EASIEST Carburetor Rebuild for Honda Shadow: Part 4 of 4

[@gordgoroth]

How far in do you turn the idle adjustment screw on initial setup after a rebuild, so you can get the bike running to adjust idle speed?

[@gordgoroth]

@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS thank you, that is good to know 👍

[@CopyCatGarage]

Best tutorial by far! Again I wish it was available before I did my carb rebuild. I would have avoided many mistakes.

[@MrJtnsk8]

You should make more instructional videos like this they would be a big help. There is not many quality shadow videos on KZbin.

[@georgesteffens7489]

These are GREAT videos! I know where I’m going when I need parts like these once I get my Shadow. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheNanoArcher]

TJ, you are a godsend for these videos. 🤘

[@AlbertRamosArt]

Again! Awesome series. Thanks so much. I feel less intimidated to tackle my first bike.

[@demra3039]

„I just use spit…it dryes out“ I had to laugh so much at that point. Really cool video series btw. Will have more confidence when I’ll be doing mine.

[@MarkoftheMouse]

Awesome vid! Did not know about the direction of the holes in the slide until this! Would you be able to do a video on how to check the timing? Every mechanic I went to couldn’t do it.

[@joef.3094]

thanks for doing this. i already had a good handle on these carbs but i definitely learned a couple of things here. good job.

Thank you sir your awesome 😎

You are!

Excellent, detailed carb rebuild video. I´ve learned alot!!. Hey, can you do a video on bent butterflies replacement. Thanks a million from Shadow rider, Bahamas!!

[@Proj3ctLife]

I was able to take apart and clean my carburetor like a pro because of this video but I want to check what ports to plug off because I have an 03 Shadow Ace 750 California model but I want to say my carburetor looks EXACTLY like this one so Im a little confused. My carb rebuild kit from you is due to arrive today but I cleaned all my jets and everything anyway just to save them. Thank you for these videos

Great stuff that really made it look easy I'll be! Getting a kit from you keep up the good work

Any chance possible to get a video on the bit you can remove from an 1100 dual carb? Or is it the same as the 600 dual carb. I know this is an older video but I just ordered some stacks and carb kit for the 1100. Thanks for all you do 🫡

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

No longer have an 1100 here to do that, sorry! You'll figure it out

Would one shim under the needle be good enough, what do you reckon?

[@Cain532.]

Howdy!!! I got a VT750CDD, California emissions BS.... Do you have a guide to show which vents on the Carb I can block? I deleted the EVAP system from the bike and now rebuilding the Carb. (Sadly not with one of your kits, I only just found your channel...)

[@mrbcfaithriders]

So I have what appears to be a double vacuum line coming out of the top of the carb, but I'm not sure where they go??? the exploded view calls them "air tubes"

[@stephencheramie3169]

Same question. The hose connected to plastic barb was chewed in half and only 2 inches long. I never found the rest of the hose. On 2003 VT1100C2

[@WelcometoplanetMF]

Are there supposed to be jets left with your jet kits?

[@IAMBATMANPLAYS]

Hey man. Can you make a video of putting the carbs back on the bike. I have a hose that I cannot figure out how to route it back to the gas take. Or do you have a good reference tool?

[@LucasBohne-y8j]

Whats up fellas I bought the velocity stacks, the performence kit for duel carps and the straight open pipe draft exauhst for my 1998 honda shadow vt750 ( parts fit all on my model). I put everything in and started it up. I ran very good, great power output and no problems for two days. I parked my shadow after a 70 km ride down to a campsite for tow days without starting it and when i started it the next time the power output was shit. Still rideable but copared to before very bad performance. It takes a good while to get some speed. I checked very much stuff already but i run out of ideas. I thought maybe there is somewhere a leak where air comes i but the carb boots are new and well sealed. The exauhstgaskets are fine. The carbs seam fine aswell. Petcock is clean, fuelfilter is clean. I (double-)checked very much stuff and run out of ideas ( Sparkplugs, different settings for airfuel- mixture, the new jets aswell even if i cleant the carbs and other stuff.Does anyone had a similar problem and can help me ? Please give me some idea's guys, its my first bike and i learn all the stuff on my own and wont give up till its fixed. I am good with mechanics just to point out that i dont fucked stuff up while rebuilding the carbs and like i said, i checked that trwice to made shure everything is fine there. I count on u lad's and on the tjbrutalcustoms-Team aswell. Thanks guys! Lucas

[@hibikikari1]

Friend is awesome this !!!, i from Mexico currently i have a vlx 600 mod 93, the thing is that the last mechanic broke the carburetor, i think that is the same model that you show in your video, anyway, here in Mexico i have not find the double carburetor for my vlx, do you have one to sell me? Or do you know a site or place when i can find it?

[@venjhammet]

Single carb it. There are lots of Honda Shadow/Steed that are being made into single carb. I have a Honda Steed 400, pretty similar to shadow. Improvise manifold with a 32mm carb. Works like a charm

[@adamc4155]

Size of the fuel line that you used to replace the old dry fuel line? I finished my build and went great! Now leaking gas from the T and fuel line under the carb 🥲

Any suggestions. Thanks

Hey man how’s it going. So I just bought a 2003 Honda shadow 750 ACE and I have been doing a little research on it which I Gotta say is pretty bad ass. And I came across your videos then quickly after subscribed. So I’ve checked out your website and I can see that you can buy rebuild performance kits but I was wondering if you would sell me a carburetter with the performance kit already installed in the carburetor?

[@Sertao2013]

So the only filter is the screen under the stacks ? During a hard rain wouldn't water get into the carburetor ? I can't see how this would be good for the carbs at all especially is you have to travel on a dirt road or even a gravel road for any distance . Does anyone make a short regular filter that would fit over the air intake ? I have a 1998 with the twin carbs and I was told by a honda mechanic that gravity fed gas from the tank on a twin carb would not work . He said it would bog down and run like it was running out of gas . Is that True ? The reason I'm asking is for some reason I have a fuel pump under the seat and I think its going bad . The line outlet on the tank is higher than the inlet of the T on the carb and there is enough room to put a small filter and a line from the tank to the carb . Have you ever tried running a 600 cc with the twin carbs with out the fuel pump and only gravity fed ?

[@jimbeam9977]

@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS I have a few questions that have to do with some vacuum plugs/air system on my bike as I try to jet and rebuild the carbs and install a velocity stack(2004 Aero single carb, open backdraft exhaust). I recently installed your PAIR block off plates and removed that whole system. I have 2 hoses that run into a T from the carb that then went into the pair system, can I just plug them off at the carb? I also have a hose running from the float bowl for venting, do you just leave that completely open with no hose? it currently runs to a T then goes to atmosphere right by the carb and the back of the bike. Last question is what do I do with the large hose that ran from the top of the back cylinder that used to go to the old airbox tear drop filter?
