thanks for tuning in this week as we

take you through the nitty gritty on how

to service the car be on your art board

[Music]

if you tuned in last week you will have

found us exploring the reef around

merkel miss Kay we then turned off to a

poly reef where we got on with some boat

tours under supervision from this guy

okay so we're back in Cannes after a

beautiful few days out at the reef I

hope you really enjoyed it out there as

much as we did it was magic

and yeah Mick dazzle was out on the back

deck and he's pulling apart the old

Yamaha

so if you remember about a week or so

ago I had to go and rescue him down the

street down the old Creek as the Yamaha

had given out on him so it's just doing

a full service on it to check out what's

going on and we thought we'd take you

through how to service a carburetor so

yeah an important one to know if you

don't know what a carburetor does it

controls the air and fuel ratio for your

outboard engine so yeah so nearly it

really easy one to fix and it can often

give some people a lot of troubles so

we'll take you to a detailed vid on how

to get that service to yourself okay so

let's pop up on the back deck and check

out where McDowell's up to

tell us about my honey what do you have

- we had a little file on the airport

and funny enough we were doing a service

on the other the other airport so we put

me a trusty little Yammer hair on never

file that had filed

just trying to trying to find out what's

wrong with it so far off Kip lafiel out

of the out of the fuel tank because

normally waters the first first thing to

look for with these thing the water goes

to the bottom of the tank and that's

where the pickup is and and of course it

ends up in in our little car bball which

the fuel sucks from the bottom of this

bowl and into the main jet and therefore

just stops the engine

anyway I'll tip the fuel out then I

didn't find any water in there so the

next the next scenario is to to pull the

car be apart because I dunno it's few

little idle but that's all it'll do so

I'm not sure whether there's a tiny

little bit of corrosion in there that's

got my way and it's blocked something up

but I'm about to find air the car B sits

in there like that and there's a couple

of bolts that hold it on the front and

the fuel line and the choke and the

accelerator cables that hook on to that

it'll pretty much had that out of there

and

probably less than ten minutes so it's

pretty easy to get them in and most of

these copies are pretty much the same on

the em house and the mix and although

all the other ones are all they're all

sort of similar anyway

I'll rip the bowl off this and see where

we're at you just take the screws out

there's four screws in this particular

application that should just come off

like so okay so that's that's the inside

of the fuel bowl and that that little

piece there where my thumb is is is the

main jet so the fuel gets sucked out of

the bottom of this this section here and

into the engine but you can see there

are a couple of spots of dirt in there

which enough to block the car be because

these Jets are so fine you know you you

really flat out stick you can't stick a

needle through that phone so that that

probably is the problem if they were

water in there what would it look like

if there was water in there it would be

really obvious because fuel floats on

top of the water it's almost like a

bubble underneath the fuel when you look

at it you can slosh it around and you'll

you'll see it rolling around separate to

the water so if you've got that in if

you've got water in there there's your

problem

but you also do need to take the the jet

set and I'll do that anyway so this

little this little guy here he's our

flight and he controls the fuel that

goes into the ball he gets the right

height for the for the fuel and he just

pushes on there's a little float needle

in there and it stops the fuel as that

as that height comes up it shuts the

fuel off to the correct level so that's

what that little guy does anyway we'll

call it jet set so this is our mind yet

that controls your high speed rpm or the

amount of fuel that goes in it then I

can see if is there's actually nothing

in that guy and there's also another one

in here it's the oil jet which controls

yeah yeah one lower rpm that the holes

in these are very very fine the best

thing you can do sometimes is actually

just placed wrong certainly doesn't

taste very good so the other thing that

a lot of people tend to miss is that

[Music]

that guy goes that's the mind yet and

the fuel gets sucked up through there

and that goes into the throat of the car

B so you may be able to see that that

was in there like so and that sort of

sits up in there like that and this this

little guy has got a series of little

little galleries in it as well so I just

make sure that's clear sometimes you'll

get like a bead of water or some foreign

matter sitting on those guys so but just

be aware is that it can only go in and

out on Y so don't try and put it in the

wrong way in a TC be stuck in backwards

and probably wouldn't be quite as

effective

[Applause]

it's just a little series of galleries

under this little plate I don't expect

to find anything too much under here but

sometimes you'll get a little bit of

moisture

just take those flips off really

carefully

you can just say there's a couple of

galleries in there that I'm hopeful oh

they meant with the compressor that they

look pretty clean now that's that one

they just take the next cutter off very

carefully at this - little gallery stand

there and one of them's got a tiny

little fragment in there so that might

have been it that's silver bit there

yeah it it could be certainly wouldn't

be help in the scenario sometimes you'll

get a tiny bit of moisture sitting in

underneath

yeah and it only takes it like a a bead

of water to upset things because these

these these little galleries in there

are so small okay that Abeyta water can

easily block on now this car here is the

air mixture now this this little fellow

here he's actually in a preset position

you can you can adjust him but what I

tend to do is I I am can't I warned him

all the way and find out how far he goes

from that position so it might be that's

half one turn so when I take this guy

air that was the position he was in

so now I can safely take him all the way

here that's a good tip my honey yeah cuz

that's the big part of controlling me

the mixture in the engine yeah see that

pin hole that's the gallery that

controls the air flow

[Applause]

