- This video is Part 41 of the full Restoration of a 1979 Honda CBX.
NOTE - At 15:45, it appears that the "O" Ring was left out of the 3rd Carburetor Bowl. I caught the error during assembly and the O Ring was installed before the carbs were installed.
It features Part 1 of a 2 part video of the restoration and Installation process of a Honda CBX Carburetor assembly.
This video series is presented by Peter Rose, digitalpizza.com on the Frame off Restoration Process of classic Japanese motorcycles and classic American muscle cars including Honda CB 750, Honda CBX, CB1100F, CB900F and 1969 Camaro Z/28 - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Having just rebuilt my 1981 CBX carbs and reinstalled them, I found your video very valuable. Thanks! Of particular note is the attachment of the choke cable which is incorrectly shown (reversed end-for-end) in the 4th edition "how to" guide of a famous CBX specialist. If installed like he shows it WILL bind up. Yours is correct. Also, when installing the clamps on the intake tubes (rubber donuts) I find it best to place them on the tubes before installing the carbs. All of them can be accessed for tightening from the upper side of the donuts except for the #3 and #4 clamps on the head side which must be accessed from the lower side because of the engine mounting bosses in the head. Thanks again, great videos!
This video very very helpful thanks
Nice work guy 👍🏼
Amazing video. Wish I’d watched this before I restored mine. The pre install throttle cables and the wood trick would of saved me two days lol. I eventually figured it out just like you did. Except I used wood and a little screw jack lol. I couldn’t believe how tight those suckers fit.
Thank you, I got a 79 that has been sitting for a few year that I been scared to play with, your video's gives me hope.
For everybody asking the hp numbers- this bike put down 197 hp at 17 psi. Forged pistons rods head work etc.
Nice video, the whole series is excellent, I was waiting for the "put together the carb” part, looks like was removed… very illustrative… Thanks, I used to rebuild my carbs 1982 cbx
I always get excited when you give another piece of this wonder puzzle!! Thank you and great work!
I did my carbs years ago. They are a bit complex as a unit and a slight pain but so unique as is the whole engine...nothing else like it.
Been waiting for this and it’s been well worth it, looking forward to the next instalment, thanks 👍👍👍👍
That was awesome!
Thanks Pete, keep them coming
happy to see your incredible job again after months waiting for!!,congrats for so marvelous work!! hope you dont forget us!
Nice video, wish it had been available when I did my carbs many years ago. A couple of things to note: I would do the accelerator pump while you're in there as they get a little stiff over time. Also would agree that you don't want to go cheap on the rebuild kit - the one I bought had some pretty sketchy plating and the profiles on the needles were horribly off. Since there should be no wear on the needles, I just re-used the originals. Great video and thanks!
Super video! It helped me a lot. Many thanks!
Amazing! Great job 👍
Great Video! Keep the cool content coming.
That many carbs takes so much time, and would not be for the faint of heart, when it comes to Patience !
Great work and I like the video.
Do you plate or polish the carb tops?
Like your videos very informative could you do one on balancing the carbys with the vacuum gauge s thanks
great video . wondering do you check the float levels with a caliper ?
Hi found what I was looking for joint set fuel re peter
Do the rebuild kits also come with the o rings that go on the tubes that feed the carbs fuel?
Damn they have filters in the carbs too? Wow. But I can see that causing a problem
23:30: I'm also using a hairdryer to heat up the rubber intakes, it makes them easier to cooperate with 🙂.
Im struggling a bit with the choke, since it does not rotate that smoothly. Looks like my choke axles on the carbs have a bit of a slack there, can these be tightened up?
Hi I have two sets of carbys both have a 13 mm Long hose connecting carbys 1&2,5&6 is the hose only supposed to be on those two or all the carbys re peter hope you can help me thanks for your videos
What about checking float heights
At 15:45, it appears that the "O" Ring was left out of the 3rd Carburetor Bowl. I caught the error during assembly and the O Ring was installed before the carbs were installed.
The Honda manual suggests not re-using the choke valves, shaft and screws on the carburettors. How do you get round this as they are not available for replacement?
Nice job sir, i need help
I have a 1982 cbx and i find under the carburator a spring, 2 washers and a plastic buching and the parts from the aceleration pump linkage arm, do you can tell me the instalation order and i need get a small cut pin.
Thank you
Wagner Damotta
where can i find part 2 where you assemble the carburetors
Hi - let me know when the CBX 1000 will be for sale ;)
is there a part 2? I'm having a hard time assembling the butterfly choke flaps back on. the spring and flaps I just can't get to work together.
Hi Todd
Yes, I will be posting a part 2 on the carbs this week.
The choke springs on the choke rods have opposite orientations. So there is a right and a left.
It’s important that when you close the choke flaps, the springs are set in a way that they tighten up freely without binding up on themselves which can happen if they are on the wrong side
Hi Michael. Great video. So much effort to be clear.
I can’t seem to find Pt2 of the carby rebuild on your TH-cam channel.
Have you completed it yet?
If so what is the title of it so I can search it?
Cheers
Hi, part 2 of the carb video will be coming up soon. I am waiting for the parts to be plated. Thanks for the comment 😎
@@digitalpizza1 hi, did you get round to doing pt 2 of the carb rebuild? Thanks.
@@garrywells4157 i dont think he did he already started the bike
Where do you purchase your carb kits? Happy Friday!
Hi Michael, I just get them off eBay. There are a number of places that sell them. Just make sure they are Keyster. Stay away from the China sets.
@@digitalpizza1 , thank you sir. I'm finding the KH-1018NFR. They say 79-80 CBX and should work. They show carb #'s on the boxes so I will check my carbs. Thanks again for the videos, sure make a difference seeing it done vs just reading about how to do it. At least for myself...
@@digitalpizza1 Could the name of the pointed tool you're using be an 'awl'?
@@autodidact537 , yes that's it, LOL I had a brain fart while I was filming
@@digitalpizza1 Assume video. I have a '79 CBX with only 4200 miles and am planning to rebuild the carbs. This is a dumb question but when sitting on the machine, how are the carbs numbered? Is Carb #6 on the outside right? Thanks again for the detailed restoration.
Not that helpful missed out a lot of the parts that need new o rings & removing
