A few things should be added here: 1. Always wear gloves and eye protection. Carb cleaner is nasty stuff. 2. Only do this in a well ventilated area. Carb cleaner is nasty stuff. 3. Use a softer brass bristle to clean the jets if there's a blockage (you may not need to use one at all), not steel. Steel can damage the inside of the jets. 4. It's good to have a carb rebuild kit specific to your bike/carbs purchased ahead of time in case any parts need replacing. At the very least have some O rings/gaskets. 5. If you're not familiar and comfortable with disassembly/reassembly of your carbs, only do one at a time so that you have another fully assembled carb you can reference if you're unsure. (assuming your bike has more than one cylinder) 6. If you're still experiencing running/idle issues after carb cleaning you may just need to adjust your fuel/air mixture screws. 7. Take your time. Trying to get it done quickly will only lead to mistakes.

YOUR VIDEO SAVED ME!! I'm VERY inexperienced, and have been looking for people to help me restore my dad's old bike (got it running, but the carbs were never 100%... Or 10% for that matter) Your videos actually taught me how to *properly* clean my carbs (a lot of stuff I found were very vague or resulted in the youtuber buying new carbs) Thanks a million, Goldguy

Thank you so much! Did my first carb cleanup and it took me less than 2 hours. Idle sounds much better.

This is a video for peoples who have a gift for mechanics. Pulling things apart and remembering how to put them back again. You did this in 1 hour? I'd need a full month if I'm lucky.

Dude I love you! Lol I just bought a 1980 CB750C and I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you!

Quality keeps getting better keep up the work

This video is actual so much GOOD information for cleaning carbs atm my 79’ cb750 won’t even hold an idle imma try this cleaning ASAP

that bike was before his time but i like how some of the youths are interested in vintage bikes.

Wow, good... I took 3 weeks to clean my carbs of 2005 Yamaha V-Star 1100... but, installed pods, new jets, tested leaks and air/fuel perfectly... for a result of main jets of 140 vs 112... but, it works... winter project!!! 👍

Thank you. You explained this best. Can't wait to do it this weekend on my bandit 1200 and see if it fixes my issue

Thank you so much I just brought back to life a 85 Honda Elite 150

Love the shape of that bike

Good job Gold Guy! Another helpful video...Scott in Detroit

I've got a whole pile of carbs I should clean, it's on the to-do list!

What did you drill your jets out to? Is there any flat spots with them being cv carbs and having air pods? Thanks! Love your videos man!

This was great information thanks for sharing

Great video mate. Subbed

i love the cafe racer videos so much!

did you re-jet for the pod filters?

Great job man

Hey man. Could you help me in the direction of where you got the screwdriver to get the emulsion tubes out? I'm having the worst time and really don't want to drill out mine. Thanks! Love your videos.

Is it a good idea to clean the fuel pump as well ? Cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

If only the carbs on my VZ800 were this easy to remove haha! Thanks for the tips :D

Shouldn't you take out the diafragms and caps before you spray the carb cleaner, as it can eat away at the rubber. Also it's good to inspect them closely each time you clean the carbs. It saves you from future confusion

Great tutorial, well delivered showing and explaining things simply. I wish I spotted this first as it would of saved me about 90 minutes. Thanks and all the best 👍

Yeah buddy! Quick and back on the road.

Thx for info!

What kind of Speed Gauge are you using for your cb750???

My setup is almost exactly like yours. What size jets are you running?

Maestro, me encanta tu motocicleta

I think whats killing your bike is those pod filters, those carbs run off vacuum and with all that air coming in it might just be bogging it down might need to go with the stock air box for the the right tune air& fuel mix.

“I have made that mistake before, it hurts.” Probably an understatement lol

Where did you get the handlebars from?

What about syncing the carbs?

Good job buddy

Aaah. Nothing better than watching this channel and getting to see the cb750

You dgaf you spraying that carb cleaner everywhere LOL.

are you running stock jets?

thank u man..

Good job!Hope my comment on the last video helped you!Next time also unscrew the top of the carbs and check the rubber membranes for tears.Now make sure to synchnronize the carbs with a vacuum gauge.Good luck!

good job

So, dumping carb gas into a gold pan, lol, ... so you go out looking for flake? always wanted to try that. Just started a build on a 1980 CB750 Custom. It's been in a guys garage for near on ten years but turns over and is super clean. I got to the point in builds where I could take the carbs off a CB disassemble them swap internals and back on the bike within 20 minutes, not bragging and really don't like doing it, but sometimes it needs to be done. Great content as always.

