2 Stroke Jetting "Made Easy"

If you've already changed jets, cleaned your carb, watched YouTube videos, or bought parts - but your bike still doesn't run quite right - you don't need another random tip...

You don't need another random tip.
You need to know what to check first.

2 Stroke Jetting Made Easy teaches you the exact step-by-step process I use to diagnose carburetor problems, so you know what to check first, what to change next, and when the carb isn't the problem at all.

2SJME Hero 7 3 26 2 Stroke Jetting "Made Easy"

I've spent the last 15+ years helping riders stop guessing and start understanding why their bike runs the way it does.

✔ Learn a troubleshooting process you'll use on every 2 stroke you own.

✔ Stop guessing which jet to change.

✔ Know when the carb isn't the problem.


Does This Sound Familiar?

✔ You've changed multiple jets but the bike still doesn't run right.

✔ You're not 100% sure whether the symptom is rich or lean.

✔ You've watched YouTube videos that seem to contradict each other.

✔ You've spent money on parts that didn't fix the problem.

✔ You've cleaned or rebuilt the carb more than once.

✔ You're afraid of making the wrong adjustment and making things worse.

✔ You just want your bike to start easily, run crisp, and be fun to ride again.

If that sounds like you… you're not alone.

Most riders don't struggle because carb tuning is difficult.

They struggle because nobody has shown them the correct order to diagnose the problem.

Imagine trying to solve a puzzle...

...while starting in the middle.

That's how most riders tune a carburetor.

Bike runs poorly

Pilot jet

Needle

Air screw

New carb

Still runs poorly

Because the problem was never diagnosed.

I used to be the master of making 3 adjustments everytime i opened the hood on a sled...

Now I make ONE change and test.

The "Sounds & Symptoms" Troubleshooting Process

🟢 1. Identify the symptom

🟢 2. Determine if it's actually rich or lean.

🟢 3. Rule out mechanical problems

🟢 4. Identify the carb circuit

🟢 5. Make ONE adjustment

🟢 6. Test ride

🟢 Repeat only if necessary


Years ago, I wasn't confident tuning carbs either.

I went on a week-long trail riding trip to the Black Hills with my KLX300R. The bike obviously wasn't running as well at the higher elevation. It was harder to start, stalled more easily, and just didn't feel right.

2003 KLX300R 5 2 Stroke Jetting "Made Easy"
My 2003 KLX300R - the bike that taught me I was more afraid of making the wrong adjustment than riding a bike that wasn't running right.

Looking back, I know exactly what it needed.

But at the time?

I was afraid I'd ruin the only bike I had halfway through a week-long riding trip.

I didn't fully understand what each adjustment would do, and I didn't want to ruin my only bike halfway through the trip.

So I did what most riders do...

I just lived with it.

Over the next several years I finally realized something that completely changed the way I looked at carb tuning.

Carb tuning isn't actually complicated.

A few years later, I took another bike to Colorado.

This time I wasn't nervous.

I knew exactly what to change.

Colorado Trip 2016 3 2 Stroke Jetting "Made Easy"

The bike wouldn't even start with my Minnesota jetting, but instead of panicking, I worked through the process, made a few small adjustments, and spent the rest of the trip riding instead of guessing.

Today, I can usually diagnose a carb problem in minutes—not because I'm smarter than everyone else, but because I follow the same process every single time.

2SJME Hero 7 3 26 2 Stroke Jetting "Made Easy"

That's exactly what I teach inside this course.

Most riders are simply changing things before they know what problem they're trying to solve.

That's when I realized riders don't need more jetting information.

They need a repeatable troubleshooting process they can trust every time the bike develops a new symptom.

That's why I created 2 Stroke Jetting Made Easy.

I got tired of seeing riders waste weekends chasing the wrong problem.

They'd change jets...

rebuild carbs...

buy new parts...

and still not know WHY their bike wasn't running right.

I realized carb tuning wasn't actually difficult.

Riders were just learning it in the wrong order.

Once you understand the correct troubleshooting process, carb tuning becomes surprisingly simple - you'll stop wondering where to start every time your bike develops a new symptom.


Why Free YouTube Videos Aren't Enough

YouTube is great for solving one specific problem.

"How do I adjust my air screw?"

"What's a rich bog?"

"How do I clean a carb?"

