YT175 carb kit

[Macs]

i am having some trouble finding the yt175 carb kit. i have tried various places without any result. I am aslo looking for a pull rope rebuild kit for it.

hey, do you need a complete kit or just pieces/parts? blaster carbs are the same basic design (mikuni vm) so some parts will fit.

well, i have cleaned the carb and i am still having problems. So i am doing process of elemination. I would love to find a nos carb for it. I thought it was the fuel pump. i replaced it and it didnt change a thing. At idle it does great. but with it in gear and i put a load it will not do much over idle without completly flatlining. I am thinking it is fuel starvation but i cant figure out why.

hey, did you get the needle jet out? the one in the carb I have was plugged. can you spray carb cleaner through the slow jet? blasters have problems with the slow jet plugging too.

i can spray carb cleaner through all of them, but i dont get the free flow that i think i should.

hey, can you get the slow jet out? on the right side of the carb is a little flat pad, does it have 2A6 stamped on it?

[Macs]

i am not sure, i am going to open it up again tonight. i can get all of the jets out.

Is there anything that uses the same carb?

hey, I'm not sure what this carb is off of, thats why I'm looking for numbers. Is the engine # 2A6-xxxxxx, or something else?

i am not sure, i am at work right now but i can check when i get home.

Ureeka!!!! i fixxed it. The float valve was screwy. I just started replacing parts i had out of other carbs last night. After i replaced it it ran like a champ. But it revved out of control when i first cranked it and now the lower end is making a loud whining noise. i am thinking it is the pull starter cause it doesnt sound right to me.
