Man I have to say thank you for this content, every single video (even about basic stuff) I find on R50 is helping me so much. Thank you for this, please keep uploading.
Main problem I find about these old bike is that everyone who loves them thinks everyone knows everything about them, and often basics are overlooked, your channel does not.
Thank you again, I'm sure I'll learn so much from you! :)
Cheers from France

This is a great descriptive video! I wish I had viewed it while rebuilding my own R50 carbs!

Good vid. One point, I would check the float height prior to installing the float bowl cap - normally set to something like 22mm.

Thank you much for this video!! All your R50 videos are super thorough and helpful to me and I'll be checking them out repeatedly along with any new ones you care to make!

Thank you! Great video! I’ve already rebuilt my carbs, but picked up some additional info from this video. I look forward to you next carb video.

Nice video.
Did you check the front faces of the carb flange for flatness? Very often they're warped from over tightening, which will cause an air leak. They're easy to flatten using some wet'n'dry sandpaper with water on a flat surface like a thick piece of window glass.

Hey man do you think you could make a video on adjusting/ syncing the carbs after a rebuild? Just sub'd to the channel keep it up 👍

Thank you for the tips, One question, in a r67, same type of Bing carburetors, we have some explosions on the exhaust, the bike also can't run well up to 70km/h, after this speed the engine cough, looks like carburetor issue, what is your opinion ? Thanks again

[pieterjanwouda]

Can you make a video showing how to set the ignition timing of the BMW /2 Magneto system. Stator, rotor, contact points and ATU, the full works.

[karlpoindexter]

Very nicely done. Well, except for that point at 18:35 where you mistakenly point out where the "updated needle and seat" is located. You were SO close, missed it by half an inch.

I really like your videos. Thank you for your easy to understand approach. Was wondering if you could do some videos on how to use a multimeter to check spark plugs, condensor, points, spark plug wires and caps? Thanks in advance. I ride a 1967 R60/2

[JohnReeMusic]

Hey pal, great video! I would love to see a front/rear shock replacement and maintenance walkthrough as well!

I'm not finding the follow video on dialing in the carbs. If you made it can you point me to it? thanks

[sidneybolt]

Great video thanks. Are you intending to do a balancing/mixtures setup video?

[rudisik]

Thanks. Was very helpful. Need some advice. Righ hand side carb slider drops in (as you mention in video). Left hand side does not - very "sticky". Think its the cause of the throttle getting "stuck" third of the way. No obvious damage to the slider. Many thanks

I cannot find the adjustment video for the R50/2 bing carburetors.

[DavisGestiehrMusic]

Forgot to ask... how often should you rebuild your carbs or know when you should ?

[denislangridge]

Very informative not such a black art after all 👍

[antonsunga]

If I may ask...
What is the link where I can buy the R50 carb rebuild parts?
