    Feedback on my build YZ 125 Shifter. PICS

    I am not sure where the needles are on the carb but what I did was take the bowl off. Clean out the bowl. Then I cleaned the two floats, the peice that moves based on where the floats are, the little needle under that, then I unscrewed a brass fitting and cleaned it. I then cleaned all holes in...

    Feedback on my build YZ 125 Shifter. PICS

    Just an update.. Blowing into the pulse line does nothing. I have to suck blow suck blow suck blow etc to activate the vacuum. When I do that the pump works like it should but it doesnt push it all the way into the carb. It will push the fuel up until the fuel line starts to arch then it stops...

    Feedback on my build YZ 125 Shifter. PICS

    I did some modifications to the setup. I shortened the pulse line to about 8 inches and I have used some 8mm auto fuel line. It is hose clamped on both ends so it isn't leaking. I also moved the fuel line on the pump from the one directly across from the "IN" to the one on the side. I can now...

    Feedback on my build YZ 125 Shifter. PICS

    Thanks for you input. I will look into mounting it right there. But I am open to other suggestions. As far as the carb, Does it have to be at a straight upright position? I have never dealt with 2 strokes or engines this size so I am not sure. The parts are all stock so that is the normal...

    Feedback on my build YZ 125 Shifter. PICS

    I just completed the YZ 125 shifter kart build. However I am having issues with fuel getting to the carb. I have did some tests and it seems that the pulse is not strong enough. I read online that the pulse line needs to be less than 12" and right now it is probably around 16". I can suck/blow...

    2 Hose Fittings On Mikuni Carb? HUGE PIC

    I have a 1991 YZ 125 engine and has the stock original carb which is a Mikuni TM. I am not sure what the bottom feed is on the carb. The big one I am going to imagine is for fuel to go into the carb but I am not sure what the bottom one does. http://i.imgur.com/GNxnd7G.jpg Also, I noticed...

    Mikuni Pulse Pump Install Question

    I am on the edge of completing the YZ 125 shifter kart build and I am working on the fuel setup. I have a Mikuni duel outlet pump that I plan to use. My engine has a crankcase vent with a little barb fitting on it which is just under the reedcage (Not in the reed cage). Will this work to hook up...

    Fuel tank wont fit properly

    Here is a picture of what it looks like basically. As you can see the tank is held to the center column by a bolt that goes through a metal plate and into the tank. This keeps it secured to the column. On my kart, the holes will only match up properly if i put the tank on first then force the...

    Fuel tank wont fit properly

    I have a Wildkart chassis and I purchased a 9L fuel tank. The tank however is a little to tall because it has a weird bottom. This causes the skid plate on bottom to bend out some. Instead of the skid plate being straight and fitting perfectly, it is bowed out and goes to almost the bottom of...

    Ok to bend the J arm?

    Sorry the J arm I am referring to is the one from sharkshifter.com which is this one to be exact.. Basically I just want to bend the arm back so the part where my track rod will bolt to will be directly over the part where the arm hooks to the engine. Will almost look like a "Z" when it is done.

    Ok to bend the J arm?

    I am working on a yz 125 shifter kart build. I have most parts and right now working on the linkage. The linkage is always hitting the seat because of the angle it goes to. Is it ok if I bend the J arm so the place it mounts to is above the shaft it connects to?

    How many bolts is good enough for axle carrier?

    I am building a YZ 125 shifter kart. I have two frames. A intrepid frame with matching axle bearing carriers and a wildkart frame without matching axle bearing carriers. I want to use the wildkart frame because it is a shifter kart frame where as the intrepid is more for a rotax. If I use the...

    How far should a gear shifter move?

    For a YZ 125 (Which I am sure a CR 125 is just the same) how far should the shifter lever move forward and backward? I want to make sure I have enough clearance without hitting the frame before it goes to powder.

    What air filter?

    I have a YZ 125 and trying to find the right size air filter. I am pretty sure the carb is a 38mm Mikuni. Do I just buy any "38mm" air filter? What exactly is the 38mm size? Also, the line that goes from the carb, where does it go to? It is the smaller line. And does anyone know the size of...

    Will this fuel pump still work?

    I talked to the guy who owns sharkshifter and he said to run one to the carb and the other as a return line to the tank. He said thats the preferred way to do it anyways so It doesn't put to much pressure to the carb.

    Will this fuel pump still work?

    I accidently ordered the wrong fuel pump for my shifter YZ 125 build. Will this still work? It just has two outlets instead of 1. http://sharkshifter.com/zc/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=221

    Shifter Kart / Dirt Bike Question

    When shifting on a shifter kart with a dirt bike YZ 125 engine, Will the gear lever move up and down? Or do I just pull it down, it goes into next gear, then lever goes back to original spot? I am trying to figure out how much room I will need the lever to move.

    Where to buy these clamps?

    Those burris mounts wont work. I need them flat and need it to wrap around the bar instead of lay on top of it.
