This is the most ridiculous experiment ever. I love it.
Remember, the only difference between science and messing around is taking notes!

Next video ... how to change brakes on a kdx 250
Farmer Ben yes rear only lol
LMAO!
Farmer Ben😂😂👌
200
You don't want to know how to do the brakes on a KDX it is a rough rough rough experience mine took 2 days to finally get working right and $200 worth of parts good luck drilling out the caliper pins and good luck getting the master cylinder cleaned out properly so it will pump fluid properly... rough day
"Sawdust is good for engines right?"
"Yeah, almost as good as it is for cameras."
Jennie is absolutely RUTHLESS with the comebacks.
Great job, I was one of the guys that suggested not complaining about the Chinese carb and see if it works. You went above and beyond my expectations and made some great content. Keep up the great work, sub for life.
Thank you. I have tried to keep things as real as possible in these videos, and film the successes and failures. That's why I pulled out the camera when I was grumpy and made that video. Looking back at it, I do seem a little over the top, but it was the heat of the moment. I'm still glad I did it because It's an accurate snapshot of that pont in the project.
A 23 minute long Jennies Garage video? Made my day!
Same here!
I just wish that he uploads at least once a week instead of wait 3 or more weeks to see another video i'm addicted to this channel
True
"oh, i thought you were talking about my IQ"
OMG you two are hilarious... Jennies comments are priceless. I lost it at "Do they run in packs?"
"grow another arm!" was my favorite
These videos definitely would not be the same without her!
R.i.p brakes
Honestly thought “I wish he showed himself making that track stand “ right before you asked lolol
Peter Ryan now we will never know how he did it....I need closure!!
Peter Ryan 7
Yea I got all kinds of old bed railing laying around, and I'm about to buy a bike w/o a stand...if only some1 could've made a video to show me how to fabricate my own lol
Although a few times through the vid, I grasp the basic structure, tho mine will probably look much different, if I weld it haha
Great videos man found Jenny's garage about 5 days ago and have watch at least 5 a day picked up some useful info along the way
Such an awesome video. I have learned so much from watching this channel, please post more frequently!!!
You joke around like you are not Sirius, but in fact you are very smart and your creative experiment and measurements are scientifically sound. Smart and resourceful work. pleasure to watch. Interesting results and conclusion. You did a lot of work for this video. Much appreciated.
rebuild the old one, new gaskets, new needle, new seat etc.. 30 bucks and your good for another 20 years.
davidbrennan5 the emulsion tube is a non replaceable part. You can go with the leanest (biggest diameter) needle and it won't fix the inevitable of the emulsion tube widening even more.
@@cjcruz7965 You could have removed the emulsion tube from the Chinese copy and done the rebuild. I'm sure it would have been fine. I run a lot of knock off carbs on my old Hondas and 212 cc engines, no issues.
You’re
@@seventhdaymusic a tosspot
@@cjcruz7965 how do you figure totally replaceable on that carb and differing size diameters call it a needle jet maybe parts guy dont know what you mean by emulsion tube
Back in the day ( 70's to late 80's as far as I know) every back yard bike mechanic would use bits of old guitar strings to clean carbs. if it had a hole in it then we were shoving hardened steel threw those brass and aluminum holes........we ruined a lot of bits and pieces and even whole carb body's........we didn't have the internet, we had the guy down the street who had a friend who had a cousin who knew everything and it's what he recommended...... and everyone was doing it from the Harley guys down to the mini bike kids.......at least we didn't eat laundry soap
11TwistedHalo that’s funny and true
That's how iv done it....
The much older, better known trick is using old throttle cable strands since there were far fewer musicians than bikers. Must be a regional thing. Old car guys bought and used guitar strings for cutting out used auto glass (held between vise grips) which works well with practice, but every biker had used cables to cut up.
Copper strand of wire softer than brass if you think your gonna hurt shit your wire size is most important dont use brute force use WD or solvents seafoam cleaners magnification and patience light hands inside around and on carburetor
@Mr Brightside I do the same thing! Lol tablet always needs cleaned weird huh
I love the banter between you two, "The decorator has spoken."
I was thinking that you should test the difference between the bootleg carb vs the genuine. Glad you did.
This is one of the most entertaining AND educational channels on TH-cam. You guys are great! I have always envied talented mechanics such as yourself and I think your wife is truly a gem. I'm cracking up the whole time. Keep the videos coming!
Well, well, well...... Look who finally decided to make a video!!!!!
Great job. We want more videos.
jason mudd I agree!
I want to see the end of the camper trailer build
I had to pause the video to google what measure and keep track mean... you must have went to college, good video :)
Experimental Fun woah didn't expect you here. I love your generator videos.
