Thanks for the video. I wanted to see how you get the float pins out when they are seized in. Also wanted to see if you could put them all back together and get the bike running.Even I can take things apart. I used a dremel tool to cut the legs off of the float pin supports to get the floats out and threw the carb bodies in the scrap pile. The float pin can only be removed in one direction as there is a steel post in the way preventing you from using a pin punch and it is blocking removal from the other direction. No more 80's bikes for me way too compact and complicated. They are great for buying to dismantle for parts. Once the kick starter and round headlights disappeared from Hondas line up bikes became as complicated as cars. Radiators, water pumps,cooling fans, sensors,fuel pumps, solid state ignitors and rectifiers, Now fuel injection, air bags, anti-lock brakes and computer controls, all parts that belong in cars. Now very few people can easily fix them. I am staying in the 60s and 70s where I belong. The simple times for simple people ,no rocket scientists needed to work on bikes.

Thanks so much for this... really helpful for new diy'ers getting into the honda v4s. Would love to see one of you putting back together after clean!

u r a great mechanic. thanks 4 the vid

It's interesting--nobody ever shows a video of the removal of all four float bowls on a 500 while the carburetor bodies are still connected to the air plenum. I'm pretty sure it's because you cannot get one of the three out without separating from the plenum. This wouldn't be much of an issue, but it makes balancing the carbs a right pain in the balls if they're not connected to a rigid structure.

Ive had hard time hunting down a service manual for this bike and what I've found wasn't cheap. So there's also an app on smart phones call manualslib which you can download a full service manual for this bike. Free

Anyone got links for a good carb rebuild kit?

Anyone know where to get cheap float bowl gaskets and jets? The only things I could find from dealers was gonna cost me over $500. The stuff I need only comes in kits

hello friend, I have a magna v30 500cc but it has no spark in the 2 spark plugs of what can I do to get it started?

where is part 2?

Long winded with an incomplete ending

Do you need to sync them after you clean them or is that just if you take them all apart?!!!

wheres part 2?

do i repeat this process for all 4 carburetors
