So, I've managed to possibly screw my carbs over. Had a pilot stuck. And long story short wound up using a reverse bit screw extractor... the casing round the jet split on me. Is this in any way salvageable? Or should I be scouring the junkyard?

Hey Guys, I'm having some problems with my 07 Hnda Shadow Spirit. I rebuilt carbs put new/bigger jets floats gaskets the whole thing. Also installed Velocity stacks and new plugs. When I got to tuning the bike the front cylinder runs good and the back not so much. It makes like a putt putt...

Newly acquired 2000 honda shadow 600 single carb. I took the carb out to clean and then reassembled but now I am not getting fuel to the bowl. I have verified that fuel is getting to the carb port but is not filling the bowl. I've also removed the auto fuel petcock and ran a line from tank to...

Hello! So to start, I changed my oil about 1500 miles ago on my motorcycle. It's got 48k miles on it as we speak. But I noticed that it's been making a weird noise the last couple weeks..I know for sure I overfilled it a bit off some bad information..forums said it takes 3.2 quarts Kent powers...

Hey guys. Currently “riding” (sitting on) a 2003 shadow spirit 750. Need some advice on ordering parts. All mechanics around me refuse to do the carbs so have to do it myself with zero knowledge on the subject. For starters, where should I order a rebuild kit? Will also need to replace all fuel...

Hey all! Wanted to say thank you again to everyone that helped me in my last post. To sum everything up, I recently purchased a garaged 2003 Shadow 750 DC with 5000 miles. Garaged for about five years, cobra slash cut drag pipes, and stored dry(ish). Anyway, I’ve got spark, compression and I’ve...

Hello, I recently picked up a non running Honda shadow in trade for an engine stand. I cleaned the carbs and the bowl is getting fuel. So I would assume it would start but it only starts when I put gas in the intake port.

Just had work done on the bike for a popping and crackling issue at idle. That's been fixed but now at high rpm it stutters like its hitting a rev limiter?? I dont have a tach but it sounds like around 3500 rpm to my ear. Shop says it's a jet issue.. they've ordered a jet kit but I took it home...

Hey guys I have a 2000 shadow sabre 1100 with cobra pipes. I have the symptoms of needing a rejet but cleaned and rebuilt carbs with an all balls kit. After talking with others and reading I think I will just go ahead and get a rejet kit from dyno jet. Only problem im having is it seems like...

Hi all, Does anyone know the exact name of the carbs on this bike? My choke lever is all messed up and I'm trying to figure out if I can convert it into a push/pull choke instead. Anyone done anything similar to that model? Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly...
