    To rebuild or not to rebuild

    Another update: Received my rebuild kit a few days ago, couldn't wait to tear into it so i spent the last two days working on that. I've learned a few things; It isnt hard to rebuild the carburetor itself, i actually enjoyed the process overall (other than that ****ing airbox hose, i wish i had...

    To rebuild or not to rebuild

    Alright so heres an update: A few days ago I had a chance to tear down the airbox and ran the bike for a few minutes to see if there were any obvious leak points, nothing pissing out too much so my guess is its a slow leak caused by the float or a pooched o ring somewhere. I did notice someone...

    To rebuild or not to rebuild

    Wow I am loving the level of detail you guys are going into on this, the more the better. I did do a test similar to Parminio's suggestion by shining my light into the carb area and looking for anything actively leaking while the bike was idling and didnt see any active leaking it mostly looked...

I bought a kit from ebay that had the K L part number in the listing name, appeared to look...

    To rebuild or not to rebuild

    Hey fellas, so ive noticed on my new to me Vmax that there was a bit of a fuel leak in the carb (not too heavy but enough to make the front two carbs wet on intake/carb joint and some of the carb body) while reading the forum it seemed checking the wet float levels would be a simple way of...
