Thanks for the information. I was trying to remove a carburetor drain screw from my Yamaha TW200 with a regular Philip’s screwdriver, when I examined that screw head it had the dot indicating it’s a JIS screw. I badly stripped that screw so now I’m going to have to use an extractor. I just ordered a set of JIS screwdrivers on Amazon.

Great as always Sir.. I'm going to watch your VTX carb/jet cleaning vid as I do my first removal of my 1300R carb since I bought the bike.. Idles ok when 1st starting up and reducing the choke but after about a mile when I come to a stop the idle has dropped so low it shuts the bike off.. I have to crank it and turn the idle screw up to maintain a stop light idle without revving the engine.. I hope the idle jet being dirty is the cause.. wish me luck!
What year? How many Miles? check petcock vacuum for leaks... th-cam.com/video/7Fo9Q93OJXI/w-d-xo.html Just review to make shore yours is working properly...Let me know how it works out.
Hello Sir.. it's a 2009 with 6,650 miles.. as crazy as this sounds, it was fine before I shot some carb cleaner into the intake following your plug/air filter video ( and No I'm not blaming you :-) ) I'd been using the choke to start it.. but just read last night that it's not a true choke but just causes the unit to dump more fuel into carb for startup/warm-up.. I was thinking maybe that's throwing the air/fuel mix off for the 1st few miles? I doubt it.. but it's strange when I test drove it straight of the dealer's floor (cold start) bought it the next day (cold start) road it 50 miles home, next day cold start ride.. no issues whatsoever.. but, after I bought new plugs ( gapped them at .035 ) and a new air filter ( shot a little carb cleaner in just like you did ) the loss of idle speed after 1st mile of riding and coming to a stop at a light just causes it to react like I'd turned down the idle by adjusting the nut.
Go over what you have done....You will find the problem...VTX are great bikes check plug wire connection...If it ran... it will not be the carb..You did not touch the carb....You will fix it. put old plugs back in. .Let me know what it was.
You were correct.. I took your advice and did not touch the carb.. since the only other thing I did was plugs and air filter, I cleaned and re-gapped the plugs to .032.. and will NEVER touch the choke again.. re-packed my Vance & Hines Slash-Cuts with a 10x10 inch piece of fiberglass.. and she's all well and sounding Vicious.. :-) Thanks for steering me away from the carb for now.. I'll ride the summer out and pull all jets for cleaning next winter should have about 8K miles by then.. Thank Again for your support! P.S. you should do a Coolant Replacement Video.. Ride Safe.. and I'll continue to watch your Excellent Vids.. :-)
Happy to help. Glad it all worked out because it's always best to stay with that original carburetor. Lots of cheap China stuff out there. Thank you for watching and your sub ZXR. Ride safe and have a great day. Let us know how it worked out when you get her running.
another thing that can make all the difference--penetrating oil, like PB blaster. it will loosen up the rust and make the seized screw easier to come out
I would use new screws but you could straight cut it and use a standard screwdriver. but I like to just go to Home Depot buy some screws and start fresh use grab from Home Depot. Or the vice grips work well too. Hope this helps have a great day. Happy to Help. Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching and you sub Hayden. Let us know how this works out.

What size should I get? I'm trying to remove strip screw of carburetor bowl it's actually holding the fuel solenoid anti backfire on...but I need to remove it to get to the bowl nut....what size is this I'm trying to make sure I get the right size grabit
Hey two wheel Rocco my bike was idling very low so I decided to take off the carburetor which I did but I did not undo the throttle cables so I worked around it I sprayed carb clean from the top of the carbs in each port and put everything back and now my bikes misfiring and only goes 60 mph tops it’s a 2007 yzf 600r hope you have some advice
hello I have a question maybe you will know the answer to. i have oil coming from my left breather bolt. oil level is fine an it still has a small bit coming out every time i ride any suggestions
if oil is 1/2 way on stick....With bike warmed up...Check with bike up right...I just don't see many bike with 10,000 miles with bad oil umbrella in your rocker box...Half way on oil stick...See how that works out....Let me know....Ride Safe..

So true....
So how can you tell if its a JIS, BTW thanks for the info I have never heard of these. ( 59 years old )
@@rsk8310 to know if it’s a JIS or not check to see if there is a dot or circle engraved on the screw

Another way...take a die grinder with a cutting wheel ...grind er cut straight accross the head of the screw then you can use a straight screw driver
