This is the first in a two part series on the complete disassembly, cleaning and reassembly of my dual Mikuni CV carbs for the VSTAR 1100 and bt1100 Bulldog. It goes into much much much detail.
Note that after spending the same day on the Delorean AC I said a part was an 'orifice tube' and not emulsion tube.
Further note that canned air was used in the example. I would never do a final cleaning with canned air. I use real air pressure from a compressor at much higher pressures. The canned air is only a prop.
Leak testing is important, you will notice the jig. Notice the jig....

These videos you posted are the reason why I decided to do it myself!! Thank you very much for taking the time!.. My 1100 Silverado wouldn't stay idle and would stall. I called the shop and got the cost of service....I asked them how much to do the valve adjustment since the carburetor would be off...the quoted $350!!! I thought that was absurd! and said FU to that and searched for videos on RU-vid and behold!...my make and model too!...a blessing...I have a shed to do this in, currently have one side apart, what a mess!! its still so cold out here in Mass. so I go out there when I can...it helps me take my time...like you said. So far the #1 elbow tube to carb full of gas and 2 of 3 jets clogged! I'm surprised it even started...I used to work on cars back in the day when you could pop the hood and actually see the motor...that was 20 years ago..so I lacked confidence in my ability to even work on this motorcycle...but thanks to you...I'm in it to win it! Total savings will be at least $1500...It will just cost me time...I'm fine with that...Thanks again!

Im glad you found the video helpful and were able to get it done without being taken to the cleaners. Remember if you are doing the valves in N.E. in the winter in a shed, expect that the lash will not be the same when its 70 degrees warmer some summer.

Thank you a million times over for sharing this video. I just tackled the carbs on a bike that I picked up earlier in the week. The bike had been sitting in the previous owners garage for a couple of years and the carbs, fuel filter and gas tank were all full of old orangy looking gas. This is my first time rebuilding a carburetor, I think I referred back to your video about 4 or 5 times during the job just to make sure I was cleaning everything correctly. Now the bike runs beautifully so I can't thank you enough for this helpful guide.

Thank You. I was able to do it myself. You helped save me money! If it is possible to make a mistake - I will make it. The small main jet has a brass washer and did not catch that on video but after review I saw you pull it off so then I knew where it went. Also the bowl float metal pin needs to be pushed down with thumb to seat it properly. I missed that and had to pull the carbs off and correct due to gas leak in back carb. Lastly the Air boots on stock air box must be installed in order of number 1 boot goes on front left side and the number 2 boot goes on rear right side. Your video had them reversed which probably won't make a difference on pods but is a world of difference on stock air box - won't fit any other way. Great video and bike now runs great - No backfiring and starts right up. Tried the chemical fuel cleaner too and was a waste of time - as the carbs were filthy inside and out! Highly recommend the air boots get diligently hooked up. Almost right will not cut it. B.D.
@retrotechandelectronics
@retrotechandelectronics 5 лет назад
Hello, glad I was able to help. It possible my boots are on backwards. I may have made mention that from the carbs up my setup is non standard due to the pod kit. The swapping of the boots, a result of testing which setup would canter the pods appropriately turned out to be the best fit and left like that. Its been so long since ive seen an 1100 airbox. Next time I work on an 1100 carb ill go deeper in to TPS and drop one into an ultrasonic tank on video.

The o-ring around the float needle assembly on both had no resistance when I pulled them out... they were just sitting in there!!! When I went into the carbs, I too found that fuel was leaking around the needle valves. Thank you for helping me solve my carburetor woes!!!

Has one single issue that I cannot for the life of me figure out: If I ride my bike for over 20 mins on the hwy, and then park it and start it up again 5 - 10 minutes later, I get a loud pop coming from the engine. Happens right at the moment of startup. Have not started the carb cleaning process yet but wanted to reach out to you on what you think may be the issue. 2003 vstar 1100. 30k miles.

