I love the disassembly video i still think it's awesome. I always enjoyed looking at my uncle's manuals. Words are one thing but it's like watching my uncle strip his carbs after the season is done was fun to watch. This reminded me of that great video!

@MrDodgediesel93 well if it has not pulse port it is an oldie. just drill in the middle of the case under the carb, when i drilled mine i cam in contact with the crank slightly but it was fine. you only need a small opening to get the pulse. use a drill bit that matches with a NPT27 tap and then get an NPT27 brass nipple - the rubber hose will just slip right on.

@4037McK1 I suggest checking the filter and fuel pump, the bowl can be full but if the pump is toast then it won't work. also, did you blow the carb out with compressed air? all the passages?

Thanks! I have cleaned up many a mikuni, but I've never had the need to remove the needle jet (Nozzle) until today when my ancient RM250 suddenly quit. A closer inspection revealed the main jet had actually corroded and broke off flush with the needle jet. All caused by a mouse that chewed a hole in the air filter element and used the carb' mouth as his personal urinal. His piss ran right in thru the needle jet , and settled in the jet area. The corrosion was unreal!

@4037McK1 is fuel getting to the carbs? hows your fuel pump? Fresh fuel in the tank? What type of sled and engine?

It's a vent to atmosphere to allow fuel to come into the carb.

I couldn't tell from the video, but did you have the gasket soaking for the 24 hours as well, it just appeared in the end of the video beside the main carb body.

I noticed that you pulled the cable along with the carb is that better than disconnecting the cable from the carb on the bike?

I cant seem to get my choke plunger out of my carb, its like its "seized" and it dosn't move at all, the plunger on my other carb came out fine. Do I just replace the cable and drill out the plunger? I all ready tried to soak it but it wont budge. What do I do?!?!?

Good video,no wasted words talking. Captions worked fine. I know it worked but aren't you teaching the beginner bad habits. Vice grips should not be used on any carburetor unless you have no other option. Use the right tool.
