Awesome vid! Did not know about the direction of the holes in the slide until this! Would you be able to do a video on how to check the timing? Every mechanic I went to couldn’t do it.
I was able to take apart and clean my carburetor like a pro because of this video but I want to check what ports to plug off because I have an 03 Shadow Ace 750 California model but I want to say my carburetor looks EXACTLY like this one so Im a little confused. My carb rebuild kit from you is due to arrive today but I cleaned all my jets and everything anyway just to save them. Thank you for these videos
Excellent, detailed carb rebuild video. I´ve learned alot!!. Hey, can you do a video on bent butterflies replacement. Thanks a million from Shadow rider, Bahamas!!
Whats up fellas I bought the velocity stacks, the performence kit for duel carps and the straight open pipe draft exauhst for my 1998 honda shadow vt750 ( parts fit all on my model). I put everything in and started it up. I ran very good, great power output and no problems for two days. I parked my shadow after a 70 km ride down to a campsite for tow days without starting it and when i started it the next time the power output was shit. Still rideable but copared to before very bad performance. It takes a good while to get some speed. I checked very much stuff already but i run out of ideas. I thought maybe there is somewhere a leak where air comes i but the carb boots are new and well sealed. The exauhstgaskets are fine. The carbs seam fine aswell. Petcock is clean, fuelfilter is clean. I (double-)checked very much stuff and run out of ideas ( Sparkplugs, different settings for airfuel- mixture, the new jets aswell even if i cleant the carbs and other stuff.Does anyone had a similar problem and can help me ? Please give me some idea's guys, its my first bike and i learn all the stuff on my own and wont give up till its fixed. I am good with mechanics just to point out that i dont fucked stuff up while rebuilding the carbs and like i said, i checked that trwice to made shure everything is fine there. I count on u lad's and on the tjbrutalcustoms-Team aswell. Thanks guys! Lucas
Any chance possible to get a video on the bit you can remove from an 1100 dual carb? Or is it the same as the 600 dual carb. I know this is an older video but I just ordered some stacks and carb kit for the 1100. Thanks for all you do 🫡
Really appreciate all your videos, is s lot of usefull information... I'm not an natural English speaker so it's probable that you mention in this video what I'm going to ask but.. here I go. How many breathing or whatever connections should I cancel on my double carbs when I quit all the evaporation shit things... And Wich ones?. Did you have a pic or something?. Thank u so mach dude.
So I have what appears to be a double vacuum line coming out of the top of the carb, but I'm not sure where they go??? the exploded view calls them "air tubes"
I watched this whole series and it is fantastic! This may be a silly question, but how different are the carbs for the 600 and 750 to a vt500c set of carbs? I just picked up an 83 Shadow vt500c and she needs a bit of love in the carb section. I appreciate any info! Thanks again for the epic walkthrough!
Howdy!!! I got a VT750CDD, California emissions BS.... Do you have a guide to show which vents on the Carb I can block? I deleted the EVAP system from the bike and now rebuilding the Carb. (Sadly not with one of your kits, I only just found your channel...)
Hey man. Can you make a video of putting the carbs back on the bike. I have a hose that I cannot figure out how to route it back to the gas take. Or do you have a good reference tool?
Hi TJ, I have a 2002 honda shadow 750 ace, open exhaust, stock intake, has a little back fire on decel. Recommandation on carb. jet kit rebuild? Love your vids!!
Super-great series of vids for the carb rebuild, TJ! Thanks so much! What would it cost to have you rebuild a '84 Shadow VT500C? I'm going to rebuild mine using your vids as guidance. I know someone who just wants a PRO to rebuild his. What can I tell him, big dawg?
Man, TJ! It's very much a Monday in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada! I meant to ask what it might cost to have the CARBURETOR for that '84 Shadow VT500C. Thanks, dude! - GK
Nice video's TJ. Do you have any tips on multi-carb engines. I have a 98' Valkyrie, removed and cleaned the heck out of the carbs. Idle hangs when goosing throttle and while riding there's some popping in the exhaust. I sync'd the carbs, now want to tune up the pilot jets. My only problem is no one has a method for adj 6 carbs. Any suggestions. Thanks
Hey congrat for your videos especially those about dual carb performance kit. I’ve got two questions for you. I own a PC 800 from 1998 and I’d like to know if I can install your kit on the carb? Is it a good idea given that the engine is only 57 HP? Thanks for you answer.
Friend is awesome this !!!, i from Mexico currently i have a vlx 600 mod 93, the thing is that the last mechanic broke the carburetor, i think that is the same model that you show in your video, anyway, here in Mexico i have not find the double carburetor for my vlx, do you have one to sell me? Or do you know a site or place when i can find it?
Single carb it. There are lots of Honda Shadow/Steed that are being made into single carb. I have a Honda Steed 400, pretty similar to shadow. Improvise manifold with a 32mm carb. Works like a charm
@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS I have a few questions that have to do with some vacuum plugs/air system on my bike as I try to jet and rebuild the carbs and install a velocity stack(2004 Aero single carb, open backdraft exhaust). I recently installed your PAIR block off plates and removed that whole system. I have 2 hoses that run into a T from the carb that then went into the pair system, can I just plug them off at the carb? I also have a hose running from the float bowl for venting, do you just leave that completely open with no hose? it currently runs to a T then goes to atmosphere right by the carb and the back of the bike. Last question is what do I do with the large hose that ran from the top of the back cylinder that used to go to the old airbox tear drop filter?
