    OMG...This thing....maybe a good pressure washer not so much in a golf cart. I'm limited as far as on space. I would like to put a medical mikuni carburetor in it. The carburetor set up from performance 670. My seat will come down on top of the carburetor. I put a $38 Chinese carburetor on it now and it's not filing plugs. It's working a little bit but it's still still not running right?

    Canada, Ontario:) 2001 Shadow Ace 750 - just purchased...carb never touched (A/F caps still on)...hear they run lean? I was thinking of adjusting the A/F screws a 1/4 at a time...Any suggestions? Bike rides, and start well - just decel popping and sometimes a bit backfire

    Pertaining to your carb fuel/air adjustment at 10:24 into video, I'm a newbie have a XR650R carb on my XR650L but I noticed this carb does not have that screw you're talking about the only adjusting screw is on the bowl which is probably the overflow screw. How do I remedy lean or rich issues in this case?

    Hello... my name is Leon Fernandes and I am msging you half way around the world from India. I have subscribed to your channel and watch most of your videos... very informative and educational 👍. I ride a Honda CB350F and have done loads of adjustments to the carbs and after my last adjustments I think I have raised the floats a wee bit too high... and now I believe that has made my A/F mixture rich. Is that possible??

    I have a 1971 trail 70 KO model I’m puzzled that it has strong spark at the plug wire cap w/ tester but no spark at the plug electrode ?
    I replaced plug oem. Adjusted plug & is point gap.

    Just bought my suzuki Intruder 800, Loving it. Your vids give the most incise info and make it easy to try it myself. I have basic motor understanding, but know the electrics well and have rewired a GSX 1100. I have deceleration firing, will follow your other vid on how to fix that. Im from South Africa btw.

    In 2008, I bought a 2003 Honda Shadow VLX 600. I've added many things to it since I bought it. I bought a tachometer that's mounted in between the handlebar risers, I also put a heel shifter attachment on it as well. I belong to an online VLX forum. I bought a 750 Aero gas tank from one of the members who included the tank mounted speedometer, the electrical speed sensor and the plug to wire up the speedometer, as well. I learned how to paint the gas tank black with spray cans from someone on UA-cam and it turned out great with a mirror finish. I have a small shop in my basement and fabricated the new mounts for the gas tank and the mounts for a solo seat I made for myself. I also added more foam padding on the rear seat and backrest for my wife and made a cover for it. I haven't got around to it yet, but I bought a jet kit to rejet the carb from TJ Brutal Customs I also bought from TJ an extended idle mixture screw that is accessible under the carb fuel bowl. In the 11 years I've had this bike I put almost 25,000 miles on it. and almost at 35,000 miles. It's still running fine and I love it.

    Hi Cody..enjoy your videos...i wonder if you can help. I have a kawasaki zr1100 that performs well sometimes and then not other times. I ride to work every day 30 miles. when it feels right it pulls like a train then the next day bogs down when accelerating.and pops when decelerating..I feel this bogging also if I leave the choke on to long..mind you this signals me to take the choke off. Not sure if that means something...I have stripped and clean the carbs a number of times even had them ultra sonicly cleaned professionally all float needles been replaced and float heights checked. I have pod filters and used a jet kit also proformance exhaust.as I said it runs fine then bogs...any advice would be appreciated....puzzled.
    Cheers..love the channel.

    Can carb cause deceleration backfire? It is Honda CRF230F 2004. I have heard that decel backfire can mean it needs top end, however I do know the carb needs to be rejetted and tuned and probably cleaned. Reason I ask is the bike belongs to my friend, he is selling but I want to know what the chance is it needs expensive top end.
    Sorry for long comment, Thanks watching from South Africa

    • @TheMotorcycleMD
      @TheMotorcycleMD  4 роки тому +1

      90% of time carb is the cause of deceleration backfire. Other then failed pair check valves and EVAP systems.
