How To Remove the Auto Fuel Petcock

- TJ walks you through the AFP removal process on a Honda Shadow VT600 for years 99-07 with a single carburetor.
Once you've removed the Auto Fuel Petcock, (if you haven't, you should--it's a recalled part) you are going to be left with a tiny hose coming out of the rear cylinder head right by where the intake mates to the head. You can unscrew this little shitty brass port with an 8mm open end wrench and use our AFP Vacuum Port Plugs to make sure you don't have a vacuum leak!

Awesome visual however you completely left out what to do with the remaining hose connections. Without the petcock, now you've got a hose to a carb and a gas tank, that may not be the same size. Simple for most, but worth a mention. Thanks! Great work!
@tjbrutalcustoms could you elaborate on this please?
@@codywhatshisface7220 @tjbrutalcustoms would love an answer for this! Just got my first bike a VT600CD VLX. Any info on those extra hoses would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the awsome videos!!!
a 3/8" hose fits around the gas tank spout and carb neck perfectly. the petcock actually needs a special hose that's 1/4" on the part where it meets the petcock. You can run 3/8" straight from the tank to the carb
I have a 2005 vt750 with an AFP. What type of petcock is best to replace it with.
Sorry I was in the bathroom...for 4 years lol but all you gotta do is run a line from the petcock straight to the carb! Doneski!
As one of those people who is just learning how to get around my bike... thank you for explaining thoroughly!
$20 fix! You’re the man!
Easy peasy japanese-y. Or somethin like that
Haha the ending
Tj saved me when mine started pouring gas lol i had the parts already to run a line direct with a fuel filter 👍🏻
thank you
You're welcome!!!
Dude this way helpful thank you.
I just got my first shadow I wasn't sure what to do with this part it went bad now I know Thanks!
When removing the AFP and running fuel line to tank and plugging the rear cylinder, do you just cap off the remaining fuel line?
Besides our awesome TH-cam Videos and the How To section on our webiste we are sorry but, we do not offer any buidling advice.
Do more videos on the 750
Another helpful video. Thanks, TJ.
where exactly i can het those little astainles screws? that’s my concern!
We offer them in the carb bolt kit - shoptjbc.com/products/stainless-carb-bolt-kit-vt600-87-08-and-vt750-98-08?variant=2137921153¤cy=USD&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwgpCzBhBhEiwAOSQWQR2f6HHKya-3MglJhovu5SooaQ6LBmb0Q3kAPBOwPjW72E1n0s7MCxoCYc8QAvD_BwE
Anyone know where you can get that afp plug or what size is it at the hardware store?
We offer it with our carb bolt kit!!
thanks for the videos
Great stuff man! Really appreciate your videos.
I have a 95 VT600CD. California. Love this bike. It’s coming along nicely and I’m interested in removing things that I don’t need for this bike like all the hoses and crap you removed when installing the velocity stacks. How ever can I start removing this stuff without having the velocity stacks yet using the stock air filter for now?
I want to maximize my bikes performance the right way. Not expecting or wanting anything more then the best running and bad ass looking VT600 in my area.
Thanks again for all your videos!
Now that the AFP is gone, can I turn the petcock around 180 degrees and rid myself of the rest of the fuel line? Seems close, but, there was less air to the old setup. Thoughts? tia
When you took off vacuum and gas tank feed line how do you supply fuel to carb?
Gravity
Question. I’m replacing my petcock atm and saw in a video that the filter wasn’t needed inside the tank. Is that true?
hey so i recently did this and ran the hose from the tank to the carb but now it over flowing with gas and not starting did i plug something i wasnt supposed to?
I cant see it so i cant say, but you may have. Whats more likely is that Your float valves are not seating, thus letting fuel keep filling up the bowls
Quick question. How do you switch from a vacuum operated petcock fuel system to a manual non vacuum petcock. Do I remove the VOES and plug the cv carb? I have heard a lot of conflicting info. Would you be able to help? Thanks
hey TJ, what’s that tube coming off the top of the intake manifold? i can’t seem to find any info anywhere about it, and i also have a tube on the top left of my radiator (on the back) that isn’t going to anything either but when i filled my radiator fluid, it poured out through there.
Hello again there...i have a vt750c2, my first bike...i noticed i smell like smoke when i finish riding... i dont see any smoke. Wonderi g if its running rich maybe? Any info would help. Thank you
I click on the link to the vacuum port plug and it says "page not found" on the site. Is it not available anymore?( I know it's just a screw but I wanna get the right one)
What does the hose on the intake manifold go to?
