    In this video, I show a step by step process of carburetor cleaning and rebuilding on a honda shadow VT750/VT1100. The fuel turned to varnish and clogged the choke tubes and pilot jets.

    I would strongly recommend to anyone who has never done this before. take pictures of everything before you disassemble as much as you can so you can use those pictures as a reference when you go to put it back together helps out a lot.🇺🇸

      And use a lot of baggies or plastic cups for screws and bolts! I like to label each baggie with the location of each part they came from and what they were holding on to the bike.

    A nifty trick I learned from my dad working at his Oilfield and drilling rig Instrumentation repair shop to clean metals, especially Aluminum and Brass, is to use a container, a coffee tin or plastic 1 gallon ice cream bucket or 5 gallon bucket for larger jobs, of suds-free Ammonia with an aerator/bubbler, I use an aquarium air pump hooked to a short length of copper tubing, with the end pinched. Let your parts "bubble" overnight and you will have a hard time telling new parts from old. The equipment we work on is sometimes 50 years in the field and been chugging away almost everyday of it's life so you can imagine the condition of some of this stuff. I grew up working in his shop and ended up going into automotive, I'm an ASE certified technician for over 15 years now and I've never seen car parts, in their worst condition, even come close to some of this rig equipment and all it takes is an overnight in this to perfectly clean them. It's insane how well it works. I have seasoned mechanics ask what I do to clean my parts and never tell, this is the first time I've ever shared this, try it, you won't be disappointed.

    First, I never review anything, but after reading some of the comments I felt I compelled. Second, the last time I repaired a carburetor Jimmy Carter was in office. Wanting to be successful in my repair efforts I purchased several repair manuals. I found them to be a bit lacking in detail. So I purchased the video to assist me in my quest. It just happens that I own a 2002 Shadow. I thought the video could have used a few more shots of the air box removal, but overall I found it to be very helpful and well worth the $20. I took me about three hours to complete the project and now my bike is running like new... Thanks for the video.

Now I have the confidence to do this again if needed (GOD I HOPE NOT!) lol Thanks again!

    I also was originally put off by the price, then caved and bought the full-length video. For me, it really helped. I've never touched a carburetor before, or done much engine work at all really. I got it apart fine, and got it together fine, and now the thing runs like new. Here are my notes, which might be helpful to others:
    - 2002 Honda Shadow VT750 ACE
    - I took it slow because I really didn't know what I was doing. I just paid attention and tried not to mess it up. So in the end I wound up spending at least 20 hours from start to finish, over the course of about 5 evenings.
    - I bought the replacement part kit he recommends (2x$20), the silicone lube ($3ish), shop rags ($5), the video ($20), and carb cleaning spray ($5ish). So overall, this repair cost me $70 plus time. Significantly cheaper than taking it to a shop.
    - I used a set of very sharply tipped tweezers designed for working with small electronics. It made lots of the delicate work dramatically easier.
    - Rather than using Chem Dip (I didn't want to deal with a gallon can of hazmat for a single use), I sprayed the parts with carb cleaning spray and rubbed off the scale with a shop rag. It seemed to work for me. For the parts with rubber components, and the carb body, I soaked them in pine-sol and water, and scrubbed them with a sponge. Then for the body, there were still a few places that looked like they could use extra attention (including those passages mentioned in the video), so I sprayed the cleaner spray through them and rubbed with a shop rag. This approach seemed to work well.
    - There's another small part that can come off each part for cleaning. After you take off the little disc pistons, you can also pull out the black plastic elbow intakes. I'm not sure what these are called, but they connect by hoses to the top of the front cylinder. It looks like it's air used to pneumatically power the carb's pistons. Anyway: I found some gunk in there and cleaned it out with carb cleaner spray. Also, the replacement part kits come with replacement gaskets for these, so I replaced those.
    - On my bike, for some reason, the fuel mix control screws were sealed over. Some weird metal plug with no way to get a screwdriver in. So I couldn't adjust these, clean them, or replace their gaskets. It seemed to run OK after, so I'm guessing they're sealed into the correct position.
    - I found a 110 jet on the rear piston, and a 105 jet on the front piston.
    - I used every part in the replacement parts kit, except for the gaskets that go on the fuel mix control screws, since those were sealed in.
    - Getting the carb seated on the rubber output boots was the hardest part of the process. It seems like the order in which you do things is really important here. I tried a few things without success, and found this order worked for me: 1) Install boot on rear cylinder 2) place carburetor in its cavity 3) place front boot in its correct place and orientation 4) push the carb down on the left side until the rear boot seats 5) push the carb down on the right side to seat the front boot.
    Hope that helps someone!