OH MY GAWD! I have watched these amazing videos many, MANY times! I have also failed to acomplish this task many MANY times! No matter what I do (including most recently have a professional mechanic check my work and find no reason for failure) I can NOT get these carbs to operate without flooding! I even replaced the fuel pump as recommended by a Yamaha mechanic who said that the pressure regulators often fail and they continue to pump fuel. I have reworked these carbs 4 times, and the result is always the same: bike starts, gas pours from both carburetor vents. I sure wish I could $end them to you! I'm ready to torch the thing. Any advice I could share with these so called "mechanics"? THANKS SO MUCH! YOU DO GREAT THINGS!!

Your video is so very thorough; well done! Thanks to your video, taking out the carbs was easy work on my newly-purchased 2007 V-Star 1100. Would you please offer suggestions for two issues I have with the carbs: (1) The screws on the float bowl covers will not unscrew despite using my best phillips-head screwdriver that is very good at getting stuck screws loose; (2) there was roughly a teaspoon amount of (slow-flowing) liquid puddled in the large air tube (marked no. 1) that connects the cylinder to the carb. Note: the bike idles great, but does backfire and miss upon giving it throttle just off idle (similar to the 650 in your other carb cleaning video). Thank you for your help!
@retrotechandelectronics
@retrotechandelectronics 6 лет назад
1. You can clamp down on them with small vice grips to break the tension. or cut a flat in the middle for a flat head, then replace them with hex from ace hardware. 2. You probably use too much oil.... Its getting sucked into the carb from the breather. Note: Pilot jet clogged...
@nickvontroba2180
@nickvontroba2180 6 лет назад
Thanks, again, for your advice: Long-nose, narrow vice grips broke the screws' tension. I bought six M4-0.70 x 10 and two M4-0.70 x 12 socket-head screws to replace the original float bowl phillips-head screws. Note: the longer (12) screws are used where the screw also fastens the extra thickness of a bracket or clip. My next challenge: to find and purchase gaskets for the needle jet, because each needle jet had two rubber rings that were hard and cracked apart when I removed them. Thanks for the videos!

❤️First, thank you so much for the video. Question, what can be the issue if my carbs squirt fuel into the intake boot upon turning ignition on before starting, mainly cylinder 2, and running somewhat smooth, but with acceleration it will flood and run bad? I cleaned them without replacing anything except the gasket in the sleeve at the floater cone. The one you replaced and showed in the inserted clip. Can only the fuel inlet be the problem or can it be the enricher? I didn't disassemble that.

There is no part that isn't necessary. No company would waste money on an unnecessary part and save millions of dollars over the run of the model.

Hi, Thank you this video is really helpful. I have a question if you might ever have time to answer. I was working on the same carburetor while following the video, and I should have taken the screw stripping advice a bit more seriously. While I was working on a stripped screw I slipped and destroyed one of my carburetor caps. I'm wondering if you know of a way to get a new one. I looked through multiple parts websites and none have the part. Maybe there is a carburetor similar to this one which you can buy the part and make it work or something. Looking for any advice if you have any.

What cap, do you mean the cap on top that holds the diaphragm for the main jet and spring, if so your yamaha deal has them.
@yaboifizzfresh
@yaboifizzfresh 5 лет назад
Yes that's the part. I live in Hawaii, I called the dealer on my island already so I guess i'll try the other islands to see what they say. I glued it back together though and it seems to line up ok. Do you think its a big problem if its not fully sealed or if I seal it some other way? It's just a dust guard right?

@retrotechandelectronics
@retrotechandelectronics 6 лет назад
Greetings, The original screws are terrible and easily stripped if a fitted driver isnt used. Even then, the soft metal can go stripped on the head. There are two solutions used to fix this, though the screw will need to be replaced afterwards. I use hex as you see for replacement. 1. Use a dremel to cut a shallow groove in the screw and turn it out with a flathead 2. use very small vice grips to clamp down on the screw sideways and break the tension. then turn it out with a regulat driver. I hope this helps.

AIS is only marginally acceptable for stock pipes at best and will rust out after about 5 years or so. Ive removed mine long ago. My pipes have added provisions for lambda sensors that I hook to a computer which records my ratio under all conditions and I review it on my computer making jet and needle changes accordingly
