carb info for 125cc but of intrest to all

carbidle
The other day my rt125 started acting like i had a bad load of gas again
So off to the work shop to see what is wrong
when i get the carb off to clean it the idle fuel to air screw is missing
see picture below

i went to a local atv shop and was lucky and found the missing part
in his junk box

mine seems to run ok at 2 turns out it is very hard to adjust on the
bike (twoturns)

i made a wire from a solder lug and a piece of house #12 wire
I put a 10 cm piece in a vice and spin the other end with a drill
the copper wire will get very hard
use this to make a safety to keep the idle needle in the hole
i was lucky i lost my needle
most people would find it in there FLAT TIRE

you guy's with other type bikes may want to safety wire this part as well..
as it may be hard to find on a sunday afternoon 100 miles from
the house ....and any one following you does not want it in his tire

great idea. while on topic, i totally know what you mean by "very hard to adjust on the
bike (twoturns)"

how did you do it?

[DAVID THOMPSON]

took carb off did 2 turns set safety wire in place
put carb back on

by the way that wire in drawing is copper
put a piece of number 12 copper wire one end in a drill other end in vice pull hard
and pop trigger on drill it spins the wire making it hard use that and a wire spade
to make the safety so you do not loose the needle
USE SAFETY GLASSES PLEASE