    • @HTMR
      @HTMR  6 лет назад +1

      John, nice job! You should really go back and remove the fuel screws and clean them up, and then adjust them. Here is how to remove the welch plugs: ruclips.net/video/uAP2gfAqSII/видео.html

      @johnwalthour 6 лет назад +1

      Thanks! That doesn't look too bad. I'll get in there next time I have the chance. That's real silly how the manufacturers plug over the screws like that. I would never have realized it's just a soft aluminum puck stuck in there.

    I just bought a 1996 Shadow VT1100C2. The prior owner took the fuel lines off to replace them and just left it parked for 5 years while he enjoyed fatherhood. He sold it to me for $800 in pieces. I ordered a repair manual for many reasons, but one is to clean and inspect the carb and two is to see where/how the new fuel line connects. I’ve not had any luck on my own while I wait for the manual. I figured while I wait for that and other parts to come in the mail, I’d purchase and watch your video. The 750 is much different as far as air intake set up and line routes, but I’m crossing my fingers the carb clean/parts is just as you showed. I enjoyed the video, worth the price if it’s identical to my carb. I just don’t know where the freaking fuel line goes from the fuel shutoff to the carb. The old original line (thrown in a box of mic bolts), looked like it had a t in it btw... but nothing attached to the T. Just a line up and a lone down. The tank has what I thought was a vent tube coming out the opposite corner of the tank from where the fuel supply is. Would a fuel line run from that vent tube to the T in the fuel line? Or is it a vent, or does that run somewhere else?

    Top tip, check and/or change your spark plugs before you try removing the carbs. Also try removing the carb drain screws and flush carbs with brake clean. It worked for me and saved alot of aggrivation. The thin wall 18mm socket in a must. Horrible design

    Hi Matthew. Great how to vids. I have an 02 750 ACE. I was wonder if if you may have done one on water pump repair,or know of a you tube posting. I believe the engine has to be pulled out on the 02. in order to get the pump out. It would be a 1st for me. I'm looking for as much tutorials before i touch anything.
    Thanks for your time.

      I'm pretty sure that's the stock 2-1 ACE exhaust. At idle it sounds pretty lame but it actually sounds halfway decent when you crack the throttle. The biggest problem is it's not loud enough to cover up the Honda intake whine.

    hi i recently cleaned my carbs but i didn't remove the idle screw and clean it as my friend forgot to mention that i would need to. long story short the bike is still cutting out when i push the choke back in. do you think not removing the idle screw and cleaning it when i had them apart is enough to cause the bike to cut out?

      You need to remove the fuel screws and clean the passage. Crud will accumulate in there and cause issue you are describing.

    • @HTMR
      @HTMR  8 лет назад +1

      Terrance, in order to remove the carbs from the bike, you have to disassemble components on both sides of the bike. The video goes through all of this. In the video I normally state, "now I'm on the left side of the bike"...etc.

      Mathew, thanks for the speedy response! I understand that there are two sides to the work. I'm just curious as to why the camera isn't on the side you are on at all times. Does this happen in the vid often? I only ask because this is an instructional "VIDEO" on "how to". Seeing what is going on (for me) is imperative. By the way if I do purchase, do I download the video or just have access to it when i want? Thx

    I'm having a strange issue and I can't wrap my fingers around it. I have a 03 shadow ace 750. I was riding and lost power out of no where so I figured maybe mu buje wasn't getting enough fule. I cleaned both carbs, put new gas. Checked the fuke filter and pump, everything is good. When I start it it backfires and in pretty sure the front cylinder is misfiring. Any tips on how to diagnose this?

    • @HTMR
      @HTMR  6 лет назад

      Does the hesitation go away when choke is partially on? If so it's lean. It may be lean due to dirty pilot jets, and/or lean fuel screw setting. Fuel screw setting is not covered in this video, however I have this one: ruclips.net/video/zm5mB3R8Ucw/видео.html

      I didn't understand what does the lean run mean, but I looked at some video. My bike is only lean when it runs for 15 minutes, and only in 1st gear does that. Cold starts need 4 tries, at least. 2nd, 3rd runs with no problems. What might be the issue?

    My bike (01 Shadow 750 ACE) was running great, then acted just like it was running out of gas, but when I switched to reserve it still cut off. I couldn't get it to start after refueling and my uncle suggested I clean the carbs.
    I thought I did a decent job until I went to put it back on and somehow dropped it on the pavement walking to the bike. Smdh it ruined it, so I figured I should just take it to someone with experience. He said he rebuilt a used set of carbs and put on a new fuel pump, but it's barely running at all.
    I was able to limp it back home, and once it got up to speed it wasn't that bad, but if you pull the throttle much it starts to die and sounds horrible.
    It's over 20 years old, but only has about 35k miles.
