Just took my first shakedown ride after rebuilding my Valkyrie IS carbs. WHAT A ROCKET IT TURNED OUT TO BE!! No joke! Your help and following your carb synch instructions helped so much! It worked perfectly! And this engine purrs! All I had to do was reset the idle speed and the smoothness of the throttle from off idle to 80mph is incredible!! 9 yrs later and your videos are still helping people!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
These videos are by far some of the best I have ever seen. Very detailed, thorough and yet easy to follow! Great job. Thank you for taking so much time to make this series.
Man thank you so much, I just bought a my first ('97) valkyrie from the 1st owner who drove it for 90.000 km (55.000 miles ish). It has been standing for a while as the guy cant hold his balance anymore. These video's are great, now i can clean and renew the whole fuel system myself! 😁 huge help for a broke ass 24 year old 😅
Really nice sequence of videos!. Many years I do not see the technic for pre-synchronize the carbs, this works great and saves a lot of time .. just following the master carb! Thank you very much!
To adjust the mixture screws you will need a special screwdriver, I use a Motion Pro #08-0119. This tool will only work if you have sawed a slot in the mixture screws as I did in the video. Otherwise you will need the correct special tool to adjust the "D" shaped screw heads. Adjustment is pretty simple, warm the bike up, and one carb at a time, turn the screw in untill you hear the idle speed drop a little, then back it out untill it pickes back up, then move on to the next carb.
Thanks a million D Ray..Your videos on the valkyrie are invaluable
D-Ray, Thanks to you I have rebuilt the carburetors of a 1999 Honda Valkyrie.
What I am still not sure of is where all the hoses go.
Can wait to hear it run after 9 years of inactivity.
Thanks again,
Frank
PS. You gave me the confidence to take on the project.
nice video thank you so much...I have synced several four carb banks but never A six bank.... I sync mine on the bench just like you did in the video halfway in the first bypass hole.... works great everytime... Thank you it is nice to know I have been doing it right for all of these years...
Dang D!! You made fast work of those babies!!☺
Very nice video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks D-Ray for the videos. Now I'm not scared to try it myself. Got a 97 with 100.000 km on the clock It runs perfect so far, and I'm a "don't fix it if it ain't broken" kind of guy, so it might take a while before i dive in the carbs :-)
Great Video D-Ray - Many Thanks
Nice job you make it look so easy
Thanks man, they actually cleaned up pretty good without a whole lotta sweat.
D ray where are you located
My Valkyrie sat for about 8 years. I was on the 3rd Carb disassembly when it came to that low speed mixture screw. I bought the little "D" tool for removing these so I wouldn't have to take a hack saw to the carbs. Anyway, the first 2 carbs had the screw about 1 1/2 turns out. For reasons I can't figure the 3rd one was 2 1/2 turns. Anyway when I removed it the tiny little point had broken off down in a very small recess. I tried everything under the sun to get it out. Carb cleaner, high pressure air, put a etching tool that vibrates against the body it was stuck while unside down, no chance. I had to buy another set from ebay. Honda sells everything for these carbs but a complete carb or just the body. I was out of luck.
You sir are a FINE MECHANIC 🔧
Great video! Thanks
Спасибо! Очень познавательно.
Good job brother
Awsome video D-Ray, it helped me get through my 98 Valkyrie carb rebuild. The only problem I have now, is I mixed up the pilot screws location when I took them out. Although its running better I still have to keep choke on slightly and I have a miss. Manual say base settings is 2 turns, but they were all different when I took them out. So how do I adj the pilots on the bike, what tool works best or sync carbs with vacuum gauge? Lastly how do you check the adjustment on a multiple carb engine like the Valkyrie, all I see is 1, 2 and 4 carb videos. Thanks in advance
please make more video about VALKYRIE please!!!
Great Video. Thanks.
Muchas gracias .. thank you
Excellent instructions! Cheers! :o)
muy buena la explicación felicitaciones un gran saludo de VENEZUELA mi nombre es Romelio Vargas (renegado) motero por la vida y amante de mi VALKYRIE la mejor moto del mundo
Great video. Is the GL 1500 Valkyrie motor the same as the goldwing GL 1500 SE?
Where is the best place to buy honda parts online? thank
Just bought a '99 valk. Rough at idle. It's got to be a carb sync problem. I'm going to use this video to attempt a fix. Thanks for the video
Fantastic job on the videos. Maybe I missed it but, Any recommendation on witch brand rebuild kit to buy?
Can you go over how you adjust the low speed mixture screws? Mine are no longer at the factory setting.
