Check the jet block and jet block gasket of the carburetor. These can cause rich conditions that can't be fixed by jetting changes due to allowing unmetered fuel to leak past.

I would check the basics and make sure the float height is right and the needle is at the stock clip height (if it’s adjustable). It’s possible that someone tried to hot rod it by jetting it too much. People do funny things trying to make more power. Also (I need to remind myself of this because I always jump straight to the carb for nearly ANY issue), but a weak spark can cause a rich condition, but that’s likely a long shot to be honest.

Fuel/air mixture screws in or out to lean or richen the idle circuit changes whether it's before or after the slide. On your carb with the screw nearest the air inlet it's an air screw. It was originally screwed fully in which makes it rich. If the screw was on the engine side it's a fuel screw & turning in reduces fuel making a lean mixture. Love the channel & caught the lord of the rings potato reference. Precious!

Two strokes tend to 'load-up' if not run through the RPM range. I always take mine out to the street and do a quick run through the gears in the power band to 'blow out' the system before tuning. It will run a lot cleaner after that and you can more accurately access the jetting. Love your guys channel and look forward to many more videos.

While it may not makes sense financially to do a top end rebuild on Hard Times (if needed), it sure would be a great video(s), and be a lot more enjoyable to ride. Plus, the value would increase for a sale. Symptoms of a 2-stroke engine running rich: * Hard to start * no choke needed for cold start * harder to start when hot * poor throttle response * lacking power * fouls spark plugs * sputtering when trying to accelerate * spooge out of exhaust * engine flooding * poor fuel economy * bike is running worse at higher elevation Great video format just like this. Less editing and more videos I am all for.

I was running 40:1 on my yz 125 out of ignorance. I experienced all of these problems you have. Spooge, hard idle, and lots of smoke. I switched over to a JD jetting kit and that made it worse. I changed to a 32:1 ratio and played with the mixture screw and it perked it up immediately!

Sometimes the jet needle wears down the inside of the emulsion tube. Remove the needle and drop it straight in. If it goes all the way down, it’s worn out. I’ve had the lay happen with Keihen carbs. Had a 1994 Suzuki 125 that needed a carb replacement because of that.

Usually you can adjust the pin on a slide carb to richen or lean the mix out when revving up, if they raised it too much, it'll be too rich and leave the idle mix rendered utterly pointless, and make your bike more of a mosquito-fogger than anything... :P
@ncopp4358
8 ай бұрын
That oil you see dripping out of the exhaust and the slow response from the idle air screw tells me that float height is set too high up leading to poor atomization and a perpetually rich mixture that your can't really tune otherwise. Running a rich jetting can do the same but it REALLY has to be running rich for that happen to that same magintude. Realistically, don't touch any of the mixture screws until you checked and adjusted the float height. For those of you who are new to this, there are very fine holes on the main jet at which gas passes through creates a fine mist for better combustion. If the float height is set too high up, then gas overflows past the holes rendering the small holes useless for atomization. So instead of a nice even mist of air and fuel, it just large droplets of fuel that get hung up on the rest of the intake and the bike will run poor, and if the float is set too low, then you will get a perputual lean condition that no matter what, it will run way too lean or way to rich if you attempt to tune for it.

Hey loving the vids for a while now! The airscrew is an easy beast to tackle, turn the screw fully in not tight just against the seat and then turn it 1 full turn out and then half so 1 1/2 turn total this should make for a good tuning base. Turning in the screw will cause a rich running condition at idle till 1/4 throttle Turning out the screw will cause a lean running condition till 1/4 throttle Give the bike a lively idle and then turn it down do a desired idle when the bike is warm. Hope it helps you’ve been one of the driving factors of me chasing the 2 stroke beast! Bye :)

You could try to take the power valve out and clean all of that up. It will help with the smoking, overall performance and that thick oil-ly liquid coming out by the header. The smoke could also just be the muffler packing is soaked from the rich-running condition it had for who knows how long lol!

i had a kehin carb with a worn out seat for the float needle. changed the float needle to a brand new but still leaked fuel from the overflow hose (i tried adjusting the float level too). Almost impossible to replace unless you got some special tools and skill. The carburator on "Hard times" doesnt have that issue but carburators can get worn out in many strange ways. The worst kind of dirtbike carburator clowns are the people that cut the throttle spring and think they are saving weight or something. The only thing it will give you is whiskeythrottle and its not very fun when it is a CR500.

I went with a friend in 2003 to pick up a new KTM 300 and I believe the engines are very similar. The dealership told us that the machine came with break in jets and set very rich but also had post break in jets included in the owners manual bag. I believe a person could have went past break in time and never put in the post break in jets.
