Make sure you guys and gals are SUBSCRIBED! New LT160 content is on the way soon!
Looking forward to it! Thanks for doing these videos. I picked up two of these a couple months ago. Lots to learn!
Thanks also for the link to pdf of the manual.
How do I remove the air filter trap? Seems like it should be easy but?
Also found one airbox with 1/2" of oil with gas smell. Guessing this is a valve issue or blocked case vent line?
Not really sure on the air filter trap as mine was remove by an animal be fore we got the 4 wheeler. Maybe someone in the comments has more info on this. Now the oil in there might be a check valve on the crank case vent hose. It could also mean there is a ton of blow-by. If the engine runs keep an eye on the oil level. If its burns oil might be time for a new piston and rings.
Thanks! Engine runs, no smoke so I didnt think about rings. Bogs on throttle but had been running and riding so I assumed carb. Saw your video and decided to clean/rebuild. I will still do that and change/monitor oil. First I'll have to look for a check valve and breather line. No PCV valve like on an auto engine, I don't believe.
Thanks again!
Your series of videos on the 160 is a real help. Thank you very much.
Thanks so much for your camera work. I’m an older women but still love working on 4 wheelers and I have a Suzuki 160 that needs these clean ups.
Your very welcome!
Thanks, the video was perfect, we’ve had trouble with our quad idling at a high pace, and recently it wouldn’t start. I tried the usual: charge the battery, check the spark plug, use starting fluid, even put additive to the fuel but sure enough it was junk in the two valves. Thanks!
Thank you for these videos I just bought one of these quads and this is helping so much
Your channel makes me sad. It has superior information that is USEFUL yet only 440 subscribers. The sad part is, if you were making an informative video, then going off and doing something insanely stupid with it, you would get more. (please don't do that btw)
Most of the comments too, they are from people like me that just want to know about their machine. I too have an LT 160 that I am desperately trying to make run. I need it to go from where I live to where I get essential items like groceries and meds 8 miles away. Walking that 8 miles is brutal. It's late may and already 100 f outside during the day. Watching what you have done to make your LT 160 run tip top has been very informative. Thank you. RUclips needs more like you.
stock air box intake is on the top frame tube (the one that runs just under the tank) I find that's plenty high for going through like 1¹/2 ft of water or more
Great great video...thanks so much!!!
I have a stock airbox if you still need one. I went with a pod filter. I’m also looking for the plastic piece that goes between the two front fenders under the headlight.
picked up a 160 and put a new Carb with the same style air cleaner in your video, do you have more info on how to re-jet the carb when removing the stock air box. Been dealing with the motor bogging on take-off from an idle and looking to correct the bogging. Great video, thanks for making it
I've always had a little bit of a bog from a dig if I go wide open throttle. If you have the same carb as the video you can adjust the mix a little more rich (add fuel take away air) and that may help. Also if your choke still works you can try to choke it a little to see if that has any effect. That will help you decide what jets to change to. I don't have a link but I'm sure there are plenty of full jet kits out there.
@@teamtrimm4461 how do you know where to set the idler screw at?.
I give a great detailed explanation on this in the video. Perhaps you missed it?
@@teamtrimm4461 the other screw then on the right. I got the 1 3/4 turns out on fuel screw
You want to set it at about1500 to 2000 RPM. Start the quad and turn the screw till it gets to that RPM. Then adjust the air/fuel screw. Then brings rpm back down to what is needed to keep it running.
Hi there, how did you block off the choke hole, please explain how u go about doing it, as I want to disconnect my choke, it's a pain🤦♂️
First of all great video , very helpful. It looks like I have the same carb. How would I go about getting a rebuild kit? I can’t read my vin to find out my year of my 160. The only thing I can read is Mikuni 02c 02 on the carb. I looked it up and can’t find anything on the last part of 02. I just want to order the same exact rebuild kit that you did.
Hey sorry for the delay in response let me see if I can't find what I ordered this was awhile ago

did you pull the oring out of the fuel screw?? you put the washer on the fuel screw on top of the spring its supposed to go under the spring against the oring
At 28:06 I noted this in the video. When editing I saw the mistake.
I've got a yellow 83 model that looks just as good.
Awesome!!! Hope your enjoying the videos.
I only subscribe because of the dog
I got a 160 on a trade and I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get it ti ifke at times. Yesterday i got it started after cleaning the carb. It idked after starting but as soon as i hit the gas it bogs down. I'm not sure if the needle needs adjusted. What position is your clip sitting on the needle? The air to fuel mixture screw has given me some trouble as well.
You're definitely getting too much air or too much fuel from the secondary. If the carburetor was completely clogged I'm going to guess that you're not getting enough fuel. Did you clean both Jets?
I got it to idle a few seconds and stalls out. I pulled out the jets and noticed the smaller one looks like it has broken down in the carb. It looked that way when I first got the quad. It looks like I'll be looking for another carb. I just don't like the fact the price of the original carb.
Its a tuff spot... OEM carb is crazy expensive. Chinese carb will work but lacks adjustment ability. Maybe check the lt160 FB group? I'll bet someone has one. Either way good luck!
Thank you! I will definitely have to check that out. I found another used mikuni carb on ebay for $45 so im probably going to purchase it and a new carb rebuild kit.. What size filter are you running on your carb? The carb hose I had broke so ill be buying a filter.
No sure what size it is... just one I had laying around from a china bike. Im sure you can fit one directly to the carb air side though. Amazon has them cheap. Good luck!!
Can you say what your sweet spot is on the Fuel screw?
For me it was like 3/4 the way out. But every carb is going to be different. Gently turn the adj screw all the way in. Next back it out 1.25 revolutions. Start the engine and make sure the engine is warm and set the idle at about 2000 rpms. Turn the adj screw .5 revolutions at a time out until you here the rpm drop. Then turn it back in until it goes back up. Stop and ride for a bit. Keep trying till you find your sweet spot.
@@teamtrimm4461 appreciate the response man. Just picked up a 160. You still have yours? Any major issues?
Yup we still have it. Im about to start doing videos on it again too. She's been sitting outside for the better part of a year while I'm getting a steel building put up. Covid jacked all the supply and permits up.. I'm always happy to help!!
@@teamtrimm4461 keep posting them! They seem very nice and bullet proof for a little 160!
Would it be possible to get in contact with you? I recently picked up a 160 and need some help with tracing wires as mine has a few missing and can’t find nothing online
Go to the playlist this video is in. Go to the Intro and CDI video. In the description you will find a download link for the service manual. All wiring schematics are in this manual.
@@teamtrimm4461 weres the link? I just picked up a 160 and also need the link to the manual
If you go to the LT160 Playlist, it's in the description of the lt160 intro and CDI video. Hope that helps!
What's the metal ,tin tin tin, saund?
I'm not sure I understand your question? What tin sound are you talking about?
@@teamtrimm4461 When you start quad engine working.. sound not very good..like metal tik tik tik..i have the same quad and the same problem
One thing that It could be on my end is that the sound from the camera is making it worse than it actually is. You are right though this 4-wheeler has always had a different sound than the rest of my four-wheelers. I have run this way for multiple years and have never had an issue. So unless you hear direct metal contact or you're damaging spark plugs I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure you're changing your oil regularly!
@@teamtrimm4461 I just buy this quad... that's why I don't like this sound like valves problem..
