Great Video. I just pulled my carbs today off a my 1983 Honda Magna V45. Float issues. One needle wasn't even hooked up on the float Carb 1. Insane. Somebody did that to the bike because its the easiest to get too. I bought this bike over the winter and their mechanic said it needed a total rebuild. I hope the flooding of gas didn't wreck the cylinders. Doing the same job as in your video. Too much gas leakage and now I know why.
Hello from Romania, Europe. Man, you're fantastic. It's the first time I've seen someone explain everything so well. You saved me a lot of headache. If I was closer, I'd come over to thank you personally, have a beer and chat.
I had the same problem with the jets being seized. How I got them out was to put a screwdriver blade in the slot and gave them a sharp rap on the screwdriver handle. They came right out after that. Of course you then have to replace them with new ones
@@MotoRestoFL You are correct. Thinking about it I realized that I used the steel shaft of a screwdriver with the reversable flat/phillips blade, without the handle.
It’s not that difficult. Key is organization. Use some small containers and separate parts as to each carb, linkages (based on location, i.e. “between carb 2-4”, and connector tubes. I recommend dumping the plastic tees and get the aluminum ones off eBay. Finally, take pictures and make notes on paper with references if necessary. If you break it down into smaller bits it’d a lot easier to get your head around.
Really good informative video, and well explained too 👍. When you were explaining about the pilot jets being super tight and using too much torque to remove them worrying about snapping the top of the screw head, maybe make yourself a "special" tool to avoid that happening? I had a bit of a brainwave (scary I know right), could you just machine the tip of a screwdriver to fit inside a tube that fits snuggly over the OD of the pilot jet thus making the screw head unable to shear off? Hope my description is understandable. Anyway, great video as always Tom, 👍😎.
I thought exactly that but at this point I’m leaving it alone. Next time they come out I’ll do a tear down to bits and if necessary machine the jets out and replace. Right now it runs great so that’s maybe a couple years out. Hopefully. lol.

Appreciate it. Consider subscribing and liking, sharing videos. TH-cam’s analytics aren’t terrible fair to smaller channels.
This is great advice! I’m glad I found this while I already have the carbs on the bench
Thanks. Consider subscribing so you can be up on any other similar videos.
This is gold, thank you. Greetings from Uruguay.

Yea I have done that and tried with a regular screwdriver, but the handle as you eluded to absorbs too much energy.
@@MotoRestoFL You are correct. Thinking about it I realized that I used the steel shaft of a screwdriver with the reversable flat/phillips blade, without the handle.
Thanks for the detailed presentation....I'm building my courage to tackle this project.

Another excellent video Happy New Year 🎉

@@MotoRestoFL 🤞 you never have to do them again Tom.
Enjoyed the video. Where is the best place to get carb parts for my 96 VFR750. RIDE SAFE!
Check with v4 dreams dot com. I don’t know if he supports that new a unit but his stuff is excellent quality.
@@MotoRestoFL what's the new A unit? I was looking on Partszilla and they listed VFR750 A and VFR750 AC.
@@henryhawk978 autocorrect error. I meant newer unit or newer model bike. I know he has older VFR stuff.
Can you replace the rubber diaphragms without removing the carbs from the bike?
Doubtful on a V4. On an across-the-frame four, yes. But these aren't accessible to that degree. I never tried, though. Never know.
@@MotoRestoFL I found out that you can. Two of them just the gas tank you lift up. The other two you have to take off the radiator to get to them.
@@jimrocket3452 cool!
For sure lmfao
