My yfz 450 yamaha 4 wheeler runs great in 1/2 choke, but when i put it down to idle it starts to miss and dies, I have replaced all of the carb and I am getting ready to asemble everything, the one thing I need to know is how far to adjust the jet that has the spring on it. Is it 1 turn 2 turns? I have no idea?

    whats the jet in the carb if it's a 155 to 160 then I use 2 1/4 turn out 165 to 170 I use 2 3/4 turns out make sure float height is right so you don't run it lean and what mods do you have on the bike

Start about 2 turns out.
while idling when you screw it in a bout half a turn the bike will begin to bog down (rich)
as you screw it out the revs will increase and become uneven(lean)
pick a point between the two where the idle is smoothest.
this setting can change with different engine tempuratures, and altitude

2004 YAMAHA YFZ 450 Quad POPS OVERHEATS BREAKS UP AT HIGH RPM.

Question edited for full 'year make model (what it is).
Question moved from motorcycles to make model category.
Please don't type in all CAPS, it is considered SHOUTING and is harder to read.

'clips' and 'turns' it took me a while to realise you were talking about the carburetor and you were playing with the mixture screw and needle position! 4 turns out is a lot different to the factory setting which is 1 1/2 turns out.

If it is overheating it is running too lean. As you changed the stator, also consider the ignition timing. Popping can also be caused by the ignition failing under load, coil, lead and spark plug.

Carburetor and tuning.

This carb has a LOT of jets!

JUST REPLACED CARB ON MY 1992 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH A 4.3 LITER. NOW IT STARTS AND RUNS FINE UNTIL IT WARMS UP THEN DIES AND WONT START FOR 30 MIN

How many rpm's is it running at when you first start it up and it is running on the choke? Does it gradually start to idle back and then start to die r does it do it all of a sudden and dies?

When running with the choke on, it is on the high idle circuit of the carb, as it warms up the idle should slow down and then idle in the 800 rpm range in Park, 650 in Drive. This will be the low idle circuit range. This transition inside the carb will cover an idle air bleed hole in the venturi of the carb and lean out the mixture. If you notice that the carb smells gassy and black rich unburnt gases are coming from the tailpipe, the problem is located within the carb and requires a carb tech to do a rebuild of the carb. You could try a good carb cleaner like Lucas by putting it into the gas tank, in case you just got a bad tank of gas, but that is just a bandaid for a more deeply rooted problem. Get the carb rebuilt?

I have a 2004 Yamaha YFZ 450 the bike will start and drive but as soon as it warms up when you push the throttle it starts to cut out... What is the problem?

There is not really enough info in your post to narrow down the problem. Hesitation during acceleration can either be fuel related or ignition timing related. Once up to speed, will it maintain that speed smoothly?

If you have a timing light, check the timing at idle. If it is OK, then it is probably fuel related.

Assuming you have not messed with the ignition timing, if it idles, but won't accelerate, it is probably starved for fuel. 1.Check/change the fuel filter- easy and cheap
2. pull the fuel line off the carb, and make sure fuel flows from the tank freely.
3. If there is good fuel flow to the carbs, pull the carbs and clean them.

My yamaha 250 4-wheeler runs great but will not idle when the choke is pushed back in to run position. When choke is half way engaged it will run fine. Which screw adjustment on carb would fix...

John replace the idle jet $5.00 at a Yam. dealer (don't try to clean it ) & make sure that the idle mixture brass screw on the bottom of the carb is set 3 1/2 turns out from lightly seated. (don't break the tip off)

Engine cutting out with the choke off

Adjust your idle screw on your carb so that it gets more gas just sitting there at idle. Tighten the screw one and a quarter turn and then start the bike. Adjust the idle to where you think it sounds normal. If that doesnt work check your float in your float bowl, it might be stuck in the down position. Clean with some carb cleaner spray and make sure it moves freely before putting the float bowl back on, youll have to choke it or prime the carb again to get it started. All the choke does is let in more gas and oxegen so you might want to check how far the carbs close when you push the choke back in. Is it impeading any normal carb setting. Check that too. Good luck.
