Hi - I have a 1997 CT.
I am looking for a link, website or video who gives a complete break down to clean and rebuild carburetors.

My plans put an All Balls rebuilt kit in, ultrasonic clean carbs, rebuild petcock  open to any and all suggestions.

12-28

It may not be the definitive source, but the most comprehensive video tutorial I'm aware of is below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITyszhh4XHs

However, one thing he does which I (personally) would NOT is to reuse the float valves.  It's tempting to try and save a couple of bucks - but remind yourself what's involved if you have to correct a mistake.

I also echo the previous poster; go with the complete RedEye kit.  I've done two sets and it works quite well.

I would suggest a Honda shop manual.  You can find them as a PDF file (usually free) or buy a printed version.  I prefer the printed version which is well worth the money for just about everything you'll ever want -- or need -- to do to your Valk.

Also, I'll third the Red Eye kit...

Here's the link:  https://redeye.ecrater.com

Ditto on the Redeye kit and the Honda manual. I use new jets and float valves from Jets R Us. The float valves have a spring in them that controls the float level. They get weak and the floats don't ride at the right height. New Keihin slow and main jets plus float needle valves will run you about $108 shipped. I steer away from aftermarket jets because you have no idea what size they really are, especially in a kit that has a ton of stuff for a cheap price. I trust Redeye and original factory parts from Jets R Us. If you get a bad part, or fail to replace something that should be replaced, you will have to tear the bike back apart. I'd rather ride. That Honda manual is available in pdf somewhere on here also.