D-Ray, I have a 1998 Honda Valkyrie and had the carbs rebuilt at a Honda MC Dealership. NOT Cheap!! Even though I like doing my own work as a DIYer but when I learned about having to sync the carbs I figured this should be left up to the pro’s. Ridding the bike a minimum of once a week of 40 miles and after 3 to 4 months one of the fuel “Tees” started leaking and the Honda Dealer stated it’s the same cost to repair that as it was to rebuild. So I ordered the plastic “Tees” to replace them myself. So I am assuming the carbs have to come completely off / out just to replace these “Tees”.
Thanks in advance.
thank you
Hi Ray, Great video's for the Valkyrie rider, I have a 01 valkyrie Interstate not a lot of miles on it 30k. When I start the Bike, it sounds like not all the carbs have come on line take a min, after it warms up, it Idles out and responds to throttle and cranks great the rest of the day I'm not the first owner. Should I rebuild carbs?
D Ray what's your thoughts on de smoging a 98 Valkyrie? Jay
Your video was very informative, well done, easy to follow. Thank you it was done so well that I have been able to do mine. Personally I would like to kick Mr Honda in his butt, there's no way in the world you couldn't have designed that air cleaner a quarter inch smaller all the way around. Same with the stator, for the sake of cutting it one bar and half it'd be simple. I worked on Harleys for 30 years, working on these Hondas is a pain in the butt. But I do like my Valkyrie. Thank you Bubba
I have a 99 Interstate, I have rebuilt the carbs. Put it all back together, it will not crack. It seems like it is not getting fuel. I have rebuilt the fuel tank value. Thank you if you can help.
After rebuild Carbs are leaking fuel from top rails driver side the most. Idles great but leaks fuel. Any help would be appreciated. Great teacher/help. Thank you for video
Thank you for responding to my las questions so fast.
I will like to know to where each vacuum line go to from tbe carburetors?
In my 99 valkyrie i have som of theme blocked and i will like to know where they go and if i need to reconnect theme.
Good morning.
I have a 1999 honda valkyrie and just take the carburetor of to cleaning them up. I had to change the float needles. I after i put it back i get a crank no start unless i remove the air box then start.
Can you give me something helpful point?
Thanks Ray. For great Video. Is desmoging worth the trouble, rgs Ken
I counted the turns on my pilot screws and one was 2 1/4 and all the rest were 3 to 3 1/2 what would you set them at ?
Can you tell me where the two vacuum hoses from under the fuel tank go to?
Thanks man, yeah it's a lot easier that way. I guess great minds think alike! lol
My uncle has a 98 Sportster 1200 and when he starts it up it blows just a little black smoke. Well when your goin through town at lower rpms it will cut out every once and awhile. Once your at highway speed it does fine, I was thinking it was running rich, but have no idea on working on carbs, any ideas on what it may be and a fix?
I had issues at the 2:15 point. I had new float bowl seals and they wouldn't hold in place in the groove. So I didn't have the luxury of having the carbs upside down on the bench when installing, To make maters worse, it's like they had actually shrunk by about 2mm. As a result I pinched 2 of the new seals when installing, so as soon as I turned the gas on, they started leaking. I should have just left the old seals in place. I might look at making up some cork gaskets. BTW, it's a 99 Valkyrie Interstate that I bought from SRK Cycles in Pennsylvania and shipped it out to New Zealand.
Do you have a video of hooking up the carburetor gauges to sync the carbs i am trying this my self for the first time i am tired of paying the honda shop for crap work my valkryie still doesn't run right i need help WV
how many hours takes to do that job ?
Did I miss something? I don't recall you performing any maintenance / removing / cleaning of the bystarter (sp) valves. Tks
Also, can the lion share of this be done with carbs mounted? I so dread the removal and more importantly the replacement of the air box....argh
I did'nt even notice that! lol
D ray, where can I get the tool to install the needle that looks like a "D". I cut a slot in old one like you but don't want to in the new. one. please help
my GL1500 has 2 carbs. Is that set up off a 98?.....or from a diff bike your adapting to a gl1500? Sorry....new sub and alittle lost
Not at all. That works very well also. Thanks!
Why no overflow on these carbs??
Thanks for watchin'!
hey partner do you accept/charge for doing others carb work......i ran into a 2000 valk for cheap but the carbs are gunked up royal and i don't have the ability to do this intricate work....so let me know. I can pull em but will prob screw em up royal even with this great vid....
I know it has been too long, but could you give me a tip!
Have a 1999 Valkyrie, only 22k miles!
I take for a ride and some times it dies, like running out of gas, even though the tank is full.... won’t start for about 1/2 hour...
After that will run again...until next time it stops again.... randomly....
Any advice?
Thanks
Cesar Olive Check your fuel tank vent hose for blockage, also check that the vacuum fuel shutoff is opening fully with vacuum applied to it.
D-Ray Smith ,
I will do that,
Thank you
Blessings!!!!
PS great video.....beyond my abilities though !
Great video. But you don't need the music. The info is all entertaining enough.
your making it look too easy dray....good vid
