Well i got some carb cleaner and used that but that little brass jet thing still seems to be clogged, but the now it has more power and it sounds better. The clutch is really messed up in 1st and 2nd gear then the rest are good other than sometimes its hard to shift up, and i was wondering where a good place would be to get a new clutch or something to fix this. Well thats all now. Thx

Hey i found that site last night but thx anyways, but do you know where i can get a carb rebuild kit cuz that little brass piece is cloged and it wont clean out. and also to fix the clutch do i just need the little disks from that site?

Hey so can anyone tell me what i need to fix a clutch and where i can find a carb kit? When i try to start it it stalls when either the gas os full and when its not pushed enought to keep the motor running. and when rying to start it goes out of gear when you try to shift into first from N and in other gears also.

One more thing i cant hook up the air box to the carb becasue it never starts and im wondering why this is doing that. and thx for the help

dude, if you KNOW things are clogged, why are you even trying to run it? it obviously is not going to run right. this "brass piece" you are talking about, do you mean the main jet? Just go to a yamaha shop and they should have the jet size in stock. only cost like 2 bucks. If not, they can order it for you and have it in a couple days. The yamaha shop will also be the place to go for your clutch.

If you plan to work any amount on this thing.. i highly recommend investing in a clymer or haynes manual.... it will help greatly !

the shifting thing could be a return spring problem... clutch.. shift forks etc.......

if the tranny was empty.. flush it out once or twice before you go too far with it.

Ok i cant get the motor to start now cuz i put the little brass piece back in. i wanted to know if that piece is supposed to be a hole or not.

**acidtrip** · 07-03-2005, 03:17 PM

Well i was told that the pilot jet isnt supposed to have a hole thru it. so i just adjusted the piece. so all i need to do is the clutch and buy a battery. Im gonna try to get a camera so i can post some pics of it so everyone can see. And one more question is there a way to make the plastic look better because there are faded spots. if not im just gonna paint it with some of that fusion paint.

There are several threads on here about restoring your plastic. I have done a couple Yamahas now & they look great. If your's is yellow, that is the easiest to restore. Don't waste your money on fusion paint, it'll just scratch off. Use that money to buy a manual instead. (Like I suggested about 25 posts ago) You won't regret it. Unless you have a lot of experience with your particular model, a trike w/o a manual is kinda like an 18 wheeler w/o brakes, a disaster waiting to happen.

this little brass piece is inside the carb I take it? If it is spray into the hole and spray into the exit of the piece (if you can). This will help dislodge anything that is in it. Also once you get a rebuild make sure the A/f screw and idle screw are ajusted properly, and If it wont run with the air box on either your filter is EXTREMELY dirty or the A/F screw is adjust so richly that any restricions causes the cyclinder to not get enough air to stay running at idle. Good Luck. You may need it

Sand and Polish your fenders, NO PAINT!

Do a search, you'll find lots of pages about restoring plastic

Take your time. The rear fenders alone took 10 hours.

Hey thanks for all the info and i hope people are not getting mad cuz i keep asking questions that may sound stupid but i really want to fix this and i doont want to mess anything up in the process. and for the brass piece it is the pilot jet sorta like the big one where the throttle needle goes into. i didnt no if the jet pilot was cloged or just didnt have a hole that went all the way thru.
