Pro Tip guys: always remove diaphragm from carb before you turn carb upside down and spray any carb cleaner into the bottom of carb, it will drip down to diaphragm and melt it, most of those older diaphragms are obsolete now a days, so you could be screwed if you ruin them. Thanks WB, good job, Great Content, this is what I do everyday on my motorcycle channel if anyone is interested.
@Andy Cooke that wonderful news thank you, but I'm not talking about 92 ' model specifically, I'm talking about older carburetors in general, many of the diaphragms are no longer are available, some companies make just the diaphragms that you have to remove old diaphragms from the slide and replace with new, but it's not the same as original, so the point is, don't mess up your original diaphragms or you might be screwed. Thanks
I am going to say that I am so happy that I found your channel Mike! I know that if there is anything that I have to get some real world information on something that I am working on, I have your library of your videos and I usually get the answers I need to get the job done right. Hopefully all is well with you and your family!
Old snowmobile carb service truck... Once you pull the choke slides out of the carbs, pull the choke lever/button "on". This compresses the springs and holds it all together. Digging the bike content too !! Carbs were stupid clean considering how long it sat. The Stabil, apparently, helped. I'm not a fan of it. The one time I tried it, my motor would not start when I tried and I had to clean out the whole fuel system. Maybe, you stored it long enough ago that there wasn't so dang much ethanol in the fuel. Way back, gas would, actually, last pretty decent. Another great video!!
W.B. You really know your stuff. So cool to watch you work. This will make you money for sure. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Best wishes to you and your family.
I'm very thankful to my brother. that shows how to make good repairs Because my car is the same as yours. But my car is a Vz400 model. I have been looking for a way to fix it for 5 months. Thank you for these wonderful videos.
Awesome video Mike! You are awesome and love watching your videos. I know it takes time to do but I wished you made more videos...lol. Great job dude love your channel
I had a buddy that had a 800 Intruder save time I had my Kawasaki Voyager bagger 1200 , that Suzuki was a very nice bike , and kept up nicely with my bagger .
Yes its not a Harley but personally I love these big ole CC Japanese bikes from the old days. There like a canvas that a true artist can create something fun and unique on. And fairly reasonable cost wise to play around with.
Always enjoy your videos Mike. They keep me riveted. Keep the content coming. I'll watch whatever you post Mike. I totally enjoy your channel. That's a pretty sweet bike ya got. I don't ride any more due to health reasons. But respect a sweet bike. Still have my ole Harley. Probably get rid of her someday. If that ole bike could talk...the stories it could tell you. Bought her brand new in 1980. She's been from the East coast to the West coast twice in her life. Texas once an Florida 3 times. Rebuilt her once an due for another rebuild. Keep up the great work. Love the channel. Keep On Motoring Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Happy 4th Brother!!!
Hey brother not that it was super important but im guessing since didn't pull slide until ltr didn't remove emulsion tube under high speed jet.. Sometimes the little holes in the emulsion tube get clogged and cause a bog at half throttle or more.. Great video though you changed more stuff in carb then I do. Oh I can't see thoes little numbers on jets either lol
I just picked up a 90 vs750.... Sat for about 5 years... Cleaned out the tank as best as possible. I put it inline fuel filter on it. It doesn't even look dirty. I have changed it once. It wasn't even dirty and it's still not dirty. I'm hearing that it could burn out the pump because it has to pull harder. You think I'm better off just running straight line and keeping an eye on the fuel
Good to see the bike alive WB. That’s a $$2500-3200 bike easy, but what do you think? Personally I think it could use a WB decal buried in the paint somewhere… just to church it up and let it’s history with you live on with the next owner.
Man I’ll never own another motorcycle with a carburetor. What’s sad is that the motorcycle dealerships in my area will not even work on motorcycles with a carburetor (s). Fuel Injection is the way to go. Happy Independence Day to you Mike!
Exactly, and that's why I make good money working on carbs these days, mostly on vintage bikes, but either way carbs keep me busy every week. My main bike that I ride is fuel injection btw...🤣
@@thedragon2299 You definitely have job security. A couple of years back I was filling up my ‘10 Yamaha FJR and a guy on a Honda Valkyrie was filling up across from me. I was admiring it and commented on how many carbs were on it. He made that comment that the Honda Dealership would not work on it. This was back in like 2012.
And with the ethanol fuel these days its even worse, now I'm get carb cleaning jobs even after a bike has only sat for 3 months, that stuff just creates havoc. Oh yeah, the Valkyrie complete carb rebuilds approach $1200 these days, I know some guys in the industry who charge even more than that. It's almost all labor.
I bought a 1500 honda goldwing from a gentleman i was doing some work for, it ran but had been sitting a couple of years. I took it to a shop to have the carbs cleaned and calibrated, when i got the bike back it ran like sh@t, i took it back to the shop and they told me i needed to have the carbs calibrated, we can do it for $450. I said what the hell did i pay you $800 for, you where sapossed to clean and calibrate them. They said no you just paid to clean them. I could of cleaned them my self but i didnt know how to calibrate them. That took all my antisapation for the bike and just lost entrust in it. Sold it for $1200. The guy i sold it to took the side boxes, front wind guard and just made it a striped down clean bike, i saw a guy driving it a year later in the park, he told me he bought it from my friend for $3800.
I'd happily take the bike off your hands, just a shame about 4000 mile shipping 😂. One of my best friends is currently down in Broken Bow, is this anywhere near you? Great video as always Mike 👍
Hey Mike!!!!! Let's Put an LS engine in the 59 Plymouth! I think that would be awesome for next years LSFest or Power Tour. I bet your channel would go through the roof!
Do you have a template for the bracket you made? I'm looking to do the same thing to my vs800, but I need a template to take to a metal shop to get them to fab me 1
Hey, I watched quite a few of your videos on Randy's Dodge Coronet. Not seen you much recently. I just wanted to say I can see why you and he parted ways. I made a simple, polite comment on his YT video about his paid for content of his David Stanley sponsored Jeep, he was nasty and told me to piss off ....etc... A really OTT response to an honest, polite YT comment. I think that you are best off away from this duplicitous individual. I will Now follow you as I can see Randy Shear is not what he pretends. Go well Mr Beard!!
Hi Weird, I'm enjoying your channel. I have a Suzuki vs805 with a gas leak coming from the top of the engine. I have checked the tank and no sign of leak. Can you give me a hint? Thanks
Man I miss riding. The wife has gotten a bit nervous on them now that we've gotten older and there's a lot more traffic now. So I guess I'll be sticking to four or more wheels.
F*ck! I have been searching internet for months about the pop in my 1100…..nothing! Watching your vid for pure enjoyment and you answer my question. I gotta sync my carbs.
Taking the air boxes out is a mistake. The throttle cable doesn’t actually open the butterfly. The throttle uses vacuum to open the butterfly. They do this to slow down the throttle response. The system won’t work right without the air boxes and it will slow down the throttle response even more.
Hi Mike, good job! The price level for this bike, here in Denmark, would be 8-10.000 dollars, some even more. Used to ride a BSA 650 and a Kawasaki 750 myself. The Völve, Asatru shaman
30:24 i think I saw a lost roll of tape under the dodge. only saying because I KNOW that s*** gets expensive :) I keep losing them. I'm going to be hiding my own presents in the not too distant future
Next time you go to pull-a-part could you check and see if they have a spare tire for a 2003 PT Cruiser? I will pay for your effort if you don't mind. I totally disabled and wheelchair dependent and don't want to try going there. I live in Moore, Okla. Message me if you can help me. Robert

