I've done this Carb Removal on both my Honda Hornet CB600FY & CB600F3, it's easier to loosen off back Carb rubbers, remove Battery & Airbox completely, & use heatgun to soften Rubbers a little first, the it's easy
I had the same issue with removing the carbs, I just removed my carbs, found it easier to remove the air box, and try to release the band clamps by rotating them with a flat head as they were stuck to the inlets, after that they popped out a lot easier. to remove the air box, is a few pipes the battery and one screw.
I've just removed and cleaned the carbs (jets, emulsifying tubes, idle screws etc) on my 2005 bandit 650. Like this Hornet they were blocked and I had to use a carb cleaning kit with hair thin wires to remove the crap. When you were removing the carbs I remember thinking, when I was in that same situation, why oh why didn't they allow another 2mm clearance between the rubbers, the job would be so much easier! Great video as always Steve, thanks for posting; looking forward to part 2.
Hi great video so very enjoyable to watch you are a very patient man and so very talented i do miss my bikes due to ill health i cannot ride anymore so it's nice to watch your videos enjoy your bank holiday weekend 😊
Old carb rubbers on inline 4s are a nightmare, might want to talk the owner into buying new ones for the refit or it will be another hand to carb combat session 🤣👍
Removing tank? Push forward and lift rear. It's the fuel tap that interferes with carb#1 diaphragm cover. The "choke" (fuel enricher?) cable is easiest done just after removing tank. The job is alot easier if you remove the airbox ASAP (which requires battery removal). And I'd suggest remove the "snorkel" to get easier access to that rear holding bolt. Airbox lifts out of left side only. Removing the throttle cables is easiest done by - remove push cable, then opening the butterflies, wedging open and then the pull cable... (but I find the push cable is not ordinarily required as the springs are awesome - but may be required by law). Oh, just for sh!tz'n'giggles, replace all the vacuum hoses. Regarding the float bowl screws... either use a proper JIS screwdriver and/or use a rattle gun with proper fitting bit. I know you work on so, so many bikes, but these CB600F (1998-2006) are a pain for the carb removals, but easy (easier) if the above procedure is followed. (I have 2 of these CB600F (2005 and 2006) series and am quite fluent) Thanks again... nice to see these bikes (even with manky carbs!)
What do you think? Take a multimeter and go and check. Buy an owners manual, but I can't imagine haynes has one for a chingchong linglong love you long time 125 extra horses cc... 😂
ti sei complicato inutilmente il lavoro... l'airbox va tolto e poi si tolgono i carburatori... per togliere l'airbox è semplicissimo... si toglie la batteria... poi airbox e poi carburatori... e tutto diventa più semplice

Ha yes bud once spent hours typing to fit thundercat cards. 10 minutes with heatgun and they were on in 2 mins.

Thanks Steve !
Greetings Steve. Excelente work, I hope we can see the cleaning and assembly of the carburetors.
The videos are coming. Remember to subscribe so you don’t miss them 👍
Un saludo Steve. Excelente trabajo ojalá puedamos ver la limpieza y armado de los carburadores.

Nice job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Once cleaned and fettled this hornet will run like new again.👍
not easy on a driveway , looking forward to the refit
Make sure the owner sorts his regulator rectifier. I’m swapping mine out soon.
We will be checking it for them when we refit the carbs. Subscribe to see that video coming soon 👍
A definite weak point on the Honda bikes.
There is a way to swap a Yamaha one in.
Good job!
That dang horse p1ss E10 fuel doesn't help either!
shell super ❤
👍
You need Vessel Impacta screwdrivers
Ever heard of W.D.40.
Those cards looked a rite mess😅
what's the cost of a job like this
Depends on distance to the job and what parts are needed
My Zontes ZT 125 U 2021 left blinker isnt working neither hazard lights but the right one is working. Is it a faulty relay?

Take out and Clean bulbs. Check connections for corrosion and dirt.
@@devilsreject320 fuzes are fine
That is probably the worst looking exhaust I have ever seen on a bike!
Hayabusa exhausts aren’t very pleasing to me. Or some modern kawasaki exhaust
