  • In this fifth part in our video diary of the recommissioning work that we're doing on our 1997 Yamaha XV535 Virago project bike, we clean the carburetors. Unfortunately, we're not the first people to have been in these carbs, so there was a little more to do than we expected. We had to also remedy someone else's poor work.
    A view kindly pointed out that we did not remove and clean the air mixture screws. We appear to have missed this from our video. Please do not forget to do this.

      Take a look at our Take II video. It’s so much easier if you don’t need to take the carbs off. Let us know how you get on!

    My Virago new 26 year old virago was running awful. The diaphrams in both had disconnected from the cylinder that houses the needle!! New ones in now and she runs a dream🎉

      Following our insitu carbutetor clean, we had a ride out to see how she was performing. It was a bit of a mixed bag. We'll be posting that video shortly. We've now ordered some carbutetor repair kits for a full off-bike clean and repair. We had no issues with the diaphragms but there were some small holes in the air cut off valves; which are also small diphragms. We shall also be posting this update video, shortly.

    What about the air mixture screw? Why didn't you take it out and clean it?

      Very good spot. We did do the air mixture screws but failed to show this on the video. I will pin a comment to say that it needs to be done. Thanks, for spotting this.

    How do you get the other carb cover off?? The fuel line is in the way

      I'm not quite sure I understand the issue. Could you provide a little more detail? Feel free to send a photo to motorcyclefettlers@gmail.com if that may help.

      We don't use any brand in particular. We just use whatever's available.

    I have virago 535 often my first cylinder floods overnight when I take out the spark plug, you can see that it is very wet what's the problem

      I wonder if the float is sticking or incorrectly set? I'd take the float bowl off and take a look.