Thanks for the tip Kevin. I was surprised how clean the front carburetor was compared to the rear.
Coming along nicely and can’t wait to see it completed!!!! Have a happy 4th and I’ll see you in the next video!!!!
Good job WB! Still have my vacuum gauge setup I made for the four carbs when I fixed up a '78 naked Goldwing back in '04.
Thanks man. Those gauges are a life saver. Belonged to my wife’s grandpa before he passed away. Glad to be able to use them all these years later.
W.B. You really know your stuff. So cool to watch you work. This will make you money for sure. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Best wishes to you and your family.
Didn't see the coolness of that bike at first, but now?
WB passion and skills has me excited about how it'll turn out.
That is a great bike and glad to see it !!
I miss riding it
I’ve never seen any body use those synchronisation gauges before Mike it was very interesting 👍🏻🏴
Great video man that bike sounds good 👌
Thanks Chris
Welcome buddy Happy 4TH OF JULY

Mrs Beard does a great job on the camera.
Thanks Jay. She’ll appreciate the compliment
Mike has mad talent!
Your wife is doing a great job with the camera 👍📸
Good Job Brother.
Thanks Robert
Hey Mike so cool to hear her roar back to life. Take her and enjoy her again!
Awesome bike video, love the shaft driven bikes. I look forward tooooo seeing the completed work of art.
I hope that you profit well on the flip! Happy 4th Mike!
Thanks Mark. We should do pretty good on this one.
78th! YIPPIE! BOY HOWDY! YIKES!, GOOD AFTERNOON MIKE! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Awesome video Mike! You are awesome and love watching your videos. I know it takes time to do but I wished you made more videos...lol. Great job dude love your channel
Did you start it up off camera or did it seriously start up on the first try? Never seen someone synchronize carbs before cool.
I did hit it with a little starting fluid off camera but that was indeed the first try. She hit right off.
I had a buddy that had a 800 Intruder save time I had my Kawasaki Voyager bagger 1200 , that Suzuki was a very nice bike , and kept up nicely with my bagger .
Of course it runs! Because you took care of it!
I have the 1998 intruder I have had for 19 years now and still ride it every summer 👍
Nice bike started right up!!

