Love this, been troubleshooting mines day by day. Its slowly starting to run better thanks to your amazing explanations in your videos. Just got an updated that the gas i had my mom get me was some old gas from my dads shed 😂 so ill be draining the thank, and cleaning the carb.
I just watched a video on how important the air filter is 😂 I do run an air filter on one of my bikes now but it's only because I drilled a hole in it and I have my nitrous nozzle in it and it works great
So im having trouble with a brand new 2 stroke 50cc engine that will start when pedaled and clutch is engaged but wont accelerate and just bogs down, initially it worked but now something has gone wrong after just 30 minutes of running. I have adjusted the jet and the float to all possible positions and no change, I will continue to mess with the float tho. I have checked the sparkplug and it works fine. Any tips? Surely the carb doesnt need cleaning its brand new.
I relate to you cuz i am an older fart hoping you can clear up some things on the 2 stroke. I have a 4 stroke on my bike but my neighbor had a bike given to her with a not running 2 stroke, no clue cc's any way took carb apart and cleaned it the jet extension was unscrewed and laying in the bowl, milky looking fuel. Got it running, the screw on the side of the carb is an idle screw and not an a/f mixture is that correct??? And do they vibrate a lot??? my 4 stroke is smooth. And once you are at full throttle seems to run great it is getting up to speed that is funky, think it is called 4 stroking??? what causes that and how to fix it. The carb is seated no air leaks that i can find everything is really clean. It is a retired police dept bike. Cool bike but first time messing with a 2 stroke bicycle engine, I had 2 stroke dirt bikes, this is a different animal. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
The screw on the side is an idle screw and what i have found to fix the 4 stroking issue is to adjust the needle so that it is leaner ,I run mine with the clip right at the top (the higher the clip the more lean it is)and yes they do vibrate quite a bit so make sure to check nuts and bolts regularly.
Hey@@HughesMotorized i have a bike that was running, it's got a different kind of carb.... I tried plugging the carb over flow drain, i undid that. I had the bike upside down. But one day i only got a few chugs... And today it ran great for 2 seconds i got the rpms up high but then it bogs and you get a fews chugs here and there after..... Is it wires?... Not had the bike very long. Thought it was flooding, the carb is big and looks close to the engine.
The wire that goes down to the carburetor is probably not seated correctly.Just lift it up slightly and then release it so that it will travel down as low as possible. Simple as that.
@@JoshMo1993 Must be. I've been running my 2 stroker w/ no filter for 10 years. Did a rebuild like 5 years ago after I let it sit out in the rain and weather. Runs fine ;-)

@@HughesMotorized I went through the carb... It runs fine for 2 seconds on a fresh start, i was playing with the carb screws...
@@paddymills2144 post pics of carb and engine on Facebook group Hughes Motorized. I don't know if you are talking about this or that or ???
Ok i did@@HughesMotorized
After how many miles do we clean them?
2-3 times a year or if you are having performance issues
@@HughesMotorized ok thanks Brother
I have cleaned it. But now it accelerates on its own. Can you helpn me ?

Hey I have problems with fowled plugs and have to have throttle half open to start and gas leaking out carb .
Gas leaking = dirty carb or float needing adjustment. Watch the video
What about the magnet.
Does it have to be gaped if so how much ?
It wouldn't get so dirty if you use a AIR FILTER!
Ride safe my friend......
$30 MILLION FERARRIS RUN FINE WITHOUT AIR FILTERS. I'LL ASSUME YOU KNOW MORE THAN FERARRI, MASERATI, DUCATI, ALFA ROMEO. OK.
@@HughesMotorized because dust, dirt and road grime are great for your combustion chamber and fuel delivery system...
