Thanks for the response. This is very much appreciated. I have rebuilt the carb with a new carb repair kit and there appears to be a good mixture of gas and air. I have even interchanged the carburators from front to back to eliminate this possibility as a fault. We originally dismantled the...

Hi guys, I am in need of help again. Two of my front cylinders are not working. Maximum compression is okay, current flow is okay, spark plug okay. Rear engine works but really hot. Why do you think the front camshaft is not working? Can I interchange the camshaft of the front and...

Thanks Steve and Sean! Huge help!

I have recently been restoring a 1990 Vmax 1200 and decided to replace the pistons from the original size to 0.25mm oversized. I also purchased the oversized rings with the aim to improve the overall performance back to ‘new’. As I went through the process of taking measurements I found the...

Hi guys, Thanks very much for the help. I have replaced the fuel pump with a new one (took awhile because I had to order the part from another country) and I am now seeing white smoke coming out. Is this normal? What could be the problem now? [headscratch]

Now the vendor has sent me a picture of the what is think is the Fuel Pump Relay, but saying this is from the 1997 model. See pictures below. I am also attaching here the picture of my own piece, the one that is not working on my bike. See below. I know they pretty much look...

^^ thanks very much! This solves it (i think). I will send the diagram to the vendor and have them review it. I might need your assistance again and for now, cheers!

Guys, I had a problem with my Vmax (1990) and my mechanic said it could be the Fuel Pump and Fuel Pump Relay. And so we did order the parts abroad by giving the Year Model, Engine, and Chassis number of the bike. But when the parts came to my doorstep, the Fuel Pump Relay sent was different...
