Thanks alot for posting these videos, my girlfriends 2000 Honda Shadow Aero C3 had sat for 6 months when we bought it. 34,000 miles on it. Paid $2000. Anyway, was running at half power, one fouled plug. I knew it needed a carburetor rebuild. I replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter while I was at it. I couldn’t have rebuilt the carburetors without your videos! Thanks a bunch!
JR... An excellent video of the Premier Division. 5 star work and your attention to detail is truly professional. I have a 98 Aero and swapped out VT 1100s. You made it easy for me and this was my first MC job! Thank you.
Just followed your excellent videos, carb rebuild and replaced with larger 6Sigma jets for Vance and Hines Longshot exhaust. Sub air filter totally disintegrated like you showed. Starts and runs better than ever.
Love your videos. Ive enjoyed ur style and approach for many years. Very thorough and concise and easy to follow. I am grateful and appreciate all you do. Just got my first bike, its a 99 ACE 1100. Im sure ill be referencing ur videos for guidance. May ask u for sum pointers aling the way. God bless you Brother.
Some of the removal steps are reminiscent of "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly". Thanks for these videos, I am sure I could get through this but it sure helps to have the benefit of your experience, almost like I have done one before.
Hey, great video, its so important that people know how meticulius one should be when cleaning a carb, really great video, I just picked up an 03 sabre, awsome bike,,,,when using the REM oil on the diaphram slides, should they be cleaned dry or can oil remain on them, do find good advantages when using this product? Also, when you were cleaning the jets they were varnished a bit, what were you cleaning them with that made them shine like that? TY again
Several questions I have, Ive watched the 4 videos, and awesome job you did! Although you skipped one part, when you remove the Choke needles, the lever has to be all the way up? or all the way down? (choke lever on the left side of the handeblar) Also what website did you get the Gasket sets and would it be better to buy it from OEM ? What Carburator cleaner you used? and Can I use compressed air cleaner like the ones for the computers to clean inside the small holes? [in a can] (office max probably brand lol) Did you clean the middle black hose?, the one thats inbetween the carburators?? On the last video I think you needed to dial the carbs correctly (number of turns) to prevent backfires (imo only... maybe also it was the exhaust not being on the bike itself) Sorryy for making too much questions but I am starting mine today! im excited! What happened was that I noticed my left air intake manifold not all the way in and my carbs maybe got dirty cause of that and my bike doesnt want to turn on, so i have to work on it!
Was wondering if anyone could offer some advice? I've got a 99 shadow spirit 1100. Ran fine pulled the carbs to clean reinstalled but now I have no neutral indicator light up, though I know it's in neutral. Also it will not start in neutral unless clutch is pulled in, kick stand up and it won't idle in neutral but dies the min I let clutch out. I know it a half click up and bike doesn't jump forward like it would if in gear and clutch let out? I've Googled and RUclipsd but can't find anyone with an idea. If anyone has some ideas please give me a shout. I'm desperate to get riding again

Amazing video!!! Easy to follow, incredibly accurate and hands down the easiest way to remove the carb!
Glad it helped!

Ill be working on an older vt1100 and was wondering; is there a carb rebuilt kit or is everything supposed to be ordered as needed?
To drain the tank completely you have to out the valve in reserve position .
Several questions I have, Ive watched the 4 videos, and awesome job you did!

Where you get that seat I have a 2007 shadow Sabre

Can you ask him what kind of seat that he has on there?

Honda off is in the down position forward is reserve fuel What you talkin about Willis?
Who is this Willis guy, Arnold?
@@retrotechandelectronics Google it

There's nothing wrong with roosters.
No!!!!!! RUclips nanny sensor alarm detected!!!!
Honda calls that unmentionable part at the top of the fuel line a "fuel valve," just for future reference.
thanx.
