The goal of this video is to be an ASMR-ish relaxing video. I don't really do ASMR videos so I don't have the microphones and other gear for it to be a true full-fledged ASMR video (also I'm not a cute girl willing to flaunt her cleavage which seems to be an ASMR requirement too). But I think it will definitely be relaxing for someone who's into mechanical things, rebuilding them and the like. I mean I did this and I found it relaxing to watch the video afterwards. There's no talking. There's no music. Just a guy rebuilding carburetors.
A few important notes to consider. This video does not show the full process of what I did. I didn't show the removal of the jet needle collars and I didn't show me soda blasting the carburetors. To remove some of the stubborn dirt and grime that was stuck in hard to reach places I had to soda blast them. Unfortunately I couldn't show that process as it happens in a box and it's impossible to film it. All you see are clouds of soda smoke. I didn't show a bunch of other small boring sequences.
These are Keihin CVK 34 mm carburetors. These are simple and well made very reliable carburetors. You can find them on several dozen different bikes including the Kawasaki KLE250, KLX, KLR, GPZ 500, BJ250, even on some Arctic Cat snowmobiles, and hundreds of other motorcycles and ATVs.
The process in the video involves disassembling and inspecting the carburetors and throttle plates. If everything checks out. All the jets are removed and cleaned with carburetor cleaner and compressed air. Every possible hole and orifice of the carburetors is also cleaned with carburetor cleaner and compressed air. If you want, at this point you can paint the carburetors and any brackets. After this gaskets are replaced and sprayed with silicone spray and jets, float valves, float bowls and top covers are installed. Don't forget get to check the float height. I also went a step further and decided to replace all the Philips head screws with allen bolts. I highly recommend this as Philips head bolts are always found on carburetors from the factory, but they get stripped really easily and honestly don't belong on anything other than cheap alarm clocks.
A very special thank you to my Patron:

Do people actually like power tools as asmr? A sincere question bro not trying to be rude
New Content! Wow! The Automotive community channels needs more of this. I mean whose Petrolhead that _doesn't_ like the sound of the nuts, and screws being unbolted?
I'm surprised that these types of ASMRs are that really silent. They're really impressive! Because, meanwhile, every damn work... I'm Head boiling, yelling and shouting every 5 seconds because of where did my stupid damn 15mm and 10mm went.
Nice. Next time do a version where your dad yells at you for holding the flashlight the wrong way every couple minutes
lol
Too real, man.
Please dude I don't wanna die laughing at your comment, that's too epic 🤣🤣🤣
Or if gave him the wrong part
I don't get it. What's a "dad"?
It was the grunting. That verbal confirmation every man gives when a stubborn bolt or screw releases. THAT, is winning.
Perfect video for my daily 5.45am ferry ride
Great work! We should have gotten a carb rap for staying awake. :P
P.S. I didn't actually think the video was boring. Anyone who doesn't get it, watch to the end. ;)
I'll do one for you:
Carbs went "brap"
But now they're crap.
Shoulda got ITB's, G.
Dat pop! - lovely 1:27
I would love to see a channel of nothing but asmr carb rebuilds. Just start going through all the models of carbs.
You nailed it on the Philips head screws. I remember full sets of Allen head screws for bikes being big sellers.
Those are the Japanese Philips-like screws called JIS, if you, or more often: the person before you, use the right JIS ones, chances of it stripping are slimmer.
DON'T plan on doing such BUT, you made it look VERY simple, VERY much enjoyed the production ! GREAT move to swap types of screws !
When the heading said "NO music"
i knew i would enjoy this video.
Fantastic video, VERY satisfying to watch. Keep up the great work!
Great and relaxing. I love something just like this
Changing the screws is a super simple idea yet so good... why do I never think about it !?
An ultrasonic cleaner does nice work on the small parts too (harbor freight). You can get an ultrasonic cleaner from china that is large enough to fit the whole carburetor in (ebay). Wonderful video. You can also get viton o-rings from mcmaster carr that will fit for the needle valve and other locations. Little cracks in that needle valve o-ring just messy things up.
Excellent video. I'm about to restore my ZZR 1100 carbs and this was very helpful. Cheers. I'm thinking about using a soda blaster to clean the carbs then polishing them, and finally an anodising paint finish. Each to their own. But a good video. Thanks. Norrie the Doric Ninja.
