They’re typical metric screws (m3 I think) so most hardware stores should carry them. Get plated or stainless ones so yours don’t rust.

The rectifier you bolted in there... aren't those cooling fins and shouldn't they be out in the open air? Curious... wondering where to mount mine.
@roodlum 20 күн бұрын
That's where the manufacturer designed it to mount, so I assume they took it's position into account. (I don't have any ties to eme or enduralast) The cover does block airflow, but is vented to open air, at least. We haven't had any problems with it.

I can see my 2 wheeler problem is not bad. I only have about 15. Just picked up 3 yamaha qt50's, all run really well after a bit of carb cleaning and adjusting, new oil and such. Looking at a champ for pretty cheap. Nice video and great work. I like the oil injection on such a small bike. I always make sure it works well.

Thank you so much for this video, very useful! My only slight complaint about your videos are that i prefer to just listen to the natural sound or play my own music whilst I watch tutorials, so you might be able to save yourself a lot of effort by not mixing in the music, if others are also like me that is. I'm going to attempt my first ever top end rebuild/just opening it up to look at what might be wrong with it, on a cb100n, so this video was really helpful in knowing what to expect. Thanks so much 🙏

Thanks for watching and for the suggestion. I started this channel knowing very little about filming and editing, and I've learned a lot in the years since - particularly about capturing quality audio. I used to cover up bad audio with music.

Some beginner confusion & differences in parts which is to be expected and the shimming procedure seems unnecessary but all in all, not that bad. Then again I'm getting used to changing 19 filters and cleaning 20 magnetic plugs with their mesh screens, filling 7 different hard to reach ports with oil and then airing the system on my LC4, and still having to change worn out rocker bearings yearly... Too bad I didn't get an airhead a couple years ago when they were 3 grand. Now they are upwards of 6 with none for sale that aren't wrecked into cafe racer garage ornaments. Thanks for the clear vid, will be useful in the future.
@roodlum Ай бұрын
Yes, there's nothing difficult on the airhead, it's just a lot of silly pain-in-the-ass stuff to get through. Perhaps I over-dramatized a bit... seems like the Austrians have the Germans beat on over-complicated engineering. Certain models, at least in my area, can still be had for a deal. For whatever reason, the /7's are still usually cheap here. I did get pretty lucky with the PD, those have gotten expensive in the past few years. Thanks for watching man-

Would pulling the plug wires work for priming the oil system?

It would, though by draining the carbs, you won’t risk flooding the cylinders with fuel which can wash down past the rings and contaminate your brand new oil :)

Or pull the plugs entirely, so the engine wouldn't flood the cylinders with fuel. And it's easier on the starter.

Thanks! A pod filter requires some fussing around with the carburetor jetting, but once it is figured out, it's perfectly fine. I'd still avoid riding in heavy rain though as it's not as good as the factory intake at filtering out water.

hmm, I'm not super familiar with those bikes (I've never owned a kawi myself, the GPz is a friend's bike) but the KZrider.com forums and the factory manual are probably your best bet for info. I have a video cleaning up the 2nd gen CB750 carbs which are CV carbs like yours, so a lot of that info would apply, though the small details will be different: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haDUiXWreLZ7fK8 We ended up replacing the carbs on the GPz since we did a big bore kit.

@stewartsmotorcycles.315 2 ай бұрын
A good video and an excellent PDF, as it contains the correct way to do all the things that most people get wrong. (Like getting the mixture screw O ring and washer the wrong way round for one). The detail on how to get choke mechanism assembled and that annoying choke spring in correctly is another point that's very clearly written. The only thing I would say is that it's a good idea to grind or file the tips of the choke flap retaining screws off before removing the screws. I've seen many of these carbs where one or more of the screws has been peened over excessively at the factory, and would almost certainly strip the thread in the mounting bar if removal was attempted without grinding the tip off. In the past I've had to fit M3 helicoils to these and it's a 'fiddle' one can do without. I've just built a set of these for a 1981 750KZ from the original carbs which had been partly buggered up by someone who didn't know what he was doing, and a secondhand set my customer purchased. Why there are so many differences between carbs beats me. The original carbs had adjustable floats and fixed pilot jets, and the used set had fixed floats and removable pilot jets. I used the adjustable floats in the new bodies with the removable pilot jets. Worked like a charm. All the best.
