The slow jet draws fuel from the bowl and mixes it with air from the pilot air jet passage. The atomized air/fuel mixture then passes into the throat of the carburetor.
Turning the pilot air screw in will richen the air/fuel mixture while turning the screw out will lean out the mix
.

How do you adjust H and L screws on a carburetor?
How can you tell if a 2 stroke is lean?
How do you know if your 2 stroke is running rich?
If the bike sputters or sounds rough when giving it throttle, raise the clip (lowering the needle) until it runs cleanly
. There isn't really any way to test the needle other than by feel, but it's usually quite obvious when it's right or wrong.
How do I make my carb run leaner?
The first thing to do is not set up the idle speed, but to
set the Idle mixture screw to lean best idle setting
. First, turn in the mixture screw until the engine dies or runs worse, then back out the screw (recommend turning 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 turn at a time). The engine should pick up speed and begin to smooth out.
Are 2 strokes supposed to idle?
Simple answer:
yes, your 2 stroke dirt bike can idle without fouling the plug
. The problem is when you let it idle too long the more likely it will foul the spark plug.
How can I get more horsepower out of my 2-stroke?
How do you get more torque on a 2-stroke?
A smaller sprocket on the front, bigger on the rear will take-away top end speed and increase bottom-end torque
. A bigger sprocket on the front, and smaller on the rear will increase top end speed and take away bottom-end torque.
Can you put a turbo on a 2-stroke?
Can You Put A Turbo On A 2 Stroke Engine?
Yes, it can, but it's very complicated
. When the valve is lowered on a 4 stroke engine, the air/fuel entry is blocked, and the burned gas is ejected.
What happens when you run a 2 stroke too rich?
keeping the engine under a light load (you will only be opening the throttle to 1/2 or so) If the needle is set too rich
you will hear a sputtering like the choke is on and the acceleration will be slow
. If the clip position is too lean the engine will sound quiet and have a “dead” feeling possibly hesitating.
How do I know if my carburetor is too rich or lean?
This method involves looking at the base of the spark plug insulator (white part of the plug) for a slight coloring on the insulator just above where the insulator comes through the steel case.
If the mixture is too lean, it will leave no color, while a rich mixture will cause the fuel ring to become more prominent
.
How do I know if my pilot jet is too big?
The pilot jet is sized correctly
if the fuel screw setting falls between 2.5-3 turns out
. The pilot jet is sized correctly if the air screw setting falls between 1-2 turns out, with 1.5 being the sweet spot.
What are the two adjustment screws on a carburetor?
There should be two screws on the front of the carburetor, which are
used to adjust the air and fuel mixture
. Often these look like flat-head screws and you can use a screwdriver to turn them, adjusting the amount of fuel and air mixing in the carb.
What is the H and L on a carburetor?
They are typically labeled
L (low speed jet), H (high speed jet)
, and I (idler jet).
What does a metering diaphragm do?
How do you warm up a 2 stroke?
How do you tell if your 2 stroke needs a rebuild?
Shine a light in there and see if there's any noticeable scratches. You can look at the piston as well, but
any scratches/scoring that looks like something you can feel with your finger nail is damage
and will most likely need repair/replacement.
Is it better to run lean or rich?
TLDR –
running just a little lean could improve fuel economy and give extra power
. However, run too lean and you risk engine failure because the engine runs too hot. Whereas running rich can waste fuel and increase pollution but will not damage the engine.
How do I tune my main jet?
- Step 1 – Warm up the bike to operating temperature.
- Step 2 – Install a brand new spark plug(s).
- Step 3 – Perform a wide open throttle (WOT) plug chop. …
- Step 4 – Read the plug. …
- Step 5 – Determine if you are lean or rich based off plug color. …
- Step 6 – Repeat all steps.
Should a 2 stroke dirt bike smoke?
Since the engine is burning pre-mix oil we have to be careful here, because
blueish-white smoke is a normal occurrence of two-stroke engine operation
. However, excessive smoke after warm up can be an indicator of a couple problems.
How do you know if your bike is too rich?
- Strong smell of fuel when the engine starts.
- High fuel consumption.
- Dirty air filter.
- Formation of black soot around the spark plugs and exhaust pipes.
How do you Richen carbs?
To richen the idle,
loosen all 4 screws equally about 1⁄4 – 1⁄2 turn each
. Re-check idle quality and repeat as needed. If the idle is too rich initially, you will need to lean the idle by tightening the 4 screws equally about 1⁄4 – 1⁄2 turn each. Re-check idle quality and repeat as needed.
What do air corrector Jets do?
The main air correction jet
provides air for emulsification of the fuel delivered by the main circuit
. The resulting emulsified fuel is readily vaporized upon its entry into the low pressure region at the waist of the main venturi.
How much does it cost to tune a carburetor?
How Much Does A Carb Tune Cost? Carb tuning your bike at the dealer or the local shop usually costs
around $100 and could cost you up to $200 or more
