This sounds to me like a carb float being stuck open. Turn off the gas and drain the offending carb(s). Next, turn the gas back on and sharply tap the float bowl with the plastic handle of a screwdriver as the fuel bowl refills. The goal here is to vibrate the float to free it up. If doing this process a couple of times does not free the float I would remove the carb(s) and clean with a spray carb cleaner. Clean the air filter then re-mount carb(s). Next Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Dump it, clean it and re-mount it, ( not all bikes have a water trap bowl ). Install an inline fuel filter.

THis should solve the problem.

SOURCE: will 2003 Honda shadow 750 spirit pipes fit a 2002

yes but you may have to get a small section of flat iron (any metal) and use it as a mobile mount for the rear of the pipes. the pipes will fit the block though.

It is different then most other carbs. DON"T DRILL ANY BRASS HEADS LOOKING FOR THE AIR FUEL MIXTURE. The air fuel mixture is the only adjustment you can make. It is located on the bottom side of the air intake, right behind the air filter box. It looks like a 1/4" flat metal plug. Do NOT drill this. There is no slot for a screw driver. There is a tool which is no more then a small piece of pipe that fits over this plug and you turn it in till seated, gently. Count the turns. Back out to 2 and a half turns, thats normal. Or if you no that you need more fuel injected, simply turn the screw OUT 1/4 or 1/2 turn and try it. GOOD LUCK (Its not hard)
There is no drilling to be done. Hope i didnt scew something up on mine......

2007 honda shadow vt750 dies sputters on acceleration

The problem might be with the air filter, and if not there are a few other things that could be causing your Shadow engine to bog down on acceleration. This includes a dirty carburetor, carb adjustment issues, or other internal problems like damaged vacuum lines or a cracked manifold

Has not been started for months, now it will only run with the choke out. As soon as the choke is in, it dies What should I be looking at?

Fowled carburetor . You might get lucky and run some seafoam carb cleaner thru it. But may require cleaning carb by taking apart.

2003 Honda VT 750 C2 Shadow carburetor adjustment

Let's focus on adjusting the air/fuel mixture. This adjustment can help balance the fuel-to-air ratio for both cylinders. Here are the steps you can follow:

Idle Screw (Air/Fuel Mix):
The idle screw, also known as the pilot screw, adjusts the air/fuel mixture at idle. It affects the fuel flow from the pilot jets (idle jets) into the carburetors.
Locate the idle screw on your carburetor. It's usually a small black knob near the choke.
Turn the idle screw to achieve the desired idle speed. Listen to how the bike sounds while adjusting it.
Note: Adjusting the idle screw shouldn't significantly affect the mixture setting.

Pilot Screw (Idle Mixture):
The pilot screw (idle mixture screw) fine-tunes the air/fuel mixture from idle rpm up to about 1/8th throttle.
To access the pilot screws, you may need to remove the air box and carb side cover.
The factory default setting for the pilot screws is typically 2.5 turns out.
Carefully screw each one in until it lightly seats closed, and then count the number of turns.
You can adjust the pilot screws to make the mixture richer (more turns out) or leaner (less than 2.5 turns).

Dual Carburetor Sync:
Since your bike has dual carburetors, it's essential to ensure they are synchronized.
Use a vacuum gauge set to synchronize the carbs. Adjust the linkage screw until both throttle butterflies are in the same position for idle2.
Synchronization helps maintain consistent performance between the front and rear cylinders.

Check Rear Cylinder Idle:
If the rear cylinder isn't running correctly at idle, it could be due to a partially plugged idle jet.

Consider cleaning the carburetors if needed. While it can be a bit of work, it's essential for proper performance.
If the issue persists, consult a mechanic or consider opening up the carburetor for a thorough inspection.

Remember to take your time and make gradual adjustments. If you're unsure, consult your bike's service manual or seek professional assistance.
