This is a very well made vid Paul, just a quick tip for you people putting the carbs back in.... if you are having trouble, use a ratchet tie down on the carbs to put the pressure on them to secure them in the boots Connect the hooks to the frame and SLOWLY crank the ratchet until you have the desired tension. Also of note is the boots are still available from parts stores online. If you are finding it nearly impossible to remove your carbs from the boots, cut the boots off and buy new ones.
I just pulled mine. There is a heat shield attached to the front of the carbs that the bike in the video already had removed. That makes it somewhat tighter to get them out and more important it has the temp sensor wires attached to it. Be sure to release this wire from the heat shield or risk damaging them. It also makes it harder to pull the carbs out because your pulling the wire with them. I almost ripped my wire off. Great video. It helped me get them off.
Thank you, now I know how to remove from boots annnnd you've shown me that the throttle cables can come off later. Throttle lever is seized solid. Soaked everything but still no movement. Wasn't sure how I was gonna remove cables until now. Thanks again boddy.
WOW you made that look easy. I will be taking them off my Sabre this weekend. I noticed you left one boot on the carb and the other 3 off when you gently pried. Great video and thanks a lot!
thank you. went to dewinterize mine and noticed carb floats got stuck so it's time to clean them. called the local shops and they want 500 to possibly 2200 if they mess up the boots to get my baby running. you just helped me out beyond belief
thanks u helped me save some cashola and ill b ridin again sooner thanks to u. someone before me changed out the original air filter setup with a set of external filters that hang off the side and i was told i should also change out the jets and needles in the carb to match or ill be sucking way too much air anyone ever heard anything like that?
Hi all. I have to say this and the next video helped me a good deal with my 84 V65. First: The top of the air box MUST be removed from the RIGHT side of the bike. Remove the electrical connector at the thermostat housing and the bolt holdiing the housing to the air box. You may have to remove the front spark plug wires for clearance, but it is ABSOLUTLEY the only way.If your bike is original, it will have a Phillips screw attaching the heat shield to the air box. I found that in order to get to the screw, you need to remove the radiator. Don't see ANY mention of that in this video. Anyway, good time to check for crud in the cooling system. Good luck all. I love these bikes!
Local Honda dealer told me that it would be aleast 6 hrs shop time at $72 hr rate plus 4 carb kits at $42 plus ea kit and misc supplies to clean carbs on my 84 v65 Magna. Bike had always had carbs drained it winter time by past owner and kept in nice garage and covered. this spring idel is rough and fouls @3 plug so i asume it needs carbs cleaned. But i think i'll not take it to my local Honda shop. LOL