But when your bike still doesn't run right...

...the hardest part isn't finding information.

It's knowing which information applies to YOUR symptom.

That's why this course isn't a collection of videos.

It's a troubleshooting process.

It teaches you how to think through a problem from start to finish.

Imagine trying to diagnose your bike by watching 20 random YouTube videos from 15 different people.

One says raise the needle.

One says lower the clip.

One says buy a JD Jetting kit.

One says clean the carb again.

One says it's your reeds.

One says it's your crank seals.

One says it's normal.

None of them know YOUR bike.


Here's What You'll Be Able To Diagnose (Even If You're Not A "Carb Guy")

You'll Finally Know How To Diagnose Problems Like…

Is this symptom actually rich or lean?

Is the carb even causing the problem?

Which carb circuit should I adjust?

Which adjustment should I make first?

When should I leave the carb alone?

When do I stop changing jets?

How do I tune without guessing?

Riders Stop Guessing When They Finally Understand The Process

Here's what a few of them had to say...

"Honestly after all my years of working on engines, your explanations have made more sense than anything I've ever heard."

— James
Youre a magician 2 Stroke Jetting "Made Easy"

"My bike runs better than it ever has… Hot starts in one or two kicks now. I used to be that guy kicking and kicking because it wouldn't start. I finally got the bog out of the hole."

I was thinking my bike was running rich until i saw this 2 Stroke Jetting "Made Easy"

Those riders didn't just learn what jet to change...

They learned how to diagnose the problem first.

That's what makes the difference.

Saved me so much time Rich vs Lean Bog 2 Stroke Jetting "Made Easy"

"Helped me understand which specific jet to focus on"

“I've been around 2 stroke dirt bikes for decades and this guide really helped me to understand carburetor jetting better and which specific jet to focus on, whether it be the pilot, or main jet. Your instructions are awesome. Thanks, Kelley!”

The Goal Was Never To Make You Memorize Carburetors.

The goal is much simpler.

To give you a repeatable way to figure out:

What's actually wrong.

What to check first.

What to leave alone.

So you spend less time chasing problems...

...and more time riding.


This Course Isn't For You If...

❌ You're looking for a magic jetting chart.

❌ You want one answer that fixes every bike.

❌ You aren't willing to test one change at a time.

You don't actually need a course. There's plenty of free information online to figure it out by yourself - that's how I did it.

It will just take longer - my course just makes it quicker.

If now isn't a good time - that's okay!


This Course Is Perfect For You If...

✅ You're tired of guessing.

✅ You own a carbureted 2-stroke.

✅ You want to diagnose problems yourself.

✅ You'd rather understand WHY than memorize jet numbers.

✅ You're willing to spend a little time learning a repeatable process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work on my bike?

If you have a carbureted 2-stroke dirt bike, ATV, or similar off-road machine, yes.

The troubleshooting process isn't built around one specific bike or carburetor. It's designed to teach you how to diagnose symptoms and understand what the carb is telling you, whether you ride a Yamaha, KTM, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Beta, GasGas, or another carbureted 2-stroke.

I'm a complete beginner. Is this too advanced?

Not at all.

In fact, many riders struggle because they start by watching advanced jetting videos before they understand the basics.

This course builds everything in order - from identifying symptoms, to understanding carb circuits, to making the correct adjustment one step at a time.

You don't need previous carb tuning experience.

Can't I just learn this on YouTube?

Absolutely. That's actually how thousands of riders find me.

The challenge is that YouTube teaches one problem at a time.

One video covers rich symptoms.
Another covers pilot jets.
Another talks about spark plugs.
Another says to check the reeds.

Eventually you've watched 30 videos... and you're still wondering what to do with your bike.

This course puts everything into one step-by-step diagnosis system so you know what to check first, what to ignore, and what adjustment actually makes sense.

The goal isn't more information.
It's less guessing.

What if my carb isn't the problem?

That's one of the biggest reasons I created this course.

Many riders spend hours changing jets, cleaning carbs, or buying parts for a carb that isn't causing the problem.

You'll learn how to rule out common mechanical problems before making carb adjustments, which can save hours of frustration and unnecessary spending.

Will this teach me exactly what jet sizes to run?

No.

And that's intentional.

