I just picked up two 83 magnas one running and one not, I was worried about taking the carbs out but your videos being so detailed I think is really going to help me out! Keep up the good work!
as someone who rebuilt the carbs on my own 700 magna in the past year.yes, it is a royal pain in the ass to get it right.but when you do, its so worth it.i owned my magna since 07.& it has never ran as well as it does now.slight mods (slightly richer jetting & raising main jet needles) makes a world of difference from idle to 10500 rpm.i wish i wouldve done it in 07.
that problem with the choke flipping back....i have the same problem and there is just one way to put the cable in...let me now if you have the problem fixed please 😀
Hey Man, random question for you, not sure if youd remember but in your video of removing the carbs from this bike you had a spring that fell off. Where did that go? Thanks!
@@mcycleshawn It was just on my workbench when I separated the carbs but Its not obvious where it came from. It;s possible there is two very similar size but one looks newer and shiny so it may have been from something else. Where did yours belong?
🌎🌎🌎🌎♥️♥️♥️🍓🍓🐓🤪 I've wrestled with carb installs on a number of Honda Sabres and I just realized that the secret to replacing the carbs is to use new, pliable boots. I bought p a set Moto1988 boots from Amazon for $25, and there was no need for ratchet straps, a prybar, or a 2x4, to seat the carb assembly. I've always dreaded carb work on these VFs, but no longer, and this solution is so simple, when using soft pliable, new boots. Now, if I could find a reliable fuel pump, that lasts more than 6 months, my life would be complete.
That clear line that was kinked is for air so the fuel can be easily gravity fed into the lower part of the sub-tank. It would have fuel in it if the main tank has fuel as the air meeting the fuel would be at the point of where the fuel level is in in the main tank. If you notice it's connected to a line that follows under the main tank into the top of where fuel cap is in the main tank. It appears from viewing that it is fine. My bike also has another air line from the California emissions unit at the front of the engine into the fuel tank and it ends up towards the top of where the fuel cap is. That line is to capture fuel evaporation and is supposed to help the environment by some sort of carbon filter in that unit. Your choke works opposite from mine. Mine is off while up and on when it's down on the 1984 Honda Magna VF700C. I'm not sure why Honda reversed it but I have the stock choke and it's working for me.
