G'day buddy, thanks heaps for that video. it really helped me to get through the process and save a stack of money in preparation for the Honda dealership to do the rebuild work (got to have a warranty somewhere!! haha). You've done a great job in helping others. Should be proud of yourself!!! Thanks again BJ
My setting is 2.5 on the main air to gas screw. However you can start at 3 or 2 and dial in... I use 87 gas only. Dirties up everything but fixed it. I do have a jetted carb and the mileage is horrendous. 40+ miles is what I set this on. Get better electric tools, they make life easy and repairs faster and faster. Good luck 🎉😮😮😮
I have a problem with my VFR 750 RC36 one of the muffles does not heat like the other three, it is giving good electricity and good pressure but it stays at 60 ° even accelerated and I do not get the problem I need your help. Thank you
Typically, the main problem with the RC36 once you take it apart and look at the anatomy after 25 years are as follows: 1. corrosion on the HT coils, wires, or plug caps. Measure spark, fuel, and air in all of the cylinders. The entire cylinder should be around 19-23K ohms. 2. Vacuum leaks; although you are getting compression, spark, air, etc. one of the major problems is a vacuum leak. None of those measurements indicate full vacuum checks and I mean on the cylinder head port. Also, the front exhaust has to be connected to the collector (midpipe) without any leaks, otherwise, the bike will not start! 3. If air and spark are completely checked, then it leaves only a few remainders. Clogged jet is one; a carb problem or jet problem. Otherwise, check the carb boot on that cylinder. 4. The last and final check is the CDI box and the pulse generator. Neither of those are within my professional ability, prob not yours either. You have the option of replacing it or winging it but they are not very expensive to replace. What I am hearing is vacuum leak in one cylinder but check everything while you are there. good luck! If all else fails, get a used motor off eBay for $400.
Mechanical effort is good. Water cooled V-4's are difficult to work on, i have had 2 of them and own one right now, and do 90% of the maintenance. music is depressing though, so i turned it down, thanks to the visual text.
One of my carbs are jetted. The stock ones are set at 2.5 turns on the main setting. Each carb is different. Try 2.75 turns and go down to the best power to mpg. I donated the bikes. Electric tools cut the time down by half. You can better it if you have good tools, WHAT THE VIDEO IS REALLY ABOUT.
Song sucks, and it would have been nice if u talked and let ppl know exactly what's going on. Glad u got it figured out. I know nothing about bikes, in fact I think this vid made me dumber. Ty
Thanks buddy, I didn't even know where the carbs were hidden 15 mins ago!
Lots of videos out there now, good luck with your old bike...

Get you some electric tools. They are very fast.
the tiny differences in idle and main jet sizes from stock are likely NOT responsible for your bad gas mileage. its something else.

I'm going to check it out, thank you very much for replying
I got a 1990 vfr can you tell me if the cheap starter relay on ebay would work for it?
Yes and no. Do not trust any part not oem
Song reminds me of simple times

V4 motorcycles are expensive but the best. Cost for major service is double...

My bike is dumping fuel, a lot of fuel, I thought it might be a hose, but clearly it's going to be much more complicated.
Leak. The carb has to be rebuilt, trust me, they are very easy once you learn how.

Start with your tools... Watch videos and see how others do it well or not. Depends on your budget.🎉