There isn't one jetting chart that works for every bike, elevation, temperature, fuel, or engine setup.

Instead, you'll learn how to determine whether your bike is rich or lean, identify which carb circuit is responsible, and make the correct adjustment for your bike and riding conditions.

That's a skill you'll use for years.

Do I have to completely understand carburetors first?

No.

You don't need to memorize every jet, passage, or carb diagram.

I'll explain only what you actually need to understand so you know why your bike behaves the way it does and what to change next.

What if I'm nervous about making adjustments?

I understand.

I used to be the same way.

One of the biggest goals of this course is helping you stop feeling like every adjustment is a gamble.

Once you understand what your bike is telling you and why you're making a specific change, tuning becomes much less intimidating.

Is this course only about jetting?

No.

Jetting is only one part of diagnosing a running problem.

You'll also learn how to identify symptoms correctly, rule out simple mechanical issues, determine whether the carb is even causing the problem, and work through a logical troubleshooting process before changing anything.

That's what keeps you from chasing the wrong problem.

How long will it take to go through the course?

Most riders can work through the core lessons in a few hours.

But this isn't a course you watch once and forget.

It's designed to become a reference you'll come back to whenever your bike develops a new symptom.

Do I get lifetime access?

Yes.

You'll have lifetime access to the course, so you can come back anytime you need a refresher or you're working on another bike.

Can I watch on my phone or tablet?

Yes.

You can watch the course on your computer, tablet, or phone whenever it's convenient.

What if I buy the course and still have questions?

I do my best to explain the troubleshooting process as clearly as possible, but every bike is a little different.

If you get stuck, you can reach out to me with your question. While I can't provide unlimited one-on-one troubleshooting, I'm happy to point you in the right direction whenever I reasonably can.

How is this different from every other carb tuning guide?

Most carb tuning resources teach you what to adjust.

This course teaches you how to decide what to adjust in the first place.

Instead of memorizing jet sizes or following random advice online, you'll learn a repeatable troubleshooting process that helps you:

-Identify what symptom you're actually experiencing.
-Determine whether it's rich, lean, or something else.
-Rule out common mechanical problems.
-Narrow the problem down to the correct carb circuit.
-Make one adjustment with confidence instead of guessing.

Once you understand that process, you'll spend less time chasing problems and more time riding.

What if I already know the basics?

Maybe you do. I thought I knew the basics, too.

The problem wasn't knowing what a pilot jet, main jet, or needle did. It was knowing which one was actually causing the symptom I was experiencing.

That's where most riders get stuck.

This course isn't about memorizing carb parts. It's about learning how to diagnose what your bike is telling you so you know where to start instead of changing random jets and hoping for the best.

Even experienced riders tell me they finally understood why their bike was acting a certain way after going through the course.

What if my bike is running okay right now?

That's actually one of the best times to learn.
Eventually, something changes.

The weather.
Elevation.
A different exhaust.
A top-end rebuild.
A clogged pilot jet.
Or maybe the bike just starts acting differently one day.

When that happens, you won't be starting from scratch or searching YouTube for hours.

You'll already understand how to diagnose the problem and know what to do next.

Think of it like learning to use a multimeter before your electrical problem happens. You hope you don't need it tomorrow - but you'll be glad you know how to use it when you do.

How is this different from the free Air Screw Guide?

The Air Screw Guide teaches you how to adjust one carb circuit.

That's important - but it's only one piece of the puzzle.

This course teaches you the complete diagnosis process I use to troubleshoot rich and lean symptoms, identify the correct carb circuit, and recognize when the carb isn't actually the problem.

The guide helps you make one adjustment.

The course teaches you how to diagnose almost any carb tuning problem with confidence.

I don't think I'll actually learn anything new.

After 15 years of troubleshooting carb problems, I've learned something interesting...

Most riders don't need more information.

They need a better process.

The biggest breakthroughs usually aren't learning another carb fact.

They're finally understanding which adjustment matters and why.

What Riders Like You Are Saying:

"The engine is like a completely different bike now... super snappy with no dead spots in the throttle."

"I was convinced the carbs were starving the engine, so I kept raising the needle. After applying your advice, I dropped the clip one position and the difference was immediate.

I used to make several adjustments at once. Now I make one change, test it, and actually understand what each adjustment does. Thanks again, Kelley!"
