Honda Rubicon Carburetor Cleaning

[@TheSirChicken]

Great through explanation of how to clean a carb. Best video I have found so far! Keep up the good work.

[@TheFilthymic]

Thanks for the video. Helped me clean the carb on my 2005 Rubicon. Almost identical disassemble and reassemble.

[@BGilly-ub4ji]

I was intimidated to tackle this job, but followed along with your video and 03 foreman is running great! Thank you!

[@ToyShopRestorations]

Thank you! I’m glad I could help!

[@michaelkuzmadutton7879]

I love your sandblasting method, I've never heard of that before and it looks like it worked quite well, very nice video keep up the good work!

[@njkay0033]

Great concise and easy to understand vid.

[@ToyShopRestorations]

Thank you!

[@snikerbater]

Good job explaining, made it simple.

[@williamscore5322]

Thank you, your video made the difference. Made a big job for me very manageable.

It's called the "Emulsion tube" @ 8:28. And you NEVER use carb and choke cleaner on the rubber tip of the inlet needle (aka float valve), or any rubber o-rings, and do NOT use it on the diaphragm @ 29:40.

[@ToyShopRestorations]

Thank you for that. What would you recommend to use on rubber parts that are dirty? I agree it’s not the best for the rubber but it’s never been a cause of failure for me so I’ve never looked for an alternative.

[@adamfuller4117]

@@ToyShopRestorations I use WD40 for cleaning rubber parts.

[@sim7409]

cleaned mine,it fired right up on choke,but i noticed the primer plunger leaking...kinda wish i hadn't disturbed it

[@ToyShopRestorations]

Did you notice the rubber being ripped? You might be able to put the tinyest amount of gasketmaker on it to help it seal but definitely let it dry before putting fuel to it

[@sim7409]

how musclebound to get with the 7mm jet? mine got tight rather quick but i forced til i cldnt turn anymore

[@ToyShopRestorations]

Nothing on or in the carb should go in that tight 😅 and you just lightly but firmly snug stuff up. They’re just brass which is soft.

Question I own a 2012 Honda foreman w/carburetor may I good idea install a plastic fuel filter between the tank and the carburetor? Thank you in advance

[@ToyShopRestorations]

I don’t think that would hurt it at all! Might give you a little peace of mind too!

[@sim7409]

shld the main jet be opened strait thru?

[@ToyShopRestorations]

Yup!

[@mojorising3147]

A good sonic cleaning with mean green I hear is great

[@callumhepworth-smith6376]

beautifully explain.... really clear and concise, well done

[@ToyShopRestorations]

Thank you! It takes a lot of time to put a video together. I’m glad it could help!

[@sim7409]

no one likes a dirty tip😮

[@chipmcvay3510]

Please for the love of all things just buy a 10 dollar carb kit. You can never get parts as clean as new parts.

[@ToyShopRestorations]

I find carb kits kind of hit or miss. I prefer oem over an aftermarket when it comes to carb parts. But that’s just my preference

[@mikeoxlong5906]

Oh brother!! Don't listen to this guy people, he does NOT know how to properly clean a carb!!

[@ToyShopRestorations]

Do you have any tips?

[@TristanBanwell]

@@ToyShopRestorations I checked out Mike Oxlong on KZbin and it says "This channel doesn't have any content"... Thanks for the video, helped me reassemble my carb properly.
