Tuning a Carburettor for Optimal Performance

Are you tired of cold starts? Need to raise the throttle everyday to get the
cold engine running?
Does someone have the same bike with same setup as yours and are you
tired of losing to him in drag races?
Suddenly, the fuel efficiency has reduced after a service?
Has the mechanic screwed up your tuning?
Engine gives hiccups when you open the throttle?
Or your bike is just missing that smooth acceleration whenever you want?
Or your engine overheats even if you did not race too much.

 May be the following will help you in tuning your mean machine for
optimal power delivery and best fuel economy. This guide aims at tuning
the fuel/air screw to give you an optimal air-fuel mixture.

This Guide Applies To:

All the single cylinder bikes, 2 stroke or 4 stroke having a carburetor.

Tachometer is very handy and a must for a newbie or the tuning process
will be very slow or painful or imperfect.

Disclaimer: Though whatever I have written here won't do any damage to

your machine. finally if you end up doing anything wrong, you must not
blame me for whatever happens.

SO LETS GET STARTED

Warm the engine nicely. Go get a ride around the town. Drive at least for
10-15 minutes so the engine system warms up nicely or you’ll get a bad
tune. Do not just leave the engine idle and start with process. I mean it.
Ride the bike.

 Now searching the fuel/air screw… These screws are responsible to

adjust the air-fuel ratio which forms ‘food substance’ for your engine.
There is another screw which sets the idle speed of the machine. This
screw is not related to pickup or mileage. It just sets the engine rpm at
’’idle’’ run. 2stroke machines have an Air screw and 4 stroke machines
have a Fuel screw. I hope you note this VERY well. Air screw is located on
the carb away from the engine. [ Engine - Carburettor - Air screw]
Fuel screw is located on the carb but its near the engine. [Engine - Fuel
screw - Carburetor].

Idle screw is closely linked with the throttle cable. Idle screw can be turned
by the hand. Screw driver is not essential for it. Finding these screws are
very simple. If you still cannot find the air/fuel screw, ask your mechanic
or I can help.

Ok now what? Apart from the above difference I gave between Air and
Fuel screw, there is one more major difference. Fuel screw turned in
(clockwise) gives a lean mixture and turned out (anti-clockwise) gives a
rich mixture. Air screw turned in gives a rich mixture and turned out
(anti-clockwise) gives a lean mixture. Lean means more air, less fuel.
Rich means more fuel, less air. This ends the basics.

GETTING THINGS IN ACTION

 Turn the idle settings screw so that rpm reaches about 3000 rpm. Now
tune the air/fuel screw to make the mixture leanest as possible. Please
refer to the above whether you must turn the screw clockwise or anti
clockwise.
As you make the mixture leaner, slowly the engine RPM decreases… Go on
doing this until you have put the fuel screw to the leanest possible point.
At the same time, ensure that the engine does not stall, by turning the idle-
screw.

Tough huh? You’ll get used to it

OK the engine is running and the mixture is lean. If you notice from the
engine sound OR if you see the tachometer, the engine RPM will not be
steady at this point. Now very slowly start turning the fuel screw anti-
clockwise, 1/8th turn at a time. You will notice that the RPM increases
slowly and steadily. Again, do this very very slowly.

You’ll notice that when you have turned it to about 3-5 full revolutions, the
engine RPM slowly becomes constant. It is this point that you must stop
screwing more. This probably is the optimal setting for your engine.

Further on, try turning the screw even more and more to 5-7 revolutions
and you’ll notice that the engine RPM will slowly decrease. When this
happens, you are just putting in a too rich mixture in your engine. At this
point the engine loses all the fuel efficiency and the mixture is not optimal.

Anyways, repeat the process about 2-3 times and get the setting which
you feel is correct.
OK the engine is humming perfectly, now what? Decrease the idle setting
screw to about 1100rpm in the tachometer. When the engine slows down,
just twist the throttle. The response should be crisp and quick. It should
not give any hiccups! Try shutting off the engine and restarting. The
engine MUST start in a single kick or self with out giving throttle. If this
happens, the setting is ok. Now get a ride and you’ll notice the difference
for good or bad.

You’ll immediately notice change in the engine sound and the throttle
response. Your engine can become more smooth or harsh. Another
important point is, Ride and Feel. Always take a ride and get the feel of the
bike in each gears, check the response and the engine sound. You’ll
quickly come to know once you get the feel of the bike that you want to
make the mixture rich or lean.

It may take a few iterations before you fix a setting as permanent. Try
calculating the mileage per liter and tally it with your setting and the
feeling you get.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Here are some symptoms and their quick solutions:

•Engine dies while tuning.

Try the process all over again. This time set the idle screw higher/faster.

•Engine gives hiccups while driving, specially while in higher gears.

May be the mixture is too lean. Try again.

•Engine heats up.

The mixture is too lean or too rich. Try again.

•Whenever I race up the engine, the rpm increases fast but very slowly
comes down to idle.
The mixture is not optimal, probably towards leaner side. Try again.

•Too much low end torque and the engine sound is very beaty/thumpy.
You’ll face a low mileage surely, when you drive below 40kmphr. You have
tuned on the higher/richer side.

•I have doubts or I have other problems.

Why don’t you put in a comment?
I hope this helps! Take care. Any comments are invited.

Garry bhaiya, for me the tuning is not rite, but the bike is as smooth and
vib free as it can get. The only problem im facing is start up. If i keep the
idle RPM @1.1k , the bike wont start. I f i keep it at 1.3 or something, the
bikes rpm will jump to 2k rpm when the engine is hot [and idle]

Yours doesn't seem to be a tuning problem. The problem is that
you're setting the Idle RPM when the engine is COLD. Set the
idling to 1.1-1.2K WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT and the problem
of RPM rising to 2K will be solved. Never adjust tuning or idling
RPM on a cold engine and keep your spark-plug electrodes
clean. Moreover, if the bike still struggles to start in the morning
(though it won't), use choke.

My engine gets overheated even on smallest rides (4-6km, and shifting
gears at 5-6k rpm), Plus the mileage has dropped drastically, although the
performance hasn't dropped and it runs nicely when the throttle is
twisted...

Can u tell me whats up with the engine tuning now and how should i
rectify it..??
Reply

Gaurav Kamboj 21 April 2013 at 02:57

Did you fiddle with the tuning?
Actually reduced mileage clearly tells about rich mixture. On the other
hand, the overheating problem points towards exactly opposite but that
might also happen because of bad setting of idle RPM.
From what you've told, the first thought goes like you are running rich and
the idle RPM needs to be set again. Share a picture of spark-plug's tip (the
end which goes into the cylinder) so that we can have a better idea.

Yea.. i own a Pulsar 200NS and its CO level was more than 10,
then had to take it to the svc guys and they did the afr job but
always there stood a problem.. now tired of all those service
men thinking to perform the tuning on my own..

Any tips i should take care on this particular bike while tuning..
p.s. i have never tuned any bike and this will be my first time..

Gaurav Kamboj 21 April 2013 at 13:04

As the bike is new and is under warranty, I'll say don't fiddle with
it yourself. Maybe you can go to some other service station and
get it rectified. You are new, the bike is new, so I won't suggest
tuning it yourself.

My bike has a problem. After accelerating and letting go of the throttle, the
exhaust not has quite a few loud popping noises. Is thus a carb problem?

Gaurav Kamboj 16 July 2013 at 23:47

This can occur due to rich mixture, along with few other reasons
which are not related with carb like bad timing etc.. I'll suggest
first check if your air-filter is clogged and get the carb re-tuned
by some experienced mechanic.

Benny Ramos 27 June 2016 at 09:02

Might want to check you exhaust manifolds for any exhaust
leaks try to find carbon leaks near your manifolds and replace
exhaust gaskets would take 10mins if done properly

Unknown 25 August 2019 at 19:25

A kind of rumble can be expected when the idle is ok but at the
lean (weak) side. Loud bangs are due to leaks in the exhaust
system

Gaurav Kamboj 17 July 2013 at 19:33

Yeah! Increasing the idle helps in observing the uniformity of
exhaust note better, also the movement of RPM needle
becomes more prominent on increased idle. So it helps us tune
better as a newbie :)

Kappala Sathvik 4 November 2016 at 19:25

When you mean movement, you mean to say the needle moves
uo and down or it just vibrates rapidly.