I enjoyed that way more than I should have... Thanks for making it!
Absolutely brilliant. No nonsense learning. Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
Try a Pinesol dip next time if you haven't before. I was amazed when doing old Suzy 2-stroke carbs. Came out incredibly clean. Great video though, there's only one way to do carbs and that's ORGANIZED!!
Love this, I've watched it a few times now! However, having just rebuilt mine, I noticed you used M4x20mm machine bolts, which are slightly too long (you can see it as you tighten them up) I've found the correct size are M4x16mm, in case anyone else wanted to change!
This is fucking confusing. I found this both relaxing and motivating. Very different feelings... I was very chilled out and the noises made me feel at home and in a safe place but at the same time I wanted to go to the shop and do some work lol
Hey a detailed carb rebuild video for the exact setup that's factory on my 2000 Kawi ZR-7. Nice!
Amazing work, they look amazing!!! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the vid. It is awesome to see. thought carb cleaner ate rubber gaskets, so I always remove them prior to cleaning up the metal. leaves me with a problem of how to clean the rubber bits though.... Also found that wadded up aluminum foil does as good a job as abrasives, and is less likely to leave debris in the micro passages. Thanks for sharing!
Nice work man, carbs look almost brand new after the rebuild.
No short cuts. How is supposed to be done. Great work!
it so satisfying to see damaged bolts/screw to spin. Like seeing new hope out of dark tunnel
Just wanted to say this is fantastic thank you helped me rebuild my tripples
Awesome video man. I can't believe I have missed your upload by so much. But it did somehow give me some new, and most importantly, useful informations and I hope I would be able to use the knowledge in a carburetor rebuild that I wanna do. It would be a single carb, but a 2 barrel Solex 32-34 13z which is a little more complicated. I have rebuilt old motorbike carburetor maaany times, but this one is going to be more of a trouble I guess. Also the parts for it are pretty rare now! Leave alone any guide on how to nor anything.
Gotta love my bike not starting and then cleaning the jets out and feeling like such a great mechanic
Nice visuals, I think my Kawasaki 454 has a 2 barrel version of this carb so very helpful.
Very relaxing video.
Thanks
Nice and clean job
Thanks, I needed to see the best way to break loose those carb screws. So ez to strip out.
Amazing work
Perfect
Keep going
CVPerformance in the US has lots of great upgrade parts for cv carbs. Very popular with Harley owners.
Thanks ! That was a big help! 🎉
Great video. Thank you!
Need a video on synchronizing these
Great tutorial. Thanks from Poland :-)
I enjoyed that very much.
Man thank you for your videos . man may God bless you
This is my third time watching it.
I'm surprised nobody else has thought of the idea to make such a video as well.
Idk how i missed this video but it’s everything I’ve been looking for but can’t find on youtube. Nobody shows the wrenching itself. Parts just disappear and suddenly appear on cars. This is nice for learning the process and it sounds good lol.
Replacing those old Phillips screws with some Allen head ones is a great idea. I mangled a couple screws on my carbs putting them back together -_-
Nice video!
Startron from the Walmart boat section every winter storage will prevent this old fuel mess. Leave the petcocks on- as fuel evaporates from the float bowls, better fuel from the tank will refill them. No fuel dries out and maybe cracks the rubber and plastic parts, unless you add a marine fogging oil spray. For spray paint, I like the ceramic brake caliper paint from an Advance auto parts store. I like lots of Fluid Film spray from a Lowes store to lube the throttle slides and diaphragms.
No, the bowls will not refill from the tank, these have a vacuum feed which means the engine must be running to allow fuel to flow
And no music,thanks for that,much appreciated.
finally some peace and quiet.
More of this please!!!
nice video
Yes . Those Emulsion Tubes did have a LOT of Emulsion on them . 😂🙂😉 . Great Job .
Worth a bajillion subs
Now your doing something I actually know a lot about although I haven't worked on CVK /Kawasaki carbs for a few years. (usually Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki)
Guess whoever had bike before you never heard of JIS screws? Using Phillips or 'posi drive' almost always chews up JIS although a #3 Phillips is 'almost' a good fit for #3-JIS if you tap it into screw head.
