Awesome thanks!!! I knew someone would help. I appreciate you
Nice ! Really thorough and easy to follow. You can always tell when the carbs have been opened up because the mixture screw caps are removed, I've never seen them replaced... makes future adjustments much easier. I'm glad you got it running right.
Thanks for watching!
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I was able to remove and install my carb.
Excellent! Thanks for watching!
Did u have to the carbs synced?
Hello, I have a Honda Shadow Spirit VT750DC, my carburetor is failing, I will follow your tutorial to maintain my motorcycle, I am from Mexico, your video is very well prepared, I appreciate it very much.
Thank you so much! Best of luck to you
omg you pull the carbs with the boots still attached to the carbs, that's crazy, no wonder it's so hard. leave the boots attached to the cylinders, loosen the upper clamps and use a long screw driver or pry bar to pry up off the rocker cover to pop the carbs out of the boots, right side carb off front cover and left off rear cover, super easy. i can take my shadow from fully assembled to having carbs out on the bench in 15 minutes, a little longer to go back together, routing choke cables, hoses, and air inlet boots on the dual carb shadows can be pain. The hoses you thought are for a vacuum actuator are actually the atmosphere equalizer inlets for the slide chambers, btw, those black nipples that look like a $2 drip system nipple from home depot get brittle after a few years so be gentle with them because honda wants just under $40 a piece for them.........
Oh that's fantastic information thank you for commenting!
Great video and awesome bike.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Great video 👍 thanks for making it. I'm about to do the same thing to my VT750DC. Unbelievable how restricted it is to get at things.
Thanks so much for watching!
Good job 👏 👍🏾 I have the same bike my carbs need done
Thanks and good luck!
great video, I have the same bike, I haven't ridden it in over 3 years, I am sure it need a good cleaning and overhaul. Watching your video def shows me there is no way I can do this myself. I am no where near a Mechanic. I will have to find someone to do this or just sell the bike as is. I know it won't be worth much as is of course.
I understand. I like these bikes also. Thanks for watching and good luck!
From what i recall in doing research to work on my 84 shadow, the plug over the mixture screw is an EPA thing to prevent the owner messing with it and causing it to no longer meet compliance.
That would make sense! Thank you so much
Great vid… my carbs just went bad a few days ago… sucks I can’t ride my bike, but we get hands on it though!!! Thanks for the info… what kind of fluid are you using to clean the carburetor though?
Carb cleaner for the spray and water and a capful of purple power in the ultrasonic
Did you happen to use carb cleaner on the viton tipped float needle? Carb cleaner is very hard on ant rubber parts
I'm sure it did and you are correct. Thanks for pointing that out!
Exact same experience. Cleaned carb, gas coming out everywhere after install, but it ran the best it ever had for 5-6 minutes lol. Just got it back together for round two after replacing floats and pins. I pray this is my last time. I’ve been everywhere on this bike but I’m hating a carbureted bike right now! Soaked my carb in chemdip and it turned it to a dark gray with a gunky film…?! Never had that happen on one (mostly lawn mower carbs) for me. Guts look okay but she ain’t pretty outside. We’ll see tomorrow 🤞🏼
Fingers crossed! Keep 2 wheels down!
Very detailed video. You don't seem like a professional mechanic, but your attention to detail is superb. Most backyard mechanics, including me sometimes, lol rush things, don't pay attention, and aren't careful not to damage fragile parts, which these bikes are packed full of. Its why no one wants to buy a ised bike. Anyway, great video, helped me out tons, as I'm getting ready to do the same. At one point, a text block said "I ate these words" did you have to go back into it? Just wondering what you found and what you learned. Thanks!
Yes I took it apart again and put the original jets back in. It ran very rich and stumbled a lot on acceleration. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@RayofallTrades absolutely
This is the best video so far for doing this, I wish I would have seen it before removing my carb! I seem to be missing 2 hoses...can you tell me where the hose connected to the back of the air filter (around 33 min. In video) is supposed to be connected at the other end? Also, the hose with the 'white dot' I have no idea where that is, or if it was missing from the beginning... Where should that one be connected, to the carb itself or somewhere else? Thank you
The white dot hose went to the carb(s) about 1/2 way up and appears to be an over flow or possibly a atmosphere pressure. The one on the air box I need to look for but I think I found the hose routing diagram looking at Google. If I find it I'll let you know
Here you go: www.hondashadow.net/threads/carb-air-gas-line-diagram.568774/
Thanks for your help! Another question, On the carburetor there are 2T's.1 is for the fuel, Do 1 of the hoses from the other T. go into the air filter? I couldn't tell from the diagram
Try to go back to that link I shared. Further down someone added pictures with blue lines which was pretty good for routing and see if that helps. Sorry for the delay, new phone and old eyes challenges. 😂 Happy new year!
Did you have to order 2 kits or did they both come in the same kit?
It was 2 kits sold as a pair
how many mm is the fuel line from the petcock to the fuel filter and from the fuel filter to the fuel pump and from the fuel pump to the carburetor ?
I don’t remember but I think it was all 1/4”
Did u have to get the carburetor synced?
Yes
If that carb cleaner gets into any of the still assembled diaphragms you may be in for further repairs. They usually aren't part of carb kits.
Likely did get in there and you might be right
Why ? Does the carb cleaner deteriorate them ?
@@mrmgjohnsonit can. Depends how strong the cleaner is and what it's made of. Remember that these gasket are used to seeing gas
@mrmgjohnson depending on the cleaner it will dry it out and either shrink or expand the rubber. not good
Your about to have carb issues again the shadow has an issue with the plug wire coming from the coil grounding out on the plate that has that rubber diaphram and spring under it, itll burn a hole and cause it to run horribly. Thats what that black dot is. Mine done it after 35k miles easy fix with jb weld tho
Oh really? Are you talking about the heater circuit on the bottom? You said jbweld might do it? If so, I’ll give it a try. Thanks!
@RayofallTrades the spark plug wire coming from the coil that rests on the carb. the one you removed to make room to remove the carb. The plug wire will ark over on the carb and essentially plasma cut a tiny hole in that plate.
@@RayofallTrades 2:30 of your video
@RayofallTrades if you look closely you can see the black spot where it is already arking across
Ohhhh gotcha. Great catch! Thank you
Does anyone have the carb part number? I acquired this bike, and there's no carb. I'm trying to find one to purchase.
Thanks in advance.
