Good video kid but you give us a step by step of the easy stuff and fast forward through the disassembly of the carburetor 🤔

[@meowmix2126]

Why wouldn’t you focus your attention on the reason you posted this video? If someone is attempting to clean their carb then they should know how to get to it.

[@jramsey84]

He literally passes up the information you need this is more about how to get to a carb than how to clean..don't waste your time

[@garybutler4614]

Must have been awhile since you made this video you said a shop would charge 150 to do this! I checked they start at 120.00 an hour and you talking a 4 hour job !

Why did you fast forward through the rebuild part?

[@DelcoTrash]

$$$

[@Cherokee913]

He charges for the full video. Which is odd because there’s plenty of videos of this being done free of charge. Can’t knock the guy for it, but I can’t imagine he’s made too much off this method.

[@donwolfjr1]

This video is exactly what I was looking for and its fast forwarding through all the important stuff. SMH... Well... now I know why he fast forwarded all the important stuff in the video...its all about money with this guy apparently. For ONLY $25 bucks...lol. you PROBABLY get the regular speed video...Lol. Again...SMH... Nicely done...

[@AngelusFromHell]

Thanks for the very useful video! Soon I'll try to clean my carb thank to this video. P.S.= do you know the original measurements (lenght, diameter and twist) of the stock handlebar bolts?

[@kimgardner4464]

Not sure why one would complain that a guy wants to earn a bit from the work involved in putting together this type of helpful video. Matt's biggest mistake is not telling the audience at the beginning: "This video can be purchased for $14. It will provide guidance for taking the carb off the bike, but at ___ minutes, it will jump to 4 times the speed. If you want to get the regular speed version, please consider paying the $14. I am just trying to cover my cost of putting together these videos." or something like that. Basically, give us a heads-up so we do not expect something and get surprised.

[@HTMR]

Yes I started mentioning that in the first few seconds in newer vids

[@curliecardenas]

first of all, some useful information on this video thanks. But I clicked on this video to learn a little bit about the carburetor because my bike is doing the exact same thing. And after 12 minutes you fast forward over the best and most important part.. so thanks but not a useful video for me

[@HTMR]

This is a sample. Full video is available for purchase through link.

Thank you for mentioning the vacuum leak at the end of the video and the fix, my bike had the same problem and now, thanks to your video I'm back on the road. Your help earned you a like and a new subscriber.

[@bruceverdi2627]

Was the large tube on the carburetor that was called a vac tube actually the tube supplying the gasoline to the carb?

[@stefdedoria]

hello !just a litle question please , why when i change my air filter (for a K.N filter) on this bike (vulcan 800) i have many problems whith carburetor after :small explosion when i roll slowlly she is wrong and problem for accelerate .........but when i ride fast the problem seems disappears... .........so sorry for my horrible langage and my bad translation ..........but Im french!! ...arf!.

[@HTMR]

You introduced more airflow, and did not add any more fuel. So you are lean.

[@Deadheadfishing]

If you’re gonna charge a fee to see the most needed portion, say so at the beginning so we don’t waste 10 minutes watching you do the easy crap.

[@user-od7zz5uu3d]

You can turn petcock off, and drain the float bowls. However make sure to check oil and see if any fuel migrated there.

[@gosiamyrt8606]

What is the correct fuel level in the carburetor? In the service manual it says that + -2mm above the upper edge of the float chamber. But it cannot be set like this. The float height is 16.5 mm + -2mm and with this setting the fuel level is below the edge of the chamber float.

Hey do you know the exact float height for the carb?

hope of all the motorcycles that I've had I hated the Vulcan 800 carburetor the float needle with stick all the time I replaced it rebuilt it. Here it was found that the fuel hose that feeds the fuel to the carburetor float Bowl but breaking down and that's what was actually clogging the needle so I installed a filter in line with the fuel hose

[@spelunkerd]

If the bike was stored with the petcock in the on or reserve position, then if you flooded the exhaust with fuel, the petcock must also be bad....

[@brett7794]

What would be the measures to take after this has happening? The bike is bogging then coming out to almost full power it was stored for 3 years two of which had non ethanol gas in it in the on position. Thanks

[@spelunkerd]

@@brett7794 Carb cleaning and replacement with new fuel and a new fuel filter is simple and easy, though you may need a seal and gasket kit. Automatic petcocks, with a vacuum hose leading to the petcock (and no off position), should not leak at all with engine off when the petcock is left in the on or reserve position. You'll know when you remove the tank with fuel in it. The tank will keep dribbling out the petcock. Without tearing the bike down you won't recognize a leaking petcock unless the carb bowl needle is leaking, too. If the petcock leaks, the option is to clean the petcock, with or without a seal kit, or replace it. All of these are bread and butter jobs at a pro shop, they don't usually cost much and results should be better than amateur tinkering.

[@brett7794]

Thank you for you knowledge and time brother 👍 the shop near me gave a quote for 350-400 for a carb clean on my 02 Vulcan 800 that's why I was gonna do it myself but I'll probably mess something up

Hey, I have a 800 classic and had the fuel take painted and they painted the peacock and now the fuel in leaking thought the carb and exhaust I drained the carb and it looks like pink water so I think I have some paint residue in the carb, so what is the easiest way to clean /flush that out do I have to remove the carb to do that? Thanks for any advice, great videos ...

[@HTMR]

+TIM HAYES Check the inside of tank for overspray (and water from wetsanding). I've had good luck using brake fluid to get rid of overspray...just be careful not to get it on new paint! Then flush your lines and tear your carb apart and clean it as well. I'd replace the float needle as this model seems to get stuck float more than others. Change oil also, the fuel definitely made into the crankcase as well.
