Rebuilt a Honda 450 this past summer & got in a hurry & f’d up the bottom oil ring on the piston. It still ran but would not stop smoking. I tried adjusting the carb but it was indeed the oil ring. Had to replace the cylinder again cuz the oil ring damaged the cylinder wall. Was an expensive mistake but I finally got it back together with a Wiseco 11.5:1 piston & no smoke. Runs great now. Good job on fixing the carb
@willm6017 4 місяці тому
Don't play with the throttle when kicking an FCR carb bike. The accelerator pump shoots fuel in and can flood it out pretty easily. Here's a trick to get them to start. With the fuel on and the bike off, open the throttle wide open 3 times fast. This will prime the intake with fuel. Then choke it and kick without touching the throttle at all. If it still doesn't start then barely crack the throttle open 1/16 inch and HOLD it open like that with your thumb on the throttle tube housing while kicking. Holding it open a tiny bit like that also helps with hard hot starts too. Works with all FCR carbs 450, 250, 150 etc. Great vid. Hope this helps someone

But it was just physically too big for me - on paper it was supposed to be like 15 lbs heavier, but it was more. I thought it was going to be the hot start button - always seemed finicky on mine. Great job diagnosing and getting it up and going, cheers mate

I've done my 2000 drz400e rear shock. It was actually simpler than the forks waaaay less parts in there. Basically comes apart with a flat head screwdriver, hammer, and an adjustable wrench. Of course you need a lossless Schrader valve filler thing, a regulator, and a tank of nitrogen to charge it when you're all done.

Glad you popped up in my recommended feed! This was a lot of fun to watch because I went through this exact process with my 2005 CRF250X, which uses a near identical carb. It sat for years and everything was gummed up. I wanted to increase my chances of only needing to remove the carb once, so I replaced EVERYTHING in and around the carburator(new jets, diaphram, fuel lines, and even an upgraded to a dual spray venturi), and it worked! Was a super rewarding experience. If I had to guess why the diaphram on your yamaha was disintegrating, the previous owner probably soaked the entire carb in Chem-Dip(or equivalent) without removing that section of the carb. Chem-Dip + Rubber = no bueno

I don’t feel sorry for him at all. He failed the basic test of being a bike owner, he wasn’t curious enough to ask the right questions, such as: How does a carburettor work?

The internet is a rich resource. Zero excuse for not fixing that bike.

I may be wrong but after you added oil to the cyclinder, besides testing your compression, it’s also acting as a smoke down test.

I just had a similar situation this week. My daughter bought a used Yamaha 125 atv for her son. The guy who sold it to her said that he bought it from someone and had been trying for 2 years to get it to run. He put 2 carburetors on it, a new coil and a new cdi box on it. She brought it to me and I ran a compression check on it and was really low. The spark plug showed no oil burning which was odd. Spark was good, fuel was good just low compression. Checked the valves and they were bad out of adjustment. Got them set right and the bike cranked right up. Adjusted the carb and this thing purrs like a kitten. Lesson here: Some people need to learn when they don't have the right skills to work on certain things and would save themselves a whole lot of money to take it to someone who does.

Just started watching today. That’s nice bike….great deal. Not everyone can do pretty quick diagnosis as quickly as you did. Great job. I’m jealous. Sweet bike.

Not sure how much they cost, but have you considered using the Pig Mats under your carb takeaparts??

Man, this is so cool... Inspirational... and the bike sounds like a beast! I've always wrenched on cars & bikes (basic stuff), and also do most of the work on my Enduro MTB... this makes me want to go out and buy a beater and get it working. 😀

You know when he says "lets kick this thing over a couple times" he's gonna kick it over about 50 times
