We do it so you don't have to! :)

sehr gut, auch ohne Worte lehrreich. very god. Thanks. more?

[@TheDementedMonkeys]

Thank you! I didn't have any other carbs to rebuild, sorry :)

Hey I have a 20mm vhbz on my 50cc benelli now it runs great at the top but won’t idle for some reason I have a 75 main jet and a 48 idle jet and a 60slide with a 1E needle

[@TheDementedMonkeys]

Raise the idle a little bit and see if it stays on. If it does either live with it or change the idle jet!

[@mr.whiskers6273]

@@TheDementedMonkeys how large may the idle jet be?

[@TheDementedMonkeys]

@@mr.whiskers6273 no idea, sorry. Without having the bike here it's almost impossible to guess! Jets are cheap though...

hello nice video, I have a vhb 27 mounted on a 2 stroke and it works, the only thing is that after a few days of inactivity it gets clogged and I have to disassemble and clean it. if you know the reason, thanks.

[@TheDementedMonkeys]

It's hard to say without having it here... perhaps try adding a fuel filter or change 2 stroke oil brand...

The float pin won’t come out for my carb.cannot push out, or pull. Any ideas?

[@TheDementedMonkeys]

Hammering it out could destroy the float, or the ruin the pin... so i'd try to hammer it out only after sourcing a new float and pin :)

[@jeffgbirch2793]

@@TheDementedMonkeys I think I can find a new float and pin.

I have purchase a re built one for my 1976 Harley ss 175. How often should I re build my carb.

[@TheDementedMonkeys]

There are no fixed intervals. Quality of fuel, amount of time spent sitting etc all play a role in a carb's wear pattern. As long as everything works as intended you're golden!

[@justinemrick5211]

What kit number do I need for this? I have a 1976 Moto Morini it hasn't been driven in a while, and both carbs could probably be rebuilt. They have Dellorto vhb25BS carbs.

[@TheDementedMonkeys]

Howdy. Try with this part number: 52510-77 or this one 525110077 but make sure to double, triple and quadruple check everything! If you can't find it just reply here and i'll figure something up to get you up and running again.

@@TheDementedMonkeys cool, I actually found those on eBay yesterday, and put a watch on them. Just glad I had the idea correct, LOL. Looks like I'll pick them up and probably tear into the bike here in the next couple months hopefully. I think it'll be a fun light resto project!

[@TheDementedMonkeys]

@@justinemrick5211 You'll have fun doing that restoration. Simple bike, few parts... cheap spares!

[@oneofmany1087]

is this the one for the 1973 ss 350?

[@TheDementedMonkeys]

I don't think so, the Aermacchi i worked on had a slightly different carb.

[@DrMcampbellDC]

Where did you get the kit to rebuild this carburetor?

[@TheDementedMonkeys]

I found it on ebay, local shops didn't want to place such a small order...

[@julianfranck6425]

What weight was the float?

[@TheDementedMonkeys]

I reckon they only sold one p/n for this carb. Balancing and adjusting the float would require a video of its own...
