Green Carb - How to clean it?

Hello all,

I bought a DRZ 125 and It would only run at idle with choke on.

I opened up the carb, and it was all green inside.

I tried using carb cleaner. It runs and I can rev it, but still won't run with choke off :(

1. How long should I let the parts sit in carb cleaner?

2. What can I use to clean passage ways? Pipe Cleaner?

3. Should I buy a new jet set/brass parts? (Pilot, Main and adjustable TTR125 needle)


Please give advice.

Roger that... i will blast the jets once I get home. I've had them soaking in Carb Cleaner for the past 2 hours

Little update for a little bike. ;)

I went to my local suzuki dealer yesterday. Described to them whats going on. I told the service guy/owner that I pulled out the brass plug. He's like what was the setting for the fuel screw.

It was at 1.5 turns out. Factory spec is supposed to be 2-1/4 turns out. He told me to do 3 turns out. (lean from factory)

Anyways, I purchased a 105 main jet (stock is 102.5) and some Suzuki Carb Cleaner. And let me say this, OMG was this better than gunk carb cleaner. I trusted him in buying this carb cleaner. He wasn't F%#king around.

In 20 minutes, everything was shiney as new. Not one dull peice in my carb. NO MORE GREEN DEPOSITS. I blew all the passages with Compressed air, and the jets. I measured the float level. Put it all back together. I'm feeling very confident. I'm just waiting for a warm day, today is spiking -25deg C. :ohmy: Friday afternoon they are calling for +10 deg C

Anyways, Thanks everyone for your help.

Cheers. :ride:
