Просмотров 9 тыс.3 года назад
I bought a second-hand Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro online. The previous owner told me it accidentally fell over, causing the head-stock to snap off. In this video, I'll be going through my repairing process. Enjoy! - - - Please subscribe for more content. Thanks.
How to clean carbs & rejetting (Yamaha YX600 Radian)
Просмотров 7 тыс.5 лет назад
After replacing the factory airbox with individual podfilters the right way to compensate proper airflow/fuel mixture is by replacing the main- and pilot jets in your carburator. This video shows most steps in the process. The result is a much smoother running and more responsive engine. If you have issues with your air/fuel mixture after placing pod filters, this is absolutely the best way to ...

Testing my favorite Wah Pedal. Played on my Strat with Bluebird J1 pickup's, through a 1978 Musicman 212 amp, and a TS10 as overdrive.
Great video😃👍. Thank you. The guitar looks and sounds great⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Is it possible to take of clear coat on head stock with out hurting the real mother of pearl and if soo what do I do
Depends on your guitar and the finish it has. Polyurethane is often thicker while Nitrocellulose lacquer might be thinner. Based on that you need to consider what works best. Either by heating or sanding. If you go with sanding, make sure you are able to do it carefully and evenly. My headstock was not damaged on the front so I left it untouched. Hope this helps and good luck!
Nasty break , that one’s going to snap again with a vertical break like that. The crack looks like it may have gotten all the way to the fingerboard. You did the right thing in splining it but damn that was a really bad one 🤮. If it’s outta whack paint it black! If it ain’t right paint it white! It’s hard to break an epi one piece neck . A A Ron done fucked up on that one. Great fucking job dude wizard level shit bro! 😎
Did you have to tune the bike after doing this to it?
Yes. Take into account that this will be necessary after rejetting.
@@zelissen and how would I go about doing so? I’m literally lost man I just want my bike back lol
@@kaynray9292 Got a some more info? Did you already do a full rejet, and what are you running into?
I haven’t re jetted it yet I’m just not sure how to tune it
It’s an 86 radian straight piped new pod filters and now I’m going to install new stage 3 jets from six sigma
Lovely video! 👍 thank you
👍
Nice job, bro.
Ty!
Very well made video. The workmanship is exceptional and the repair looks really strong.
Hey thanks a lot! Appreciated.
Ballsy move routing both sides at the same time... me, I would of been doing one side then other. Hats off on the nice job.
Hey thanks! :)
Awesome Johnny Cash song but this vid taught me nil.
Then you either already knew everything that's in the vid and comments, or you haven't found the thing you were looking for.
So many tools... You just convinced me not to simply glue the head back on, but rather take it for a professional repair. But what will that job cost and for an '06 epiphone, is it worth that cost?
Hard to say. It depends on you and your skills. I'm not a pro, but I think that if you're quite handy and also passionate about the challenge, you should do it yourself! I rather spend my money on the investment of proper tools than pay someone to do it for me. Especially if it's an Epiphone. If it happens to your €3000+ Gibson you might consider bringing it to a pro.
What kind of glue did you use?
Titebond 1 (original)
Did you adjust the float level ?
Nope
Nice job!! Well done.
Hey that's nice to hear. Thank you!
If I were you I would have had a rolled edge on the ends where you were painting to get a soft edge and not a straight line as it helps when you go to feather in the new finish to the old one. Other than that I thought it was great and very ingenious way of using the bungee cord to apply pressure to hold the headstock.
Thanks for the reply! You mean the tape that was on there during painting? I removed it before applying the last layers. It isn't in the video though, so I understand what you mean.
Incredible!!!
Tysm!
Soon as you got out the angle grinder I swiped
A carefully used angle grinder with flaps disc works very well to remove the first excess wood. All the precise removal was done by hand after that.
REALLY😩🙄,,,to fast ,no information
What you need to know? Anything you're struggling with?
Recently replaced all my old, cracked carb boots and rebuilt the carbs but was dumb and bought a cheap rebuild kit on eBay. Now it idles at around 4,000 rpm with the main adjustment all the way down. I think the pilot jets they gave me are too big. Need to find compatible parts but can’t find the model number for the carbs anywhere, what model are these?
Hi, sorry for the late reply. I don't know the model number of the carbs. But it should be no problem to figure this out. Maybe you're able to find it through a manual on badrad600.com? Btw, why don't you try tighter pilot jets?
I like how you skipped all the little screws and spring placement in the valve info I needed lol
You mean the screws on the inner of the slides? Yeah, those were annoying to get back in lol
Diaphragm in my carburetor have harden where can I find replacement for them have the same bike
Your best chances are to ask at a Radian spare parts dealer. Good luck!
My Radian throttle does not return quickly when closed, are you located anywhere near SC, are you into fixing my carbs like you show above? If so please let me know. Thanks for the video.
I'm from Europe, so unfortunately no. But I once had this problem. I was able to fix it by adjustment of the cable tension. If that doesn't help, you might want to try turning the throttle screw underneath your carbs (2:02). What this does is, when turned clockwise, it opens all 4 carb vales a bit further at the same time. Maybe yours is too wide open so fuel can still flow through, even when you close the throttle. Hope it helps. If not, let me know.
Solid man! Great playing and tone
Appreciate it! Thanks
What did you do with the Crankcase vent hose once you removed the airbox?
I bought a longer piece of hose and curved it so it's facing down to the ground. Use a tiewrap to keep it in place. The opening is simply for venting, so that'll do.
@@zelissen thanks so much for that!
Nice work. About to pick apart my own carb on my Radian 👍
Durspells, I'm working on mine (86' Radian)at the moment as well. I'll let you in on any bumps I run into. I ordered the stage 3 kit from 6Sigma as well.
Great! Good luck!
@@zelissen Thanks for the motivation! Hey, since I have you on here, I have a couple of questions for you, if that's cool. Did you have to tweak anything after the cleaning and upgrade? Did you back the fuel screws out 3 turns equally on each carb? And did you have to wrap the pod filters with anything for side wind? I keep reading about wind vortexes and crap.
@@wtbofnc7880 No problem, feel free to ask. I think that when you decide to actually upgrade or make any changes to your carbs you should already be assuming that tweaking afterwards is necessary. First I went with how it's described in the manual, like with the 3 turns out on each pilot screw etc. And I had no problems on my first rides. A bit of trouble came after riding longer distances. Happily I was able to solve this with some tweaking of the pilot screws and throttle screw. Adjust everything very carefully until the bike runs smooth. Another great tool to help with this is a color tune. It's basically a transparent spark plug that indicates whether you got too much air or fuel. If you got too much airflow, your air pod filters might be the problem. I never did any adjustments to my air filters. Although I think it's always the best choice to go with high quality ones. Hope this info helps!
TenFinger StringSlinger Thanks so much for your time! Very much appreciated!
Hi, have you any adress for membrans? Two membrans are broken and blow by.
No sorry, I don't. But maybe you can find a spare parts Radian dealer? Depending on where you live...
Sell me the carburetors I need a replacement of my yamaha yx 600 carburetors
Sure, though it comes with a bike.
Can you tell us what size jets you used? And if you did an exhaust or stock pipes?
I used two 122.5-mb and two 105-mb for the main jets. And four 32.5-mpjn for the pilot jets. I ordered the Jet Kit at 6 Sigma. They can help you define your exact needs based on your specs. I replaced the stock pipes with shorty mufflers a long time ago.
I need to clean up my carbs and I plan on switching to pod air filters like you did, what would I need to do differently for that? Like size of jets?
Depends on the bike and filters you have. And the conditions you ride in. Altitude, avarage temperature, driving style, etc.
HEY TFSS! very cool i also have the rmc wizard wah as well as others what made you pick this wah? and what year is yours [ does it look like the one in the picture ].thanks
Hi there, thanks for the comment! It's not the one in the picture. I bought mine in 2014 and it was quite beaten up from that moment. Also the sticker on the back is partly gone so I don't know the serial or date. I tried (and still have) Crybaby and Vox wah's but this one simply sounds the best. I also own a RMC Wheels of Fire but it's still not as good as the Wizard. It's probably the sweep range that I like the most. If I can find the time I'll made a vid of the actual wah soon. Cheers!
hey there a video would be great! yeah i am the same when it comes to the sweep range on this wah it never gets harsh with the toe all the way down. i also have a vox [ clyde mccoy reissue that has been pimped out by wah guru joe gagan] a crybaby classic a fulltone clyde deluxe which is really cool and a reissue fender fuzz/wah.if you have not heard of joe gagan you should check him out he has his own line of wahs as well as doing mods. i really want to get one of his new faux boomer ultra wahs it sounds so good.as you can see i am a bit of a wah freak!
