    Heya Bryan, I've been having issues with my '84 VF 500 F Interceptor, everything is pretty damn clean, did an oil change, removed the old petrol, put a gasket on the fuel valve as it was leaking, getting fuel into the carbs, got good spark and air, but it just wont start, but works fine when pouring a little through the air inlet, i have the jets sitting in a carb cleaner bath and hope that will fix the issue, should it not work though, do you have any suggestions? My bike has been converted to gravity fed as the fuel pump doesnt seem to be getting any power, tested the pump as is and it works, if that could cause a problem, please let me know, i'd be glad to hear from you!

      Update: It runs on petrol now, had the nozzles in the carb cleaner bath for a day, put it all back together and it runs again, but it appears to have a vacuum leak or something as the revs jump to 3k for a bit, then settle back down to 1,5k. So, from the Motor block and up everything needs replacing/rebuilding.

      I had to replace the boots between the carbs and heads as they were rock hard after 30 years. If you havent akready done this, find where the idle mix screws are, and if not already done drill out the little metal plugs that covers and remove the covers. This will give access to the idle mix screws taht will need to be reomeved and clean behind them. This helped the idle on mime.

I'll have to look more into the workings of carbs to find all the parts that need replacing and cleaning. Where might these metal plugs be? I saw one in each float bowl just behind the nozzles, is that what i should be looking for?

    Thanks for the video man. My car recently started leaking from the bottom ports on the flange. What really happened = was cruising down the highway at 60-75 km/h and a stone hit the first car then hit my car and went under. Ever since, the coolant reservoir/bottle has been found leaking from the top rubber pipe on the reservoir. Doesn’t seem cracked though, neither do the flanges on the side of the engine (same flange in the video) but it seems it’s leaking on the reservoir as well as both the bottom pipes on the flange. From both the in and out on the flange and leaking onto the transmission or the mounting point of the transmission + engine. I’m guessing some pressure build up that’s forcing water out. But I top up every few days, and keep driving it slow. After the stone had hit prior to all these faults, the damage was the front (mainly the AC condenser, Intercooler and maybe radiator) - can a broken radiator cause this? But radiator don’t seem to be leaking. Maybe the compression of the radiator upon impact forced liquid out and now there’s a passage? Or maybe some seal broke? Don’t know. Still prepping myself to send it in for a check up.

    This is pretty much just like a 356 head right? I am about to do this to my heads and like the valve compressor tool you made with the big clamp. I did this to a vw head but when i tried to compress the springs on the 356 head it seemed harder than the vw spring. Are they tighter or was i doing something wrong? I was using the first tool you showed on the valves in the middle and they felt so tight. I even tried using the larger valve spring compressing tool that looks like a little swing set without the swings lol but with a lever, and they were still hard to compress.

    • @bryansprojects3570
      @bryansprojects3570 Před 16 dny

    I'm curious about the little raised ridge area on the side of the crankshaft of your engine (you can see it at 9:34). I have a very similar model of pressure washer (020344) and the crankshaft doesn't have the little raised ridge coming out of the side of it, instead, there's a little groove there. So I'm not getting much pressure at all… But when I look up that crankshaft part online, it looks like there's a groove, not a raised ridge. So I'm not sure if there's a little metal piece that supposed to sit in the groove that's missing, or if I'm missing something else? Hope that's understandable. Anyone have any ideas?