so this is a little Stanley tool set

it's a very fine kit of screwdrivers

it's really handy to have on board and

there's all sorts of Phillips and flat

heads but as you can see they're really

fine so it's a really good kit to have

for jobs such as doing your car be doing

a bit of dentistry work these are these

are the tools you require getting

something out of your nostrils or your

eyes I probably choose something a

little gentler there's Daren just

pitching our air compressor barely MEK a

quick blow through the galleries by

mouth will usually clear them

however we carry a small compressor on

board which does a much better job

here's Darren is blowing out the Jets

and galleries to ensure no specks of

dirt or rust could be lurking about

basically just give every port a blast

to clear them anyway that should be it

the real handy little tool what no no

very expensive as well

you'll wish you had it if you've got

some airport problems it takes the

guesswork out of it you know it's right

then be sure you get the ports and the

bowl a good blowout also better not make

this mess though the little earring

there that that black ring mr. in there

you can't change that out but they

pretty rarely give any problems you

can't actually see if they've been

leaking fuel but in this case we're not

going to change it how would you see it

tell if it was leaking no you'd probably

you'd probably see a bit of a feel

stained in the out sort of the bowl yeah

yeah the the other thing that you may

want to do and most airports have only

got this tiny little fuel filter that's

worth a it's worth changing out shake it

bulb or an inline Peter enjoy well

that's never been changed out but

normally what what happens on on this

what we do with this

we actually just cut the line and that's

just a basically it's an automotive fuel

door we just put in the line and a

couple of cable ties on there talk to

your uncle well that's probably a Yamaha

one but you can get aftermarket ones as

well but these things are just an

aftermarket thing that you get at any

any auto store for a couple of bucks and

I for know work really well and you can

actually see if you're starting to get

any watering in the actual in the filter

yeah you can actually see a distinct

line in there so that's the that will be

the first sign of that you're getting

water in your fuel system and you need

to clean the tank here yeah

okay

a little tip my honey anyway I will

stick this one back together which you

should be good to go

hey so just put it back together in in

pretty much reverse of what you've taken

apart so if you're not sure about

anything and you're having a crack at

this for your first time just take a lot

of photos with your camera or yeah

you're fine and that'll give you a

little bit of a reference of

you know where you where you're probably

night to be

there is usually a little rubber plug

that goes over the top of these the oil

jet it seems to be quite common all

these all these um airport cab rides

like that in their wares I've done it

before

I just land it right in okay wonderful

sign and you can't adjust that a little

bit other way airports not running right

and you might get might get a bit of a

win people may ask what this little bit

of red water is that's the throttle

return spring the spring it wasn't quite

close on the throttle down properly so I

just put this bill Warren data to help

bring the bring the throttle back to the

stopper a little bit better

anyway that's what that little gizmo is

you can pretty much see how quickly that

went back together you know there's

really not much in these little guys it

took me longer to set the compressor up

than it did to to get the car be apart

so that should be pretty much good to go

back okay so why don't you clean out the

fuel cut back Wow what was what makes

you think there's not a tiny speck of

junk in there if there wasn't involved

well you can't all your flow going

through through there so once it gets

into the bowl it's sort of there's no

flow this is the river and that's the

Billabong if you like yeah so there's no

flow in there so I went into or any-any

stuff as properly so they're going to

settle in there or it'll settle in the

bottom of that that filter okay

they kind of make sense you know so I I

pull this apart before Maggie got around

to filming it so we're just gonna put it

back into vacuum in sequence that's our

car B gasket just make sure that's

that's okay there's no it's not cracked

or anything otherwise that'll it'll

create all sorts of chaos with the

running of the engine there is a front

and a back to these guys I just make

sure you put it back in the correct way

you're fond of wine if it'll actually

bolt up all the way except that nothing

will line up

oh yes Tyrol and everything could be on

the wrong side so just make sure he goes

in the right way

[Music]

Darrin replaces the air box then

tightens up the screws that hold the car

be in place two of these long bolts and

they virtually just hold the carving

position remember that they don't

require much pressure as they're just

bolting onto aluminium from tight we'll

do so with the throttle hooked up and

working

Darrin Clips it on to the choke lever

just give them a little push to get that

guy to pop on he then replaces the front

panel and reconnect the fuel line so the

fuel line's gone back on to the intake

which comes from the tank that Darrin

was showing you earlier so the fuel line

goes around here through the filter into

the fuel pump and then down and through

the car B which is underneath yeah

that's how it works right now my luck

what now what now

Oh what to cover back on she should be

good to go lay there after lunch

yeah well bit late or not or if you're

parking these airports up long-term you

you should driving the fuel out of them

or just while still in the water just

pull off more switch the fuel off and

run the feel completely arrows bottom

turn the fuel right and it all over oil

register Ginny behind and next time you

get started up that oil go I need to

work gel in wine actually right mix with

you and then you like to go through that

process exactly that

[Music]

he's thought of my game

oh yeah it is another little tip trying

to fill this anyway let's say you do a

copy and for a Yamaha outboard I hope
