thank you tremendously for this video! I just picked up a 1982 Honda V45 Magna. I bought it knowing the carbs were all seized up and that I was going to have to clean them. Following your directions I was able to take the carbs off and get them all cleaned up and now I have a running bike! Just a couple of notes: I was able to get the carbs out without taking off either of the coolant crossover tubes and I was able to get them out of the left side of the bike. With your prying techniques I found this job to be not as bad as I thought it would be. Much appreciated!

lesson learned, follow exactly what the shop manual says....with my 3rd gen magna, i decided to install the rubber boots to the carbs first. took me more than 1 hour and still can not install the carbs. i remember it was easy the 1st time i did it. so finally decided to read the manula again... which says...install the boots to the block 1st....and yes, it took only 1 push....LOL

Great video! Getting ready to do the carb thing on my 84 VF700F Interceptor. Bike has been nicely restored but she is leaking fuel so I believe it's time to pull, clean, rebuild/replace and install. Had an 84' VF750F Interceptor back in my Marine Corps days in the late 80's early 90's. Foolishly sold it when I released from active duty. Found the 700 in 2019 and had to have it. Wife's eyes rolling.... It sits proudly next to my 2013 Honda VFR1200F.

Thank you for the video 🙏🙏 stupid me actually😅 i already printed out the manual, but i'm so lazy to opened it. Been trying to figure it out since afternoon on how i could put it in again, because removing it was so easy for me; i did it to the left side without removing the cross pipe 😂 but yes it's quite a hustle since i have to remove the air filter box first. Again, thank you 🙏👍

The ‘82 Sabre carbs/air box seem to remove easier from left. I bought it to restore and I’ve had to remove the carbs twice already because I didn’t thoroughly clean three of the four pilot jets the first time. First time I removed them I separated air box from carbs bc I couldn’t figure out how to remove entire unit. Second time I discovered the slight indentation in front/center of air box allows it to squeak past frame.

@@MotoRestoFL Thank you for the video. Have you done the video of installing them ? Does it go the same for Sabre , completed with the air box-bottom aluminium plate, or separately each one carb at a time ? Because it is a little diferent frame of the Magna and of the Sabre models. Thank you for the video.

@@kopronko I tried to video the install but if I recall correctly, the phone didn’t work properly and I didn’t get it. The service manual says the Sabre carbs go out and in from the opposite side of the Magna so that should be the left side. If I pull mine again I’ll reshoot that process.

@@MotoRestoFL Thanks brother. Probably no need 2, because today i succesfully installed them from the Left side on this freind's Sabre , and after polishing damaged cams, welding cam-lobes to stop oil pressure dropping, and carbonitriding them, and reboring cam-bearing caps for the new lubricating system, and added external oil filter for the head lubrication, it was excellently Running aaalll afternoon here in the Southern Eu. It Was a ... 2+months project . And, i Am More happy than the owner , to so succesfully finished my second VF Repair-Imbettering project. My first similar project was in 1996, when i Did the same, plus welded cylinder liner and block, because the conrod was shooted trough the block because of seized con-bearing, plus alll cams bearings seized. I Also welded the cam lobes, to stop the oil pressure dropping. And it worked 28 years ago, just as it worked Today. Thanks to Lord God 4 help which I Needed. Peace with you from old Eu 🙂

I love the fairing on the bike.... Care to share what style?

It's a Rooster fairing by Vetter. Period correct, probably 1983-84 range, perhaps later. It's my second, actually. The first must have been a very early Rooster because it was made out of the same unrepairable plastic Craig Vetter used on his early bags (I had a set on a KZ1100 -- he responded to an email that the plastic of the bags was not repairable). This one, however, is made out of ABS plastic and Fiberglass, I think. Interestingly, my understanding is that the Rooster fairings were made by Vetter after Craig Vetter sold the fairing manufacturing to Bell (of Bell Helmets). The Rooster's were set up with a single DIN radio opening and two 3-1/2" (I think) speaker openings. This one had the original Rooster speaker covers, the original one I had came with just blank covers over the speaker holes.

If those cross overs haven’t been removed for a while forget about trying without removing the carbs. They tend to seize in place. You’ll thank me later.

I was on my phone and couldn't type much but here on my computer I can fill in the blanks. Go to www.v4spark.com and you will find everything you'll need to know to install stick coils on the Magna V45. He has everything there including wiring diagrams. You have to purchase replacement spark boxes (spark units) which are capable of COP (coil over plug) options. They are programmable using a USB printer cable believe it or not and he has an app you can install on, say, a laptop if you want to do bike-side adjustments, but you can pull the boxes off and use your desktop as well. It's a rather in depth project so be prepared. Cheers.
