Carburetor K-62: technical characteristics, adjustment, setup, diagram, photo

Carburetor design

Our element is designed in such a way that gasoline enters the float chamber up to a certain level, which is limited by the float. As it rises, it closes the fuel passage with a shut-off needle.

Then the fuel enters through the nozzle into the mixing chamber, where it is mixed with air and enters the cylinder under the action of thrust, when the piston moves down. Engine performance depends on the quality of the mixture.

The K-62 carburetor diagram should be known to everyone who is going to work with this device.

Jets play an important function; they play a major role in the volume of fuel supplied to the engine. It is possible to install different jets on the K-62 carburetor. Its technical characteristics allow it to work perfectly on smaller jets with low fuel consumption.

Depending on the quality of the mixture, we either get a powerful but uneconomical engine, or an engine without good torque. If there is a strong deviation in one direction or another, the engine cannot operate normally.

Carburetors of motorcycles "Minsk" and IZH

Various models of carburetors were installed on the Minsk motorcycle. Until 1978, K-Z6M and K-Z6S carburetors were used. Since 1978, motorcycles began to be equipped with a K-62S carburetor with a diffuser diameter reduced to 26 mm. The main fuel jet has a capacity of 165 ml of fuel per minute.

The IZH carburetor has a jet with increased capacity to 260-270 ml. This is due to the large engine displacement. The first releases of IZh PS had a Japanese Mikuni carburetor, which was replaced in 1983 by the domestic K62M.

Troubleshooting

If difficulties arise, for example, the engine does not start when there is a spark and we are sure that the compression in the engine is sufficient, you can moisten the spark plug with gasoline or fill the cylinder with fuel through the spark plug hole and try to start it, this will help clear the passages in the carburetor and the clogged nozzle.

If the engine does not start, you can try to start it by pushing the motorcycle in neutral with the ignition off. When the speed has become stable and the motorcycle has gained sufficient inertia, turn on the ignition, depress the clutch, set the shift pedal to the 1st speed position and smoothly release the left lever on the handlebar.

If the engine starts, but stalls when the throttle is raised or lowered sharply, or idles unstably, then the carburetor should be carefully inspected

Carburetor Inspection

Before removing a mechanism such as the K-62 carburetor from the engine, you should press the float release button and make sure that fuel enters the carburetor (gasoline should exit through the hole under the button), and the cause of poor performance is precisely in the carburetor.

If gasoline flows slowly into the float chamber, then the cause of poor carburetor performance may be a clogged filter in the gas tap. It is enough to unscrew the sump cup (a cylindrical container with a screw at the bottom), it is clearly visible on all gas taps on motorcycles, and clean the filter.

The K-62 carburetor may not work well due to untimely addition of fluid to the oil air filter or its clogging. You should try to start the engine without a filter; if the performance improves, then it should be cleaned and rinsed in kerosene.

Disassembling the carburetor

The disassembled K-62 carburetor photos in our article allow you to examine it in detail.

We will need the following tools: a minus screwdriver, 12, 14 keys, a 6 hex head or pliers. You should first unscrew the screws securing the carburetor to the engine with a 14mm wrench, then the top cover with a screwdriver. From the throttle valve, from the groove, remove the accelerator handle cable and the idle speed adjustment screw, which has a flat end.

Then we unscrew all the bolts, including the mixture quality screw, and remove the float chamber cover, it is secured with two screws - one on the left side of the cylinder, there is also a float release button, a mixture quality screw and a fuel supply hose; the other - from the opposite.

Turn the carburetor upside down, inspect the float, its end should be several degrees higher than the beginning. There should be a tongue at the base; if the float is positioned incorrectly, you should bend it to achieve the desired effect.

Trigger

Almost all models were equipped with a starting device, which was driven by a lever on the steering wheel. To start it when the temperature drops from -15 C, a float sink is designed. It serves to enhance the enrichment of the mixture when starting cold two-stroke engines.

When setting up the trigger mechanism, to check the correct alignment of the needle, it is first placed on the lower border. Then you need to check how easily the lever rotates and the degree of elasticity of the cable. These parts must be free of corrosion and lubricated.

Disassembling jets

First, we take out the float axis, look at the wear, it should be the same along the entire length. We remove the needle with the lock from the float; there should be a small silicone gasket on it. Then we unscrew the main central jet with a 12mm wrench, after which we unscrew the idle jet with a 6mm wrench or use pliers and secure it with a lock washer.

It is important to tighten the smaller jet when assembling it with the lock washer, otherwise it will break. The K-62 carburetor is produced without an enricher; they come in brands starting from K-33 and up to K-38, where it is located in the corner and is unscrewed with a screwdriver.

After unscrewing the jets, the central element is removed from the reverse side - the guide valve, which was held in place by the main jet. For better performance, you can sand the throttle body and center piece. If the inspection is not carried out for urgent installation on the engine, then all components need to be lubricated with oil. Assembly is carried out in reverse order.