Are you sure its missing while 'accelerating' and not when you
leave the throttle (de-accelerating)?
Well, if you're talking about engine tending to die while
accelerating then it could be because of some water in carb.
You'll find the overflow screw at the very bottom of the carb.
Loosen it a bit and let a little petrol flow out. Try this, if it doesn't
help or if you're talking about missing while 'de-accelerating'
then tell me.

hi rakesh, i am not an expert myself but have been doing some
 online research on carburetors. Regarding your problem, i think
it is related to the main and pilot jets in the carburetor. Air/fuel
ratio, if incorrectly set, will cause rough engine sounds through
the whole range of rpm (low to high) and not only in high rpm.
Try to either clean your carburetor jets, and check the needle
and float. It seems like the pilot and main jets are not the
correct size.

You need to observe the exhaust note. It should be beating
uniformly at the optimal tune (or you can choose to observe the
tachometer instead. The needle should be steady at optimal
tune).

ok... this is what i did and my bike is great! I took idling up then i screwed
the screw in till the bike almost dies then i slowly turned the screw out.... i
could hear the revs going up and i kept turning... the revs kept going
higher... and then on a spot the revs stayed the same for about 1/4 of a
turn then the revs dropped.... i then screwed it in 1/4 where the revs was
the highest point..... is this right? Bike runs well and sounds nice ....

my valve and tappet are making noise bike is taking much more time to
conquer speed of 90kmph Poor Pickup ,Engine giving hiccups ,Whenever I
race up the engine, the rpm increases fast but very slowly comes down to
idle. engine heats ups very quick
my bike has a auto choke but still it dies in the morning...??
my odometer shows only 534 km
and my bike is running like im using a old bike

Abhishek Lall 27 February 2015 at 08:26

From what you've mentioned, looks like you're running a lean mix (less fuel
and more air).
Take it to SVC and have it set correctly and it will be back to how it was !

As you've increased the capacity, I'd say get an air filter which
could feed more air into the engine. Aftermarket free flow filters
might help you. Though I usually don't recommend those to
people as it reduces the life span of engine but as you're already
into racing and modifications, I think it won't hurt you much. Get
an aftermarket free flow filter and tune the AFR according to
that. You may or may not require upjetting.

hi, my bike is 4 stroke, initially i turned-in the fuel screw fully in but 1/4
less, so that the engine runs and i set the idle rpm to 3000rpm. Now
slowly i anti clockwise i screwed-out the fuel screw, at 2-3 complete
anticlockwise turn-out--the engine rpm is idle. Further again i turn-out fuel
screw out to 3-6 revolution-the engine rpm increase slowly. Now after 6
revolution of fuel screw further turn-out 6-7, the engine rpm decrease.
Now where should i set the fuel screw-between 2-3 revolution i.e 2.5 or at
6 revolution.

Set it at the first balance point you get which is 2.5 in your case.
Ride it for some time. If the throttle response is crisp and the
spark plug tip is brown (check after 50-100 kms.) then it
confirms your setting is optimum.

You're running the rich. Turn the airfuel ratuo to the leaner side.
Tge fuel supply is more with less air so its having trouble
breathing when you go hard on gas. Reduce the fuel supply.

Hi, I have CB Unicorn 5400 kms done. after giving to service i could feel a
different engine smoothness. if i twist the throttle suddnly when i am
abouve 60kmph, i feel there is no response(like how if the fuel is about to
be empty) and aboove 60 it will take lot of time to reach 80.. then i thought
of adjusting carb as per the steps given here. i did it and then the
performance was mind blowing !! no vibration, crisp acceleration and
could reach 100 in some seconds.. but when i observed, i felt engine heats
up bit quickly even if i ride slowly.
i will explain how i carried out the tuning step..
1. Engine was warm actually. i had travelled around 15 kms before doing
this setting
2. I turned the idle screw to 3000 rpm.
3 then turned the screw to leaner side. (fully clockwise till the end)
4 Then started turning anti-clockwise slowly. (around 2.5 full revolutions)
5 turned the idle screw back to 1100 rpm.

Is this method proper?

