1998 Honda CBR600 - Will It Run?

[@JoeTheBlacksmith13]

Jennie don’t mess around with wasting time. I don’t know what I like more, the casual meandering thoughts, or Camera Girl keeping things in line. 😊

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

Jake about to rev up on a tangent, Jen "OK Bye" Hilarious.

[@RawTopShot]

That's a partial win; don't deny yourself that positivity. Nothing in life is straightforward, and the little bumps just make the ride more exciting.

[@richbowie76]

I'm so glad that Jennie is directing this episode !

[@YeetMeyer]

Not gonna lie for the longest time I thought the channel was called Jennings garage

[@BopNaround1]

Hell yeah! Id say thats a W. No matter how you look at it. Still moving in the right direction. Good job.

[@skydiver6711]

I never once doubted that you would get that thing running. I wish I had your mechanical skills and understanding. Hi to Camera girl.

[@cameragirl3799]

👋

[@SixWheelsDown]

the intake boots are supposed to stay on the engine block. just fyi. and always bench test the carbs to see if they leak. yours did after you already hooked them up causing you to waste time.

[@st200ol]

Still my favorite carburetor channel.

[@timtravasos2742]

Great 90s bike. Yes, Honda is known for its quality and good engineering.

[@aaronpantell1038]

Street bike community is strong on the views.good for you man you deserve all of it.

[@duemoto1683]

I’m loving the daily videos. I come home from work, crack a beer and catch up on what you’ve been up to. Thank you👍👍

[@Farmall4ever]

Most likely a stuck float. I like to use a q-tip in a drill with some carb cleaner inside the needle tube down to the seat and then Chase that with some polishing compound. It frees up the needle “tube” nicely and allows the needle to slide (open-close) nice and smooth. Just food for thought…..also could have tapped on carbs to see if leak stopped. I’m sure you have figured it out by now. Will wait for next video.

[@backyardbangers1012]

3/8 drill bit 3 turns lightly by hand cleans seats mint.

[@backwoodsjunkie08]

I miss my old 87' Honda hurricane. That was one of the best bike I ever owned besides my Yamaha rd400...talk about 2 of the best bikes. The Hurricane was comfortable but fast and the other was a sleeper. The RD was a track bike I turned back into a street bike.. that thing would get up to 130mph faster than any other bike I've ever ridden. Would wheelie in all gears...but you didn't know WHEN it would wheelie lol. Man oh man do I miss 2 strokes

[@rogerquenault7207]

Love the daily video’s and camera girl pointing out all you faults😂😂😂 also love your random thoughts, god knows what made them floats stick but now that its run it will probably have sorted its self out with the vibration of the motor. Keep up the good work.

[@williamedward3198]

These daily vids hit different! Great work on the cbr.

[@kurtyoung6769]

This was some of your best editing since you started your "once a day" content. I want you two to succeed on You Tube. Just remember what it was that made you attractive and stick to that as much as possible as you change into what this new chapter will be.

[@carlreed3571]

DUDE that's a BIG TOY !!!👍💯,,, NOT EVERY ONE CAN ,,, MOST People wouldn't EVEN TAKE ON the CRB

[@bertgrimm7722]

I really love the daily videos, that y'all are doing. Keep up the great work 👍

[@jenniesgarage]

Glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@moto_guy34]

I love your videos. Gave me the confidence to take in a free non running Suzuki savage 650. Your videos help give me the knowledge to fix problems

[@Simpleguy2313]

Woot woot back to back to back videos love this

[@metaldog7128]

Well it didn’t run and now it does! So you doing something right…. Could try giving the carbs a little tap tap haroo … could just be one of the floats sticking? But it sounds quite good 👍

[@mr1bienvenu1]

We need some good mechanics like you around here. 🙂

[@senorboardhead]

Pretty good video. They dropped right on there. The gas dripped - so what ? - you knew it wasn't significant and cured it instantly. You sounded disappointed at the end - it was fine. And the bike sounded great ! I call that a win. Remember - the true enemy of good is perfect. Love the one you got ! Love the one you got ! Ask God for happy peace !

[@SuperHurdman]

Just a few minor bugs to work out Good job Jake and Camera Girl great work!

[@buddybacon1213]

That paint strippin guys pretty good with carbs too🤙🏻

[@somerandomguy3868]

Now for the fun part, standing the carbs or syncretizing if you prefer, access the vacuum ports, attach each to the inches of water column and proceed to balance

[@pocillipora]

Qtip in a drill with some metal polish will buff the needle seats to a mirror finish. No leaking carbs ever.