Buying a new carburetor

When purchasing a repair kit for the K-62 carburetor, you should pay attention that the holes are free of defects, and it is advisable to immediately select or replace the jets. There is often a discrepancy between the instructions and the actual dimensions of the holes, especially if the jet is made in China.

The K-62 carburetor can easily work with a jet from the K-55 brand; they are installed on Voskhod motorcycles; as practice shows, it does not particularly affect the engine, but with careful driving, more economical fuel consumption and less engine overheating are possible.

When installing a carburetor on new motorcycles, you may need an adapter; even a machine one will do; you need to plug the extra hole, it can be clearly seen in the photo below.

But you should take into account the dimensions of the seats in the store; it is advisable to take the carburetor with you as an example, because the standards may differ, and we will have to go back.

Repair of front fork and gearbox of IZH motorcycles

It happens that when you hit an obstacle, the fork cannot withstand the impact and its feathers bend.
If the deformation is small, it works for some time, but at the same time the bushings and oil seals wear out intensively and the time for repair is approaching by leaps and bounds. If the impact was strong enough, the fork stops working immediately, since the curved pipes do not move relative to each other. It is usually not possible to straighten them, and only replacement can help. But this, as they say, is an emergency situation. With normal use, the fork lasts a long time. And malfunctions such as breakdowns (knock when compressed all the way) or knock during reverse stroke are usually explained by a lack of fluid or its low viscosity and are easily eliminated. However, over time, the bushings wear out, the rubber of the seals ages, loses elasticity - and then repairs will not be possible. Its complexity and volume depend on whether you noticed the first unpleasant symptoms in time: fluid leakage, play and the sound of a sliding pipe. The last two… Read more >>

Motorcycle IZH Jupiter 5K 01. Jupiter is the fifth and last?

Jupiter is the fifth and last? By the beginning of winter, when I started writing this report, the editorial “Jupiter-5K-01” began to spin sixteen thousand kilometers. Such mileage does not yet allow us to give comprehensive information about the advantages and disadvantages of the model.
Nevertheless, there are enough impressions; experts say that to determine the quality of a dish it is not necessary to eat it entirely. We will follow this principle. To begin with, despite the radical red color, I did not notice any revolutionary changes in Jupiter-5. Essentially, this is the same, well-known IZH-Jupiter with a more modern appearance. Of course, there is movement for the better, but only with the goal of “holding out” the motorcycle, at a time when a qualitative leap is needed. The product was forged purely for domestic consumption, it is clear that Izhmash does not yet plan to compete with such thoroughbred horses as, for example, BMW, Honda or Yamaha... Read more >>

Ural M-67

The heavy road motorcycles of the Irbit motorcycle plant have long enjoyed a good reputation.
They once again confirmed their high reliability in the latest all-Union tests for the superiority of the factory brand, where the Ural-3 M-66 won first place. Designers are constantly improving the vehicle so that its technical and operational qualities better meet the increasing requirements for traffic safety and ease of maintenance and repairs. The result of the great work of the factory team, working in collaboration with a number of scientific institutes - VNIIMotoprom, VNIITE, TsNIITA, Scientific Research Institute of Avtopriborov and others, as well as with factories that supplied components, was the creation of a more advanced model, designated M-67. A pilot batch of these machines was produced at the end of last year, and mass production began in July of this year. Rice. 1.

Carburetor flushing

The K-62 carburetor jets can be seen in the light; if clogged, you can clean them with a match, but with a non-metallic wire. You need to wash all the holes and the float chamber cover with a special solution.

There is a special can with a thin nozzle; it is best to clean the carburetor with it. Partial disassembly is done, the jets are left, and the mixture ensures instant cleaning and purging of all channels.

You need to rinse and wipe the top and bottom covers well. Heavily contaminated carburetors can be washed in kerosene, then purged with a compressor and a spray can to finally clean the element.

Adjusting the fuel level

For this purpose, there is a brass adjusting element on the float, as shown by the white arrow in the photo.

The entire adjustment process comes down to setting the float in a certain position. Remove the bottom carburetor cover and turn it upside down with the float.

We look from the side so that the mark on the float from the mold (black arrow shows) is parallel to the carburetor plane (red arrow shows).

In this position of the float, the fuel level will be within 12 ... 14 mm. This level is necessary for normal engine operation.

Carburetor assembly

Set the lock on top of the needle to the middle position; if economical work is required, set it to the lower position. The engine will start poorly, but will become more economical. We insert the throttle valve with the cutout to the air filter. It should move easily and freely along the guide flap.

After preliminary adjustment of the position of all elements, selection of the nozzle, cleaning of all channels, you should screw the carburetor to the engine with a 14 key, attach the hose, cable (from the throttle grip) to the throttle, tighten the mixture quality screw, which is near the gas hose, until it stops, and unscrew it by 2 -3 turns.

Tighten the mixture quantity screw to the maximum; the damper rests on it when raised; it must be inserted into the groove next to the throttle cable. There is also an adjustment with the enricher; it can either be attached to the carburetor, or a cable from it can go to the steering wheel. The enricher is a needle that opens an additional channel with fuel.

