
Thank you so much your about the only person that explains thing relly good
Okay I've asked a couple other channels about my four-wheeler it is a 1988 Honda 125 FourTrax it will not start very often but when it does it runs for about 3 seconds and dies there's plenty of gas going to the card from the gas tank it's sparking it was running fine until a couple days ago it start up for school and the last 2 or 3 days it will not start for nothing I'm thinking the carb needs clean but I'm asking you what your opinion would be so let me know when you see this
First pool not for school my phone's microphone sucks
Pull lol
Hey bro can you do a video like this but with a 4 stroke
My 2008 crf250r wont start with choke but the choke works pls help
My carb just pisses out gas from the vent hoses when I turn the petcock in the “on” position. What could it be ??
Check you float level
This is probably useless now but could help someone else
Currently have a yz125 2003 and just rebuilt the engine but when I turn the fuel on it starting pissing out like made out the over flow pipe and fuel isn’t even getting through to the engine I’m assuming it’s a sticky float but if anyone knows anything or what to do would be much appreciated
How do I fix gas leaking from my overflow I tried air already
Check out your float valve. You might need to get a new one
Does anyone know how to fix a choke that won't stay up on a 2002 cr125
Most likely the choke shaft is worn and need to be replaced. The Honda part number is 16046-KZ4-A92.
Take a piece of wire and twist it around the plastic tabs on the rubber boots. Plenty of videos on this on TH-cam. Pretty easy to fix
what do you do if you can remove you subframe? my bikes a whole
cant
Why are there so many hoses on these things.
U really should use c10 few times. And it's cleaner octane 92.
Great video I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong with my 2003 cr125 because it will start first kick and run great for about ten minutes and then die does anyone no what’s wrong with it
That sounds electrical. Once it dies test the stator and coil.
nice explanation. Q: the needle valve rests in a brass cylinder that has a 1/2 dome screen on the intake side that needs cleaning. some carbs allow for these to come out for cleaning. my 07' WR has the cylinder pressed in apparently. there's 3 prongs that appear to be press fitted to hold it. when I went looking for access to the screen on the intake side by removing the center section of the carb I was disappointed to find that none exists, its a closed port that routes to the fuel hose. other then copious amount of carb cleaner and air is there an alternative to be ensure the screen is clear? I saw in another video that some of these have an oring. presuming that mine is pressed and perhaps there is none to compromise with carb cleaner?? th-cam.com/video/dl9NCzbYwkI/w-d-xo.html
What song is in the intro?
Ark, Ship Wreck
Idk how to remove my floats to get to the jets
Toby really hit rock bottom since Dunder mifflin
4:30 "try to blow in every hole you see" Soooo, you guys don't do 'phrasing?"
(great vid, some good tips for making life easier in there, thanks!!)
I been learning mechanics Bc my dad is a busy man
Hey man, great video. Just one thing... could you turn the audio volume up?? Im on mobile right now and can barely hear you at max volume on my phone. Remember, people can always turn you down. Harder to turn up without a bluetooth speaker to boost it.
Spokane represent!
Huge thanks for watching dude! It's odd, I've tested it on several phones and a computer and the sound level seems fine. But something I'll keep in mind for the following videos. Heck yeah Spokompton haha!
Cameron Niemela there no way your from Spokane are you???
tmac9938 hell ya I love on mount Spokane iv never seen a video comment where someone was like Spokane lol this got me exited even tho cuz it’s like someone to relate that u love close by somewhere idk it’s cool tho
No matter how many carb cleaning vids I watch I still don’t wanna do it. Ik 100% I’ll break something
I second that 😂
Phillips heads on carbs!!!😠
I replace with Allen bolts on all my carbs. Can get M3-4 anodized from rc cars also for abit of bling. 👍👍
a screw is a screw unless you blow out the treads. #screwL!fe
I for the life of me cant find out my carb wont spray the gas cleaned it twice and my reeds are dry
great vid
Thanks!
wow i cleaned my cr125's carb just yesterday
Well sounds like I'm a day late and dollar short haha. Thanks for watching man!
Eh Cameron. What's the lectron carb. Never clean ever. Why?
I just blow air through the gas line with an air compressor ......works 85% or the time
My bike doesn’t start when I’m kicking it it just on when I’m pushing it
This carburettor how to tune
great vid but i would add one thing, if it aint broke dont fix it. i used too work next to a dirt bike shop and you cant imagine how many people took apart their carbs to clean them just because and then couldnt get the bike going again or blew up engines because they screwed up the fuel/air mix...
heard that often but i dont know how ...
Take me 10ss
You keep telling us to check and make sure stuff is working but you’re not giving us solutions if it’s not working like common mistakes made. My valves won’t float and my throttle cable isn’t working either
It’s called a idol jet not a pilot jet 🤦🏻♂️
an idle jet and a pilot jet are the same things, just different names
bruh
Slow down because I heard was blah blah blah blah ... 🤔
Looking like your stoned man. Stop talking and looking at the camera so hard lol
