MM -- thanks -- the one I am referring to is the one in the image below (I assume that is the tamper proof plug). Plug looks like a brass fitting with a tiny hole in the middle. the hole that plug should be in is completely open (nothing in it) on the front right carb. I ordered a new one and...

midnight -- thanks a pile -- thats a great set of advice and really helpful

Looking for advice on things to check on a rough 98 vmax which may be unique to the bike and I may not think of. got a 98 vmax, looked a little rough when I got it but ran ok as far as I could tell. got it home and looked closer and the more I looked the rougher it appeared. - changed oil...
