I'm buying my dad's 2004 Honda Shadow 750 ACE. Yesterday we moved it from his garage to mine so he could have more room for wood working in his garage. We hoped to get it started so he could just ride it to my house but it had sat in his garage for about 2 years. We did get it running but fuel was leaking from between the carburetors so we didn't let it idle long and ended up putting it on my trailer to get it to my house. I've done a little research and a long with talking with people I know found out it could be due to a stuck float causing one of the carbs to overload and leak fuel. I will definitely try this method of cleaning them without removing them. Dad did drain the old gas before I got there yesterday and said it was still a liquid and still smelled like gas.

I just pulled a pair of these carbs off and cleaned. The #40 pilot jets stop up easily..

I hope you did not have the pickup truck engine running while jumping the bike... Bike stator is rated at 12-13 amps and that trucks alternator is rated at about 130 amps.. You ll fry the electrical system on the bike..

Thank God for you!! I've been struggling with 2005 Honda shadow spirit.. I've been trying for days. I didn't use enough WD40. I'm glad to see it is possible to get that battery out.!! Thanks, man..

A true boy scout would not use a prepackaged fire starter. Maybe if you dropped some sawdust in a paper cup cake holder and poured some candle wax on it. Still cheating but we'd give you credit towards the merit badge. I really like the drum idea. They are well made too.

Anyone have any recommendations on how to paint this thing? I have the same one.....high temp paint, sanding before, etc...paint will not stick and stay very long.

Dude I want to see a full view of the finished product when it's dry preferably when when the bike is put together

Did the rustolium pucker after you added the 2k? I hear you have to let the color dry for several days.

Will this clean the jets? Bike day too long. It runs but not good and i feel like it's the jets. Already drained fuel and put new fuel in.

Hello! Thanks for the video! I'm a bit stuck with my bike and may try this tomorrow. I take it there wasn't any trouble in getting the carb cleaner to pass through the fuel pump in to the carbs? Do you think it would be possible to put the drain screws back in and put carb cleaner through the gas line like you did here and in theory soak the carbs overnight with cleaner? I've seen others try something like that with seafoam without removing the carbs then drain it. Thank you, I am not too handy with this kind of thing.

Someone get my man a new disc for that grinder!!

Thanks for the video..how many ah it's the battery?

I would like to buy your luggage rack back rest on your suzuki gs 550 e motorcycle.if you want to sell it,give me a reasonable price.thank you mark

How well did the paint match the color cap?

Are there any more videos coming of this? I saw that this is the last one, I'm building one of these bikes myself but can't figure out some of the engine stuff. Mine turns over fine and all but there's stuff I don't know if I need or not, but it's a non starter from when I got it.

One can use a tiny wratchet wrench that accepts screwdriver bits.

Thank you so much! I was having this issue with my '03 and you just saved my ass.

So what is the fuel pump on this bike for if there's a carburetor..?

Thank you very much for sharing. Got the same issue with my wifes bike and was unsure if its fixated anywhere else. You video saved me a whole lot on research and I was successful; highly appreciated.

you know what is fun, substituting carb cleaner for starting fluid when you need to seat a stubborn car tire, it's quite exciting and it does an efficient job removing the hair from you arms, oh yeah and it's better if you don't do it in your living room if your married, wifes tend to get a little testy when they come home and find a throw rug with a potted plant covering a big burned spot right in the center of the living room, but if your single what's one more big black ring in the carpet.....

When blowing through the fuel line back to the carb will the fuel pump restrict it from flowing back to the carb ?

thx, i needed that

I gotta tell you , before i pulled the carbs i figured I'd try your "method" my new to me 05 shadow only sat for a few weeks. After running ok ? Anyway it seems to have worked, in the garage. Will try on road tomorrow. But thinks, its so much less work than pulling the carbs.

I see the post is over a year-and-a-half old, so not trying to hammer you here, just trying to help: the way vinegar works is soaking for 24 hours. So, find a pan that will hold enough vinegar in it that you can put your tank in it (flip it over so that it's top-side-down) and let it soak for 24 hours. You will have very little (if any) elbow work to do after that. I have a plastic pan that would be ideal for your project, so you can find them, they're out there, try Walmart. You shouldn't need more than a gallon for this task. Also, "flash rust" is what happens when you get the surface to bare metal; you can prevent that a few different ways. If you use vinegar INSIDE your gas tank to get the rust off, just rinse it out with water, then rinse the tank out with diesel; the diesel with leave a protective residue behind to keep flash rust from occurring. If you are wanting to prevent flash rust on the outside of the tank it will depend on what your next step is. If you are going for that patina look and you want the bare metal, then just spray silicone (or a silicone based spray polish, like Motul sells) on it and wipe off. If you are going to paint it, just go ahead and finish your prep work and drive on to the primer phase. Flash rust comes off pretty easy, so don't let that get to you. Hope your project went well.

We've been doing this for years and even take one up to our Elk camps put a grate over it and get to grillin! I just found your channel.

I cut out the mixer all together and it helps with clean out and I built legs for it to stand on and it puts out tremendous amounts of heat. No smoke and tons of heat

I learned.. just put a fire in the drum.. the ring will fall off in 2 minutes

You did great 👍

How to buy this bike? I’m from Sri lanka

Love this! Looks very nice 👏

What kind of wood did you use for the shiplap and what are the dimensions of the pattern? Do you plan on putting moulding around the door and windows? I like how simple you both made the German schmear and shiplap process! Good job!

Great low tech fix. Thanks.

2 things I noticed watching this video the job probably would have gone quicker if you change the cut off wheel also if in the future you plan to use the cut off wheel you might want to invest and a pair of safety glass and more clothing to protect your skin from hot pieces of metal that come flying off whatever you're cutting. A few dollars and proper PPE will be well worth it instead of spending hundreds of dollars on doctor's bills or having eye surgery

I love the color!

Thanks i needed that

Did the mystery oil work

Nice to hear it run for a little bit

nice video!

Black the bike out😂

Looks like he has dropped off a few of those.

Great video!

The blue color looks awesome

Keep up the good work!

Nice work. It will be beautiful by the time you finish!

Can’t wait to see once this thing is painted
