- First look at the XR400R pumper carb, but it's not an unboxing video. Also some slow motion shots of it pumping. The pumper carb came from XRSOnly.com

States his hatred for unboxing videos, proceeds to make unboxing video 😂
I've watched your videos for months now hoping for slow motion pumping action and I finally got it! Thanks Hermit.
Glad you decided to go with the pumper carb.. Loving this build, just been a long time since the last update.. The XR400 is one of the best all around bikes ever..Got to go with the bigger tank.. Great job bud👍👍👍✌
Yeah, I'm loving that bike.
Cool. Can't wait to see the bike when your done.
Me neither.
Best upgrade you can make to an Xr400r! We installed one on a buddies 97 400 and the power difference is outstanding. XR'S only is a great company. Keep up the entertaining videos!
Will do. Thanks!
One of the best performance mods for the XR 400. My bike has three years with the Mikuni and it has behaved wonderfully
I can't wait to get it out on some trails.
Would you be able to pm me some pics of it installed i have one on my 99 project bike but it came in a box no diagrams yet
Dang Hermit. That is one very neat and tidy Hermit shack shop!
I blame Ned.
great timing you old hermit, I've had a TM40 Flatslide Pumper Carb sitting on my bench for two weeks to fit on my DR650. This weekend I'm supposed to have time to get it on and set up. Looking forward to the wrist joy myself.
Cool! I'm liking that carb!
Can't wait to see the end result!
me neither
Very cool! I just got a Mikuni TM40 pumper carb for my DR650. If your XR responds the way my DR did with the pumper on it, then oh boy are you in for a treat!!
Looking forward to snow melting so I can try it out.
Great addition to the Xr. Now to wait for the best part.....
Yep!
Awesome video man!
Thanks!
Nice to see your organized shop. You and Duhfactor (at least in his new digs) share that attention to detail. Looking forward to the rest of your build. How did I miss the earlier videos on this bike? I don't see anything in your archive on it.
Thanks! Me too!
Great video brother!!
Thanks, Steel Horseman!
Hope that you will finish soon the bike and get to ride it in good wheather. As always love your videos. Cheers
Thanks. I think I'm on the downhill side of winter to not much longer.
Yo Hermit, question: Is the carb worth it? Did it give the bike power? Did it change fuel consumption at all??
Miss the hell out your videos hermit where you been
Nice video. Did you end up with different jetting from the 130M 15P it comes with for your elevation?
Nice unboxing video!
Thanks... HEY!
Great vid!
Thanks!
Hi can i ask what jets are in yours? Im from the UK 🇬🇧 and using the same mikuni pumper carb. Its just trial and error for me atm trying to get it to run properly
QUE INJETADA LINDA. ESSE CARBURADOR MECANICO É PERFEITO.
Hermit have u ever seen a Edelbrock quicksilver pumper stream? mine hasn't got the force of the mikuni in your vid but it didn't have any stream before i cleaned and inspected the pumper mechanics and seals . I have no point of reference other than putting it back in the bike and testing which will suck if its not right as far as i know there is no videos showing the edelbrock quicksilver pumper stream in action to know if the stream is normal or not. The fuel only goes about 3 ft but there is a decent volume and I have to twist faster to get the fuel to come out. any input is appreciated .
my old 86 Honda XLR250 R (Japanese xr250l) has a kehin dp79 pumper. I just thought they all had them didn't realize they didn't
Nah the 97-2004 XR250R and XR400R don't have pumpers, but the 400 really needs one.
Hello! How did it end up with the carb? Satisfied? I've just ordered it from XROnly, and I'm full of expectations... those kick starts were a bit a pain in the ass all the time..
Thanks herm. I've considered getting a pumper carb and I've ridden a bike with one never knew really what they did. Thanks for the explanation!
Sure, glad I could help!
"My wrist isn't going to be as sore as my third freshman year in high school..." That's great! :-)
Thanks!
Hey Hermit great video I was wonder where u got ur plastics for your xr400 I have an xr250 and I don't really like the plastics but I couldn't find any new ones
Check this out th-cam.com/video/KMHSpkhegRU/w-d-xo.html
Cool thx heps
God I love your garage.
Garage? That's the play room. The garage is on the other side of the house.
play room or garage, its a nice place to work on a bike.
6:52 "my third year of freshman high school."
cool unboxing video :)
Thanks!
"Third freshman year" haha! good one.
Thanks!
just bought an 02 xr400. Very excited to let you experiment with upgrades and see results. Did you know the jetting of the stock carb? im in your area as far as elevation and want to know what works best. Great music in this one!
I believe the stock jetting is 60/158 and corrected for 9000ft would be 52/147. I think I'd go one step richer on my first try. I didn't tune the stock carb before replacing it with a pumper so all I have to go on is the manual.
Hermit DaVlog thanks for the info, much appreciated. will be looking out for the new carb jetting you use, im basically sold on the pumper
hola, soy de Chile.
Donde puedo comprar un carburador nuevo para Honda Xr400?
is there a choke valve on these carbs?
Pumper carbs use a ton of gas. On my old DR650 I got 550km out of my 30L Safari tank. On my 1290 SA with 30L tank I get ...550km. The KTM has a 1301cc engine, it’s basically one DR650 engine slanted forwards and one backwards. The EFI is so efficient that the economy is as good as an engine half the size with a FCR39. Pretty amazing. Still, love the pumper carb.
Someone please post installation video of mikuni pump carb for Xr 400r
Well how did it work?