I have a 1985 Vmax I am the second owner end it has 11,000 original miles however the man who bought the bike in 85 had it in his heated garage for the past six years and I only rode it twice a year so I need to do a carb clean.

Easy if you have that sort of setup, on a VTR, its tank off /airbox off, then u gotta remove the carbs

Cleaning the carbs on my 81 750 C. There is a tube running through in between carbs 2&3. Where does this connect?

Getting ready to do this. As far as the float bowl gaskets go, are you having good luck in re-using them? I've done some in the past and they always seem to leak.

I really need my carbs clean I have 2003 honda shadow spirit

Never use steel wire to clean out the Brass Jets you want to use wire that is as soft, or softer then the Jets. You can use Copper Wire from Stranded Electrical Wire or a Bristle from a Brass cleaning Brush.

Nice cruiser.

I use 2000 & 3000 grit wet sandpaper with Liquimoly carb cleaner... fast and effective

How often must you clean carburaters. And what are the signs to look for when you think they need to be cleaned

I'm literally the *least* mechanically inclined person ever. So to me, having to take the carbs off my 06' Ninja 500r sounds like a nightmare because of the frame, and the.. gas tank? (I think I have to remove that to get to my carburetor?) Anyways, any tips would be appreciated :) Also congrats on the 30k milestone you were talking about man! Happy for ya 😄

nice

What size jets are you running in the cb750 I'm adding pod filters and need a little insight

Would this be a pretty similar process for a 1980 GS550?

Use a brass bristle instead of steel, steel is harder than brass and is more likely to gouge the brass. Thanks for the video.

💯👏🏽

To be candid, you got a great thing going here man but I feel like the patron needs more incentive. Even if it was a monthly draw for gold guy merch, or a draw for a suggestion to the music for the next video or what the next video is about.. The larger goal is to help sponsor more content yes but there are fun ways you could sweeten the pot if you get creative :)

Another thing you should do when cleaning your carbs that I neglected to include in my video is to check the diaphragms for cracks or holes, they are on the top of the carbs, opposite the bowls. Remove the two screws holding the top cylindrical cap off and carefully remove diaphragms and inspect them. If they are cracked or leaking, your bike will also run like total garbage.

is it the same with liquid cooled carbs?

Is that a cb900 ?

the two outer float bowls were chromed, those crazy Japanese thought of every way to cut cost.

How fast can you guys clean your carbs?

I guess its 100% the same as a 50cc moped carb. I've done that alot of times.

Lol.. Actually i have a stack of gold pans in the garage and i did the same thing... You were probably still first though... Lol

I cleaned mine in 56 minutes. ")

Please share this video with someone who has a bike that runs like $#@!!

Why are they getting dirty so fast? Are you using dirty fuel???

gloves and goggles.

funny i need to do this to my motorcycle

People who time themselves doing this on a video really makes them look unprofessional. Take your time folks

Diaphragms will distort very quickly with full strength carb cleaner. I'd say you got lucky.

Why sounds like two cylinders

Carb cleaner in the eye is the weirdest feeling. Your whole eye gets cold as fuck.

You should probably wear gloves when using carb cleaner

To do it fast is not as important as to do it thoroughly.

the bike might run better than it did before, but it still doesn't run as well as it should. this is most definitely NOT cleaning them "Like a Pro"

Why easier then I thought

Cleaning is not something you should consider as a race. Take your time, don't rush it. It took this guy 2 minutes to tell he will do it fast...he would have been better to spend to 2 extra minutes to remove its phone from the work bench before spraying...

パワー全然ないけどcb750はいい音。

nothing is easier to get the carbs off of than an old 750 honda that already has the old airboxes out of the way. Try it on my 82 Honda Magna V-45. isn't it convenient that you can't see the cellphone during reassembly and isn't it funny how he gets to the end of the video to roll it out and see how it runs and you don't get to see how it runs because all he does is stand back 30 feet from the bike while it's idling. So what am I saying? the whole video backfired on his ass because he put it back together and it didn't run right. He couldn't show you how it runs because it runs poorly because he screwed something up. He could have saved it by fixing it and showing it running right instead of making the ending so unconvincingly phony. This whole video is utter bullsh*t.

Why do u keep cleaning these carburetors so many times in this bike maybe there is a problem in your fuel tank

Holy shit, this was the most half assed "like a pro" thing I've ever seen. No one should clean their carbs like this. Ever.