Hey Samuel Moore, Awesome, glad you like them :)
You could try making a nitrogen generator to run it on. Maybe you could connect it to the 12v output and see if it could create it's own gas. I don't think that's how physics work but you could try it. And if not you could use a solar panel or something.
Yeah I was thinking about using a solar panel to make HHO and then running that in a gas engine, it will take a lot of solar power but i think it would be cool to be able to run a gas engine off of solar power :)
It's super inefficient but it would be cool to see.
Awesome videos sir!!! I’m a huge KDX fan. They’re great bikes. I’ve had both a 91 and I currently own a 02 220. As one motor cycle fan to another if you ever get around to swapping the crank seals on that engine I wanted to pass on a little knowledge I’ve picked up along the way. Kawasaki made a tool to wedge between the counterweights that keeps the crank squared up as you put the cases back together. Factory guys told me that they did not actually use this tool putting the engine together in the factory when they built the bikes. This info came from factory race team crew chief back in the late 90’s. He said the best way to wake up a Kawasaki 2 stroke was to true the crank or put a new one in but to use this tool. I had an issue (my failure to put the air box back together correctly after putting new top end on the engine) with my 91 that resulted with a large amount of sand going through the bottom end. So after a second new top end and a crank the thing ripped way harder on the top end. I’m sure you can use you Macgyver skills to make or find this tool and I’m sure you can figure how to correct the runout on original crank when you get to doing the main seals. I’m sure you’ll do them one day but I wanted to pass that knowledge along. I really enjoy your videos. Please keep it going.
Sheer madness, yet so compelling to watch. Keep going please.
Fantastic Video I’m A CHAMPION 😜
You're a CO-CHAMPION! lol
We are the champions my friends..
And we'll keep on fighting, TILL THE END!!!
ELSTAN PEREZ same
I dont even have a motorcicle but I enjoy watching your videos. LV the humor.
Eli yea and he's very smart and engenius to with all his ideas!
Okay, this is about the 30th video of yours I've watched. And admittedly, when I first started your series on the Honda Trail 90, I thought to myself that this guy's videos are going to be filled with nothing but a bunch of corny dad jokes and eye-roll inducing one-liners. But you've completely won me over! I find myself laughing out loud at you and your wife's incredible chemistry, charm, and humor. Thanks for creating such fun, entertaining, and informative videos. Keep them coming, because you have a new fan here!! Great job, both of you!!
I use chinese knock off from time to time for small engine repair, 70% of the time their carburetors work fine, both 2 cycle and 4 cycle. The reason the chinese ones jet was different size , is so it's not just like oem for legal ressons. I bet if that carburetor could have been adjusted a little richer , it probably been good. Good video btw
Same I prefer the Chinese tecumseh carbs with the adjustment screw on the bottom. Cheap easy and when fall times comes I order them in bulk easier nd quicker than cleaning a carb.
You are getting there, man. Good work. Carb improved. What's next? It's about wheelie:30 by my watch. And way to keep the commentary honest, camera girl. You can't have people afraid to leave the house for fear of running into a pack of feral KDXs.
Absolutely great! You brought up a number of issues that I would not have thought of on my own. I am equally impressed that you were able to get your wife to participate - she's a keeper!
WHY DOES 23 minutes not feel long enough!! You guys are such a fun loving couple. Loved every minute of it!
I would kill for 50 degree weather! Here in sunny northern Ohio, we were sitting at a warm 5 degrees at midday. I just started school about a week and a half ago for a degree in Welding, though I hope to expand into small engine work, and I absolutely love your guys channel. Keep up the good work!
Scientific method:
Step 1: measure
Step 2: ???
Step 3: keep track
Once again editing ON POINT! I really do love your channel for its humor and editing. Whether anything is accomplished in a video is just a plus
Not only is this a great piece of diagnosis - I love the interplay between you and Jen!
Yesss, back with the longer videos!
Thanks for putting the carb issue to bed..and you have a genuine diamond of a wife 😊👍
Yeah, she is genuine, not a cheap knock off. Thanks for watching.
Jennies Garage lol god bless you both
@@jenniesgarage the jokes 🤣
Learned AND had fun watching you two. I can see why she loves you, and you her! Humor and playful fun makes everything better, from marriage, to motorcycle repair!
Thanks from the Oregon coast, where there aren't too many dirt biking days unless you love being muddy and wet!
Gotta say I love watching your videos. Reminds me of myself trying to figure things out in the garage. Keep up the good work!
Jennies Garage ....
did not want to see you building that stand..... but then you did lol I appreciate you t least sped through it.... I'm drunk so inpatient hahaha your fine... I love your
Wow at the end you finally figured it out. I had the same problem with my tapered needle and forgot to put the clip in the correct slot so it wouldn't travel all the way into the emulsion tube.
