My bet is it's your pilot jets inside the carb jet block as others have suggested. Try the Shotgun again with just compressed air, no carb cleaner, but this time REMOVE each pilot air jet #1 (PAJ1 is #2 in the diagram below) to get maximum compressed air flow to the pilot fuel jet. (When I say...

You posted this issue in a thread August 23rd, 2024: https://www.vmaxforum.net/threads/1998-vmax-weird-idle-running.54170/ "Good evening, i have a 1998 VMAX that has been pretty good to me. However when I got it running I had just rebuilt the carbs entirely. Since the entirety of it running it...

1997 Vmax - I installed a headlight cut off switch some years ago. Started the bike and switched on the headlight, but no low or high beam. Pulled the bulb and checked the fuse, both were good. Checked my installed cut off switch for continuity (it's in the headlight ground wire) and it was...
