Hi, I bought a disassembled Honda Vf 400 f from 1982 and I'm going crazy trying to assemble those carburettors, this video helped me a lot! thanks, from Argentina
5:07 is the choke plunger that he is installing and struggling with. I find it much easier to leave the actuating rod off, and install the plunger, then plunger spring, followed by the retaining cap. THEN, put the end of the rod with the spring in place into the the eyes on the carb body and then rotate the rod with the hooks catching the groove on the end of the plunger. After that, slide the plastic sleeve in from the end, and then install the linkage bracket and retaining nut on the end of the rod. I have 83 and 85 V65 Magnas.
I took my magna to a shop to rebuild my carbs. $1300 later and it runs much better. Id like to think i could have done it myself after watching your video. And all the hose fittings have plastic zip ties. I think 1300 was way too much. Uggg
wait a sec. dija install the float valve seat without its alloy washer >>???? use a dab of grease on the choke plunger so it wont stick after months in storage. u forgot to attach the operating lever on the choke linkage.

Great video very helpful 👍🏻
When you can get these carbs dialed in, these bikes are runners!
Great attention to detail. Thank you for sharing.
Makes me glad my 84 700 magna is running great.
I love you! I love v65s and your videos the best I've seen for any vehicle repair. I got 3000gtvr4, Miata and 240sx so I've seen a few lol