Really should have run a fine copper wire through pilot jet, the brass gets a layer of oxidation and restricts the hole size, very easy to burnish out though.
The 'good' thing about Kei-Hin carbs is the jet size is almost always the hole size in millimeters.
Probably have around 35~40 pilots so it's 0.35~0.40mm diameter (around 0.012")
(Mikuni and some Kei-Hin use flow rates @ around 19" head of fuel.
There is a 'standard' but I forget exactly (It's based on AMAL carbs as Japan (Mikuni) made them under licence pre-WWII)
Should also have checked the cross drilling in emulsion tubes for the same problem (copper is softer than brass so won't enlarge the holes)
It's also a good idea to check tips of fuel mixture screws with a magnifier (I use x10 loupe)
They often have a slight burr so don't meter accurately. You also need to make sure the springs are flat on the ends, almost all aftermarket kits have the spring just cut off leaving a sharp edge that digs into carb body and screw damaging them (not such a big deal on screw but is bad for carb body) It removes material that can get in passageways causing problems
Bang on 1crazypj, I also split them to check seals and to give the bodies a clean in an ultrasonic bath
The O rings on the fuel feed tubes are more than likely bad. If I remember correctly the throttle shaft seals are felt on these carbs but many other types have rubber rings of one type or another, which go stiff with age and need replacing
Carb cleaning & servicing is a dying art these days and this video isn't bad compared to many of the half-arsed efforts I've seen on YT
@@UPTHETOWN Hi Andy, I rarely use ultrasonic any longer on 40~50 yr old carbs, found it leads to excessive pitting where time and various chemicals have etched body inside float chamber.
I have soda blasted carb bodies which does a great job of cleaning external surfaces but don't normally do much with cosmetics as I modify carbs to suit 'new' E10 fuel and removal of stock air filter system (although the mods work well with stock system)
The factory setting don't generally work so well with today's fuels
No, we Thank you for the Great content
Awesome, started my 1985 GPZ900A2 carbs today. Could you share the new bolt specs? I need to do the carb fuel transfer o rings though these were not done in your video still I’m am very grateful for this video mate, it’s excellent thank you🤙
Master Class in Action ...
Not really, OK but not taken to the church-of-clean
This video was EXACTLY what I needed, I plan on cleaning my Keihin carbs from my Kawasaki GT550 and couldn't find a video anywhere until I came across this. Will be using this for when I come around to cleaning them. would have been good to see you ultrasonically clean them. 10/10
Also could you include the details of the replacement parts you used? I wanted to know which fuel hoses you got?
I did my carbs on my GT 550 and the only bit I couldn't get were the rubber diaphragms.
Super interested in replacing the philips screws with allans like you did, just gotta figure out that thread size
impressive
I don't know why but I was expecting HowToBasic style ending :P
im really sleepy now, thanks
Well done Sir, very good steady pace video giving time to absorb your work. What was the name / brand cleaning product you used to scrub down the surfaces please and, which company do you use for the replacement carburettor jets, mixture screws and seals? Cheers.
Nice
Aghhhh! Dude, your glove at 5:01! That flapper! I can’t even!!!
@driving4answers
What bolt sizes did you use?? I need to do this exact same thing for my 1984 gpz900r. I saw the M4x20, but didnt see the box for the large hexbolts
try varsol/mineral spirits for cleaning next time it dissolves oil and carbon so well
10 star video
I miss the sounds of few choice words or a screwdriver tossed across the room when things go wrong, at least that's what happens in my garage 😁
Happens in my too don't worry. Probably in everybody's 😁
Ohhhh Yesss!
Dude you are a carb god🤲
I have been called a lot of things but never a carburetor deity before. This is my new favourite title. Gotta update my LinkedIn.
If you have a UK gpz900 that hasn't been upgraded to water heat version, you might get a set of new. They were on call back.
When i bought mine in 1999, it had call back letter which was honoured. One of my customers ran local dealer, he did job, said i had £1300 of new carbs. Worth asking if still honoured. (only paid £1500 for spotless 1984 bike).
Only problem with gpz, it'a a rocking horse, didn't like going around mini roundabouts.
hell yea! thorough revival, leak test on bench and synchronizing went well?
