How To: Clean, Rebuild, and Adjust a Carburetor.
Here are the steps:
1. Disassemble the carburetor, remove all jets, screws, gaskets, seals etc.
2. Dip the carb body and bowl in the parts cleaner for an hour.
3. Remove carburetor and scrub with brass brush.
4. Put carb back in dip overnight.
5. Remove carburetor in the morning and look at that shine!
6. Spray carb cleaner through all jets, passageways and orfices.
7. Spray compressed air through all jets, passageways and orfices.
8. Assemble Carburetor, replace seals, gaskets, needle valve, seat and jets with new ones.
9. Repeat steps 6 and 7.
10. Adjust air screw and float height according to your service manual.
Congratulations, you now have a perfectly cleaned and rebuilt carburetor that you hopefully won't have to clean ever again! (As long as you use a fuel filter and new air filter)

Good stuff. Nicely done, informative video. I have to agree with the use of compressed air. Nothing succeeds like 90 psi.

Awesome! I have a 1966 CA95 ....do you have an idea on how get the petcock off? I've attempted to turn the bottom bolt to get at the screw...stuck!

There's a hex nut cast onto the bottom of the bowl. Remember it's upside down so remember lefty-loosey righty-tighty, have you been turning it the wrong way to unscrew it? There are three 5 mm pan head bolts that hold the main body onto the tank. Warning, the thread pitch could well be .9 instead of the usual .8 (the ones on my CB92 were .9) Rust from the water in the tank could have worked into the threads so they will be loose once you get them out. Big job if they're rusted in place. Good luck.

The float height is usually measured without the gasket and only on the bare bowl mating surface because the gasket material thickness could vary giving you an inaccurate reading.

Good point!

Always submerge your floats in water and watch for bubbles. Bubbles obviously mean there's a hole.

@rozerdozer718 Жыл бұрын

Quick question gg! I have a small hole in the float bowl area in my carb, it's a tiny hole connected to the plunger thing. Is that normal? I'm not getting any gas spitting now... idk if it's clogged or that hole is normal..

@GoldGuyRides Жыл бұрын

As long as there is no gas in the float and the carburetor doesn't leak gas out of the overflows when it is filled up with gas then it is fine. Sounds normal to me.

@user-on8ii7km1b Жыл бұрын

hey man great video- I have a similar looking carb with that one straw like needle in the float bowl- mine always leaks. What is the point of that needle? Will a rebuild solve this?

@GoldGuyRides Жыл бұрын

Thanks! That is the overflow tube and it is there in case your float valve isn't sealing, the extra gas goes through that and out the drain on the bottom of the carburetor instead of leaking into your engine. If you pull out the drain bolt, clean it all up and tighten it back in it shouldn't leak unless your float valve isn't sealing up.

I just did my first carb but a spring came out of the carb and where does it go

@GoldGuyRides 5 ай бұрын

Look up the parts diagram of your bikes carburetor online and it will show you where the spring goes.