Hi I would also like to do the same thing but I don't understand how I can reconnect the fuel lines thanks sorry for the translation I'm in Italy
Did this mod but lost all power in all gears. Basically after half throttle I get nothing more out of the bike. Has anyone else had this issue? I've done a carb clean, bike has original jets. I removed it due to a huge tear in the afv diaphragm and it was causing the bike to cut out at a constant speed of 55mph and over and going uphill. Now I feel like the lost a quarter of its horsepower. Please help thank you.
Dude you're my hero just picked up 06 honda shadow 600 vlx that sounded like it wasn't getting enough gas pulled that out and removed the spring and it fired right up. Just wondering If you could link the vacuum plug screw
Hey man, I have an 85 Vt500c bobber, peacock diaphragm is pooches. Where can I get a petcock that fits without a diaphragm? I'm in Ontario Canada and this thing is pissing me off. When it gets hot after an hour ride I have to wait 20 minutes after I shut it off ( like after gassing up the tank ) before I can start the bike again. Seems like its evaporated the gas in the diaphragm. Any advice much appreciated!!!! Great video. Thanks!
You are the GOAT
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS GREATEST OF ALL TIME! Haha also the ending had me dying💀💀
Im trying to find that afp plug on your website but I’m not seeing it. Any help?
I hope you grasp how much this information means to me.
What size is the fuel line? So I can purchase some before I remove the line.
Dang...Cursing that dog...poor Lil pooch. Probably protects you while you sleep...lol!
very informative. Now, do I have the guts to attempt this?
I have a 99 model vt750 and I think it's the same way I just got it the other day
Would connecting the gas line directly to the carb cause any issues with the bike?
It shouldn't cause any harm but you have to put a fuel filter in between, some people by-pass the fuel pump too but give all the options a try and see what works on your bike. If you can run without a pump, good for you, you have cut off some of the clutter
not usually, try it and see how she runs!
@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS I’m curious how you can tell if the AFP is bad? My 2001 VLX has a small fuel leak and can’t tell if it’s coming from the AFP or not. It continues to leak even after I have the mechanical petcock closed so I’m thinking to look at that instead of the AFP. Also, if the AFP has been recalled, is that something the Honda dealer should be taking care of? #inquiringmindswanttoknow #askingforafriend
What is the thread size on the screw plug ?
steve dental did you find out the thread size?
@@fidelhernandez7392 No but I'm doing it today so I will type it out here when I found out .
M5x0.80x8mm
Hi TJ, Ive been scrolling through your videos, im not sure if youve made it, I am looking to see how to connect the fuel lines that you are removing from the afp. do i need to put a valve on it, im afraid of flooding the carbs. Please point me in the right direction! thank you for your videos!
Ditto. I just bought the plug myself. I'd guess a fuel filter kit wouldn't hurt?
@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS just removed the AFP and plugged the rear cylinder. Im having trouble finding the best way to route the fuel line from the tank to the carb, with an inline fuel filter like suggested. Can you recommend any methods on this?
you ever figure out how to do this? I am having the same problem
What size is the fuel lines? I’ve read that it is 5/16 or 3/8. I know that isn’t much of a difference but I want to be exact so I can get the right size fuel filter to replace my AFP.
Which one you ended up using? 5/16? Or 3/8?
Hey TJ,
Im bypassing the AFP on my 01 Shadow 600, and im wondering what type of hose you use running from the tank directly to the carb. The connectors are different sizes on each end so the stock hose connected to the gas tank isn't really sitting well on the carb.
Do you sell a hose for this, or can you recommend one that you would use?
3/4 the fitting at the tank is 1/4
I did this mod on my 600 due to the auto fuel petcock failing completely on me (diaphragm had failed and shut the all fuel off to my bike). I removed the afp and put in the plug. My problem is that I can’t seem to fit an in-line fuel filter in when I run a gas line from my tank to my carb. Just doesn’t seem to fit in the space for some reason. Could you maybe make a video showing how to run a fuel line directly to the carb and where the fuel filter goes after this mod is done. Thanks TJ
You may not need a fuel filter as there's one inside the tank. I had a hard time running the fuel line after I removed the auto-shutoff as it was a very tight turn. I used two brass fittings to make the gas line get to the carb. One was a 90 degree fitting, with a hose fitting on one end and a tapped hole on the female outlet. I used another fitting that was male threaded on one end and a hose fitting on the other.With two short pieces of hose and the right angle fittings, it went on rather easily. I now have a tank from a 750 Shadow Aero on my VLX 600. The petcock is under the left edge of the tank, not deep in the center like the original VLX tank petcock was.
I think we’re going to need another video on this too.
