Just bought myself a 535 project bike so will be following these videos extensively for guidance.... :)

Very nice, I'm glad you find my channel... 😉👍

Take out the air filter so you can push up the air intake. Makes getting the carb out and back in a breeze. Found it when watching a video on how to set the float levels on this bike.

I have dun my 535 carbs , just remember JSI screwdrivers to strip the carbs down , the sonics tank cleaned my carbs a treat, I see a person on KZread with a brilliant remedy for getting carb boots back on , just squash them down and loop string round them ,then pot it through the frame and take string off , it worked for me .

Yes the sonic cleaner is the only way I'd do any carbs. I was planning to clean them but ran into some problems so decided to go on an other route, video about that coming later. Yes JIS screwdriver set is a must for Japanese bikes, unfortunately whoever touched these before me clearly didn't have a set😁

I haven't got to that part yet. I've heard that some people pushing the top boots all the way inside the frame (airbox) and once the carbs back in then lower them down onto the carbs, however I can't guarantee it works as I haven't got to that part yet...I can't really help with this one as of now, sorry

Hi,you say you have an installation video for 535 cards, where do I find it please. Great help for the removal. Thanks Craig

Hey mate, was wondering do you have the choke starter lever set 1?? I need that shaft mine is bent :(

So, we worked out that leaving the bottom front boot bolted onto the cylinder head and undoing the underneath jubilee clip helps. Push the whole carb upwards so the upper boots (still connected) go into the air box. This then gives room to remove the *awkward* front right bolt he was on about. Then you can remove the boots at your own leisure.

Hi, you say do you have a carburetor refit video or is it just do the opposite to removing it . Thanks Craig

Awesome vidéo! I have been all morning trying to replace the intake boots, it's a nightmare! I managed to put the rear one but the front one is "impossible"😂 Well I will go back to garage I really liked the video , the way you show and explain things, I subscribed! Keep it up

Thank you very much and welcome to my channel... I am fairly far from the carb installation as I am currently in the stripping phase. I have been told if you remove the clamps from the top 2 intake rubber and then push them back into the frame, there is just enough space to slide the carbs back with the intake manifolds already on the carbs, then push them back out from the frame and you are good... Haven't tried it yet but if it works then that is how I will do it in my carb installation video.... Good luck😉👍

Try turning it around the nipple to break the seal, also can use a hairdryer to warm up the tube, which will soften it a little...

Hi, what year is your virago 535? Mine is from 1992 and the carburetor is different, it only has one throttle cable, and you took two.

@MidlandCruiser

Hi, mine is a 1996, but they all should have 2, 1 is for opening them the other is helping rolling back the throttle.

Do you know how to test the air cut valve assembly and reed valve? The valves on the left side under cover. I had gas coming out my air cleaner when trying to start after it stalled on me..

@MidlandCruiser

2 жыл бұрын

Well that is a bad sign, and usually indicates a stuck float. There is no special way to check it, I just strech the membrane a little, over a light to see any pinholes or rips in the rubber. Petrol from the air filter is definitely wrong fuel level, or stuck needle sign though.

That's a tough one...personally I think you are better off removing them anyway, also I don't think it's possible. On the 1100 it is just manageable but that is designed to slide out to the side..tbh I haven't touched my 535 for over a year because I'm doing loads of stuff on the house and my workshop, but will be back on it soon.

@Midland Cruiser FYI I got the rubber boots on amazon for £16 opposed to the £50 they want on ebay

There's a vacuum hose that comes from the air cut off valve that's in the front cover.. where does yours go?? The guy that rebuilt mine put it on the right side inlet joint where the caps go to check sync. I don't think that's where it goes. Idk I need help I can't find any diagrams. And I'm not talking to that mechanic again!! Help 🆘

When I removed the carbs from the bike, it was running fine, and there was no vacuum hose on it, what you see in this video that's how it was, didn't leave anything out. You may have a USA model with the recirculation system on..this is a UK model and we never had that crap here...people usually just remove it and plug any open connections. What model, year do you have? I can do some digging 👍
