With in-depth video tutorials from our mechanics, and reactions from creative commons online videos.
Stay tuned, and we’ll see you after the break for today’s video.
Constant maintenance is required for any motorcycle in order to use it safely and to its full potential. Both the bodywork and the mechanics of the motorcycle are critical for safe driving. One of the most common symptoms of a two-wheel malfunction is poor carburetion. Let’s take a look at what it means.
This obviously refers to the engine’s carburetion system, which allows the engine to be fed while also setting it in motion with a minimum and maximum jet of petrol. How to repair a faulty carburetor on a motorcycle.
What you need to know about motorcycle carburetion.
When the motorcycle engine is at normal operating temperature and the air filter is clean, the carburetor contains two jets and a needle:
- the idle jet in the carburetor’s lower section;
- the main jet, located in the tank’s central pin;
- In the carburetor’s guillotine, the needle connects the two jets.
By removing the upper part of the carburetor, you can access the needle, which is pointed with the tip down and secured to the carburetor’s guillotine with a ring. By moving the ring, you can change the height of the pin. The minimum and maximum jets are drilled screws with a number that represents the hole diameter. The smaller the hole, the lower the number, and vice versa. The larger the hole in the idle jet, the more gasoline passes through at idle speed.
How to Regulate Motorcycle Carburation
This is a useful operation for making the motorcycle’s carburetor work so that the mixture of air and gasoline is not too greasy or too lean. In fact, if the carburation is greasy, it indicates that it is high in gasoline, and thus the jets must be reduced in size. If, on the other hand, the carburetion is lean, it means the fuel is low and the jets need to be enlarged.
How to Clean a Grass or Magra Carburazione
To determine the type of carburation, the following criteria must be met:
- Warm up the motorcycle engine by idling it for 30/40 seconds;
- Accelerate: If the motorcycle responds immediately without clattering noises, the idle jet is properly adjusted; if it produces smoke, the idle jet is too high; if the bike does not rev up and makes a vacuum noise when accelerating, the idle jet is too small.
To evaluate the main jet and determine if it is correct, the bike must be brought to maximum rpm. It’s perfect if the motor maxes out in a linear fashion. If the bike sobs to get to the top of the revs, the main jet is too high; conversely, if the bike suffocates and thus does not have enough fuel, the main jet is too small.
Another indicator is the color of the spark plug: it is generally ‘nutty’ when the bike is running well, white when the carburetion is lean, and black when it is overly greasy.
To perform this test, remove the spark plug after thoroughly warming up the bike and pulling it to the maximum.
How does one regulate carburetor spillage?
This component is inserted into the gasoline flow from the main jet. If the engine makes a metallic noise when accelerating, the pin should be raised; if the engine appears to be almost flooded, the pin should be lowered, delaying the start of the main jet.
The carburetor air screw, which is located beside the idle adjusting screw (and serves to adjust the carburetion), has a range of action of about 4 turns starting from the full position. When closed, the optimal basic setting is one and a half turns from the starting point (counterclockwise).
When you turn on the bike and try to act on this screw to the minimum, then clockwise, you should hear the engine starting to make a metallic noise; turning the other way around, the noise becomes darker. However, if the adjusting screw is located behind the center of the carburetor, then the screw does not act in this way.