I still haven't figured out who Ned is
You're in good company.
Ooh I love unboxing videos.
You would.
Hermit DaVlog baha and I'm certainly glad you made one because I didn't know what a pumper carb did.
this is a must for the 400. mine will start cold in 2-3 kicks and first kick when hot. also gets rid of the off idle dead spot that'll bite you if you need to loft the front tire on tight stuff. the best money you can spend on the 400.
next get the magura hydraulic clutch. you'll love it
Oooo, I like the sound of that. Do you know how your screws are set up for the pumper? I have my start delayed almost as much as possible and stop at about 3/4 throttle.
Hermit DaVlog I left it the way it came from xr's only. never touched the settings
Dammit Hermit, spraying your sleeve. Make sure you ask Ned which way to hold it before you pick up a gun.
Wish we would have had this conversation before I tried to get things sighted in last fall.
Hey Hermit, I just messed around with my carb wayyy too much and have completely ruined my mixures. Would you be able to tell my how far out your pilot screw and your idle screws are? would be a super help. cheers
+Hex817 pilot 2 turns, idle 1 turn.
Just tried it out then and it finally runs!! you're an absolute life saver! Saved me a good $200 to get it tuned at the shop
I believe that its all setup and preset at the factory for the fuel jet that squirts and it's not really adjustable
Well there's the two screws I called out. One sets when the pump starts and the other sets where it stops.
Two thumbs up👍👍 your poor wrest choken that grip.
Right on!
is this same carb usable on the 250r? and would it be worth it on said bike?
I don't know, maybe if it was leaned out. I don't think it's as much benefit since 250s don't really need pumpers and the XR250 isn't as finicky about starting as the XR400. If you're looking to experiment with carbs on the 250 I've been thinking about trying a Lectron carb, but I have no idea if it fits or helps either.
Right but why do you need so much power from an XR? It's still a damn good trail bike, but if you want a dedicated race bike get something lighter, I love XR's so go for it.
update vid ?
So this is the xr400 that you can't ride til you lose your weight? Right, how's that been going for you? Keep it up only a little time left til riding season!!! Love your videos keep them up.
Yeah, that's the one. It's going OK, Last 10 lbs is way harder then the first 20.
Hehehehe he squirted it backwards in slowmo! Hope we get to ride soon brother.
+ColoradoDualSport What do you think I just make videos so people can laugh at me?
SuuuuWeeeeet! Love the sneak peek of the 400. Cant wait to see what ya think of the pumper carb. Ive been thinking about getting one for my 400 your thoughts will probably sway me one way or the other. I also really like that headlight assembly what kind is it? Ive got a Dakar dual sport kit on my bike right now but the year before last somehow the electrical board went out, not sure if it was the waist deep water crossing or not. I did my best to do some rewiring to get the headlight and trip computer working but the signals still don't work. Oh well for now but Ive been thinking about either ordering a new Dakar board or switching up my dual sport kit so I'm excited to see how you set yours up. Keep the great vids coming man your one of my UTube Favs!
Thanks! It's a polisport headlight. Same one I used on the XR250R th-cam.com/video/KMHSpkhegRU/w-d-xo.html
Im suprised xr400’s dont come with a pumper carb seeing that the 400ex does and that motor is a variant of the xr400 engine. Wish they sold a direct fit for an xr250r..
They doo
GOT ONE WORKS GREAT BUT THE IDLE JET IS THE SIZE OF THE PECKER ON A PISS ANT
HA!
Have you lost all the weight you had planned? I've lost about 8 pounds on my "don't eat pizza every day" diet. I've added five to ten minutes of exercise per day to keep the trend going. Another ten or so pounds and I will be happy although I already feel much better. Love the videos by the way!
Not yet. I just get to work on it, I don't get to ride it, but like you I just got 10 more lbs to go.
then I will ask one more question if I may... I did watch youre rather amusing millennial video. those tips did help to start easier but it's still pretty hard. I have factory 132 main jet and the 45 pilot and am kind of at a loss as to which way to go to help with my starting issues
Tough to say without being there. Choke makes it rich, and heat makes it a little more rich. So if when it's been running for a minute the choke kills it, it might be rich. If it runs better with choke after it's been running it could be lean. For me if it's 70 degrees out I have to have choke to start and can leave the choke on for a minute and then half choke for 30 seconds and then no choke, but it still needs a few minutes to warm up before I an rid it without it stalling. Maybe that can give you a clue if it's running lean or rich. Other things that can cause a problem is if the boots on the carb are leaking or if the floats are not adjusted right. I always, clean and replace all the rubber in the carb and set the floats before I try to start jetting it. There is also a manual somewhere where you can calculate the jets for your altitude, but if you're under 5K above sea level factory jets should work.
Nice carb let hope you don't run out of fuel on the wrong side of the mountain!
No kidding!
Love your solution to the increase in fuel burn!
Unboxing videos aren't stupid! Well, they are. But useful if you just want to know what is actually in the box if you order something...
You'll find out sooner or later.
LOL more fuel, I supercharged a small block once and someone asked me if it will burn more fuel lol, I said I certainly hope so!!
Hell yeah.
Hermit I don't say this lightly, you are the best damn motovlogger on youtube. Beautiful scenery, great sense of humor and the perfect mix of sarcasm with humility. I have been involved with motorcycles since I'm a kid and I am 55 now, have to laugh when I see some of these fellers with little experience and a camera yapping away. Your a character and I hope you stick with it my friend!!.Godspeed