Which carburetor is better to put on Planet 5 instead of the original one?

If desired, imported Japanese Mikuni carburetors with diffuser diameters of 30 and 32 mm can be installed on Izh Planet-5 motorcycles. Naturally, you need to select jets recommended by the manufacturer. On Planet-5, the throughput of the main fuel jet corresponds to 270 ml/min, the corrector fuel jet is 255 ml/min.

You will also need to select an adapter to connect the carburetor flange to the cylinder. You can order an adapter from a turner or select one from other motorcycle models. The inlet window of the diffuser on Mikuni is wide, so the rubber pipe for connecting to the air filter will also need to be selected.

It is important to remember that all connections must be tight, without distortions.

The diameters of the diffuser and the cylinder inlet must be the same and have no steps that prevent the mixture from entering the combustion chamber.

This is what the installed Mikuni carburetor looks like on the Izh Planet-5 motorcycle.

All of the above also applies to the installation of a Chinese PZ 30 carburetor on the Izh Planet-5 motorcycle. Its special feature is the presence of a version with an accelerator pump, which helps enrich the mixture at high engine speeds. But to use it, you need an additional cable that will work in tandem with the motorcycle’s gas handle.

With minor modifications, the carburetor flange fits well with the mountings to the cylinder pipe. An important point is that you need to install a rubber or textolite gasket between the pipe and the flange so that the carburetor does not heat up when the engine is running.

This is what the installed PZ30 carburetor looks like on the Izh Planet-5 motorcycle.

Imported carburetors are good because they do not have the usual suction. To start the motorcycle, you do not need to fill the crankcase with gasoline; you just need to open the enrichment corrector. These carburetors also have regular drain holes instead of a drain hole, which are fitted with hoses that can be taken out to any convenient place. For example, under a motorcycle engine, so that if the carburetor overflows, nothing will get dirty.

Starting the engine after installing the carburetor

You should open the enricher about 1 cm, press the float release button, gasoline should seep through the hole a little, then turn on the ignition, the light should burn brightly, add a little gas, press the kick starter several times.

If the engine starts lazily and immediately stalls, the reason is either the quality of gasoline or a weak battery charge. If the engine does not start at all, you should inspect the main wires and the spark plug; it could be filled with excess fuel; you should unscrew it and wipe it.

To check the spark plug, you need to attach it to the cylinder, turn on the ignition and press the kick starter, the spark should be strong and jump with equal force at the exact time.

Engine tuning

How to adjust the K-62 carburetor for normal operation? First, after starting the engine, tighten the enricher. Next, the K-62 carburetor is adjusted using two screws - the quality and quantity of the mixture. Carefully gradually tighten the quality screw a quarter of a turn each time until the engine runs minimally stable.

After which you should repeat the same procedure with the quantity screw, carefully unscrew it until the engine begins to gain speed, and then tighten the screws one by one to the lowest stable speed. Correct adjustment of the K-62 carburetor occurs not according to the instructions, but according to the operation of the engine.

Factory settings and recommendations indicate that the quality screw should be unscrewed exactly one and a half turns, this is not always the case in practice, because the engines have different wear and compression, which cannot but affect the carburetor, so you need to adjust it at the minimum stable speed engine.

Adjustment of the K-62 carburetor occurs on a well-warmed engine. It is important to ride the motorcycle for a certain distance so that the engine, along with the carburetor and the entire system, warms up well. Then we reduce the gas to idle and begin to configure again according to the same scheme. This will ensure excellent engine tuning, minimal fuel consumption and good traction.

Adjustment with dosing needle

The dosing needle for adjustment has five positions and is fixed with a special lock. Raise the needle one notch and increase the fuel supply. We lower it and reduce the fuel supply.

Under normal conditions, the needle is installed in the central groove.

When operating a motorcycle at high temperatures of plus 35 degrees and above, as well as in rarefied air at an altitude of 2000 and above above sea level. The needle should be released one division.

And vice versa at low temperatures of minus 15 degrees and below. The needle should be raised one notch

How to set up a K-62 carburetor?

It is especially important to warm up the engine well while driving when installing new parts on the carburetor or for precise and final tuning. If you do not adjust the carburetor when the engine is well warmed up, it will not work correctly.

The engine will not produce enough power when you lift the throttle suddenly, or the gas mileage will be too high and the engine will overheat. This is possible even if the setting is done correctly, but on a poorly warmed-up engine.

Then you should try to touch the crankcase under the cylinder; it should be warm, but not hot. Some people try the cylinder, this is a mistake; the normal heating of all internal parts can only be determined by touching the crankcase.

After sufficient warm-up, the propeller adjustment should be repeated, the speed should be minimally stable, otherwise the engine will overheat, and it should not stop randomly after a while.

The K-62 carburetor, despite some negative reviews, has proven itself quite well in practice. Its unpretentiousness, reliability and ease of operation have won the hearts of many motorcycle owners. It is quite competitive compared to many foreign analogues and more modern models.
