Most air mixture screws you never have to mess with. In your case, someone else decided to do this for you. First, if your bike is running rough, make sure you do a THOROUGH cleaning of the carbs so that when you DO set the air mixture screw, it will do its job correctly. The normal procedure for the air screw is to start with the screw a few turns out (counting exactly where you are starting from) For this particular bike, lets say 2 full revolutions. Now, with the bike running, (it should be able to run as long as the carbs are clean) screw the mixture screw out however many turns it takes until the motor stumbles a little. This can be hard to hear sometimes, so you may have to repeat this step. When it stumbles, record how many turns it took. So, for our example, 2 turns, plus you turned it out another 2 turns, making it "stumble" at 4 turns out. Now, reset the mixture screw to 2 turns out. Do the opposite and screw in now, making note of when it stumbles again. lets say it stumbled at 1 turn in. Now we know that the best possible solution is to put the air screw between 1 turn and 4 turns out, which means you should set it at 2.5 turns out (which is half way between 1 and 4 turns out). After all of that is done, you will want to double check the synchronization of your carbs to make sure they are all within spec of eachother. I hope this helps.

Engine misfire

if it is under warranty , take it in for a warranty check
other than that it could be a problem ignition control module , breaking down at the high rpms
carby problems get worse with rpms and the idle /mixture screw is inoperable at high rpms
there is a possibility that it could be valve clearance for that cylinder but I would concentrate on the coil and ignition system area first

Have just pulled apart and cleaned out HUAYI PZ27 carby and want to know the setting for the air mixture screw at the back of throttle body throat? is their a set amount of turns from all the way in...

hi flicksters

have you seen the golden like screw on the carby? that is the color of air/fuel mixture screw for almost all motorcycle units,

first thing to do was to warm up your motorcycle maybe for at least fifteen minutes
secondly, fully turn the screw in by turning it clockwise,
and lastly, turn the screw counterclockwise and get the desired mixture, note that there must be no hiccups sounds when you accelerate..

goodluck
hope it will help you...

YZ 250 1995 2 stroke have spark,cleaned carby & fuel tank,good compression, mixture 35.1 cannot start my legs going to drop off... Timing has not been touched also use to start & run fine....

If you have a good fat spark and timing is stock, with good compression, your problem is likely fuel/air mixture. Assuming you have good quality fresh fuel/oil. Set air mixture screw one and a half turns out. What is the condition of the reeds and reed holders. Is there a build-up of fuel/oil residue on the piston port skirts or the crankshaft? Check for absolute seal between carby and reed valve manifold. Check for obstructions through airbox inlet, filter and inlet to carby. Ensure the governor is not fouling. The site link below has exploded view diagrams for all components of the bike to see how it all works. Good luck, cheers.

Won't idle until it is warmed up

Depending on the type of intake system, if it's a normally carburettored bike, there is an air mixture screw on your carby(s). Set this screw at one and one half turns out from being screwed to stop. Run bike till it is warm and set IDLE screw or throttle stop at optimum idle revs. Without using choke or throttle, turn the air mixture screw slowly in or out till revs build to highest level. Reset idle screw or throttle stop to set revs back down to optimum level as before. If this does not cure your problem, depending on if it's a 2 or four stroke, single or multi cylinder engine your problem may be one of many from fuel ratio, valve rocker clearance, ignition, plug range etc....specify make/model for proper info.

you definately have a fuel problem .
clean your tank first as deposits in the tank might have made way to the carbi .
the fuel/air mixture is one thing but your bike may have also oil burning issues .
try first by making sure the carbies are clean , fuel tank clean , the air mixture adjustment is tricky but usually screw the air mixture screw on the carbi all the way in and undo it 1.5 turn back and no more .
try that first and see how you go . the vaccum menbrane in the carbi may be defective too and may have to be changed .
have a look at all that and see how you go

Pops and shuts down after riding for awhile, only when you stop

Yours must be one of the last years with a carby? Sounds like a low speed jetting problem. Bike may be running lean on the low speed jetting. Suggest starting by adjusting air mixture screw ( pilot air screw) out to 3-3.5 turns, very gently and by 1/4 turns to richen the idle mixture. Once the needle jet comes into play, she clearly runs nicely, so it's most likely that air screw as MoCo set it lean. Good Luck