Observations while setting carb :
1 felt engine was heating a lot.(cud feel a lil smell whn i went very near to
engine)
2 when turning anti clockwise from leanest point, after about 2 full
revolutions, engine rpm was about 3250 rpm and was constant. i left the
setting at 2.5 revolutions) and then turned the idle screm from 3.2 k rpm
to 1.1k rpm.

was this the exact method of tuning or once i set idle to 3k rpm, do i ahve
to set it to 1.1k when i set the leanest point ?

If tge bike is overheating then it means you are running lean.
The method you described above is the right method to tune
and if the observation of uniform exhaust note (optimum point
while tuning) is correct, then it shouldn't be a problem. Is your
throttle response crisp? Does it get started easily in the
morning? If answer to both questions is yes, then try making it
just 1/8th turn richer (anticlockwise) and then adjust the idling
to whatever idle RPM is recommended for Unicorn. Usually ithe
recommended idling is 1.1-1.4 only and shouldn't make much
diff between this range.

So you mean to say that i neednt set the idle screw back to 1.1k
rpm once i turn the screw clockwise to the leanest point..
i asked this again because the rpm goes above 3250 when i turn
anticlockwise above 2 full revolutions and i felt may be this is
the reason for heating
 Vidhath Herle 16 April 2015 at 16:39
And one more thing what i observed is that how much ever i
turn anti clockwise, the rpm dint come down.. til around 9+ full
turns.

Gaurav Kamboj 16 April 2015 at 23:37

No, I didn't mean that. You sure need to bring it back to 1.1
using Idling screw after you make adjustment with the AFR
screw.

And don't see it the way that it will come down or go up on

turning anti-clockwise. What you need to notice is uniform
exhaust note pattern. That is where you're gonna get the
optimum air-fuel mixture.

Greetings All,

Posting after a long time owing to a new job and other reasons

completed 10k on odo - ALL STOCK

Lately, experiencing a flat spot b/w 5-6k rpm

SVC rep cleaned the air filter, all plugs, drained fuel from carb and
adjusted AFR but no good.

tried adjusting AFR on my own..from 2 turns out to 4 turns out from fully
turned in screw position...but no luck

bike avg is 46 kmpl at 2 turns out and 35 kmpl at 4 turns out (tank full to
full) but didnt get rid of flat spot

Just cant cruise at 75-85 kmph which happens b/w 5-6k rpm

bike still pulls great post 7-7.5k and reaches 142 odd speedo indicated
have re-fueled from a different petrol stn but didnt help either

SVC advises against opening the carb and checking

Any pointers suggestions at all?

too but now after the cleaning looks like its got even worse with more fuel
coming out. What do i do for this problem?
2) When i ride my bike and i am around 70-75kmph between that speed
around 70-71 i am facing a slight missing between that speed only
otherwise its normal.
Not sure if that issue is also because of carb. Tapet adjustment was also
done recently and there s no noise of tappet.
I hope you can help me out and give me the best solution cause the SVC
guys are pathetic and i do not know how these mechanics are hired with
no knowledge of bikes.
Infact over a period of time with some or other issue arising in bike i m
myself learning how 2 sort it out than the mechanics :D

If the 1976 KZ750 standard idle in the manual says 950-1050 RPM's, and
my bike stalls at that but works fine at 1400-1500, plus the fact that the
carbs on it were said to be abominable (1978 Cycle Magazine) then is it a
false hope to reach a 950 idle?

Hey. After my bike is properly warmed up, my bike noticeably jerks when I
twist the throttle. Also there is a noticeable flat spot at higher rpm when
the bike just doesn't accelerate properly till 8k, after which it picks up like
crazy. Very bad mileage as well, like 27-28 kmpl. This is a Pulsar 200 AS.
I'm going to try and tune the bike myself, but I'd like to hear your thoughts
as to why this is happening.