Size of the fuel line that you used to replace the old dry fuel line? I finished my build and went great! Now leaking gas from the T and fuel line under the carb 🥲
Hey I tried to send a message through your website but it doesn’t let me without a part number so I will ask you through RUclips when are you guys going to restock the carb kit ?
hey i just got the black cutout pipes and velocity stacks with the tuning kit with the long mixture screws and i noticed it bottoms out on the throttle side against the throttle assembly is that normal and when going wot it hits against the long mixture screw is that normal? i have a 02 vt750dc shadow spirit
So the only filter is the screen under the stacks ? During a hard rain wouldn't water get into the carburetor ? I can't see how this would be good for the carbs at all especially is you have to travel on a dirt road or even a gravel road for any distance . Does anyone make a short regular filter that would fit over the air intake ? I have a 1998 with the twin carbs and I was told by a honda mechanic that gravity fed gas from the tank on a twin carb would not work . He said it would bog down and run like it was running out of gas . Is that True ? The reason I'm asking is for some reason I have a fuel pump under the seat and I think its going bad . The line outlet on the tank is higher than the inlet of the T on the carb and there is enough room to put a small filter and a line from the tank to the carb . Have you ever tried running a 600 cc with the twin carbs with out the fuel pump and only gravity fed ?
Hey man how’s it going. So I just bought a 2003 Honda shadow 750 ACE and I have been doing a little research on it which I Gotta say is pretty bad ass. And I came across your videos then quickly after subscribed. So I’ve checked out your website and I can see that you can buy rebuild performance kits but I was wondering if you would sell me a carburetter with the performance kit already installed in the carburetor?
hello tj, ,, e removed the carburetors like 9 times trying to make the motorcycle 1999 honda shadow tourer vt1100 not run lean and still have that problem. I installed new jets 180 and 175 dyno and the e-clip in position 4 of the needle and is still running lean. no power ,, lazy ,,,,,, and the mixture screw I have tried it in a round and a half ,,, in two turns up to 3 turns out. And when I go to the speed of 75mph and 80mph, the engine starts to fail as if there was no gas or electricity problem. I'm frustrated
So after rebuilding my carbs. I’ve come to I’m too lean. And after re watching this video. I tightened down the air fuel mixture screw. Listen guys. I’m still learning.
I went to contact you on your website but you can’t send a message without a order number, I have a 1100 but the kit is for 600-750 the carbs look identical I was wondering if your kit would work I really wanted to install these parts
Well I’m debating on getting the performance one I just don’t want to learn how to sync the carbs and spend more money. Do you know where I can find the spec for stock throttle position
I have an 03 Shadow ACE 750. New boots, wide open exhaust, velocity stacks.145 main, 45 pilot, 2 shims on each needle. Fuel mixture screws 2 1/2 turns out. I cannot get it to idle to even start the tuning process. PLEASE HELP! Lol
Ive always been told there’s no stupid ? But I’ve misplaced the Allen wrench that came with the stacks, Ive tried every metric, standard and have not found one to fit. Anyone have a clue what size the Allen is? TJ HELP! Got any extras? Don’t care what it cost!! Thanks
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS okay. So from what I’ve gathered. I’m experiencing lean at roughly 3/4 throttle. So I address the main jet with a larger one ? And that’s now tuning works?
I wish i have ur currency,so im not having so much difficulties in buying those kits..way to far expensive,.watching this, i just can seat next to my vlx dreaming when was my first ride..sad...
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
How far in do you turn the idle adjustment screw on initial setup after a rebuild, so you can get the bike running to adjust idle speed?
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS thank you, that is good to know 👍
You should make more instructional videos like this they would be a big help. There is not many quality shadow videos on RUclips.
Best tutorial by far! Again I wish it was available before I did my carb rebuild. I would have avoided many mistakes.
These are GREAT videos! I know where I’m going when I need parts like these once I get my Shadow. Thanks for sharing!
Again! Awesome series. Thanks so much. I feel less intimidated to tackle my first bike.
TJ, you are a godsend for these videos. 🤘
Awesome vid! Did not know about the direction of the holes in the slide until this!
Would you be able to do a video on how to check the timing? Every mechanic I went to couldn’t do it.
„I just use spit…it dryes out“ I had to laugh so much at that point.
Really cool video series btw. Will have more confidence when I’ll be doing mine.

Hi TJ, I have a 2002 honda shadow 750 ace, open exhaust, stock intake, has a little back fire on decel. Recommandation on carb. jet kit rebuild? Love your vids!!
Are the boots you sell for carbs also for the VT1100’s. I’ve never held or worked on the 650 and 7’s so i am unsure if the are exactly the same.
Would one shim under the needle be good enough, what do you reckon?

Sweet series. Did the customer already drill out the air/fuel screw caps or did you do that on this carb and maybe I missed it in the vids.
How about the brass connectors that screw just above the bowl screw?
With is one of your carb kits and the bigger jets does it matter if the exhaust is fully open or has baffles in it
Are there supposed to be jets left with your jet kits?
Great videos series. What is your thoughts on the timing mod on the shadow?
