Motorcycle Throttle Lag: CLEAN YOUR CARB!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
►► Here is my step by step Single Carb Cleaning tutorial -www.themotorcyclemd.com/Singl...
Here I demonstrate one cause of a carburetor that lags excessively when quick abrupt throttle is given. This Honda Shadow VT750 is equipped with an accelerator pump to help with this issue. Here is one that is bad.
Enjoy!

Thank you!
Thank you that is great information. My bike has been doing this for awhile.
Hi Cody, another great, to the point video.one of the best on KZread. Thanks👍
I love your videos, you get right to the issue, unlike some Tubers that take 30 minutes trying to impress us with how much they know about the bike they are working on, etc etc etc. Thanks for another great video.
Great great lesson. Right to the point.
Just what I needed! Thanks
this is so helpful. i think you made the video just for me
GREAT VIDEO !!!
Carb. cleaned using carb cleaner in sonic for one hour tested all with wire and air compressor. Fuel pump spraying great, cranks great no choke. Started idle screw at 2.5 now out to 3.5 takes quick throttle and return to smooth idle. Will not take fuel on highway without choke being out ? New jets installed in build, all parts in good shape. Love ALL of your stuff. Please keep up the Great work !!!
Many thanks to you sir. Very helpful. Love the motorcycle md t-shirt!
This video really helped me! Thanks man!!
Great vids dude
Great walk through 👍

Love your videos! I’m trying to diagnose my 1986 Honda Shadow vt 500c. It had a fuel leak from the carburetor; I ran the tank dry, and refilled it, which stopped the leak. But now once I get above 35+ mph, the bike struggles to accelerate, it kinda jerks forward and sputters, and just won’t go faster no matter what gear. I also just changed the spark plugs. Any idea what may be the issue? Clogged carbs? Clogged fuel line? Timing issue? Thanks for any help!
well done
I have a question. Bike warmed up ready to go. Shifts fine, 30mph a little jerking then stops. 50mphr it jerks couple of times again. Carbs dirty??, 2002 Honda shadow Sabre 1100.
I have a serious question, I have a Shadow Spirit with the same engine. It has a very slight hesitation sometimes, only right off idle. It literally runs great in all other aspects. Would you look at the pilot air fuel mixture and doing a idle drop test or would you look at a accelerator pump starting to go? Are those pumps adjustable at all? I’ve also read the air cutoff valve can cause this issue too? Have you heard of that?
The thorttle on my bike isnt working after we cleaned the carburetor the other day. whats my options and is it a big fix?
im having that same issue with a 2002 shadow spirit 750 i know mine has the dual carb but i cant really find the issue any help on this thanks!
Hey brother great video I have a question in regards to my 1998 1500 Vulcan classic..rebuilt master.rebuilt slave.new gears friction plates spring and gasket...still when bikes warm when accelerating even if I give full throttle it won't move..when start bike and ride half hr runs perfact when warm like city traffic stops acceleration only when giving gas expeccialy from a stop..soon as cools down runs great...please help befor I give up on it.loge the bike but tore it down rebuilt clutch too to bottom has taken a few months delivery time on all parts have not had anytime on it atall...I'm gana look into the air and fuel now,being it runs great til bikes warm I was thinking needs a different weight oil but it has the suggested weight per manual...
Nice vid. A plugged acc pump nozzle (in body) is no fun! We should get on the sqway one day.

I’d love to Matt! If any ideas ever pop up let’s talk! I’ll do the same!
I have an ATV that recently has this problems: - when I accelerate it doesn't pull as strong as it used to (not too noticeable but still) - when I go at max speed (80khm) and release throttle almost completely it only lowers down to like 50-60kmh so it seems like I'm not even holding throttle and it still goes. (I would have to release the throttle completely for it to start slowing down - which it seems like engine breaking is non functional at this point) any ideas? any tip is good!
I own a honda vtx 1300 when I'm out riding and give her gas to pass it's like she doesnt pick up speed what could be the issue
I cleared out my clogged nozzles with a strand of copper wire (twist tie could also work) bent into a j, it seemed to work pretty well. Also had quite a time when the plug, ball and spring fell into the depths of my ultrasonic cleaner during cleaning. Luckily they were all accounted for after emptying the murky water.

@TheMotorcycleMD i have a 1984 Honda VF700. i have already cleaned the carbs. I have Bench synced, but not synced on bike. i have also checked valve clearance, set to spec 0.005 IN/EX. and new OEM plugs and set gap per spec. she runs and shifts as she should. however at 6600ish. she develops a dead spot. I can accelerate past but she studders. I can feel it, bike bucks. almost like a misfire. this is NOT gear specific. does it on flat roads but ESPECIALLY on hills. gauge redline is 11k but I believe Rev. limiter is set to 9k. Where would you start to diagnose this problem. thank you for your time. and keep the videos coming. i have learned a lot from you.
Is this the same rule of thumb for dual carbs? Mine is lagging bad but doesn't shut off upon twisting the throttle.
Great to the point Video love your Honda Carb Videos

So,after viewing this video,the actual "cause" of this problem,was the cracking in the rubber of the plunger? Or was it something else? Like a clogged orifice somewhere in the pump (which I don't think it was,after You had already said the lower part of that carb. was clear) Anyway,very helpful video! Thank-You.

Hyosung Aquila GV 650 (650 Pro) Throttle Lag issue At 4000Rpm. Plz Give me some information For solving the problem
Awesome vid! Do you think this could be the reason for lag if the problem goes away after extensive warm up, and riding a few minutes? My problem seems similar but once I getter going, it seems to go away and only return after sitting overnight.

Cold weather effects how any carbureted bike fires up and idles. That’s why they come with choke or enrichment systems. This is talking about a constant symptom that wouldn’t work if it was cold or hot.
I'm so confused. I've cleaned and rebuilt these carbs. Mine don't have an accelerater pump but the jets are clear, diaphragms show no holes, new Orings, vac lines, fuel pump, and still dies upon throttle and only idles.
Can you do a video diagnosing Fuel Injected bikes ? My ER6n has lost power after a huge rain.

Non-ethanol gas in your carbs! Will make the rubber components last so much longer. Great video mate :)
Do the dual carb models have accelerator pumps?
@TheMotorcycleMD

Some do!
mine doesn't quite die, it just does a double take when you give it light acceleration. Mine is squirting fuel. Is it supposed to be more of a spray mist? mine was more of a stream, again this only seems to happen on light accel. Thanx

@@TheMotorcycleMD Hi, thanks for respond. In this version, carbureators don't have acc pump. When i bought it, exhaust system was missing that part called scavenger. Its connecting pipes together and mufflers. Now i made new pipes sort of 2 in 2 with connection betwen them to make it as close to original as possible. I have some leaks on one side of exhaust. Will eliminate it soon. Do you think it may cause dificulties in carb regulation ? Ps. Air filter is all stock and new. Thanks and best regards
