  • In today's episode, I cover the basics of the carburettors for a Suzuki Intruder/Boulevard VS1400.
    If your bike has been in storage for a number of months and not been ridden or maintained, chances are that you will be having trouble getting it started. The first port of call should be to check your carbs for dirt, dried fuel, and corrosion. Make sure that your JETS are clean and that your float is functioning correctly.

    This is the biggest project I have taken on, The bike will be completely stripped down to the frame, the engine will be removed for new piston rings to be installed, the wiring harness is going to be rewired and the entire bike overhauled, ready for spring 2020....I hope.

      I checked my firing on back cylinder working good.and running. Back cylinder is firing but no fuel. I can sqirt fuel into carburetor and it starts running until that fuel runs out. What could be my problem.

    Yet another another top notch video !! Loved the the carb float comparison with a toilet cistern......simple and easy to understand : ) I'm hoping once you start putting the bike back together you'll cover synchronising the carbs (please !!)....as I'm sure that's something a lot of 1400 owners would like to have explained........me included !!!
    As always keep up the great work, its steadily becoming THE place to go to for all things VS1400 related : )

    •  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for your kind words Martin, it really is appreciated! There will be most definitely a carb sync video, thinking of doing a DIY carb sync tool versus off the shelf tool to see what the difference in accuracy is like, what do you think?

    PS Pulled my carbs off to re-jet with a 6 Sigma kit, also found the front carb slide piston gummed up, explained why it was running so bad!

    I stripped my vs1400 as naked as it can be few months ago. I needed to paint the frame and everything else. Now im putting it back together and i already have nightmares where i try to sync those carbs. Last winter i did that about thousand times so i know how to sync those bastards, but man i hate to do that. Good luck with your project!

      Thanks Kylyma, I am hoping the carb sync will go smoothly when we get too it that's for sure :)

    Hi.love all your videos. just one question on the carbs. is there fuel/air screws on these carbs.
    if so , mine seem to be covered up. assuming they need to be drilled out. In saying this. How big of a job is this to drill out?
    kind regards, two wheels.

    Hey. Benny from Sweden.. I have a 1996. I heard you were talking about carb sync. My lowsync is off.. When its idle only the forward cylinder is running. When i give a little gas both both run. Is there a sync video in the works or? Great videos btw mate. Thanx a bunch :)

  • @codywilliams589

    I have 95 intruder 1400. I'm having a problem with a high idle. Only after the bike is warm. If I'm coming to a stop with the clutch in. It idles high but I can let go of the clutch until it starts to grab a little and the idle will go back down to normal. But as soon as I hit the throttle a little the idle rises again. The throttle cable is not sticking. Only happens when bike is warmed up. I have on taken carbs off yet. I'm also thinking maybe there's a vacuum leak.

  • @stevelaforce7806
    @stevelaforce7806 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a 2008 S83 Boulevard aka Intruder that backfires on the right side of the bike only. I assume this means that the front cylinder's carb is the only one that needs rebuilt correct? Is there a way to clean the jets without removing the carb? This bike sat in a garage for about 17 months with gas in the tank after the previous owner passed away. I find that riding the bike with the choke on almost entirely eliminates the backfiring. What would you recommend my best course of action is for someone like myself without a garage to work in and only basic mechanical skills?
    Thanks

    Hello, your videos are an awsome help! I have two Intuder 1400 my self, one -98 and one -89. If i can ask a question... Why are the slide on the rear carb on the-98 juming up and down like crazy and fuel are pouring out (flooding) of the back of the carb?? (no it doesent run right) Please help and best regards from Sweden :)

    •  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Fuel pouring out from the carb is usually a sign that the float needle is either stuck open or the float height is too high and is allowing too much fuel into the bowl

  • @noahnoah4526
    @noahnoah4526 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Is the VS1400 one carb per cylinder? Or do they both serve both cylinders?

    •  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      2 carbs, 1 for each cylinder

  • @sexoda
    @sexoda 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Could carbs be the culprit of gas coming out of my exhaust? I'm desperately hoping its not bad rings

    •  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Are you 100% certain it's gas? If yes, then I would say you are running incredibly rich or more so, have a stuck float in your carbs which is leaking into your cylinders when it shouldn't be. You will likely have fuel now mixed with your engine oil if this is the case, so may be worth removing, cleaning and rebuilding the carbs. Then before anything else, drop the engine oil and replace.

    • @robneale955
      @robneale955 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Did you find the problem to be a stuck carb float? I have the same problem. Fuel dripping from the bike, rear cylinder not firing and fuel coming from that exhaust. The bike has been stood for 2 years so I can only assume it’s gummed up.

    What do you do if you can't get the float Bowl off the screws are stripping out

    •  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Very VERY carefully drill the heads out/off. Then replace the screws with the correct thread pitch

    • @wheyez1
      @wheyez1 ปีที่แล้ว

      Another way is using a impact driver tool, the one you hit with a hammer. It can a lot of times grab just enough to loosen the screw, then replace it. Another way is cutting a line across it and using a flat head screwdriver, but even here I would use the driver tool.

    Hey my bike runs great at low throttle to mid range. But at wide open throttle it has a two or three second delay before it comes to life. What are your thoughts? It's a vs1400. Thanks.

    •  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It could be a number of things. First I would check is for AIR leaks around the carbs and cylinder manifolds. If there are no air leaks, it could be that your carbs are running too rich or too lean. You would need to adjust the fuel air mixture to see if this makes a difference. Let me know how you get on.

      Cleaning the carbs isn't the challenge. It's resynchronizing them without proper equipment that is the shortcoming.
