Adjusting The Idle Speed And Mixture On some float-type carburetors , you can adjust the air -fuel mixture and engine speed at idle. Check for an idle speed screw designed to keep the throttle plate from closing completely, and an idle mixture screw that limits the flow of fuel at idle. Air screw are at the bottom back of the intake bell. Fuel screws are a total different animal and on the top in the front of the carb. Carbs will have one or the other, not both.
How do you lean out a carburetor? The first thing to do is not set up the idle speed, but to set the Idle mixture screw to lean best idle setting. The engine should pick up speed and begin to smooth out. How do you adjust a idle screw? Set the idle screw so that the engine is idling at a normal RPM. Something to consider, some of those oversized idle or pilot screws add a lot of weight outboard of the threads in the carb, and can wag under vibration, and Waller out the threads over time.

I have a PZ30 carb with the large idle screw on my bike. It is easily adjusted with just my fingers. So after starting with choke and a tad bit of throttle I release the choke and use the idle screw to increase the idle fast idle while the bike is warming up from a cold start. This allows me to let go of the throttle and gear-up. I then turn it back to normal idle and away I go. All times are GMT The time now is PM. Contact Us - ChinaRiders. User Name. Mikuni Motorcycle Carburetor Theory Motorcycle carburetors look very complex, but with a little theory, you can tune your bike for maximum performance.
All carburetors work under the basic principle of atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is a powerful force which exerts pressure on everything. It varies slightly but is generally considered to be 15 pounds per square inch PSI. This means that atmospheric pressure is pressing on everything at 15 PSI. By varying the atmospheric pressure inside the engine and carburetor, we can change the pressure and make fuel and air flow. Atmospheric pressure will force high pressure to low pressure.
As the piston on a two stroke engine goes up or goes down on a four stroke engine , a low pressure is formed inside the crankcase above the piston on a four stroke.
This low pressure also causes a low pressure inside the carburetor. Since the pressure is higher outside the engine and carburetor, air will rush inside the carburetor and engine until the pressure is equalized. The moving air going through the carburetor will pick up fuel and mix with the air.
Inside a carburetor is a venturi, fig 1. The venturi is a restriction inside the carburetor that forces air to speed up to get through. A river that suddenly narrows can be used to illustrate what happens inside a carb. The water in the river speeds up as it gets near the narrowed shores and will get faster if the river narrows even more. The same thing happens inside the carburetor.
The air that is speeding up will cause atmospheric pressure to drop inside the carburetor. The faster the air moves, the lower the pressure inside the carburetor.
Most motorcycle carburetor circuits are governed by throttle position and not by engine speed. There are five main metering systems inside most motorcycle carburetors.
The pilot circuit has two adjustable parts, fig 2. The pilot air screw and pilot jet. The air screw can be located either near the back side of the carburetor or near the front of the carburetor. If the screw is located near the back, it regulates how much air enters the circuit. If the screw is turned in, it reduces the amount of air and richens the mixture. If it is turned out, it opens the passage more and allows more air into the circuit which results in a lean mixture.
A carburetor is a mechanical device that combines air and fuel in an internal combustion engine. The carburetor controls the flow of air into an engine. The speed of the air entering the engine determines the amount of air pressure in the engine.
The air pressure affects the amount of fuel being drawn into the jet stream and ultimately entering the engine. A Mikuni carburetor is a specific type of carburetor that is manufactured in Japan and used in a variety of Japanese motorcycles, including Yamaha, Honda and Kawasaki.
It is a good idea to occasionally adjust a Mikuni carburetor to ensure optimal engine performance and to make sure that your bike is not putting unnecessary strain on the engine. Pry the air filter off of its mounting using the flathead screwdriver. Make sure the air filter is clear of debris and pop it back into place.
