If no one mentioned it would run better with air box on

[@braydenstringer6444]

Yeah, agreed, possibly stumbling because it's getting too much air

[@StayTunedMoto]

100% you need to seal up the airbox

[@ghettobirdish]

@@braydenstringer6444the throttle linkage controls how much air it is getting, an airbox has nothing to do with that. If anything no air box helps horsepower because it’s not breathing through a straw

[@braydenstringer6444]

@ghettobirdish yeah your right, but like when you crack the butterfly valves open when you twist the trottle, wouldn't it still suck in more air easier compared to it having the airborne on causinga lean condition? I was talking about the stubble/bog/hesitation when he was blipping the throttle

[@TheSmokingbanana90]

@@ghettobirdish the carbs are designed to run with the airbox on, it effects how it runs. The restriction from airbox helps draw in proper amount of fuel

We need a ATC 250R budget restoration build. With all these videos you're doing your channel is going to explode. Can't wait to see more.

[@banzaipowersports]

There's quite the learning curve when working on bikes. I started wrenching for dollars out of my garage after 20 years of "tinkering." Now, after seven years of experience with customer machines, I've found a couple things to save sanity with multi cylinder projects. - the carbs are complex and take time to do thoroughly. Generally 8+ billable hours on a 4cyl. - always get new float valves and rubbers(bowl gasket, various o-rings etc) This will save you time and frustration ALWAYS. OH! avoid the cheap stuff😉 When wrenching for dollars, we never want "reworks. "...aka fix it again on your own dime and time. Love your guys' channel. Keep plugging. Continue to take on new projects and push your boundaries. Failing is learning.

[@banzaipowersports]

Oh...the bike sounds fine. As mentioned below, it won't carburate right with the airbox lid off. The slides need that vaccum to operate properly.

[@jenniesgarage]

Thanks for the info and advice. Seems the consensus that it doesn't run right without the airbox. I am reflexively skeptical about that, but hope it's the truth and will for sure try it.

[@ballockybill69]

@@jenniesgarage Before you refit the airbox, make sure she's firing on all four cylinders , remove and replace one plug lead at a time while the bike idles and see if the engine note changes ;)

Cheap stuff is hit and miss, most you get are not ethanal compatible, and most are not stable and come back with the same issue over a few months, with the thing Oring stuff you can make your own with a reel and cut to length, and do all the weird shapes.

[@patarmstrong3582]

Dude. Lots and lots of bikes are air filter/ airbox dependant. The restriction it provides is part of the fuel metering. Without the airbox, it runs too lean. ​@jenniesgarage

These types of carbs with factory jetting only(ONLY)run correctly with the factory airbox and factory air filter and factory exhaust. Also make sure you are using factory spec ngk sparkplugs. Great videos Thank-You

[@patarmstrong3582]

​@quantumbuddhist sure, have him in the jets to get it to run right. Or maybe replace the coils. Or the choke cable. Must be the fuel filter.... Keep it simple, stupid. Sure you can slap other carbs on it and get it running, or rejet for the lack of airbox, but why? Why create more issues to solve? The goal is to get it running well. Stick to the goal. You're waxing philosophical about other bikes. Must be easy for you to quit a project and start another. I bet few get finished at your shop.

Just a thought don’t end so fast

I love the KZbin format. I can't stand watching "reality" shows on regular TV. Too much drama, planned conversations for the camera, fake problems or time issues to give more excitement to the show. I understand that there is more going on with your repairs than you may show. I don't need to see every screw loosened and retightened. Nor do I believe you totally cleaned all 4 carbs in 5 minutes. I like the new format with the low production effort. And the recent videos with the camera cuts between steps are good. Keep up the great content.

If I'm not mistaken the petcock on the gas tank to the motorcycle will only let gas out if there's vacuum to it

[@nconoan]

Not sure if it's been mentioned or is worth mentioning, but a quick AI search about that fuel pump says it assists in fuel delivery under high demand, specifically when something called the Combustion Air Intake system comes into play. So perhaps it doesn't prime and run like a normal FI system would, but rather comes on at high RPM like Honda's VTEC systems?

[@nconoan]

Can I say system one more time 🙄

[@rebootmoto]

yeah jake youre buying a sport bike next love to see it

[@nitramh24]

Love the CBR600, that was my first big bike😀 Put some miles on her and see if she runs right.

[@fortheloveofdirtoffroad]

These bikes, run different with the airbox on as well

really appreciate the convo :) keep the "real" videos coming and I think we all know that but avoiding any mistakes and beating yourself up about ti for the videos sake I think makes us as the viewer be like nah man makes it more human so don't beat yourself up about it if anything makes it more relatable long term for us long term viewers

aka most people are here for the banter and cause we share similar tinkering interests / rather watch this than a show on netflix. So-- the video doesn't need to be curated like a "how to clean the carbs on a 600 blah blah" because there are prob already 5 videos on that anyway. And we all prob know mostly the basics so diving deeper and seeing the thought process is what is actually now more useful for us that work alone mostly and learn from seeing how others approach problems real time.

You only get better by trying, failing, learning! Once the air filter box is on, it'll run much better.

[@aleblanc3547]

Are the carbs balanced? Still watching so maybe?

[@Sloww_F3]

Just so you are aware, fuel pumps on these bikes aren’t like a normal pump. It only pumps or “pulses” every once and while at idle. As it gets up in the rpm’s, it’ll pulse more. It’s still a mostly gravity fed bike, the pumps only there for the ram air intakes. After 9-10k rpm’s or around 115-120 mph, gas doesn’t flow to all 4 carbs fast enough, and it’ll just suck the bowls dry. That’s why Honda threw a 2 psi pump on it, to help regulate gas flow.

[@jenniesgarage]

Thanks for the information. Username and avatar suggest you know what you're talking about

[@Sloww_F3]

@ I only know cause I’ve had a fuel pump issue with my bike, and spent hours on forums lol. I’m watching these to learn how to work on my bike, as 99% of the video on these bikes are 10 years old and horrible quality. So thank you mr.Carburetormaster for the clear videos, and giving me confidence to clean my carbs myself when the time comes 👍🏻

I feel you on the fakeness. Haven’t had cable TV since 2003. Can’t stomach it. Don’t want to have a high tolerance for it either. And now we have the youth coming up in a world more digitized, and produced, and fake than ever, and developing terrible self esteem problems because none of it is obtainable... or even good to obtain. Our society is full of people contorting themselves and personalities to fit with what is shoved down their throats to be good consumers and voters. Very little emphasis on true, healthy, and balanced exploration and expression of their human nature. Ugh.

Should have removed the plugs for the A/F screws and adjusted them out 1/2 turn after cleaning. Carbs need to be synchronized after disassembly.

[@Nunya_Beezwax]

Why would you go through all the trouble of cleaning the carbs without syncing them?? Plus, after all that flooding, and those cold plugs, I'm sure it could use a set of plugs..... Not to mention it would run much better with the air box put back together.

The bike is made to be ran with an airbox and all the hoses connected. If you believe it may not sound correct it could be contributed to air box not being installed.

[@AvaPxiaO]

synchronize it better, air screws all the same, if you don't have an instrument use a rubber tube 8mm and place it in the same spot and direction in each carb and compare the noise of the vacuum. Raise the idle a little and do it again.