Great video! I really appreciated the thorough test of each carb, and then seeing your guess for the issue being correct was very satisfying! Ready for the next vid :)
22:43 - Slams the carb down and with a triumphant grin, announces it is not a waste of money! Love the banter!
NOW RIDE THE DAMNED THING!!!
I know right came on😂
Been waiting for a video and finally it's here! Good job keep it up!
Thanks for watching (and waiting), this one took a while.
Yes he is. I really enjoy you guys. The humor and all. Thanks for sharing.
these videos are awesome the interaction between you and Jessica makes it one of a kind keep it up
THOSE JETS ARE ALL WRONG!!!! So is the needle clip position.
Start with 42-45 Pilot jet and a 155 Main jet. I used a 42.
As far as the needle I used a Sudco CGK 017.018 they also make a DGK 017.030. Most guys use the CGK one though, it has the best overall performance.
Google the needle clip position. I can't remember the best spot.
Sudco sells everything. You will have to change it up a little depending on altitude.
Matt's Shop and based on the temperature where he lives
Ethan Steely Yea, that too. Good point!
I think so, it's all about main and pillot jet
It's amazing what the right jetting will do in a bike. On my rm250 it was running wayyy too lean so I popped the right ones in there and now that engine purrs
Ethan Steely Yea, when I rejetted my KDX it was a totally different bike for the better!
Love your videos
This is probably the coolest TH-cam video I've ever watched. You guys rock.
Using the Charlie Kelly system to measure gas! I cracked TF up!!! I love watching these two. You guys are awesome
i would have watched you build the stand you guys crack me up
We Are The Champions ..... We Are The Champions............Of The World!!
Queen😂
Bin watching you guys for last few days and really enjoying your videos and the way you bounce off each other very fun to watch
Much applause...educating and highly entertaining. I love the videographer's snarky comments! LOL You guys are awesome.
Makes McDonalds joke right as I start eating my McDonalds... *casually puts burger in the garbage*
Right where it belongs! 😝
So the old carb just needed a new needle seat. 😂
No there fix not removable and it called a collar
Jet needle goes in a needle jet or emulsion tube or emulsifier depends manufacturer u want to talk about
Very good video indeed. I have been fighting with a kdx carb problem for months and your video here helped me to figure it out at last. I just got one of those Chinese knockoffs and have been wondering about such things as this was about. You saved me a lot of work and showed me some details about the kdx and carb that I have yet to ever see. You are very good at finding solutions to get measurements. You can work in my shop anytime.
Always happy to get a notification for a new vid from you guys.
I just have a question.. what do u do for a living. Cause you are one smart guy!! You have genius ideas for fixing things , you come up with all kinds of ideas like that measuring device with the funnel.. that was genius. And u refer back to the generator video that was a very hard and complex fix.. well to ME it was.. But your a very smart guy I'm just curious as to what it is you do for a living. You may not reply I've yet to get a reply . Anyways stay blessed. Keep the videos coming.
Im a wall street ex.....thanks for asking! Yes! My mom said Im a genius too!
j smith and I'm an airplane pilot....
Thanks for the compliment. It's hard to answer that question. Right now I'm trying to find a new direction. To be less vague though, I have worked in construction, real estate, and sales at different times.
Chuck Rock At this point the JG channel is probably close to the $10k a month range by the looks of things???? Not too shabby JG
I have one question for the creator of video. Did both of the new carbs stop the excessive smoking from the bike? It seemed that you implied that it smoked alot previously but hard to tell from footage
I realize you really would like to know which carb gives the better performance and/or fuel economy. But to do that, each carb has to have the exact same jets in place and a metered container that runs for longer then a few seconds. A long run after each carb has been turned for the engine and the engine warmed up, would offer a much better comparison. Too easy to make wrongful assumption with such quick tests like you're presently doing. JMHO But I do like to watch you make such experiments all the same.
correct my friend
Real world test is the best. When you buy something new the last thing you expect to do is take it apart. You'd did exactly as he did, swap it out and have fun
I think the point was out of the box performance
Im totally addicted to your videos. I came across one by chance on you tube and iv since watched every video!! Iv learnt some cool tips along the way too. Looking forward to more of your videos. All the way from England 🏴.
Your vids are the best out there! Always learn something from you. Not to mention you and your wife are the best combination I've found on the interwebs! Keep the vids coming because I know we can't get enough.
Thank you sir!
Its would be nice if you tried to mount some wheels to the bike stand, that way you have way better moveability (dont know if that word excists but it does now)
Greetings from a dutch subscriber
Arnout Buter I think "mobility" would work best in the sentence?
Yup that is a better word indeed. I shall use it next time.
he'll yea. I wanna see that stand build 😉😉
Keyboard warrior Hitman I agree that was genius!!!
