+Matthew Hamlin yes replace the pilot jets and give everything a good cleaning with carb cleaner and you should be good. Next time leave the bike run, shut the gas off and let it die. This will dry the carbs out and if it sits it will be OK.
+Matthew Hamlin I just bought the jets from a local cycle shop at $8 a piece, they are common and usually in stock. Unless you need to replace everything which is unlikely you will spend well over $100 for a kit. That being said I'm pretty sure Amazon has them for the lowest price.
+Chris Samurai I've never heard of adjusting a float. The float stops the flow of gas when the bowl is full. Adjustments are made with the 3 screws and changing jets.
The height of the float level must be in the manufacture specs. If the float is too low, too much gas sneaks into the carburetor. Therefore, you have to adjust it. My shadow spirit 1100 is 9.2mm. Most of shadow with dual carbs have 9.2mm for the float level.
Everyone is worried about the float height, how about how he calls this a rebuild and never took any of the other jets out!!! Never blew air through anything!! Waste of time even taking the carbs off to only do what he did!!
The filter sometimes gets stuck in there, you have to get it out before you can put in the new one. Many techs also just discard the new filter on the end of the float valve because they are rarely need and if it is ever clogged, it requires a full carb tear down to address it. If you have an inline fuel filter then that should be enough.
I know this is an old comment, but inn case there are new readers, The float level must be set to 7mm on the vt750, there are plenty of youtube videos out there on how to do this.
Thank you so much you made this so simple I've been watching videos for 2hrs of people going on and on God Bless
My sentiment exactly
Thanks for sharing you show how to go step by step
Wow I got to class late.. what are the two pipes on the top and bottom of the bowl?
Mine look clogged but I can't find any diagrams relating to what they actually are.
Mine had been sitting for almost a year with gas in it and then starting to pop and idle rough.. think i need to do this?

+Matthew Hamlin let me know if you need the jet #.
+InTylerable I hope it just needs a great cleaning

+GUNS OF LIBERTY (GUNS OF LIBERTY) Sure
U make the hard is easy thanx grart man
What about the float adjustment? You must adjust the level of the float otherwise the carb won't run perfectly. You have to worry about rich and lean.

Mazarita village, would that 9.2 be good for a 750 2001?

On one side my float valve filter didnt come out, is that an issue?
+Theo Riley In not sure what part you mean. I did not remove any filters in this process.
He speaks differ language.

Does the float fit in without measurement?
+Ndiyo Tunaweza Yes just put it in the same way you took it out. No measuments or settings to worry about.
Not true. You have to adjust the float level.

You forgot the most important thing...setting the float level 7.5mm
عمل رائع يا صديقي
You should not have just replaced the seats and needles without checking float height
Thank You!
