- Starting the carb teardown, cleaning and eventual rebuild of the VFR750 carbs. Understanding of carb internals, a few tips and wow, that turned into a big mess of parts! Part 1 video. Part 2 coming soon! Thanks for watching!
Hi Tom, great video. Thanks for sharing. There’s a lot of essential stuff in the video people need to know. 👍
Great content. Keep the VFR videos coming please 😀 Maybe a fork rebuild if you need one?
When I choose to play the whole playlist, part 2 of the teardown id played first. 🤓
I tried rearranging it better, but TH-cam's page for Playlists sucks to manage, perhaps it's a Chrome issue, but did the best I could.
First thing I did was give mine a once over, loads busted, springs missing etc. Now running beautifully. Still haven’t found a simple way of getting to the sync screws pain in the bum!
On the Magna I have to read the carb tune then shut off the engine and turn WOT and can reach in and turn a screw, then try again. Trial and error on that not while idling. This one may be same way.
I have a 1982 set of VFR 400 carbs (Same V configuration), where the pilot jet point has separated from the pilot Jet screw, and remains in the carburetor when the screw is removed. Any tips or pointers on how I might be able to remove the jammed point ? Would obviously like to save the body if I can. I know mine is a later model but will definitely be using your video as a "how to" . Lot of good content.
Oh, boy, that can be a tough one. Can you feel the tip protruding into the bore? The port for that is right there towards the engine side inside the carb bore. If the tip was jammed in because somebody went all He-Man on the screw, you'll feel the tip. If you can, what I'd try is taking a spoon, like a regular kitchen spoon, grinding/modifying to make a blunt curved pushing tool, hit that spot with a pen torch just to heat it up a bit, then with penetrating oil and push on the bore from the inside with the spoon to pop the tip loose. If you can't feel anything pushing through, AND you're 100% sure the tip is still broken off in there, it is highly unlikely you'll be able to save the carb body. Any manipulation of that tiny hole like trying to push a very thin needle bent at a 90 degree angle into the hole, can screw up the hole easily. But that's also something you might try, if the tip isn't protruding into the carb bore and is apparently recessed in relationship to the bore; is like a sewing needle and bent with heat at 90 degrees because if you're gonna scrap the body anyway, why not try. It might come out easier than you think. I think, however, I'd be sourcing a carb body at the same time.
@@MotoRestoFL - Great answer, although not what I wanted to hear !! Ha ha. Appreciate you taking the time to help out. I’ll let you know if I have any success. Thanks again.
@@kenlizzio7096 Of course, it depends upon why the piece is stuck, is it jammed or corroded? Anyway, I'd sure like to hear back. Please consider subscribing or at least liking/sharing the videos you watch. Appreciate the support.
great video looking for part 2 my carbs are sized so bad i can no move any chokes or throttle, looking for rebuild kits. Hard to find!!

You mention a source for a metal fuel tee. I am rebuilding a set of 1986 VFR 750 carbs and the tees are all brittle and/or broken. A metal replacement would be great. I have not been able to find even the plastic originals. Thanks, Bob in Oregon.
Search eBay. They’re sold there.
@@MotoRestoFL Thanks
I am back in-state and in front of my computer, I looked up the eBay purchase, this is the ones I obtained. www.ebay.com/itm/203593273516
I've got a 1983 interceptor in my shop right now for a buddy. It's leaking fuel from a couple of the carbs but it only leaks when the bike is running. Are there any other things besides float and needle that would cause this?
Sure. Fuel joints. The originals are plastic. They crack and the o rings go bad. You can get complete sets of aluminum fuel and vent joints on eBay.
Can I send my 1985 v4 set from 500f interceptor to you? Looking for complete service.
Sure. Email me motorestofl@gmail.com. Tell me exactly the level of service you need, like a full tear down and rebuild or a cleaning up. Complete service is a relative term.
hi, just a quick one. are the carbs on a 1986 vfr 750 the same as on a 1990 vfr 750?
I don’t know. Go on Facebook and find the VFR world page and also the RC24 first gen page and ask. They’d know this.
