In part 4 I complete the liner for the fuel tank, and overcome a problem with the tank vent circuit. More videos to come! Next, I'll start cleaning the carbs....all 6 of 'em! Thanks for watchin'!
Truly easyest vidio to follow.because of you it makes it possible to fix our own bikes, and save big bucks.most importantly to do a good job . Thankd DRay.
I can't tell you how happy i am to have found your videos! I'm young, (18) and i bought my first bike (1978 cb750) for 750 dollars. I bought it to learn on it as a project bike. It starts but sometimes had trouble idling. sometimes it would shut off. So i went ahead and cleaned the carbs as best as i could but didn't really know how to clean the gas tank. My friend suggested the cheap apple cider vinegar way but that didn't really work. So i was looking for a good kit or way to clean the tank out. Thought of metal rescue at first but then came across your videos which changed my mind into ordering Kreem. Thank you for uploading these videos. BTW your step by step videos are probably the best i have ever viewed on RU-vid. You thoroughly explain everything and give good tips in detail as well. Thank you so much! :)
Started cleaning / refitting the 6 carbs on my 97 Valk this afternoon. Carbs are now sitting on my work bench. Came in for supper and rewatched Parts 1,2,3 for motivation. Thanks for making the huge effort to put your expertise out there. Your videos are excellent.
I live in Bartlesville, OK and now I know where I'm taking my 2003 Valk to be worked on. Had a problem with low speed missing. Took it to local dealer and they said it was a frozen piston ring. After their failed attempt to fix, I decided to give it a try. Felt almost sure it was a carb issue. Second carb I checked had a broken diaphragm spring. Fixed it for $6 and runs like a dream.
I apologize in advance, in case my dad tracks you down and picks a fight because I'm totally gonna get his run down Valkyrie running and ride the hell out if it after watching all your videos!
Very much appreciate the detail and explanation of every step in your videos! I got me a 97 valkyrie 1500, but the tank was rusted to shit. I'm halfway through the process now, I'll give you an update on how it worked out and what I learned. Again, thank you! Addendum: what, if any, additional steps would you recommend if it appears someone had already tried to line this tank before? I see some liner in there, but it clearly wasn't done well.
Hello and thanks for this videos. I nust purchased '99 valkyrie that was sitting in a garage for over 6 month. I only able to accelerate by pulling on the accelerator about a 1/4 range ay the time and wait to the speed ro build up. If i try to remp up the speed thw bike motor sound like is not going anywhere. Where sure i focused my investigation?
How do you plan to plug the vent line that's still open on the bottom of the tank? It wasn't addressed in the video. Yes... you're installing a new vented gas cap... but the vent line that broke off inside the tank is still an issue.
super nice job. thanks for sharing. I want to be your friend, that how you come across. I feel like I can trust you. I feel the same way about donyboy73. Very complete videos, lacking nothing. He is the small engine specialist. good job! D-Ray
