Honda Shadow VT1100 Carb Install after General Maintenance

[@carloscameselle8594]

Thank you for your videos! you just save me $500. I was gonna take the bike to the shop tomorrow! but with your video now I can do it my self! Thank you again!

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Glad I could Help!

[@jefffrayer8238]

Wow, I'm impressed. Someone took the time teaching you how to be a great mechanic and you continued to perfect your skills. I don't see anything in your skills to improve doing this project. There's not many I would trust to work on my bikes but I certainly would let you as I sit back with a cup of coffee. I have a 2006 1100 Shadow, low mileage, stock that is fun to ride. BUT I also love the 1999 Heritage and 2002 Road King. Nothing like keeping the older carb bikes running trouble free. Great job on the video too. Keep on doing great videos to help others learn how to be great mechanics.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Thanks much, appreciate the feedback.

[@joshl2733]

Could you do a video of what to do to sync the carbs/ tune them after doing a bigger stage jet?

[@boshtalk7724]

Great video, but gotta say you're super lucky at 3:45 to just wiggle that carb back on those boots. Getting that back on can be 3 hours of a 3.5 hour job. If anyone (like me can't just slide those on) better than lubing up the boots with gun-oil is a heat gun. Position your carbs...heat each side up a bit....then wiggle them in.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

I would never use heat, thats asking for an air leak down the road.

[@KennyHaggard-b5k]

Hey brother great video but quick question after you installed the fuel line and you connected the line in the middle with the of crooked line adaptor what does that hose go to?

[@michal4593]

I have that EXACT bike. 2002 VT1100C2. Same paint, same flames. Minus the seat modification and rear fender delete.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

It was a popular design released around that time.

[@ramonchavez6440]

Used your videos to clean my carburetor So thank you! I had a question, what is that white tank you connected last. Mine seems to be thick gunky dark mustard colored inside but don’t know if I should flush it out and clean it or if that is normal ?

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Thats part of the coolant system, maybe its time for a flush.

[@owen8915]

Great video! I have a 2004 Sabre 1100 and I am trying to figure out how to do a carb clean. Are the carbs on a 2004 sabre the same as the carbs on a 2002 sabre? Thanks.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

I would think they would have little to no difference, consult with others on forums though.

[@owen8915]

@@retrotechandelectronics will do, thanks

[@mattthemotoguy1947]

They are not different. The only difference in any of the 1100 carbs (of any year) is the PAIR secondary air system being added in 2005. They are all part of the same series of vd mikuni carbs.

[@ryanmorgan5238]

@@mattthemotoguy1947 so not all 1100s have the sub air box cleaner

[@anjamesonusn]

Do you have a link to the carb tuning?

[@nekron71]

Привет! Вы не подскажете на сколько оборотов выкручивать первичный винт на карбюраторе? Honda Shadow 1100 Spirit 2007 Спасибо.

[@andrewlowy4027]

@7:45 what is this part?

[@migueldelaguira8421]

I have a 07 11000 shadow Sabre 👀with 19000 miles, how often you have rebuilt the carburetor???

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Its not based on mileage, its as often as needed.

[@dontheplumber9338]

You da man!

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Thanks.

[@lancianotransportllc2065]

What about the vent lines?

[@skottlee8959]

What is the piece at 7:37 called?

[@jonathangill9081]

Do we have the link to where you purchased your carb rebuild kit?

[@retrotechandelectronics]

I dont remember, you can google it.

[@nathanleeseberg8235]

What does that hose connect too at 9:43? Thanks

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Exactly what it says it connect to at 9:47

[@elliotcourtney8818]

Where does it come from?

[@masonwerner5293]

Did you happen to figure it out where it went to? Im having trouble with that right now its disconnected on the other sidr

[@michaelgonzalez670]

Same question here, a friend did the carb clean and now it’s throwing fuel out of the hose that connects to that Y on 9:43

[@noahlavignemusic]

Where does it gooo

[@ecapproved4225]

Did ya ever get it to idle on both cylinders?

[@retrotechandelectronics]

I did. Once the exhaust was added, It could be properly setup/.

[@cri8tor]

What did you use to clean the choke needles?

[@retrotechandelectronics]

I use MAAS also to clean any brass parts like this

[@BERGMANNCHR1]

Hey, these videos on the Sabre carb clean have been invaluable to me. Thank you! I'm doing the kerosene soak as we speak. I have a quick question, was there a fuel filter screen on the petcock when you removed it? Unless it's still stuck in the tank, I don't see one on mine?

[@retrotechandelectronics]

What we had is what you saw. Id encourage you to look online at the parts catalog as these items can change year to year. That said, a fuel filter in-line upstream is always an easy fix.

[@michaeljarchibald7417]

Rem Oil ! Got it !

[@retrotechandelectronics]

yup...

[@ashtons7194]

Can anyone tell me what the boot is called for the upper manifold 11:23 in video im having a hell of a time getting it to seal

[@rfphill]

Dude, absolute madness! How long did it take before you finally got it?

[@feellnfroggy]

The can over for an easier pour opening on top

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Huh????? what

[@feellnfroggy]

@@retrotechandelectronics I don’t know what happened there.turn the can over, where the opening is on the high side while pouring, it’ll be less prone to spills.

[@enriquecordero151]

Buenas tardes, me agrege a tu canal amigo, suena un botador o cadena de mi moto vt1100c3 como consigo kit, u/ o pajina de venta, y envio
