How does a carb mixture screw work?
An air fuel mixture screw is a special screw on an engine’s carburetor that controls how much air mixes with the fuel. Adjusting this screw changes how fast or slow an engine idles and how smoothly it runs.
When to use idle mixture screw in carburetor?
The idle mixture screw is only one facet of overall carburetor jetting, however it is one of the first places to start when diagnosing a poorly running bike (motorcycle) or ATV (quad). Follow the tips in this video to be on your way to being a jetting pro!
How to adjust the CARB mixture on a motorcycle?
Use a smaller main jet to lean it out. Air Temperature, Altitude, and Humidity Conditions Effects on Carb Mixture High air temperature, high altitude, and high humidity conditions require a leaner mixture. Low air temperature, low altitude, and low humidity conditions require a richer mixture. Check and Set Your Fuel Level in the Carb Bowls
How does carb effect throttle positions on a motorcycle?
Motorcycle carbs have a few circuits that effect different throttle positions. Pilot Circuit – small effect on idle. Higher effect at lower RPM’s with decreasing effect to full throttle Main Jet – Wide open. Fuel is metered through the main by the jet needle at different throttle positions.

How long does the carburetor squirt on a dirt bike?
Doing so reduces the squirt duration from two seconds to one, greatly limiting the potential for generating an overly rich mixture with rapid-fire throttle adjustments. I’ve detected no downside to the briefer squirt, but have instead noticed a more precise connection between my wrist and the bike’s rear wheel.
Can a 1 / 8 throttle change the fuel mixture?
If you have a rich condition at 1/8-1/4 throttle and you can’t go any leaner, try a smaller cut-a way. But thankfully, jet needle taper, diameter, “L” length and slide cut-a-way are usually not affected by most simple pipe/air filter modifications. The low speed (pilot) jet controls fuel flow at 1/8-1/4 throttle.
