Need Help with x15 stock carb

I have a x15 bike which i recently wanted to getbackon the road because the bolts broke in the rear wheel....that's fixed now but i found i have another problem. I found the bike doesnt stay on unless im pressing the throttle, So i took the carb apart and cleaned it but still the same problem...I need some help with this

did u try to adjust the a/f ratio screw on the carb?

Turn the ratio screw(it's the goldren screw with the spring on it) a tiny bit clockwise. The more you turn the more gas it will give it by itself, and the louder the bike gets, you will see at one point the more you turn it, the bike will start moving by itself.

I turned the screw with the spring on it but for some reason it has no effect even when i turn it all the way in it stillhas no effect....i wonder why

has to somethin with the fuel delivery system. could it be too long of a throttle cable in the carb?

Just cleaning out the trash in the floatbowl and making sure the jets are clean is only halfway cleaning it..Theres 20 small tiny crossflow holes in the mainjet tube thats probably still blocked up thats why the a/f screw does nothing.When you reopen the carb to thouroughly clean the carb theres a float restrictor tab in the floatbowl bottom that needs to be ground down to acheive a better starting,idling and running bike...Peace

thz for the info ill try this out today ill give yall the results when im done

edit: what do you mean by throttle cable to long cause that might also be a problem if it is is there a way to adjust this cable

ok im still having problems i didn't grind down the tab yet but still that would make a difference but not with the bike shutting off every time I get off the throttle is there anything else that could be the problem. I'm trying to get this running smoothly anything at all would be of help thanks.

Have you tried adjusting the idle screw or checking the float height and reset it if its not with-in specs...If the float is set too low the fuelbowl will not fill up all the way and starve the pilot jet[idle jet] causing idling and running problems by making the engine run lean...when the float is set too high the carb will either run the engine rich or overflow gas..............The proper setting for the float is 10 degrees.The float restrictor tab is also the cause of the problems too by hindering the proper range of motion of the float so doing it would only be a plus to you if you do ,it..If not youre gonna have a bike that starts hard,idles rough and backfires alot......Peace

ok i was trying to avoid doing that i didnt want to mess anything up but i guess i will have to do it...one more thing you said the float needs to be 10 degrees .....by what instrument did you measure the float with?

You use a small stainless steel scale in inches...Theres a diagram below or you could look in the pic in the previous post and match your float to the angle in the picture by eye too if you can notice the angle in which it sits in the pic..If not the steps are below..


Other things to check too is how the plastic isolator between the carb and intake is installed correctly and the mount bolts were both cinched evenly before tightening...the o-ring on the isolator should be on the intake side as the carb has its own built-in o-ring on the mount flange...Another thing to check is to make sure its not cracked or the fuelline doesnt have any kinks in it and the fuelfilter is installed correctly...Peace

cool thanks for the info again your really alot of help so ill follow this steps and give you the results when I do....also i was wondering could compressor be part of my problem also
