What is the correct fuel level in the carburetor? In the service manual it says that + -2mm above the upper edge of the float chamber. But it cannot be set like this. The float height is 16.5 mm + -2mm and with this setting the fuel level is below the edge of the chamber float.
hope of all the motorcycles that I've had I hated the Vulcan 800 carburetor the float needle with stick all the time I replaced it rebuilt it. Here it was found that the fuel hose that feeds the fuel to the carburetor float Bowl but breaking down and that's what was actually clogging the needle so I installed a filter in line with the fuel hose
Has anyone run into a problem on the 09 vulcan vn1700 classic with the headlight and starter. My headlight quit working and now the starter won't engage. Battery is good this problem happened at the end of a ride.
He charges for the full video. Which is odd because there’s plenty of videos of this being done free of charge. Can’t knock the guy for it, but I can’t imagine he’s made too much off this method.
Hey, I have a 800 classic and had the fuel take painted and they painted the peacock and now the fuel in leaking thought the carb and exhaust I drained the carb and it looks like pink water so I think I have some paint residue in the carb, so what is the easiest way to clean /flush that out do I have to remove the carb to do that? Thanks for any advice, great videos ...
+TIM HAYES Check the inside of tank for overspray (and water from wetsanding). I've had good luck using brake fluid to get rid of overspray...just be careful not to get it on new paint! Then flush your lines and tear your carb apart and clean it as well. I'd replace the float needle as this model seems to get stuck float more than others. Change oil also, the fuel definitely made into the crankcase as well.
just got my 800 the plastic elbows that let fuel to carb and from are cracked and leaking can they be removed replace with an alternative.it runs really good paid 9oo for it going to fix up slowly but surely lol
Thank you so much for such a breakdown. Will this carburetor listed in the annotations fit an 96 vn800, I am having the same problem with gas overflowing from the air filter and exhausted area. My dad said it would be best to replace vs clean.
Is this the same carb as a 1996 1500 vulcan? It is doing the same thing, fuel goes into carb then comes straight out of overflow hose, bike has been sitting for along time. Cheers
I know this video is old but I just bought this bike and if you're looking at the carburetor straight on... the larger diameter hose that is connected to an inlet (or outlet) on the bottom left of the carburetor (on the front) where is that supposed to connect to?
hello !just a litle question please , why when i change my air filter (for a K.N filter) on this bike (vulcan 800) i have many problems whith carburetor after :small explosion when i roll slowlly she is wrong and problem for accelerate .........but when i ride fast the problem seems disappears... .........so sorry for my horrible langage and my bad translation ..........but Im french!! ...arf!.

How do you access the air fuel mixture screw on the Kawasaki 800 it's really hard to get to in just about impossible when the engine is running without getting your hands
So I have 2 questions, the choke cable with the threading, i think my threading is messed up on that plastic part because it won't tighten/grip, can I replace that threaded price itself? And the black plastic 90 degree piece (hose comes from the fuel shut off valve) that piece broke, it was brittle, I can't find that piece anywhere, what can I do about that one?? I don't know if yours was the same but mine had a grey one and a black one of those plastic 90 degree things, (receiving and outgoing)
So we took the carb off and cleaned it and everything. Put it back on and the idle is extremely high like how yours was but yours went back down. How exactly do I fix that
What is the item that he removed after the seat called? Mine doesn't seem to have one. It has two bolts holding it down and looks to be made of plastic.
how many turns out from the idle screw on the Vulcan 800 classic the last guy who worked on it lost the washer and I just replaced it but don't know the original setting please help
What is the black plastic box that was underneath the gas tank? I'm new to all of this and my 04 Vulcan does not have that black box under my gas tank.
Hey bro I have the same bike. In the mornings I have about 6 failed starts where it sounds like a dead battery then it starts up right away and no issues for rest of the day. Secondly I have gas coming out of the exhaust in the morning. Puddle on the ground even. Any ideas on these ??
