He is Alive! / Starting my First Build on my Birthday / Episode 34

[@79SctDriver]

You can see how happy he is he fixed the carb for you. I love seeing kindness in people. Give that man an award! Well done ❤

[@dominicfazio2793]

Another simple way to check if your float needle is working is to drain the fuel out . Hold your carb upside down and blow into the fuel line . You should not be able to blow air through if the needles are working properly. We use to do this with are dirt bike carbs all the time when we were kids .

[@tommylitchfield3450]

My guess is that you need to raise those needles up at least one clip position. They were in the full lean position with the stock airbox and stock exhaust. Jonesy needs more fuel for that extra air. At least you got to hear him run on your birthday :)

[@chadr9791]

What a great surprise to get a early Thursday evening video,,, and how frustrating was that .....,,,that brought back memories of the excite same problem from the 70s with my CB 750 ,,but all will be wonderful in the end with Jonesy Bikers or not

[@audsstuff5940]

What a great video, it was rewarding to see the level of complicity between you and Simon when trying to get jonesy's heart beating. You two have a real on screen platonic chemistry. If Phil and Holly get the sack over queuegate ITV could do a lot worse than think about the both of you as replacements. Also 22.08 has to be the finest Nookie Bear impression I've ever seen.

[@lylemacdonald6672]

Your first build is inspiring and has motivated me to get off my butt and tackle the 83 BMW R100 I have had in pieces spread around my garage for the last 20 years. 🇨🇦

[@tomboyabit]

😃 That’s just perfect! Thank you for sharing. That is worth every single minute spend making those videos. As you know I often tempted just to do stuff off camera. Without thinking about filming..

[@FK61YT]

Hi,happy late birthday ..very glad to hear engine sound finally.)

[@tonykeast9966]

Aw mate I'm so chuffed to see and hear that!! Everybody mucking in during your birthday bash to get Jonesy fired up was awesome to see... Special day for such a cool bird who thoroughly deserves it. Nearly there Deimantė 😎👍🥇🙌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@tomboyabit]

Thank you my adviser from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@605pilot]

Beautiful Honda 750.

[@MaxBrauns]

Its all about the bonding and the journey!!! Nothing more rewarding and no better way to fall in love with your bike than nursing it back to life with your own hands 👏♥! Jonesy will love you back even more for it! Cant wait to see him on the road.

[@twowheelrodeo]

Bench set the carb, those flaps all adjusted before integration open and close with a snap.

[@Rickd-jh7iw]

If I remember correctly, you installed the needles with the clips in the top groove (leanest position). Try starting with them in the middle position.

[@kelseyhunnie5889]

🎂Happy birthday🎂can tell you had an awesome day 💫

[@Keutain]

Happy birthday too^^ (sorry I'm late...) What a sond!! It's so noisy I LOOOVE it 🥰😎👍

[@grahamhiggins1]

The MAGIC of carbs! My dad has the original Fireblade which will come my way one day, and I slightly dread having to look after the carbs!

[@tomboyabit]

That’s why I wanted to be involved in doing them. To know how to fix them after 😅

[@pwdb1968]

What a great looking flag.

[@hodaka1000]

Happy birthday Beautiful

[@lylemacdonald6672]

You are teasing us! Get this bad boy snarling and roaring!!

[@tomboyabit]

I’m not. It’s Jonesy teasing anyone. Or you want one of those videos where it all happens smoothly in one 10 minutes episode? Then I’ll have to cut off all the party and fun of it and that will not be real. That will not be like I see it.

[@lylemacdonald6672]

@@tomboyabit Would never a shorter episode! Longer one yes. Really looking forward to seeing running down the road on Jonsey.

[@bildergilder]

Happy late birthday and Jonsey looks so good. Your so close to accomplishing your build and it looks splendid, good job!!

[@tomboyabit]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@mrsmith4662]

These carbs look like the same type as my CBX 1000 bike I once had. Such was my infrequent use of the beast, that when started up it would spill fuel profusely due to sticking float business. What a pain taking them off, apart and back on again.

[@Dustmonkeycreations]

Nearly there girl, 👍🏼👍🏼 fantastic job 👍🏼

[@roadtherapy996]

Beautiful.

[@barryvercueil2346]

Bike sounds incredible

[@manuelvonmeinermutter7998]

Great Job,very nice Look 👌🏻👊🏻

[@eugenewall6620]

Belated Happy Birthday. Jonesy sounds mean when running.

