This IS Good, and I Have You Guys to Thank for it!!!

Remember when Matt was raggin on Lincoln for losing his watch, and opens this vid by saying mere got Matt a new watch since he lost it lol

Remember how your brother made his faster that’s probably why the black one is idling higher 😉 I’m also going to guess you turned able into a monster truck

I haven’t had a dad around for 7 years, so seeing the comments on how to fix stuff is very helpful

Hey Matt on the side of the carb there should be a little screw called the idle screw if you turn it a certain way when it's running it should fix the high idle and maybe on the other bike make it have a little bit of a higher idle, much love from Ontario! Edit: never mind I guess I should have watched the whole video lol

There are 2 or 3 Screws on the carb, one is near the air filter, that allows how much air the carb is allowed to get and the other one is in the middle somewhere. Thats your idleing speed, if you screw it in the idle gets slower if you screw it out the idle gets faster. Try that, it sounds like that is the problem

Mark is in heaven laughing at you trying to fix the motorcycle he modified to go faster 😂😂

Usually, there's an idle screw just to the rear of the carburetor. I have a bike with a Predator engine on it, and the screw is a Phillip's head, black plastic screw. Turn it to the left to reduce idle speed, to the right to increase it. That should be the problem, just a simple screw adjustment.

Matt. There should be a screw with a spring on it. On the side of the carburetor that you can screw in to idle it up and screw out to idle it down. It will be visible to see

I remember y'all set the governor on the black one wide open, that's why it's idling so high.

Adjust the fuel to air ratio and idle screw

I just went through cleaning the carb on my snow blower. A chipmunk or mouse packed the air intake and subsequently my carb full of small nuts. Found this out the morning we woke up to 19" of snow. After cleaning and clearing the small hole in the pilot jet it runs better than ever. Thanks to Steve's Small Engine Saloon, guys videos are great!

You're welcome. Glad to be of assistance. The high idle can be adjusted. A throttle grip has a cable that pulls on the butterfly valve in the carb. Follow that cable from the grip to the carb. There should be a exterior pivot point for that bfv rod on the outside of the carb. They usually use a stop screw that is adjustable for the idle speed on the cam at the end of the rod. Gas that has ethanol in it attracts moisture faster than non ethanol gas, so it goes bad quicker. As you know small engines need air and gas. The carb takes the gas and atomizes it with the flow of incoming air so it can be burned in the combustion chamber. The jets are the way of proportioning the correct mixture for atomization. They sometimes are adjustable with a needle valve (that goes thru the center of them) changing the size of the orfice to get the ratio of air and fuel correct for optimum performance. Check the air cleaners too.

I wasn't raised with a good dad. Watching Matt with his kids teaches me how to be a good one with my future kids.

Matty my boy. Remember when your brother broke the governor spring in his. Too make it faster. Yeah I would check that you gooby.

Hey buddy, I run premium fuel in all my small engines. i find it really help when stuff sits. It gets to minus 30c here and i no longer have issues like this.

Don’t worry about breaking it. If it doesn’t work anyway your not making it much worse. That’s how I learned. My dad a mechanic showed me and said the more you take apart the more you learn

Pro tip: When disassembling things, take a whole lot of pictures with your phone of the things as you disassemble them. That way, if you get lost during the reassembly, you can just go look at your pictures and put it back together again, from the pictures you took. The more complex a thing is the more important it is to take those pictures. If the words "I don't know" appear at all when trying to describe a thing and all of its parts, you need to take those pictures.

It's probably a throttle cable adjustment, or governor tension spring

Matt, running a small stiff wire from a typical twist tie for a small garbage bag through a carb jet a few times, followed by inserting the red carb cleaner tube into big end of the jet (screwdriver slot side) and held in good for several two or three second bursts generally takes care of what's plugging them up. She same goes for any small orifices in an aluminum, steel or iron carb body/housing, etc. As for adjusting the idle speed (and air-to-fuel-ratio mixture on carbs so equipped with such an adjustment), there should be an idle screw that can be slowly run in or out (experiment) to get the idle speed you want. On bigger and/or more sophisticated carbs there is also an air-fuel ratio screw, once your idle is set high enough but not too high, you mess with the ratio screw slowly to achieve the highest/smoothest idle and it should be adjusted correctly. If turning it increases your idle a little bit, turn the idle screw back down some and continue messing with the ratio screw until you have smooth idle at the right speed. Hope that helps you or someone else understand the process, it's easy after you do it once on a lawnmower, minibike, snow blower, etc. Cars/trucks with carbs are the same basically.

On the tan one need to adjust the high speed fuel mixture. And on the black one could be an idle screw, or the low speed mixture, or maybe a stuck throttle cable.
