One of the best reasons for using soda over any other media for carbs is that the soda residue dissolves and washes away with water- completely. Any other media always leaves grit around places like the choke and throttle shafts. Cheers

Awesome vid. I am definitely going to try this out. Alternatively, I've used a weak solution (20/1) of lime scale remover like CLR clear (calcium\limescale ust remover) and a sonic cleaner to get that white stuff off (I think it is zinc oxide). Just do it for 5 or 10 minutes. Leaving it too long and with too strong a solution will pit\grey the surface.

Just have to say that the 4 people who disliked this video obviously don't get it. Great vid. I'm about the tear into my carbs on my '97 Honda Shadow Spirit 1100 v-twin. I'm still in the research phase of the project. As soon as I understand exactly how to proceed & all of the correct settings, I'm going to get after it. I'll certainly use this cleaning method. Thank you.

lmdetect Thanks for the comment. I have to edit a carb clean video I did on a 04' 750 shadow, it would be helpful for your model as well. Before you tear into your carbs, note the fuel screw setting. You may want to consider increasing pilot jet size 1-2 sizes up. Those shadows are pretty lean from the factory.

MatthewMCRepair - I am looking forward to the video, & I appreciate your comments. I bought this motorcycle used a few months ago and it has aftermarket pipes on it, but I don't know if the motorcycle was rejected. It's from an estate sale so I don't have any real background on the bike. I'm not even sure what size jet is in it or is supposed to be in it. That's information I'm going to have to figure out. I have no idea how to jet this bike. The pipes look like slash cut Cobra slip-ons, but there is no wording of any kind on them. Jet size is currently my biggest obstacle on this upcoming project so far.

Hey Matt, you are one smart guy, Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I have a 85 VT700 and have done a lot of work on it myself by learning from you and others. I recently had a minor wreck and rust broke loose from the Gas Tank and clogged my fuel lines. so I spent a week removing the rust upper/lower gas tanks and replaced the Fuel Filter.Its running better but something is still off about it. Any advice on cleaning carbs without a total disasemble?

as i am at work i have no audio, so if he covers this ignore me. This design uses the Venturi principle, in that the high pressure from the air gun creates a low pressure pull in the tube, drawing fourth the media. also, if you are drawing media from a stationary supply and find your supply not feeding properly, you could sit in a chair, operate the gun with your hands, and tap/kick/ bounce the supply with your feet to keep it moving into the hose end.

No I haven't. I would like to one day. However, I'm not sure chemicals would clean what I was dealing with. These carbs had a rust residue and some mineral deposits that the carb dip would not touch. The soda took it right off!

three things, soda you buy from wall mart is totally something else than real sodablasting soda. second, you block the tube with your blast gun, thats why the suction is so bad, third, use safety gear.

Hi Matt, Is there a reason to use baking soda instead of a sand blaster (other than most people don't keep sand in their fridge)? Would it be a bad idea to sand blast inside carbs?
@steadyeddie7453
Жыл бұрын
Definitely nothing other than soda. The soda dissolves and completely washes away. I first tried aluminum oxide inside my blast cabinet, but could not get out the media grit residue particularly around the throttle and choke shafts. Plus the soda leaves a nice finish while the alum/oxide leave a rough finish (perfect for paint adhesion, but not for a final finish). And a bag of soda is $. A bag of alum/oxide is $$$$. Cheers