[@djlesinski7978]

What a treat hearing it start!

[@poisonousnut]

got my first bike last year. an XR150 to learn on. it’s been fun

[@joemurchie]

Zero reason to be embarrassed... I'm sure once the carbs are off again, the leak will be apparent and an easy fix. 100% faith that if anyone can fix these carbs, it's Jake! Oh, and camera girl is hilarious cutting off the rants.

[@tomdunn7147]

Love those Honda's. You two do such a great job.

[@SlightlyOverripeAvocado]

It runs! Definite win. Still just more work to make it run well. Made my evening once again!

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

It's running, a lot more progress than it has seen in a while. It takes a while to shake off the cobwebs.

[@kosta16auto]

I thought the fat lip explanation would take at least 15 minutes. Thank you!

[@nickjames2267]

You 2 are both hilarious 😂 im happy to know theres more videos after a while

[@jamesg5059]

Before you pull things apart give that carb bank a good tap with something metal, make it ring a little. That often solves the problem.

[@Jimmahhh]

Great video cant wait to see what the problem is and how you solve it

honestly it is refreshing to see others have the same mishaps that we all do otherwise it becomes really easy to beat yourself up. Because I have fallen victim to also comparing myself to you and thinking of he always gets it just right the first time-- and look at how perfect his projects go-- he never makes a mistake. So honestly glad to see other comments are saying the same thing-- the mistake washing of youtube mechanics is slightly maddening just like the comments on bigger channels from the arm chair mechanics or AI generated bots causing drama-- always nit picking little things and not offering actual real advice. anyway thanks for the video and hope you don't feel let down by this-- this is exactly what customers need to see as well to know what is taking time on their bike-- otherwise well the bike would just be sitting in their garage and it might never see the light of day again if someone isn't giving it attention.

[@jerryhatley5004]

Hey, don’t be down, feller….happened to me more than once after all that work and despite my best, most in-depth work, it’ll happen again…that’s the zen of working on bikes….

[@vancemacd6315]

Heck yea, makes my nights better seeing your vids

[@classicrepair861]

That's a nice sounding Honda!!! Good work on the carb cleaning!

[@robwallis1277]

Nice! Sounds like mine did after a couple of months of no use.

[@MrCoreyanderson]

That’s a W in my book💪 better than it was yesterday

[@MotoMechzorz]

The reason you pull the slides is because carb cleaner is bad for rubber. On older bikes those diaphragms and carb boots are becoming unobtanium, best to take special care of them in my opinion.

[@steveager1929]

'ok bye' 😂😂😂

[@rebootmoto]

the win is getting those carb boots back on in one piece

[@garageliving3658]

Almost forgot to comment and hit thumbs up. Be careful with that 600 in the garage... ya don't want the other bikes to feel inferior 😂

[@kr8219]

I remember the video where you were out on your back deck fixing a busted Home Depot generator. Good times then.

[@charlesmoyer5321]

Was just thinking about that same episode yesterday - lowes or home depot? Been a minute hasn't it.

[@jonoj7666]

Great job ya got it running 💪😎👌 You 2 are a dream team 🥰

[@uni-byte]

The rubber couplings are petroleum resistant, so putting a very thin layer of general purpose grease on the inside surface will HUGELY reduce teh effort to install them without doing any damage. If you are worried about damage, just up you ante to a light silicone grease. Just remember to keep the grease film thin. Life is too short to struggle.

[@JoeTheBlacksmith13]

Great sounding engine!! Bummer about the needle valves but now you can be fairly confident all that was wrong was the carbs. Maybe a stuck oil ring or two from sitting so long causing the smoke?

[@dryrottedtire05]

This video is a very similar experience that I had with my 1980 cb650 lol did everything got through all the challenges of getting the carbs off and on and then a big ole puddle on the ground good times

[@aaron71]

Awesome!! Now we're talking.

[@VashStarwind]

Wonder if the carbs kept leaking once you got it running. Might of just needed to fill up to get the floats working proper.

[@jayfakkema7895]

Thank you camera girl.

[@mws3779]

My friend had a reaction to his deodorant. I think it was his speedstick and his lips got huge and no he didn't put it on his lips. I have to say you are a wizard with carbs. I should send you my carbs from my XJ1100 to get them working right.

[@wobblysauce]

Or some mid-dream wallop as you were cheating on them in their sleep.

