    Shout out to Oaky132x I had a clogged jet and the bowl needle hole, and nothing worked, even 120 psi air pressue,letting soak in carb cleaner...etc. I watched this video, went out and pulled a single bristle out of my wire brush and it was thin and stiff enough to get both clogs out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TRICK!!! Thanks again Oaky!

    Thanks for the info! My bike would not run with the choke off... I cleaned the jets with some carb cleaner and a guitar string. Now my bike runs perfect. Ready for spring!

    I was getting ready to trailer my Valkyrie to the repair shop for this problem. I didn't want to mess with the syncronization or adjustments on the carbs. But this shows me you don't have to mess with that. I may give this a try!! Thanks, Rog

    I agree with you that the pilot jets are often overlooked in a lot of these videos
    Warn winches used to come with stainless steel stranded wire that came in the wiring kit.
    The ground wire had a crimped connector and had strands of wire that were perfect for these tiny pilot jets.
    They are very stiff and don't break off easily in the jet.
    The best carb cleaner I've ever used was made by Ford. It was a penetrating fluid but it would eat that oxidized white crap as well as the fuel varnish.

      Hey i dropped my motorcycle going about 20 mph and now it wont run unless the choke is on. I can rev the engine high or low and it stays on. I can even force it to idle if i give it some throttle as soon as i turn off the choke but once i stop giving it throttle or choke it dies. I'm new to repairing and was thinking that the problem was either a air leak or according to this video the pilot jet might be clogged now??

    • @GoodBalak

      You dropped your motorcycle, and then it wouldn't start, which most probably means an air leak. A clog is unlike, but can't rule it out.
      Seeing that you asked this a while ago, what actually happened, and did you get it fixed?

    My Suzuki gs 125 only idled with choke, cuts out with a throttle twist. Just took the carb off and my pilot jet was blocked. Just cleaned it through like you did, hopefully it works when I put it back on the bike tomorrow! thanks for the video ;)

  • @romaboy5872
    @romaboy5872 8 лет назад

    Thanks oaky132x, This is the exact problem I'm having with my '82 V-45 Magna (won't idle unless the choke in on full) . When I saw that motor in your video I knew I had hit pay dirt! I've had the bike since new but as you can guess I've haven't driven it much in a long time. It's funny though under full throttle it runs like a bear with that Kerker header. I was looking for some direction and now I'll give it a shot.

    If your bike still can't idle with the choke off, even after jets are clean, check for vacuum leaks around the intake manafold that the carbs goes on to, also air filter box.

  • @137bob3d
    @137bob3d 6 лет назад

    great video. my serow xt224 bike runs poorly from idle to faster w/o the choke.
    so your ideas are most welcome as the path to a fix.
    first problem found tho is the slot on the jet that the screwdriver fits into
    is worn down. cant get a grip.
    ??? now how to remove it. maybe , for now , can just push in
    a wire and ensure the hole is clear.
    but downstream is an adjustment screw for idle
    mixture adjustment. guess they are both in the same idle gas circuit.
    and access to that screw is blocked by a brass plug.
    gotta get around that somehow. to ensure the blockage in the jet didnt simply
    wash downstream and plug up the openings from this mixture screw to
    the venturi space.
    ideas welcome.

  • @daniellewinton2398
    @daniellewinton2398 3 года назад

    Would this fix the high idle after revving and only running nicely on the choke? Would it be the same if only 1 jet was clogged when there is 4 cylinders?

  • @gmariconda

    I have an 85 honda sabre vf700 that won't run without choke so it's probably the same problem... but my clymers Manual says the pilot jets are on the side under a metal cover that will need drilled out to get to... and it shows main jet and slow jet inside the bowl... do I need to remove the covers to get to the pilot jets to make it idle or just do Like u did?

  • @wallienewen3446

    Did you say you removed the pilot jet with a flat head screwdriver? If so, can the same tool be used to remove other Honda pilot jets?

    Oaky, thanks for this video.
    I have a performance air filter(cone) and my bike wont run with out choke on, does this mean i have to increase the size of my jet and pilot jet? or just one?(new to mechanics)
    thanks! :) ps it's a cg125 and it's mixture is fuel lean.

    • @jerryking1434
      @jerryking1434 3 года назад

      If you haven't gotten it straightened out yet ...ive seen where you'll need to open up the jets 15 sizes bigger ..if your running pod filters and a header..
      Good luck...
