Pay particular attention to how the float-needle comes off of the
float-bowl assembly. If you put it back together wrong, the bike will not
get fuel, and will not run – no fun.
I noticed some small dust in my carbs with maybe one small rock in there I
was wondering what would be the best way to get them out of there.
does anyone know how to fix it if i ant getting gas now lol
Nice video, will help me with my carbs off my 1980 cb650. Do you have a
trick for winding up the throttle return spring on carbs?
Sir my bike back firing so loud?! What wrong with this bike? How i can fix
it?
Good Video. Very Helpful
… not a Question, but a note of THANKS for showing us in detail the
generals of Cleaning a Carburetor… Good Job !
“Throttle body”
Excellent video and very much appreciated as I HATE working on carbs.
Definitely have the video bookmarked for future reference.
Cheers from NB
woooooooowwwww I would have messed up my bike if not for this video. THANK
YOU :)
Great Video !
Thanks. You helped me out of a bind!
Good vid. Now I am off to take my Honda’s carb to pieces!! Wish me luck!
Bought a bike with cv’s,that had flooding issues.Found the diaphragm wasnt
seated correctly.Cleaned the floats etc…now the bikes stalls on
throttle.the idle air has been the only thing adjusted.i also have to cover
the airbox to force a start.any suggestions?
thanks for the video man. I will use the chemical dunk, dunk, dunk. lol
Thanks for demystifying this. Great video and presentation.
A good mechanic would take pictures of a part before disassembling it or
draw diagrams if needed. A digital camera would be most useful for this
task. Then have a box of zip-lock bags for parts. If there are more than
one section within that part like a multi-carb setup, the best thing is to
keep each and every part that comes out of each carburetor separate from
each other and label each container or zip-lock bag accordingly. This is a
must-do especially if you are not going to be able to re-assemble the part
within the same day. Things can become very confusing the next day….
thanks for this tutorial…
Excellent video and instruction. I just bought a 1969 Yamaha CT1 and the
carb was all gunked up. I cleaned it following your instructions and now
the bike runs! Thank you very much.
what does the 1993 ninja zx6e models have are they slides or the other ones
we cleaned mine last year but NEVER SEPERATED THEM just pulled the bowls
cleaned them and the were rusty looking and cleaned the needles and floats
ran awesome for about a year…..then all the sudden no power under load
could that quite possibly be because we never seperated the carbs in the
first place and what ever might have been in them jets as you shown when
you seperated them with the slides could have gotten worse over the year
with varish? I did keep it full and did run it even in the cold in winter
last year maybe just idle too op temp and then shut it down but just too
keep the rings lubed, and gas flowing. So just curious on them couple of
items, I am going too have them professionally cleaned over the winter but
just as a basis is the reason why I was asking…..thanks for anything you
can offer in advance…

Thanks for the great video! How big of an ultrasonic cleaner would you
recommend I get? Also, if you could recommend where I could get one for an
affordable price? It’ll be just for me. Would a used one be ok? If so,
where do you recommend I look? Thanks again!
Harbor Freight sells a cheap on. I use Simply Green cleaner.
By far the best carb cleaning video I’ve seen. Very helpful. You should
stress how soft brass is and to use the right size slotted screw driver
when loosening the jets, otherwise you’ll chip the slotted ends. Great
stuff! Thanks so much for posting!
Whats hose connect where? ive taken my carb out and forgot where the hose
go :s
depends which way you flip it to turn it on, it doesnt really matter. i
find it easier to install it in the ON position. with the level fliped
down, and just install it with the lever on the lowest selection 🙂
Not sure, but I would guess it is very similar.
I have worked on motorcycle carburetors before that I couldn’t get clean
without using compressed air. Compressed air works really well for blowing
debris out of passages
Jesus Christ is God, this is The Truth. In HIM was life, and that life was
the light of all people. Get saved, ask JESUS CHRIST to save you !
