- Hey there, We put together a video of the tear down, break down and rebuild of the bank of carburetors on this 97 Honda Magna. Part 1 of this video shows the removal, tear down and some insight to bench syncing. Part 2 is the installation back on to the bike.
Working on a vfr750, this video along with the other 2 parts helped tremendously
Man, first time I've ever worked on a bike/carb, and you upload exactly the video I need a week before I need it. Thanks for sharing your expertise! I definitely understood what you were saying about the pinholes and getting it adjusted properly
Great to hear!
How did it go? I'm preparing myself for the same thing right now
Thanks for this. Very informative, as my bikes are injected and I haven't played with carbs in decades. My guitar player trailered over his Magna this week after it had been sitting for 4 years with gas still in it (more like varnish). I replaced the ignition switch already (it was bad), drained the tank and got it started. Won't come off idle. So time for the carbs to be rebuilt. This video most likely saved me hours of trial and error. Thanks!
Thats awesome!!! I'm glad it helped out!
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this. The detail and information is great. I'm just having trouble with my 2001 VF750 Magna, sputtering at specific throttle positions and/or RPM (haven't yet nailed it down) but I suspect fuel issues and think I might need to tackle cleaning the Carbs.
Did you ever find out what the issue was? I’m having the same symptoms on mine.
@@erickmontero6222 Hi Erick, I cleaned a rebuilt Carbs, and when doing so found the 'main jet' and 'slow jet' were loose in the #4 carb. My bike was modified by previous owner, jets were larger and I assumed matched to the exhaust etc. so I did not replace them with the stock jets, I only replaced the O-rings and gaskets etc. I'm not sure if the loose jets were the culprit, but after the rebuild it seems to be running well. When I did the job I was reluctant to separate the carbs, I didn't want to screw with the sync between them. However, I put the bike back together only to find that I now had a fuel leak in one of the fuel tubes between carbs LOL! I took them back out and replaced the O rings in all the tubes as well. It was not as painful as I thought it would be. I purchased an fairly inexpensive four gauge vacuum kit to resync the carbs (make sure you do the bench sync first as Chad points out). I'm not real happy with the gauges, I think if I had to do it again a would buy one good gauge and setup a little manifold system to isolate each port and do one at a time. I've seen it done that way in some videos. The gauges all have adjustment valves and they are not consistent, which made it real difficult to get accurate reading across all 4. The other thing that was a son-of-gun was adjusting the screws on the linkage to sync each carb. In the end what worked best was a socket (I think 8mm?) on a swivel with an extension. The service manual shows to sync first then adjust the pilot screws after. I never did that and not sure if I should or need to. The Manual says to set them all at 2-1/2 turns out initially, so that's what I did for the rebuild and that's how they remain until I decide I should do it or not. Seems you need and RPM gauge with a range of 0-50 in order to do that procedure. I hope that helps you brother, and good luck!
I'm working on an 82 magna. the throttle cables and choke cable is nestled down in between the cylinders. much harder and the air box part that carbs are screwed to stays connected as you slide them out. man it's a tight fit. the manual say's in some cases you might have to unbolt motor mounts and drop engine down some, but I got them out.
Hey thanks for the video. I’m currently rebuilding my magna carbs. But I’m wondering about the one jet that seems like it’s pressed in and unable to take out. Is this a pilot? Or what’s it’s function? And how do you go about cleaning it?
The ultimate man cave. \m/
Thats the shop out at the ministry. Its a great escape
I think it is great whenever someone puts the time in to make a video that is useful to someone who needs this. Just curious why you guys didn't soak the metal parts in parts cleaner and use an ultrasonic cleaner...as long as you go through the trouble of removing the carbs you might as well right?
It would have done wonders, however I do not have a parts cleaner or an ultrasonic cleaner. I had soaked particulars but not everything and didn't mention it.
the drain screws are facing outward...is that not going to cause a problem?
What highway bars are on your magna
Love your video. How did you yank the carbs out of the boots?
96 mag 🤍
Did you start a repair business as well?
No, just working on some bikes for some friends.. But I do, do work for some when needed. BTW I LOVE THE NAME!!!
