Dt125 mikuni carb
-
Alright so as I'm getting progressively better at them wheelies and can ride longer, I've noticed stuff. The carb wants to piss out the transparent liquid gold (petrol).
Is tilting the carb the only way to go? Or could a float adjustment do the trick?
-
@irongamer727 Sounds like the flat is causing you issues.
-
@irongamer727 Float sorry.
-
@calum would I want to raise or lower it?
-
@irongamer727 Just make sure it's shutting off the fuel bud
-
@calum won't that affect my crusing, regular riding?
I mean the carb will tilt almost 90° on a real wheelie.
I've spoken to some guys really good at that rear wheel (they ride a dt) and some of them just plug the overflow. But I mean it's clearly leaking for a reason. Can't understand how plugging the owerflow works.
-
As far as I'm aware if you plug the overflow it will still dump the fuel, but it will dump it out the rear intake of the carb into the airbox, which will then get sucked into the engine. Never had or seen any problems with standard Dt carb during wheelies, and I know people who regularly scrape and coast.

@glynn123 someone's got to be the first
-
@irongamer727 doesn't seem like you're having much luck with this build mate haha
-
Plug the overflow lol, that's just masking the problem.
It'd be overflowing for a reason and the float is a pretty well balanced item, meaning it shouldn't just purely on gravity. You'd have the be upside down for it to shut, at which point you won't be needing any fuel.
I'm not saying adjust it, I'm just saying make sure it does shut off the fuel.