Leak test went well, zero leaks. I didn't synch on bench as I didn't separate them. Will synch once running
@@d4a yes, that's what i meant, synched therm on the bike once installed and ready to run. do you start the screw 2-2.5 turns out before making adjustments, or use previous setting and go from there? assuming no change to intake or exhaust systems
Do a video on the 4g92
oOoooHhh thats nice
Excellent work! how much unscrew out at 13:00?
Love this video, fyi its awesomer at 1.75 xspeed
What your process on jetting ..
I've got a 1980 Suzuki GS 850 sat for at least 13 yrs ..has 4into 1 exhaust ..I took apart carbs and throughly cleaned every passage several times..new jet kit ..starts and runs at idle ..once you go past 1/4 throttle it stumbles and dies out ..started with #40 and # 115 jets..didn't run good ..took out 115..put in 120..no better..took out air jet was 180..put in 190...no better ..with air box on ..and a rag over intake of air box ..great throttle response..with out ..won't go past 1/4 throttle ..
Any ideas ..??
Hello sir thank you for the timeless content! 1 question what is that machine you used to cut new screw holes in screws that were all scraped?
An angle grinder 😁
@@d4a thank you sm for you timely response.
I find this a difficult job, but no talking? We mis your lovely voice and the information it conveys.
Aww you're making me blush 😊
😍
Buy cheap sonic cleaner, works well on small jets passages in carbs.
This was very good but I prefer some narration. So tell me, how many times did you catch yourself trying to explain? Good work!
Hahaha, it was a nice change of pace. I'll be back to yapping in no time
how was your satisfaction when you took the car for a drive after this carb rebuild ?
These are intended for my motorcycle. I haven't tried them yet because my bike rebuild isn't going anywhere at the moment, can't get the parts I need, international shipping has been totally messed up because of covid.
Hi what did you clean the carburettor with
What was the white powder you used to scrub with? and was that combined with WD40? Also where did you source all the new hardware?
It's a kitchen scrubbing powder. Yes, combined with wd-40, it doesn't work magic but with patience it yields good result. Rebuild kit is from German eBay, all bolts are from Wurth.
What is the flot high from the gasket please let me know thanks buddy
Do you have finish GPZ750r project?
I have the same exact carbs, 2003 zr7s, I’ve rebuilt as much as i can but it still has the tiniest leak that looks like either the bowl or just above it, do you know what the exact causes could be? Please and thanks!
Sorry, I've seen a few of these, usually they don't leak so I can't help much. Did you replace the float bowl seal? Make sure there's no gouging on the mating surface of the float bowl
When the next iconic engines episode coming out? I love them! I need more!!! (EJ next pllsss)
Next episode is this Sunday. There was a poll to vote for the next one and the 13b won.
Oh dang. That's a good one todo! Where does the poll get posted so I can vote on the next one?
@@Cabuuuse I post it as a poll on UA-cam, it should appear in your feed. Unfortunately I have zero control over who sees it. More than 1700 people voted tho. Ej20 came in third I believe, sharing the spot with the LS. I think you should be able to see the poll on the community tab of my channel.
Okay. I must have missed it. Looking forward to the next video, no matter what engine!! Keep up the great work my dude!
My car is carbureted and i want to swap the engine and install bike carbs, did i need to replace the fuel pump or buy a fuel pressure regulator?
You... want to install bike carbs on your car?
Do have video that carb running?
Not yet, these are from my kawasaki that I'm currently rebuilding
i never klicked so fast *grabs headphones*
my favorites
1:27
4:30
+2 hp +3 throttle feel *8 reliability
Where can I find a set of these same Carbs Online To Purchase.... I am in need of a set for my bike which is the same Model
There's several sellers parting out these bikes on ebay. Just search for gpz900 r carburetors
Is there anymore GPZ content? I can't dind it
3:51 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Float height?
I don't mind this
WD40 + powder detergent= petrolhead toothpaste 😂 Excellent for carbs too! Do you have a good recipe for my 4age injectors? i'll have to clean them in a few days...😎
Why not rebuild them? ua-cam.com/video/9x0d7deCMpk/v-deo.html
Rebuild kits are super cheap :)
@@d4a In fact, I already own a rebuild kit. I'll go for ultrasonic washing...🙂 I have been watching most of your videos about the MR2. That helped me a lot and allowed to do a lot of things by myself. Thanks again 😉 !
