Hi everyone! I just overhauled my carbs. Everything was moving freely as it should. The throttle cables move with ease. Now with everything installed the throttle sticks open and won't close without manual assistance. There is a squeaking noise coming from the cable side of the carbs. Could...

Ok, I have been searching and searching. Everyone keeps saying for gas to come out of the top vent tube is a stuck float. I have pulled the rack and cleaned them, twice. I have also switches the float valve with the one next door and it's still leaking. Could the float itself not be floating...

So my '03 Maxter Blaster has about 9000 miles on it. Here's the problem: when I'm approaching a stop and I grab the clutch, proceed to shift down but sometimes it will stay in the previouse gear. The shifter never locks up and can move in either direction. It will pop out of say 3rd to 2nd...

Hey Guys I posted here about a problem I was having at idle http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=9801 Well found the throttle plate too far open and there was not enough manifold vacuum to pull fuel. Vacuum was 1/2-1/3 of all the cylinders. Well that is all better now. Got the carbs all...

Did several searches and couldn't find an answer. My starter switch is starting to stick. It slowing returns to the normal position after pushing in. I can feel drag when pushing it in. It hasn't affected my starting yet but I'm guessing it will soon. Is there a procedure (sticky) for...
