Weird Question

At the moment i am trying to get hold of a carb for my dt125, ive posted in the wanted section and tryed breakers Razz

ive found a guy who has one, but he claims its a "round side" one. (basically the top of it is round), but i currently have a "flat side" one which has a rectangluar top.
does anyone have a clue if the round one would be ok on my bike ?! (1997 model)

thanks guys Wink

why do you need a new carb?
Mine was round as i rember 1995, shouldnt make a difference realy are they both the same size though as they changed them at some point i thought

Bike had problems reving high, sorta stuttered anywhere passed 8k and juddered about abit, felt like fuel starvation....

anyway we took the carb out to clean it, was clean as a whisle but the bracket which holds the 2 floats was a little bent so one float sat a little higher than the other. bent it back, and the bike stutters even more now, but acceleration is great.
also it seems its missing a screw on the right hand side, (possibly misture?) what side is your mixture on mate?

thanks.

Ewww as i rember its on the left hand side, ( if you sitting on it)

You can buy the new parts for the carb Thumbs Up

this "bracket which holds the 2 floats " do you mean the metal casing of the carb that holds a pin that the floats rotate on Shocked

its at the bottom of the carb. 2 floats, as petrol fills up floats move up an it opens a lil valve, at least that how i had it explained to me Razz

i will probably just get the carb and see if i can make all the tubes from my bike go into it Razz

thats just part of the floats mate. Go buy a new one wont be that exspensive and save the hassel of faffing about fitting a differnt carb that will probly have different jets/needle know yamaha Laughing

i moved the little tab that is connected to the floats to let a little more petrol in, bike sounds alot better, has a bit more speed, but still stutters top end like hell Sad

upon purchasing a haynes manual it seems i am missing a "fuel filter screw" and my pilot screw is completly screwed in and cant be screwed out.

drill it out and get new ones?

Hi

Make sure you have set the float height correctly. Yes you will need to remove the pilot screw. Hopefully having it screwed all the way in has not damaged the carb body.

All the best