[@tomboyabit]

😍🙏🏻❤️💎

[@brunosaponejr.5377]

Oh my god 😂-still laughing. Pesky # 2 & 4 and love the names you gave them. You all work so well together. Such a joy to watch you especially now after this horrible hurricane here in FL. Thank you!!!

[@tomboyabit]

I hope you are safe 🙏🏻

[@brunosaponejr.5377]

@@tomboyabit Thank you so much!☺️

[@daveco1270]

I was in the middle of writing a comment to check the brass overflow tubes for cracks... then we found out that was the problem. ( I guess Ive learned some stuff watching motorcycle maintenance and repair videos.)

[@davelee9527]

Fab video n hoping you had an amazing Birthday 🎂 🥳 😍😍

[@pwdb1968]

Gotta say Jonesy is a really good build(just like its owner).

[@chukhentcy5642]

Those carbs are almost as pretty as You! ...Almost👍😁

[@charlesemerson6763]

Well what a change. Mixture didn't sound right and the carbs will need vacuum balancing so that the slides all open together. And lordy first time we've seen you in a dress . Kinda thought you were born wearing jeans😊😊 Best of luck with the next part.

[@CustomGarageAlsace]

OMG 🎉the first sounds. 💪

[@tomboyabit]

😊😊😊

[@Craigravon]

That carb guy man what a legend 👏 🤘🤘

[@tomboyabit]

Agree 👌

[@Turbofab]

Glad to see it was those pesky tubes, it was only going to be 1 of 3 things causing overflow issues, Sounds to me like the jets are too big, did you take note of the jet sizes that is in there? I think if you come down 2 sizes on the main jets it will probably sort him 👍

[@pascalbalzer7206]

Hi nice Video cool and nice day and good trip 😉 👍 💯 🏍 😉

[@jovicbeltran6527]

Happy Birthday to you =)

[@mikep.9371]

It was a Happy Birthday for you. Cannot wait till the small glitches are eliminated. Was Jonsey firing on all four cylinders unlike before on less than four? Take care Deimante,stay safe 'n dry too ... plus looking fine in the new shop apparel!

[@leeparrish2526]

Happy birthday 🎈🎂

[@brentsmith5647]

Brilliant video thank u ❤👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jimbyrne9071]

Cool vid as always,your bike is alive!

[@tomboyabit]

🥳

[@toolma66]

Happy birthday 🎉 (a bit late, I know 😅) Carbs seems to be a bit fiddly to work on, I would never have the patience to do that! But Jonsey is just the first in a long row of projects, I hope? Can’t wait to see him finished!

[@tomboyabit]

Yes. A first one of a long long row..

[@88Frank]

My tube was cracked too and I took it apart and put it back 3 times before I realised!

[@tomboyabit]

It’s hard to notice if you don’t know what to look for

[@gerardmontgomery280]

I'm ridiculously excited to hear Jonesy going.

[@tomboyabit]

😃

[@benlundeen]

Great content....what song is playing from aroun 12:30-16:00ish? 🔥

[@maakatipa4613]

Ha ha ha ha, that's exactly what I would do. But being old and single, I can wash my petrol rags anywhere I like.

[@hughmac7423]

Almost.

[@jammydoughnut]

Lol, brilliant video, got me pmsl, watching that dude touch float heights, when the first thing to check is the float needle and the seat, to make sure its not blocked or has been worn. I wonder how he would fix my carb that leaks when it's on the sidestand but doesn't leak when I ride it 🤣🤣🤣

[@nikbarr1721]

the fun prt is balancing the buggers hee hee

[@tomboyabit]

😃

[@HOPPOVERSION1]

Do enjoy your videos though x

[@erikkirkner8136]

Yay! Congratulations. How do you feel?

[@tomboyabit]

To be honest with you I have mixed emotions about finishing Jonesy. I love this project so much for so many reasons, that I thing I deliberately postpone the day I'll ride away from Mint customs on him. Still have to set carbs and finish electrics. And honestly, can't wait to ride him!!

[@sluf1963]

That is absolutely , the best kind of fun , what a great birthday for you , I wish I could be there to meet Simon , the crew , share a coffee , a pint , or a biscuit , I said . . . B U I S C U I t .
