yes it is an orifice, yes they must be cleaned to get air through them. what ever your spray into them ?, it must come out somewhere else . if not ?, it is plugged !.

carb on right is a fake china knock-off, carb on left is oem from what i see. YES, ALL OF THESE TRX450 CARBS HAVE THE AIR CUT-OFF VALVE !.

on a shorter note....WE TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM CHINA JUNK !..LOL.

warning !!!..MAKE SURE TO SWAP OUT THE SHIFT DRUM IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN DONE ?!.

air impact is a must have tool !. you may or may not need a clutch puller tool ?, i've removed them without the tool, and with the tool. all depends on how your aim is ?..lol. what i mean by this is, if your good with a hammer ? ( i use a hammer ), mallet ?, you can smack the back side of the centrifugal clutch to knock it off the crank. if your aim sucks ?, then i highly say buy a clutch tool remover !. a deep socket, metric set is a must have, sizes up to 27mm is a must have !. 1/2 drive for the air impact. #1 tool to have ?..IS THE SERVICE MANUAL !. a camera for taking pic's as you tear it apart comes in very handy if you are taking it apart, walk away, come back later..and forgot where parts go ?..lol. these models are very simple. please keep in mind: when tearing these down ?, ALWAYS HAVE A FULL ENGINE GASKET KIT, COMPLETE OIL SEAL KIT, D.I.D. CAM CHAIN, NEW OIL FILTER ( DO NOT INSTALL THE FILTER BACKWARDS ! ), NEW WET CLUTCH APPROVED ENGINE OIL, AND A TUBE OF YAMABOND OR HONDABOND IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE ON HAND ( THIS IS FOR SPOTS THAT DO NOT HAVE A GASKET ), if you have all this ?, then your golden !.

honestly ?, its called a diffuser of some sort ?. suppose to keep the fuel from splashing all around in the float bowl near the main jet holder ?. they will run without them, and if your thinking this is your problem ?, ITS NOT !..LOL.

the tank screen can not be removed from the top, petcock has to come off the bottom of the tank, then you pull the pick up screen down out of the tank.

first of all, is this an OEM carb from HONDA ? ,or is it just a stupid china knock-off ???. if the later ?, that tells me all i need to know as far as fuel goes !. second: have got everything on the engine set up, lined up, all in time ?, third: what is the compression now ?. fourth: IF ALL ELSE FAILS ?, BRING THAT DANG THING TO ME, I'LL FIX IT !. fith: is all parts OEM from HONDA ?. last but not least, when in doubt ?, BLOW IT UP !..LOL.