MatthewMCRepair thanks man. It’s going in for a full carb cleaning on Monday and a couple weeks ago I noticed there was a drip in the on position when the tank was off. Probably not good right?
how many carb does this bike has cuz i have one just like it and took it to the shop for a carb rebuild and the tech guy says he has to rebuild both carb .. so far I know it has only one carb ?
I followed your video and all clean starts and runs fine at idle but as soon as I move the throttle it dies I can’t get engine to even run above idle. ???
Why wouldn’t you focus your attention on the reason you posted this video? If someone is attempting to clean their carb then they should know how to get to it.
I've got a Kawasaki 800 2000 model runs good but don't have good power need to shift down going up hills runs about 60 miles an hour can't figure out what the problem is can you help me?
I purchased this video, and it's solid! but my email was deleted ... ?? anyone know how I can access the "unlimited full-length video" I purchased??? where's link?? I'd appreciate the help. Thanks!!
The green hose is a vent hose it just goes out to atmosphere... usually ran back towards the seat or up under the tank. Don’t run it too close to the air intake however or you’ll cause the bike to run rich. Good luck
@@HTMR so the old fitting will just come out with some force is there a o ring inside that I should repealed also I just bought this bike and it's been sitting for 8 year
+brandoania I just looked at the parts diagram and the carbs looks the same for an 05'. So yes, this video will help you for your 05'. Let me know if you have any more questions.
It's on the bottom. There is probably a plug in it if it's stock. And can be gently drilled and pulled out. The screw is underneath. There are some videos on it even if it's not the 800 exactly. similar concept
At 9:18 you are taking off a Tube with green tape on it. You say "There's lots of Tubes on this bike." I'm curious what that tube goes to because I don't even have a tube anywhere on the bike to hook up to that spot on the carb. (I bought my bike previously owned and just want to make sure the previous owner didn't take something important off)
That tube is a vent. It may lead to some kind of evap. Grab the service manual and it should have a page on hose hookup/routing: www.howtomotorcyclerepair.com/kawasaki-vulcan-vn800-1995-2004-service-manual-2/
What would be the measures to take after this has happening? The bike is bogging then coming out to almost full power it was stored for 3 years two of which had non ethanol gas in it in the on position. Thanks
@@brett7794 Carb cleaning and replacement with new fuel and a new fuel filter is simple and easy, though you may need a seal and gasket kit. Automatic petcocks, with a vacuum hose leading to the petcock (and no off position), should not leak at all with engine off when the petcock is left in the on or reserve position. You'll know when you remove the tank with fuel in it. The tank will keep dribbling out the petcock. Without tearing the bike down you won't recognize a leaking petcock unless the carb bowl needle is leaking, too. If the petcock leaks, the option is to clean the petcock, with or without a seal kit, or replace it. All of these are bread and butter jobs at a pro shop, they don't usually cost much and results should be better than amateur tinkering.
Thank you for you knowledge and time brother 👍 the shop near me gave a quote for 350-400 for a carb clean on my 02 Vulcan 800 that's why I was gonna do it myself but I'll probably mess something up
If you're having issues with backfiring & "Sneezing" when the bike is cold or if it runs hot when trolling at slow speed, you just need to rebuilt with a jet kit because the factory settings are too lean. I think i used a vance & hines kit and went up 2 sizes (3 would be full race mode) and raised the needle up 2 notches (there's several grooves to set the needle height). the bike runs so much better. mileage went from 50 down to 35, but that's what happens when you give it the gas it wants. i would suggest not doing an aftermarket carb swap, but hey it's your bike.

Time for a new upgrade carb!!
No, just clean what you have.
If you're having issues with backfiring & "Sneezing" when the bike is cold or if it runs hot when trolling at slow speed, you just need to rebuilt with a jet kit because the factory settings are too lean. I think i used a vance & hines kit and went up 2 sizes (3 would be full race mode) and raised the needle up 2 notches (there's several grooves to set the needle height). the bike runs so much better. mileage went from 50 down to 35, but that's what happens when you give it the gas it wants.
i would suggest not doing an aftermarket carb swap, but hey it's your bike.
he rides like a sportbike lol
