    No Carbtune reading on #2 carb

    Upon further checking the VBoost cable slides up and down when the key is turned on & off. The engine will idle smooth at 1300rpm & above. Carbs 1, 3 and 4 are synced according to the carb tune, but still no reading by #2 on the carb tune. I am stumped! Do not really want to pull the rack of...

    No Carbtune reading on #2 carb

    The exhaust temp is the same after warming up, and plugs are new and I just pulled them and they are all burning the same. One thing I just noticed was the VBoost cable is loose at the lower attachment block where it connects the VBoost cable to that black box thingy. Could that have any effect...

    Also the AF screws are currently at 2-3/4 turns, but I have tried them from 1.5 to 3.5 turns out.

    No Carbtune reading on #2 carb

    The funny thing is 3 days ago when I did the 1st shotgun I had a reading on #2 carb on the carbtune, but it still would not idle without a little enricher on. So I gave it 2 more treatments thinking there was still some crap in the carbs. I wonder if using compressed air I caused something to...

    No Carbtune reading on #2 carb

    Yes I did that and no matter what hose I have hooked up yo #2 there will be no reading. I started the bike and pulled the hose off of #2 and held my finger over the nipple and felt a slight vacuum about the same as #1. The bike still will not idle below 1500 rpm and requires the enricher to be...

    No Carbtune reading on #2 carb

    I need some advice, my 93vmax with 23k would not stay running without the choke on. It has been sitting for 3 months due to the S. Texas heat. I decided to do the "shotgun" procedure which I have successfully done many times. When I started the bike and let it warmup, I could not get a reading...

    4 brush starter?

    I asked a few of these "FleaBay" venders if the starters were 2 or 4 brush and they relied they were 2 brush. So, I would say before you bid or buy ask the seller!

    Carb Woes.....Help !!!!

    If plugs are white on the tips; means it is a "lean" condition. Continuing to run motor in this condition especially at high RPM can result in "burning" holes in the pistons. Carbs need to be checked further and also make sure you have the right heat range of spark plugs in the bike. Good Luck.

    Shotgun Procedure

    Just wanted to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the many members who took the time to answer questions, submit pics and step-by-step instructions on maintaining the Max. I had the no idle, no low speed power, throttle not retuning to idle, etc. I first did the "peashooter"...

    EMGO air filters without correctors?

    Hi, Iv'e been lurking here for a while. I just installed this Emgo filter system on my 93. I am not running the connectors/rubber stacks. Don't know yet about the increase in mileage claim but after running the bike for 60 miles, here is what I know: Warm-up is smoother and requires less choke...