Will do. Thanks for watching.

Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
WB! Congrats on breaking 68K subs man! Keep up the great work. Can’t believe the motor started so soon.
Great work! She runs sweet.
Another great video. Mike, that engine sounds incredible. $4900 pricetag.
Great video mike, again your wife did good on filming you
Thanks Man. She’ll appreciate the compliment.
Happy 4th! Thanks for all the vids this year. Enjoyed them all. 💥🇺🇸💥
Happy 4th July Mike to you and the family, loving the bike it's looking better and better each time now. Can't wait to see it in paint :)

That’s a great story. Thanks for sharing it. Really cool that you’ve owned the bike since new in 1980. You’ve put a lot of miles on. Much respect.
Nice work Mike, sounds a lot better. Hope you had a nice 4th of July. Stay safe and God Bless.
Good tune man! 😎👍😎
That 92 Suzuki is coming together and she will sound great and look very nice when she's all done. Happy 4th of July! Great video like always!🤠🍻🇺🇸🎆

Hello Mike, Happy 4th of July to you and your family
Thanks Robert same to you and yours
I have that same yellow Walmart light so Handy to have
Yes and cheap
@@weirdbeard8898 yes and very durable.
Good shyt brah!, I have a 2003 1400 intruder that carb sync & would like to have modified to get rid of that 2nd seat.
Sounds really good.

I just saw your video. Good job. I just finished up a 92 also. If I can figure out how to post a pic I will send one.
Dat old school bike lit. You can fix anything wit wheels lol.
14:55 you talking bout things falling in holes and accumulating be careful that's how I got 3 kids 😆
Luv it. Nice work.
good job man . l wish you would live in my neighbourhood. 👍 from germany
Where'd you learn how to synch those carbs and get the vacuum gage set up?
That Sta-bil saved you, after 10 years that fuel gunk would've been petrified like dinosaur bones.
You should go over the hard tail conversion.
I just picked up a 90 vs750.... Sat for about 5 years... Cleaned out the tank as best as possible. I put it inline fuel filter on it. It doesn't even look dirty. I have changed it once. It wasn't even dirty and it's still not dirty. I'm hearing that it could burn out the pump because it has to pull harder. You think I'm better off just running straight line and keeping an eye on the fuel
There should be a tiny little filter screen inside the tank.
Maybe a few copart / dealer auction motorcycle flips?
I hope you do a LIVE from your Bros shop tomorrow...
Dude where u been?? 😭😭
Are you gonna detail it? I wanna see what it looks like after it gets the weird beard treatment😎
Good to see the bike alive WB. That’s a $$2500-3200 bike easy, but what do you think?
Personally I think it could use a WB decal buried in the paint somewhere… just to church it up and let it’s history with you live on with the next owner.
I like the decal idea. I agree with you in the price too.
Hey unless u already ordered one u want another Maltese cross tail light
I was gonna rig this one so we might be able to save some money this time.
Good challenge for you man. 👍🏾✊🏾
Rear shocks asap!
Can you leave a link for air filters and what are the best suggestions?
Good day everyone
Good day Cesar
Good stuff bro! What size of pod filters did you use? I’m gonna swap mine also how hard was it to source parts? Ps from nz
Great video
You can tell you're old school cause you always grab hand tools first instead of power tools👍
Great video. Like to find something like that. Tks

Mine did the same thing. It was the fuel line
I don't know if they still have a cease to make Friday the 13th stuff but that shirt's probably worth some money
That thing sounded coolllllllllllllllll
Unless the Bobber factor increases the value, I would say it will bring between $2000 and $2500.

Mike just a thought wouldn't it be easier to clean the rest of the bike with the carbs off to avoid getting dirt in them
They should be okay
That's a jenky carb kit, all the rubber diaphragms and o-rings should be included.
Suzuki Success!!!!
👍
Any idea how many miles on the bike ?
Hey Mike .
Hey Eddie
....happy 4th, keep safe..
Hey , do you fix motorcycles ??
How about the tires they gotta be dried up? Nice Friday the 13th shirt 👍
Don't sell it. Keep it and enjoy it!
