Title: Any minibike experts here?
Post by: GlassCutter on December 30, 2013, 05:04:36 PM
I have a CRF 50 and a CRF 70 that are giving me fits trying to get running.  The little one won't run without the choke fully on, even though it ran fine when parked nearly a year ago.    And the big one has gas coming out of the vent in the bottom of the carb whenever it is running but not when turned off.  The drain screw is closed completely.    Any help?    Anybody want to buy the 50?

change the fuel in the 50. Remove the bowl " four bolts on the bottom of the carb" clean that and the needle and seat with carb cleaner and reassemble. let the kids have fun while you enjoy a cold one. You deserve it!

Depending on where you're at I will get um big running for a 6 pack of anything that's not Budweiser lol. Those are usually just a little elbow grease and some fresh fuel from starting. The tiny jets on them get hunker really easily. Float needle and seat too.

I have a little xr 100 and I messed with the dumb carb on that thing over and over and it would never run. It had spark and would not get any gas. So I rebuilt it let it sit in chem dip for two days and blew the crap out of it with 150 lbs of air still no fuel. then I found a china carb for 25 bucks shipped to the house. I put it on and it started in the 2 kick . Now I have a ttr doing the same thing.the gas now days sucks so bad!

GC, pull both carbs off and drop them by the shop, I'll run both through the dip and get them cleaned up for you.

I'd clean  the carb check the where the e clip is set on the needle which is on the barrel that the throttle cable attaches to and checking its not bent and turn tha air fuel all the way in a d back out half to 3/4 turns a go from there
