Thank you for keeping your videos free, just wasted my time watching a @RollingWrench carb cleaning instruction video and only at the end did they reveal I would have to pay to see the rest.

Great explanation, as usual. 👍 Also, it's always a good idea to check/clean the needle and seat, only takes 2 minutes when the bowl is off. If you have a difficult time clearing out a passage with just spray cleaner, cut a piece of wire off a wire brush and poke it with that.

Perfect timing! I have a carb on my met that needs to be leaned out a bit. No better time than the present. Thanks!

Sweet! I just went back to work and need to clean the carb. I love your videos man so glad you did a Ruckus carb clean!

Many Thanks For This Video. In Ireland and my Zoomer was struggling, it’s like new now. Your Videos are amazing ☘️

These are VERY helpful videos thanks !

Aloha Mitch! I just had a quick question on Jets... I was curious what jets you recommend running? I have a 2020 Honda ruckus and the only mods I’ve done is a and NCY-CDI box, and NCY coil, NGK iridium splug, 5.5 sliders and a trail tack. I live at 5200 feet and about 160 pounds. I want to put a high flowing air filter(a K & N) in my stock airbox but when I do it seems to flow too much air and ran to lean. Also after installing the NCY-CDI box and coil I thought it would help it run not so rich here in Denver, but not really. So if I run the stock air cleaner it runs slightly rich and if I run the aftermarket air cleaner(K&N) it runs to lean so I’m curious what jets you recommend?

Great video! Educational and entertaining.

Everytime you do maintenance do you have to reset the ecu?

Important to remember to put girlfriends toothbrush back where she stores it!

❤ this. Wasn't expecting to pick up an additional skill from scoot maintenance vids on YT but Mitch seems like a genuinely good dude, and that could be in lieu of $$ I saved not getting gouged at a shop/dealer

Thank you Mitch.

You’re welcome!

You should also clean the circuits that the jets are threaded into. Indle, midrange and main in this application.

Thanks Mitch..

Where is the link to buy the new jets?

where can i buy ruckus spare parts

You should also spray thru passages when jets are removed. Also why didn't you take out needle and clean there too?

@@MitchsScooterStuff so, you removed float and cleaned needle and passage, then reinstalled float? Thanks

Just got a 2016 ruckus 3,035 miles. I "Think" I'm feeling some kinda surging while riding along between like 25 and 40 mph. Pretty sure it's not the carb, just replaced the air filter and still feeling it. I'm just lightly but I was wondering is this leading to something serious drivetrain wise? Thanks for all your info BIG money saver!

Hello - I have a 2020 ruckus, the temp light comes on randomly as if over heating and scooter will want to stop running. If you let it cool, the problem seems to resolve itself and can go for days/weeks before it does it again. Any ideas or tips I can try to resolve? Thanks very much..

Sorry to hijack your question for Mitch, but I belive the 2020 Ruckus suffers from a waterpump issue? In all honesty, it's not something I've paid a whole lot of attention to as mine is an '02 Zoomer import, but from the chatter I've seen on the forums, this does appear to be a common issue. Contact your local Honda dealer as they are covering the pumps under warranty. At least that is what I have read online 👍🏻

Amazing video Mitch! To the point and easy to follow. Any tips getting the piece below the main jet ( I'm assuming a needle) to come out? It appears to slide out with ease on your video (2:34). Thanks!

@@chimbo8741 I did! I removed the jet/idle needle by taking off the top. This gave me access to spray carb cleaner on the piece mentioned in the comment. It came out after that! Sorry for the lack of terms! New to rebuilding scooters.

There is one more jet to check. It is called the cold start jet. Mine was clogged up. Took me a while to clear it out.
