Ok... I have an update, kind of. I first tried coils and wires, no change. Then I tried the cdi box, ignition box, black box,:rofl_200: whatever you want to call it! And no change. So I figured the carbs have been off and fiddled with so much might as well slap the new ones on and see what...

Definitely feel your pain! My wife's 2012 Honda Pilot (the bigger SUV) V6 has 86k miles and needs a timing belt tensioner. I took it to the dealer because there was a non-related recall and I had them diagnose it. I didn't have any intention having them fix it because I knew they would be...

Thanks for the info guys! I will definitely do one at a time to figure out exactly what it is. I've been dealing with this for probably six months now if not more, so the least I can do for everyone here that has helped is post exactly what's wrong! I'm sure we can all admit that these VMax's...

so I just got Morleys electrical test kit today! I also posted in his section on here. Amazing how much stuff he sent! Now I just need to figure out where to go from here.

A few weeks back I posted about ongoing issues I'm having with my Vmax. Long story short.... a few had mentioned to contact Sean and get his electrical test kit. I received it today and HOLY CRAP! So much stuff in there! He even sent a full set of carbs... unbelievable! I can't even imagine how...

What do you use to clean them? I took them off not to long after I got the bike and I tried anything and everything to free those suckers! No luck! Jdeitz- are you talking about coils and wires?

I know it's a 17 yr old bike and things go wrong and wear out etc... but it just seams like its all at once. As far as replacing the fuel pump, it runs like it should and clicks like it should so I don't know if that would be a waste of money. I've taken it apart a few times and the little...

Thanks for all the replies..... I contacted Sean and he is going to send me the kit. I haven't done a set float check ever but I know there is a sticky on how to do it so I'll check that out. I've thought about just getting a new fuel pump from eBay for $20 or $30 but This thing is nickel and...

Dry float levels were right at that little circle mark in the float bowl. Last time the sync was just about perfect. This last time 3 were even and one (front right cylinder) was even but it was bouncing. I replaced the plugs last time but not this time and I haven't checked them yet.

But even right after I put it all back together and it "runs good" for a few miles I still get popping on deceleration and it's still not perfect but it accelerates like it should. D-Max When I took the tank out I got just about zero sediment out of it, I didn't coat it though. I also took the...

So the time it ran good for 800 or so miles it actually wasn't the same problem (before the 800) as now. Before it was a hesitation or stumble if I tried to hold a steady freeway speed. After the 800 miles it would pop on deceleration and if I try to cruise at any speed. Also, instead of...

I guess I'll give that a try. Definitely going to need help from you guys on all that stuff!

I didn't take the intake off at all. I don't have the original coils and wires anymore. Is there any way to test the cdi box? If I take it to a shop I'm sure they'll charge me $400-$600 to rebuild the carbs even though they don't need it and once that doesn't fix it I'll have to pay even more...

I got the COPS from blaxmax on here. I have a carbtune and the sync is good. I don't remember if they are DJ or mikuni, I actually have the 150's in now. I had a two brothers full 4-1 exhaust and took the can off and put a single universal open end supertrapp on. I also have a drop in k&n.

What are you thinking the culprit could be electrical wise? I have COP's on it now but that's all I've changed. I have a multimeter but not a lot of electrical experience so I would have to do some reading on here. The bike had 170 mains in it when I got it and I went to 150's and it pops a lot...

After NUMEROUS attempts at getting this thing running right to no avail..... IM DONE! :bang head: I've had the carbs off and gone through 3 TIMES and it'll run good for a bit and then back to the same old bulls**t! The first time I had the carbs crone through it ran good for 800 or so miles...

I will try that, thanks. I was to tired last night.... up at 330am and not home until 8pm sucks! I got 6 more days of work but hopefully I'll get to it before then.

Yes I took the fuel pump apart. I will try filling the fuel filter and see if that'll work. I've changed the fuel filter before and never had to. As for the inlet and outlet I'm 99% sure I have it right because of the way they are angled, but just wanted to double check with you guys here. I...

Probably a dumb question so go easy on me please. I pulled the carbs to tear apart and clean and I also replaced the fuel filter, took the tank out to clean it, and took the fuel pump out to make sure everything was good with it. Now my fuel pump has no suction! I pulled the line off of the fuel...

I'm going to have to do this also! Long story short...... carbs have been gone through TWICE! The last time it ran awesome for a handful of miles then like **** AGAIN! So I'll have to pull the carbs and go through them once again and pull the tank and do the coating thing. PITA! I hate having it...
