In this fifth part in our video diary of the recommissioning work that we're doing on our 1997 Yamaha XV535 Virago project bike, we clean the carburetors. Unfortunately, we're not the first people to have been in these carbs, so there was a little more to do than we expected. We had to also remedy someone else's poor work.
A view kindly pointed out that we did not remove and clean the air mixture screws. We appear to have missed this from our video. Please do not forget to do this.

Thanks for feedback. Glad you found it useful.

Thanks. Great video. I’m going to go do this now!

@MotorcycleFettlers 11 месяцев назад

Take a look at our Take II video. It’s so much easier if you don’t need to take the carbs off. Let us know how you get on!

My Virago new 26 year old virago was running awful. The diaphrams in both had disconnected from the cylinder that houses the needle!! New ones in now and she runs a dream🎉

@MotorcycleFettlers Год назад

Following our insitu carbutetor clean, we had a ride out to see how she was performing. It was a bit of a mixed bag. We'll be posting that video shortly. We've now ordered some carbutetor repair kits for a full off-bike clean and repair. We had no issues with the diaphragms but there were some small holes in the air cut off valves; which are also small diphragms. We shall also be posting this update video, shortly.

How do you get the other carb cover off?? The fuel line is in the way

@MotorcycleFettlers 4 месяца назад

I'm not quite sure I understand the issue. Could you provide a little more detail? Feel free to send a photo to motorcyclefettlers@gmail.com if that may help.

What about the air mixture screw? Why didn't you take it out and clean it?

@MotorcycleFettlers 10 месяцев назад

Very good spot. We did do the air mixture screws but failed to show this on the video. I will pin a comment to say that it needs to be done. Thanks, for spotting this.

Those cables that are connected above the carbs, what are they for? I bought a virago and it came with those cables disconnected I’m not sure what was connected before

@MotorcycleFettlers 12 дней назад

I think you're looking atthe carb heaters.

@Captain-gs4xv 12 дней назад

The time stamp at 3:52 shows it, it’s the white connectors above the carbs. Is that the heater ? Are they important ?

@MotorcycleFettlers 11 дней назад

If it's electrical and it's attached to the carb, then it's the heater. I don't recall if the heaters on ours, worked. From my experience and, anecdotally, then don’t make a huge difference. I had a broken one on a Kawasaki Zephyr and could not find a replacement on eBay. I guess, if you’re have trouble starting it, then try and find some replacements. That said, it’s an old bike so is likely to not always start on the button, anyway…

5:59 what brand is the spray cleaner you use?

@MotorcycleFettlers 5 месяцев назад

We don't use any brand in particular. We just use whatever's available.

Uh as it happens my virago wont start ! Charged battery. Replaced spark plug, but there is nothing 😢 ignition on, usual buzzing and thats that. No revs nothing 😢 any suggestion if cleaning carbs will help? Or where should l look ?

@MotorcycleFettlers 12 дней назад

I think there's lots of possibilities. I'd first try to establish if it is electrical or fuel. Have you tested to see if there plugs are sparking? You could try some easy start to see if it will fire on that, which may indicate a fuelling issue. On an old bike, there's a good chance that the carbs will need some level of cleaning.

@PaoReno 12 дней назад

@@MotorcycleFettlers good stuff my garage also mentioned carbs. So thats a good shout. Getting new battery anyway. Will test again tomorrow 🤞🏼 thanks for the reply. Your videos are super helpful 👍🏼

You can mostly service the carbs in-situ. We had to take ours off as we needed to replace the small diaphragms. They are a nightmare to take off and put back on…hopefully you can sort your problem without having to remove them.