Love the scientific process went into testing the carburetors. Great video! Keep the content coming!
Good stuff I really like all the trial and error keep up the good work champ! I learned something and it was very entertaining ty.
The 400 bhp Volvo from my Dad needs 1/2 gallone per hour
again, your wife is the star- ha!
MAN, I don't do what you do, I don't want to do what you do, I dont even understand much of what you do - but I can't quit watching!
You and your wife have great chemistry and your vids are cut & edited very well. Keep up the great work!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ASSEMBLE YOUR TEST! I really appreciate your assessment. I was just about to buy the lower priced
"Mikuni 45mm HSR" on ebay. Your video has saved me a world of grief that I am certain would have arrived with the ebay unit. I noted the level of anxiety you
demonstrated in the preceding video the day your China carb arrived after opening the box. At least you were fortunate to have had a quality dealer.
Again, Thank You
Rachael Jaime
17:56 of course I’d watch till the end
Get on and ride it now
The banter between you two makes this more interesting to watch.
Always love seeing updates from you guys because its real life and real situations.
Can we please get at least one upload a week???
please 🙏
The Grumpy Southerner -2 F this morning at my house lol.
these "chinese" jets are also common..
Just love how you two are towards each other. Keep the videos coming. Sure entertaining
You two are just adorable. Straight up relationship goals. I came for a bike build, but stayed for the host a film crew
Those poor brake pads...
SHASTA????????????????? Come on man!
the dynamic with you two is pretty entertaining i dig it
I am still laughing my socks off. Jennie is soooo funny. The banter makes your channel so special.
Was the needle noticeably leaner on knockoff?? How about pilot jet comparison? Would the keihin mainjet screw into the tube portion of the knock off?? Good video but not a very good full comparison imo
top shit, dont wear yourself out making too many vids tho
PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS! We are happy to support you in every way! Also, thanks for another awesome Video!
Man, this guy is Unique in his abilities to work on Bikes. Congrats!!🎉🎈
Explosion of movement..... its like a 200 right? It couldn't have an explosion of movement even if it ran over a land mine
Someone doesn't understand 2-strokes.
Who is this someone?
I have an explosion of movement every morning after my first cup of coffee.
builtrodewreckedit buddy, a two stroke that has a 200 cc motor is about equivalent to that of a 400 four stroke. It has power.
Levi Rhodes it’s not it’s equivalent to a300 4 stroke
I really enjoyed this video and found it highly entertaining. Keep up the good work and congratulations to Jen on the camera work and comments.
that was awesome! congrats on identifying the problem
Great video. Great experiment. And the length of video was much appreciated. Love the channel.
Dude, I love your content and thought process! Thanks.
How is this so entertaining? Seriously, THIS is why TH-cam was invented. Subed, can't wait to go thru your archives of videos.
Dude awesome funny vid love the interaction between you and the wife. Its amazing how fast the fuel goes down on such a small engine.
Here in brazil, you have 3 options:
get a NOS genuine, for an exorbitant price;
get a rebuilt one, made like a frankenstein of rebuilt parts;
and my favorite:
get the cheapest knockoff you can find and throw genuine parts at it (needle valve, jets, whatever cheap genuine parts you can find).
Great video!! Great sense of humor and banter back and forth like every great couple 🤙 keep it up 👌🤙
"Your wields are getting better" Damn that woman knows how to pay a man a compliment that counts. So sweet.
I’ve just been made aware of y’alls videos, and I love them! That motorcycle stand just astonished me lol.
Watched your fake carb video by chance when it came out. By chance stumbled back to your channel this morning. Have been binge watching the past 2 hours!!! Can't get enough of you and camera girl... too funny and great content!!!
You both have a looooot of time on your hands. Love it too! 👍🏻👍🏻
You two are the best!!
Pls never stop making motorcycle mechanics videos!
I'm spending a lazy Sunday afternoon in my bed and I roll over and pick up my phone and go to TH-cam . You may ask yourself, "self , why is he going to TH-cam?"
Don't worry about it.
But I Digest.
I stumble across the 2 of you with the cow we project.
And for some strange and bizarre reason I am transfixed watching the 2 of you.
You're camera presence, humor, and just straight away tweaker ingenuity have me considering the 2 of you like watching a car wreck...you just can't stop looking. Easily an hour and a 1/2 is past and I'm still in bed . I've also subscribed to your channel and requested notifications of your ventures. Has anyone got the piston yet? Cause I will drive out there and dig it up right now if nobody has claimed that. The fin is my prize.
lol I'm dying. The wife is the best. If you don't watch the whole video your missing out on the funny stuff. Love the videos. Don't forget to question how much the sheller payed.
