Completely refurbishing my GPZ900R Carburettors - Part 1

[@richmichod]

Get your hands on an ultrasonic cleaner. Well worth it. Love your videos mate. Cheers

[@AshRowland]

Thank you! That's not a bad shout actually

[@richmichod]

@@AshRowland I bought a 6litre vevor from Amazon. Worked well for my GPZ900 carbs which I had had to dismantle into separate units (just like you did) to make them fit in the cleaner.

A little known fact, but 'The Joy of Impact Drivers' actually outsold 'The Joy of Sex' at Waterstones for several years.

I stumbled across this channel a few days back, and, flipping’eck its great… no flashy workshop or tools, but a really interesting project, great filming, splendid attention to detail, superb attitude and execution … ‘my kind of KZbin channel ❤’

[@AshRowland]

Thank you mate! I really appreciate you leaving this comment, a lot of work goes into the videos and it's always nice when someone let's me know they love what I'm doing 😊

[@KensWorldRestorations]

Great video Ash!! Greatest part was seeing you with a spanky new set of proper JIS drivers. That'll be a life saver when it comes to dealing with all the seized and corroded JIS fasteners.

[@AshRowland]

Never a truer word said... Wish I knew about them years ago!

[@johntracy2861]

Great job Ash! On a lot of my rebuilds, I go into the job with the attitude that "It's broken already, I can't do much more damage!"

[@AshRowland]

Haha, exactly!

[@andymoorhouse8820]

So what happened to the fuel tank,

[@AshRowland]

Watch this space

[@c9ckl]

Cracking work again Chap. Had two of these, late '80's. Superb.

[@AshRowland]

Thanks buddy

[@chrisjeffries8167]

Nice job Ash, also nice bit of Vagner also , keep it up feller it’s coming along nicely

[@AshRowland]

Cheers Chris

[@SkyrayModels]

Bit late now, but pouring hot water from a kettle over the plastic pipes would have probably got them out a lot easier. I used this technique to remove some stuck injectors from a fuel rail on a Ford a few years back.

[@AshRowland]

Ah cool, I'll try that next time

[@pmfilmsUK]

Absolutely fantastic

[@AshRowland]

Thank you 👍

[@robertseychell330]

Another great video, keep them coming.

[@AshRowland]

How about Part 2 at 4pm?

[@antbailey2648]

nice mate that end scene brought out the james may in you😂

[@AshRowland]

Haha, yea!

[@twowheelsoneleg5672]

Another solid episode

[@AshRowland]

Thanks, keep an eye out for part 2

[@TheBucksBiker-lh2nm]

This fantastic video made me hungry.. I’m having Carbonara for dinner 🤪

[@AshRowland]

🤣

[@peternield_nz]

Any chance you can tell me what brand/source of rebuild kit(s)? I am in the process of refurbishing a Californian spec A2 here in New Zealand and all I can find on the Internet is rather questionable unbranded stuff.

[@AshRowland]

I bought them from a UK company called M and P. They have an eBay shop and the item number was 142446149085

[@peternield_nz]

@@AshRowland Thanks Ash. Found the store (M_and_P_Direct) but they only ship within the UK... Anyway, looking forward to the rest of the rebuild video.

[@cabbage64]

Could you describe the idle adjuster again? Comedy gold...😂

[@AshRowland]

Part 2's done and available to watch mate

[@ZRXRICK]

Do you have a 1/4in drive socket set?

[@AshRowland]

Haha, yes of course, I just didn't have it with me, would've been useful for that main jet eh?

[@Oysterseagull]

These are notorious for leaking and overflowing from the float bowl

[@AshRowland]

I'll keep an eye on it when it's back on the bike, thanks

[@projectclark123]

Really good video keep it up 😊❤😂😊

[@AshRowland]

Thank you matey

[@andymoorhouse8820]

Cant find wd4

[@sham27007]

Buy some proper screwdrivers like VESSEL MEGADORA IMPACTA - Uniquely designed screwdriver and impact driver in one

[@AshRowland]

Looks very cool

[@andymoorhouse8820]

Wd 40 is not penetration fluid plus gas is

[@AshRowland]

The stuff I'm using is WD40's vatiant of penetration fluid, it's not the standard WD40 😊

[@vfrbore1728]

Rather you than me. Most of those bits would have ended up pinging off into oblivion if I was doing it!

[@AshRowland]

🤣

[@chollythecrazycorgihesinsa6505]

Your carbs are dirty but I’ve seen worse! (On my bike!) 😁

[@AshRowland]

yea, they're definitely not the worst ones i've done

[@slewisedwards]

All of the carb heating plumbing is a load of pointless rubbish, and ugly too, plus replacing all of those broken bits will cost a few bob. Thought - a set of carbs without that plumbing is cheap on eBay, about £100. Get a set, and rebuild them using the best bits from both sets of carbs ?

[@AshRowland]

Problem is that it serves a purpose and I'd rather the carbs didn't ice up on me, or worse, someone else

[@slewisedwards]

@@AshRowland Good call, and those carbs do look OK.👍

[@shaunhardie6077]

@@AshRowland, I've had my GPZ for 25 years and the carbs have NEVER iced up on me, but its your bike, and build so go to it mate, 👍. Looking forward to future videos in the series.

[@AshRowland]

@@shaunhardie6077 I guess the weather conditions have to be quite extreme for it to happen, I guess the anti-icing stuff is precautionary

[@shaunhardie6077]

@@AshRowland I think it was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction from KAWASAKI as a few people had some issues with carb spluttering so they decided to install it.