02 vlx deluxe. My brothers afp failed on him a few times. Saw this vid and removed the afp but had same issues. Idled great but would not throttle up. After many hard revs it would run GREAT up until you got about 30 miles then it’d stall out and not start. Once cooled the process starts over. Cleaned and rejected carb seemed to help for two days but went right back to hell. Can’t find ANYTHING on this issue.
@tjbrutalcustoms do you have any ideas on this one?
Took my AFP off my bike cause it was leaking. (Don’t need it anyway). Now I’m having a hard time to find the right fuel lines and fuel filter to run strait from my tank to my carburetor. Google the fuel line size and bought one filter that was the size Google said but was way to small for my lines. Really need help getting the right stuff. Saw that you sell a filter online but not sure if it will be too small too or not.
Awesome. Google said a 5/16 fuel filter would fit but when I went to put it on it was nearly big enough
Like the video , would like to see a Yamaha video.😎
Does the 1999 vlx 600 cd 2 have that too?
*Thanks for the video. So this might be a stupid question but can I take the guts out of the AFP and use it that way?*
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS *cool thanks. It was working. Got a different hose and used my mouth to suck on it and it started flowing. What a pain in the ass these are.*
Ok my bike is complete and I need a reference for the other parts I had to take off to get to it,
Thanks big Guy!! Your the cats meow!;)
Where do you get the AFP Bolt
I want to order this bolt!!
HAHAHA the ending was hilarious , ordered more parts right after video!
I would imagine that would apply to the VTX 1300 06
What’s the advantage of removing this ?
its a recalled part. it will leave you stranded. Honda dealerships would have you come in and literally just bypass the AFP with a hose.
Hey TJ I see that you sell exhaust pipes for 750 do you sell them for the 1100 I like the sound and the look but I can’t find any in my Price range my bike is 07 saber 1100cc
Sweet thanks
Hey TJ I found some pipes I like for my shadow 1100 but the pipes say the fit for a vt 400 and 600 would it fit it’s like a set up like you sell but it goes but alil bit
Ok thank you
Hey TJ do you still sell the black Chrome back daft exhaust ?
The link to the afp bolt no longer works. Does anyone know what size bolt it is?
Did you ever figure out what size?
@@aredrectangle2683 i did. I don’t remember the size though. I just took out the fitting and brought it with me to the hardware store and found a bolt that matched the size.
@@flip4life05 Has your bike been running fine since? Also wondering how you ran the gas line and year of your bike, mine is a 2003 VLX 600. Thanks
@@TheBlackSheepDiaries the bike has been running fine. I just got some braided fuel hose and put an in-line fuel filter between the tank and the carb. It’s a 2000 VLX600
@@flip4life05 Oh great, Happy for you and now I might give it a try, mine started pouring gas all over the place while running, pet cock had stopped working sometimes, and she was stalling at 50 mph sometimes. Would have to wait about 15 minutes and it would fire back up. The gas leak put her on hold though and I didn't know where to start. I'm thinking get rid of that recall part, filter like you did, and new regular petcock might be my answer. Thanks so much friend, stay safe out there.
Hey bro could you tel me about how long it takes to get in stock items shipped?!
I have emailed customer service multiple times and tried calling and couldn’t get in touch with anyone and recieved no feedback back bud!
It’d be Dakota Harper buddy or dharper@fakeshooker.com
Is the number on Facebook still good for me to call?! I have the order confirmations! I really appreciate your help! My bike is currently on a lift at the local bike shop and didn’t realize I needed a new exhaust until a couple weeks ago when I placed the order!! So my mechanic is askin when parts are coming so he can get it finished!
I appreciate you checking with them man! But unless I’m majorly missing something I’m only seeing the very first email they sent and I replied back with my order confirmation numbers!! Haven’t received anything since then bro! I’m patient and understand it might take a couple weeks to get here I just gotta let me mech know what what’s up! Been 2 weeks already so trying to find out a estimate of how much longer!! Thanks
Thanks for the info, I have a 2007 shadow 600 and the petcock is attached to the gas tank. How do I take that one off?
There’s a Phillips at the center of the knob. Unscrew it and the petcock will slide straight out, and you can lift the tank. I used to losen the main poly, and jusy twist it out of the way. What a pain. Lol.
The only problem is if one day your carb float bowl get stuck one day from neglect, it can let gas flood past your carbs and contaminate your float bowl one day. Because you petcock won't auto shut off while you engine is not running!!!
LMFAO you said nipple!
All good till the carb float goes bad and the cylinders flood with gas, as happened with mine😂😂
That's very poopy!! Major bummer!
My bike turns over
good. mine does too!
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMSmine 3 🤣 this makes no sense at all!
