    Help. Diagnosing problem carb? Plug?

    Thank you. I only check the coils resistance on both rear coils. Not the front. The primary resistance both are 3.6 volts. A little higher than what the manual says which is 2.7V +/- 10%. Here the temp are about 29-30 C. The secondary are a little more than 13K ohm, which I think are within...

    Fuel level gauge / indicator. How to install?

    I figure the bulb is working because it turns itself on then off when starting the bike. But I just don't have any idea how to fix the whole fuel Reserve system, because I never have to switch to Reserve if the fuel level is low. I get no warning. I might just take jfeagins idea and replace...

    Fuel level gauge / indicator. How to install?

    Yes that trip reset is currently my method too.. but 1. Sometimes you forget to reset the trip meter 2. Depending on how you ride, the mileage is not always consistent 3. I'd still have to look and peek inside the tank just to make sure... Anyway to fix the fuel low light and make it...

    Fuel level gauge / indicator. How to install?

    I'm sorry, don't quite understand how/where the sending unit installed to. I don't suppose we need to drill a hole in the tank?

    Fuel level gauge / indicator. How to install?

    Hi, My fuel reserve light doesn't work. (The bulb works, it turns on and then off when I start the bike). But many times I'm running empty without even knowing. So, I would love to get one of these installed on my vmax. A fuel level gauge/indicator...

    Setting all four A/F blindly to 2 1/4 turn. Is that OK?

    Thank you, Peashooter would not be necessary if I've done the shotgun, right? Or should I? Dennis, are you suggesting there's a vacuum leak even if my carbs are all sync'ed and balanced? With aftermarket exhaust (everything else is stock), what should I do with the stock A/F? Is it still 2.5...

    Setting all four A/F blindly to 2 1/4 turn. Is that OK?

    thank you guys.. jfeagins, thank you for sharing. I'm going to try your method, not sure if I can do it correctly but I'll try. Nice trick with lowering rpm to "hear" each cyl as you tune. Well, I spoke a little too soon. I guess I was a little too excited. The bike still has problems...

    Setting all four A/F blindly to 2 1/4 turn. Is that OK?

    Maybe I should change all plugs first? Those plugs now had been used for a while with previous settings. So I dont think they reflect current setting. Right? Thank you

    Setting all four A/F blindly to 2 1/4 turn. Is that OK?

    Thanks... As of right now.. I'm happy with the performance. What I'm worried about is whether I'm actually running to rich or too lean in the long run...

    Setting all four A/F blindly to 2 1/4 turn. Is that OK?

    Setting all four A/F screws blindly to 2 1/4 turn. Is that OK? Hi Appreciate your comments and suggestions. I'm really not knowledgeable enough about carb. Anyway here's the story. Stock carb, custom exhaust. The PO messed up. Carb setting was way off. On idle the bike seemed to be...
