needle

My bike runs like crap while cruising, when I have the clip in the fourth slot from the blunt side of the needle. If I move it to the fifth, it's almost good, but I still get annoying stumbling when going slightly downhill/cruising. I have 165 DJ mains installed, and a stage 7 kit. Is it not...

This is not a stock needle pretend it is ok. The plastic piece goes first into the slide then does the shim go in after that or put the needle in second then the shim on top of the stock needle?

Hey guys, I've been enjoying my Vmax for the past 5 months until the gearbox broke down and I had to park it for a while until I got it fixed. Now my problem is, and this has been going on since I bought it, it runs a very low mile per gallon, and by low I mean from full tank to fuel light...

Hi, I was wondering how to get the needle seats out of the carburetor to install new ones. I see the plug and don't know how to remove it or put it back, or if I have to remove the plug at all. My book just says push on the seat and the seat and plug will push out. Seems a bit lousy for...

did the rear wheel needle bearing inner race change length at some time on the run of vmaxs? working on a old kosman rear wheel and the inner race is 35mm long. i had a spare one sitting on my shelf which was 32mm long. did the inner tube maybe change at some point? i gotta imagine the...

Pulled my needle jet as I'm running lean, the nylon stoper has 2 washers between it and the c-clip, needle is stock 5ez43. Cant find pic or description, service manual pic blows!! One washer is same diameter as nylon stoper, other one is tiny.:ummm::ummm: Thanks guys, Frank

id like to know how its done! the carbs im rebuilding and putting a jet kit in, had one needle seat that had been rubbed into a groove and the needle itself froze in it. it came out covered in film. so after looking at its replacement in the rebuild kit i tried soaking it in parts cleaner...

I cleaned my carbs today and as I was documenting all the jet sizes, needle shims, etc., I noticed that the manual and some of you here list the 2 PAJ sizes as 90/170. I'm running all stock and I have 100/170's in mine. I live in S. Oregon at an elevation of about 1500 feet. I have a Califonia...

What does Walker typically recommend for shimming with his 4 - 2 holeshot system?

Would anyone have a spare tach / tach needle that they would be willing to part with? My wife broke here while changing her lights over to LED's. (Don't ask).:ummm:

Looked but could not find a How To Adjust A/F pilot screw. Does anyone know where in the tech area or how to area I could find a pictorial and verbage on how to adjust it. Got a new one installed in carb 3 and would like to adjust it properly for idle mixture. Thanks.

After going to the dyno this morning and finding out I was a little lean in the mid-range...realized I needed to shim the needles. Followed the how-to on here...got the radio shack washer pack, mic'ed at .019. Added 2 washers between the nylon and the retainer clip, making sure to push the...

How do you remove the float needle seat??? Looking at the seat itself you would think it just will pull straight out..... It won't. I am now past the point of no return on this

After spending a ton of time fiddling with my carbs I fixed a couple stupid mistakes and I'm running fairly good now. Starts easily, no more popping, no mid range crackle. My lat problem is to fix the response after a few minutes of starting. The engine can die if I give it too much throttle...

I posted several times about carb flooding problems asking for help. I replaced needles, set float heights, checked fuel pressure, etc. but nothing helped. I suspected the needle seats but could not find anyone that had ever replaced any. yamaha made it difficult to replace them so I avoided it...

RAISING THE NEEDLE ONE SHIM. WHAT DOES THIS DO RICHEN IT UP A LITTLE OR LEAN IT DOWN I AM THINKING RICHER. :ummm: THANKS BILL

i have a carb that will not quit flooding no mater what so while im in it the 3rd time id like to replace the seat. ...... um how in the bejesus does one remove that thing

Anybody by chance happen to have some washers for shimming carb needles that I could purchase from you? Looking to shim the needles to about .038 - .040

Has anyone changed the needle seats in vmax carbs? Do you have to remove the staked in place plug above the seat?

Thought I'd be smart and stock some of the #4 washers from my local Radio Shack. I was at the store and couldn't find anything so I asked for assistance. Guess Radio Shack's cutting products from their shelves like everyone else has done. I was told none of the stores will have them. If this is...
