This is one of the most unusual carb assemblies that I've worked on. I'm not sure that I would sign up to do another one. I am working on a 1984 model today. The fuel routing uses aluminum tubes and orings. I hope it doesn't leak after I get it all back together.Two of the four idle jets were clogged. All of the pilot screws where loaded with debris. Good luck you guys.
I did replace all of the fuel line o-rings. Bought an assortment box of metric o-rings from Harbor Freight. Indispensable thing to have doing what I do. It is a funky carb bank.
Hi. I know this is really old but thank you doing this. I got my 88 over the summer and finding I need to learn from people like you asap. Do you have a link for the upgraded jet kit?
Take a small drill bit like a 1/4 or so. Put the end that goes into the drill chuck in the primary carbs bore between the housing and the butterfly then adjust the butterfly with the idle speed screw until it just touches the bit. Then set all the other butterfies with the bit the same way, but with thier own adjuster screws. When you are done they should all be almost dead on unless something is sticking. Works great if you dont havd a carb sync setup.
Can I get any tips on removing the Starter Jet? The rest unscrew but I think the starter jet is a pressed fit and I'm afraid of breaking it if I pull it too hard. Mines an 85 Magna VF700C. Really appreciate any tips you can give me. Your series on this has given me a ton of good info and I've subscribed. Thanks Eric
I do not remove the jet for the enrichner. It might not like to come out. Just clean it best you can with it in there. I believe it is just for air. Is it on top of the carb, where the slide diaphragm is? It only needs to be changed out if there is a cold start issue, and I have not had that happen yet.
I honestly hate working on carbs. I know that the are relatively easy to work on and there is no electric junk on them, unless the choke is electric or something... But man, I just love fuel injection... Can you get non-ethanol gas by you?
I just rebuilt my carbs and got them into the bike. 1986 magna Vf700c. The bike ran before but it had a leak. Now I’t won’t start. It was spark because it will start on fluid. Gas is getting to the bottom of the carbs. It just seems like the gas won’t come out of the 4 carbs. Any suggestions?
I like longer how to do videos and sure miss a lot with getting to the high speed sections. I would rather have them longer and more detailed than shortened and show all the work being done. Just me. I am detailed kind of guy. Nick picky that way I guess.
You have more patience than most that's for sure. My average watch time is just over 4 minutes. Most all people don't have an attention span over 15 minutes. That was a very time consuming job. I probably had to edit over 4 hours of video or more into 3 videos totalling about 40 minutes. The long videos that take half a day to upload, almost no one watches. I try to leave the important, and funny parts, and fast forward the rest. You can always freeze frame too.
HI, really good video. What I did not understand, is, where to place the main jet 108 and where the 110. The floats are also marked pairwise with "A" and with "B", but where to place? ande the same to the cover of the float chamber, marked with 3-1 and with 3-2. Help would be really and highly appreciated :) thanks in advance, Alois
The front 2 cylinders are always cooler, so they are a little leaner (smaller number) I do believe. The floats, and bowls will only go one way, and will not fit in the wrong carb. 2 are the same. Hope that helps.
Rust Belt Auto hey the ones that connect to each other I have 4 tubes I have no idea where they go to I lost track when I rebuild them I can’t find any diagram on the carbs anything helps thanks
Rust Belt Auto hey I got the carbs rebuilt put back on before i did all that the bike cranked and all the lights worked I recently made it into a bobber cut the crank cut the old brake lights and tail lights to wire new ones I replace the old starter solenoid with a new one that has regular fuses instead of the t bone ones and now I’m not getting any power no lights on the gauges no start I checked all the fuses wireing and grounds I have no idea what’s going on anything helps the bike is a 1984 Honda magna vf700c
My savior, thank you for making this well guided tutorial!

I got the jets indi individually from dennis kirk. That is a local motorcycle shop here that I have been using forever.
Set the butterflies with a drill bit. Do the primary carb first, then the others. It gets them very very close
I don't understand the drill bit thing.
Take a small drill bit like a 1/4 or so. Put the end that goes into the drill chuck in the primary carbs bore between the housing and the butterfly then adjust the butterfly with the idle speed screw until it just touches the bit. Then set all the other butterfies with the bit the same way, but with thier own adjuster screws. When you are done they should all be almost dead on unless something is sticking. Works great if you dont havd a carb sync setup.
Basically you are just using the bit as a feeler guage to get the gaps the same.

Great video wish you didn't speed up anything hard to see exactly what your doing
You might be able to slow it down.
Help im from mexico where i can find the main jets and the slow jets?
Taking all the linkage of both sets needs to be in regular speed please. Or I'm stuck to the book alone.
If I think I may have a problem, I always take a few pictures before I take it apart. Thanks for watching.

Loosen the float bowl screws, and drain the bowls to make sure there is enough fuel in them. That are probably close to empty.
Rust Belt Auto I opened up the float bowl drain screw and a decent amount of gas came out
@@maxxlachnite6910 I don't know then, because I'm not looking at it. Must have been something you did if it worked before.
Rust Belt Auto alrighty. Thank you for your help it’s very much appreciated!
Why didn't he show us installation or the bike running after installation?
I have 3 videos on that bike in a playlist.
Thank you

I’m getting so confused to where the fuel and air tubes go to
The bowl vents? I think they vent to the air box. When you put pods on it, you vent them to the atmosphere.
Rust Belt Auto hey the ones that connect to each other I have 4 tubes I have no idea where they go to I lost track when I rebuild them I can’t find any diagram on the carbs anything helps thanks
@@jaymarleno8958 should have 4 vents, and 4 fuel lines. I have a playlist of videos for this bike. It should all be on there.
Rust Belt Auto thanks I’ll check them out

eBay. Easy to find rebuild kit. Under $20.
ummmm...