I have a 02 r6 with a 4 barrel carb how should I tune it? Should I tune carb
1 then sync the other 3 or all 4 at once cause this has been a huge pain.
First lean then rich now a little of both and the screw are hard to access
can't adjust with bike running as I have to remove gas tank but carb 1 is
easy access while running and tank on
Reply

Unknown 1 June 2016 at 14:04

I have a problem. Whichever lean or rich mixture i put my a/f screw, my
bike still has throttling problems. The idling is okay at startup, it won't die
if the throttle is untouch. But if I slowly twist the throtlle the carb feels like
drowning and dies. But If i twist the throttle a little faster or fast, it wont
die . There is an rpm point where my engine dies or feel drowning even at
warmed up or even when running. something like 1600-2000 rpm is not
stable for by carb. Remember that I completely did your instructions but
still don't work. My bike is the 2016 Suzuki Gixxer 150 (154.9cc) And the
carb is problematic i guess, i tried different fuel brand but still never
worked.

rides so tough when I launch on first gear the bike always do wheelies
even on second and third gear but when I hit fourth gear a lot of hiccups
occur..Ive tried setting the pilot jet and the air jet several times Ive got
combinations of 110-40, 125-45 and 111.08-41.08 the last setting I did
was good never hiccups through all gears but a rough idle, great start at
mornings but when all warmed up idle become rough but responsive and
aggressive when I twist the throttle..is there any problem whit that? Since

the engine produces more power with a semi rough idle..how do you think

Recently I have changed the carburetor ie. Honda type(spaco make). I
have problems related to setting of the fuel consumption.
Last 2 months back it was of with an average of 44/45 per liter.
Now its giving an average of 33/34 kmpl. Since it has drastically reduced I
need your guidance and expert advice. to retain back the average.

Hi,
I bought Honda Unicorn 2007 model few days back and this bike was
sitting idle for few months with the previous owner.. as soon I got I felt the
bike need some servicing as when you rev up it comes down
(deaccelerate) slowly.. and this causes high revs while changing gears..
I have good hands on in mechanical stuff so I opened up carb and saw lot
of crud sitting in float bowl.. used carb cleaner and gave complere clean in
n out.. sprayed from jets n all holes.. choke piston was dirty so cleaned it
too.. re-assembled and started tuning.. I tuned hopefully good but still see
the revving issues.. also when bike is hot it revs very high on its own
around 4-5 rpm.. this is same thing happening from day one I bought the
bike.. after a lot of diagnostics I unplugged Throttle position sensor (3
wired sensor on throttle butterfly) and the reving stopped...
I checked sensor with multimeter and its fine...

Now my question is :
1. Where does this TPS connects in unicorn? In car I understand it goes to
ECU which in turns adjust fuel injectors.. but in motorcycle I dont know
where does it goes..

2. Running bike without sensor gives sudden pickup issues while over
taking.. with sensor bike has good pickup.. means surely its controlling
fuel & air feeding to carb... but nowhere i can see any elctronic
adjustments / relays or coils near carb or air filter..

3. Can some one source wiring diagram of Honda unicorn or atleast

service manual so that I can see function of TPS in two wheelers.

Please help me out guys.. has anyone faced such issues earlier?

Top speed doesn't just depend on tuning, or a matter of fact, not
just engine. Your post suggests that it can be literally anything
that could be wrong after the accidental repair. Get your bike
checked in person by a skilled mechanic, that would need
physical inspection.

Moreover, I'd just add a little unwanted advice. Do not stretch

your bike to its limits. 100kmph itself is more than sane speed
for Shine.

Has anyone else mentioned the mass airflow sensor? This electronic
sensor measures the amount of air and fuel so there is an accurate
mixture. For most vehicles, the mass airflow sensor connects to the check
engine light so drivers are aware if there is a problem causing the engine
to take in improper fuel to air ratios.

because of lean mixture or rich mixture.

I have Honda activa recently I serviced and later found my engine tuning
was screwed up, resulted in sudden engine off while waiting in traffic
signal. With frustration I tried to tune my engine on my own with the help
your post and some videos.

Now here's my problem my engine is giving more mileage than before and
I am worried it may be bad.

My previous mileage was 45 kmpl now it's like 55 kmpl.

You said to keep the fuel screw in 3-5 revolution from least position but
I've place it only half revolution from the least position in clockwise.
Because that's where the engine sounded better.

My scooter running smoothly other before and no problem so far. But I am

worried that maybe tuning the engine give more mileage may damage or
overheat it. So please give me advice.
Thank you.

Hello,

How many turns of air-fuel screw can give the better mileage and
optimum power in 150 CC Honda CB unicorn?

Please help, My bike has some vibrations and crackling noise from engine,
its like piston is hitting hardly to something else. I am getting this problem
at 3-4 gear. while speed up the bike. I usually shift the gear around 5k-4.5k
RPM.
