Getting The Damn Cap Off The Air/Fuel Adj. Screw By straightbangin (Read 5,334 times)

good info as usual alleyoop, thanks, ya the valves were a piece of cake. ill check the air filter tomorrow

[straightbangin]

seeing as how i am going to prob have to wait a week for a new carb to come in the mail is there any point in trying to keep drilling and see whats behind it? PERHAPS a screw although unlikely? LOL or is that just pointless at this point? LOL. So basicly these scooter carbs they come with, if w out an a/f screw are pretty much useless? I could always do ebay but do u guys recommend any websites for scooter parts? Thanks

Scrappydog has a nice lookin' carb for $39.95 plus shipping:

Scroll down a little.

Thanks Cruiser I just emailed him to confirm it has the A/F ratio screw that is uncapped / unplugged and ready to go

[straightbangin]

what do u guys think of this : cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Carb-Gy6-50cc-Carb-Carburetor-50-Moped-Scooter-SunL-JCL-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2304321483QQitemZ150394246275QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories its cheaper and 2 other people that bought the same one from him seemed happy. It looks like the a/f screw is right there and open. However it is jap i guess, does it matter if its jap vs chinese since my scooter is chinese? Also if mine says 18mm, is that all i need to know or do i need to measure other stuff on it too? Any idea where on the carb it will say 18mm or the size? sorry for being such a dumbass


well at least w this useless one i can practice taking it apart and putting it back together, should i need to in the future... and maybe use it for parts. that's the bright side

It says it has a 27mm and 40mm opening, the 27mm is for the intake side and the 40 is for the air filter side. That is to big.

Sounds like a good deal. The carb looks right. Jap standard most likely means it's a copy of a Japanese carb. Here's the carb that's on my 50cc.

[straightbangin]

gotcha. 18mm will pretty much tell me the one i need? or whatever it says on my carb? lol

[straightbangin]

cruiser im am jealous of your A/F ratio screw LOL

[Alleyoop]

Here is one that says 18mm:

ya i saw that one too alleyoop, good deal but i couldnt seen in the pics if the a/f screw was exposed. i just messaged him to ask. it doesnt look anything like my carb, so kinda scared LOL. sigh, long day. thanks for ur help guys.

[Alleyoop]

Yea, I noticed that as well and sent him a question about it as well(HEHE). If its plugged he sure tried to hide it.

[straightbangin]

ya thats true.think i should keep drilling mine for the hell of it? or prob no hope of a screw being behind it? LOL

[Alleyoop]

First check you air filter it may be all clogged up and flooding it causeing it to bog. You can check if it is flooding by taking the plug out when it happens if its all wet then to much fuel. If it is dry then not enough and having the Fuel Ratio screw will fix it so you can richen it.
I would think it is flooding though sense your in Florida and with all that heat the scoots do not need a lot of fuel they NEED LESS FUEL. So my thinking is your Air Filter is Clogged probably with maybe OIL and blocking the air.

i will check, that is just the long spongy thing on the side right? wow that may be the dumbest question i have ever asked here. Lol. long day. i checked last time on my old scoot after like 1,000 miles and it seemed very clean but i washed it with soap and water, rinsed well and let it dry.
