I have all four carbs seated correctly. New spark plugs. All wiring end everything looks good. But this bike is NOT FAST! There is something wrong. It's faster than my Harley Dyna with the twin cam 88, but not by much.:ummm: I'm fustrated. It sucks when you get that feeling like you...

I'm having one hell of a time getting these carbs to sit down in the holes correctly. GRRRR!

New plugs. When I turn on the ignition I do hear what I believe to be my Vboost system engaging. Looks like the carbs are not seated down as far as they can go. Will do that tonight. Keeping fingers crossed. Not bad for a 44 year old dude. ;):eusa_dance:

This is very possible. The motor sounds ok. It's 100% stock. I may not have seated the carbs down enough. I don't hear the VBoost thing. Is it common for the Vboost to stop working?

Just finished cleaning the carbs. I did NOT drill off the caps and re-do the fuel air screw. The bike now idles fine. When I take it to red line and shift it wants to almost studder. The pull seems linear if not a tiny bit exponecial. In other words it pulls pretty evenly throughout the...

I just measured my bars. 27 and a 1/2 inches.... Jez... My Harley was 32 inches. How wide are the euro bars? I don't need any more pull back, not rize, just wider. But I also don't want to have to change wires, tubes etc.

My zx10r will beat a busa. lol And I NEVER ride the damned thing. Uncomfortable as hell. And I thank god every time I get off of the thing. My first gear goes 104 MPH! BTW: That is stock. It wheelies at will in first through 3rd. F it man, I'm 44... I don't need any more of that crap.

Sounds dumb and my experience on this bike has been one terrible ride home with dirty carbs. (Just fixed) But two things seemed obvious to me: 1. The handlebars on these bikes are simple too narrow. 2. The tach is more important than the speedometer, but you have this HUGE speedometer in front...

:rofl_200: Got it. :)

Thanks Mike... Is that 1.117 inches?

I'm confused. Perhaps you guys can help shed a bit of light on this. First off this is what I see when I open the floatss on unaltered carbs from an 01. And here is where I am measuring from. And this is the reading I have. Am I measuring from teh correct place? Do these floats need...

Those little rubber things are a bear to get back in place. Do they have to go a specific direction? Also, about drilling out the A/F screw... Is this something that I NEED to do? I don't want to mod my vmax at all. It only has a few thousand miles on it and I'm sure that comming off my...

What role do these rubber things play? Do I need to have them installed?:ummm:

Cool... Got the Jet block out and cleaned. But none of these things look dirty. How important is it that I get the A/F screw out? I'm concerned about drilling on my carbs. My drill bits are not the best and I'm concerned I may do some damage. Is this needed to cleanthe carbs?

The article still doesn't show how to remove the "Jet Blocks". And for Christs' sake the author naughtyG's avitar .... I can't take my eyes off of ot. All I see are a GREAT PAIR of ****IES! And I'm suddenly very jelous of my toilet. lol Thanks for the welcome. Looks like I am going to be...

Doesn't look like the float was stuck. This is it with top freshly removed. Can you show me where my idle mixture screw is? How do i remove the "Jet Blocks" and where are teh "Pilot Fuel Jets"?

I did replace them with button heads and I am Glad that I did... Looks like I get to do this over. BTW: If I remove the jet blocks and such will I need new parts to replace them with? I'm not even sure if I know what jet blocks are? Any advise?

FWIW: Almost every single phillips head screw on the carbs had to be removed via an impact driver. Is it possible that I have damaged the carbs? Guess I will go ahead and re-pull the carbs now.:a014:

Would a stuck float make it come out of the hole I listed?

Tapped it with hammer... same thing.. Fuel comes flowing out the air tube, when I clog tha tube it comes out of the hole next to the jet as marked in this picture..????