[@backyardbangers1012]

Wise man once say if not broken do not fix. Don't fix if it aint broke

[@jameskeegan00]

I’ve been eagerly awaiting this video 😄

[@jodyhakamaki5602]

He should have definitely had you replace them intake boots while they were off the bike..

[@VashStarwind]

Would of been nice, but its not a big deal, they are doing their job. If he had the money to, would of been nice, but if the guy is on a budget, its not a big deal. Can always replace those later.

[@twocvbloke]

Well, it's running, so that's a win (and, it's a Honda, it was just "resting its' eyes"!!), just needs some extra tickling of the carbs and it'll be back on the road in no time... :)

[@TBone-yc6zg]

I do miss that sound. My "new to me" older bike has a Kerker extra loud/wake up the dead 9000+ exhaust on it. Bought it that way and to cheap to get a less rowdy one.

[@gregorycrow3024]

For real fun try removing and replacing the carbs on a 1500 Goldwing!

[@Polecat54941]

I grew up in the French guy Toulouse!

[@TheProCut17]

it lives!

[@HoldenPower]

God bless you camera girl ❤😂

[@mikecallahan734]

I taught you hooked up to the vent tube again lol.

[@jackflackatari]

While you had it apart, you should bought a carburetor rebuild kit. Would solved all your problems.

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

Sounded Good.

[@geigertron3000]

You get in a fight? Hate to see the other guy😂

[@ericdeller1759]

Call it a win just a simple float adjustment and you’ll have it done

[@crowcorvidae3552]

"it might have been me..." *blood curdling scream*

[@SteveMack]

@jenniesgarage "inspection risk"; what a terrific term, for what I'm SURE many of us knew only too well, what you mean (sadly!)...Just the other week, I inspected a weather proof connector on my car, that was working perfectly well, and looks like was never unplugged since new...I'm sure people can guess what happened once I disconnected it!👀🤣😒

[@jenniesgarage]

Yes I have been there. So frustrating!

[@DunnMotors]

Inspection risk! I like that. I would always ask myself, is it worth taking it apart?🤔 I like the term Inspection risk.

[@projectclark123]

Love your videos keep them up 😊😊😊

[@chuckbrewington6817]

It will get dialed in. It's ALIVE.

[@selkywaters]

Thought motorcycle men use methyl salicylate/ oil of wintergreen to soften old rubber? I got a bottle cheap from tractor supply they sell on their website. It's for horses but it's the real stuff.

[@roybm3124]

It runs amazing good gas response with cold engine. Now synchronizing the carbs?

[@fillg]

I think Camera Girl had a dream you were doing too much talking and not enough working on the bike and she slugged you in that upper lip while you were both asleep. I can't imagine where she would get an idea like that. 🤣🤣

[@BeefySweats]

That smoke was probably condensation in the pipe

[@mathewaguilar6177]

Been there before sleeping outside and when i woke up my bottom lip was swelled up big

[@JonnieComp]

Wow no , into the abyss ,be one with the trees radio waves stuff..

[@njb7209]

❤

[@kevinc8744]

Thank you

[@dalfw8239]

Win!!😊

[@timflemming4christ]

"it might have been mee" I need my own camera girl lmao

[@cndream1]

"it might have been me " ????🤔🤪🤣😱😂. Say what ????

[@richardkeen5828]

Good stuff.

[@germanium1872]

You already sold your honda trail 90?

[@joephillips6634]

Hey I can't find tomorrow's link yet!

[@notajp]

“the float valves were doing their job.” No, they obviously weren’t….😂

[@56Spookdog]

👍👍

[@Jubeidono2012]

It runs, now for the minor stuff

[@theboogeyman9813]

It's making a weird sound when you rev it at the low end

[@Fireballsocal]

Please explain why the bike started when you grabbed a fist full of throttle after it flooded.

[@bhoss7133]

Allows more air (oxygen) into the cylinder to compensate for the excess fuel

[@Mattswe6]

Yeah its a Honda. It will run 🙂

[@BADHIGEEN]

99% works great on tight rubber silicone plastic or glass.

[@phillippearce9680]

👍

[@carlreed3571]

IT doesn't matter I'm on my 2nd can of CLUBTAILS 😵‍💫😵‍💫 ,,luv y'all

[@vansongs]

Once the carbs aren't too loose you can go on la trek

[@Jools-j2l]

Considering its an unknown bike and there's fuel all over the floor you're extremely silly not to have a powder fire extinguisher ready.
