Da Lil' Boss facing off Da Boss

Just put the max away for winter hibernation and noticed the front 2 cylinder plugs were a bit scorched on the bottom of the rubber caps. Next season, I have to see where my AF Screws are, in relation to the back 2, and make them a bit richer. All plugs looked to have a light tan color and the...

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...

I put one of G's COPs kit on my bike never rode another VMAX other than mine but I don't think it's making full power (I don't think it ever did). Smells rich If this is correct orrientation front 1 4 2 3 back I just did a shotgun on the carbs and sync'd. I don't beleive this is a new...

So after fixing all my electrics the old '86 ran fine... for a few days. Then it started missing, and then feeling like it was running on 3 pots, only going to full power when in higher revs. I thought it might be the #2 coil, as I had noticed a break in the insulation of one of its wires. I...

Looking for carb bodies #1 and #2. I over drilled the pilot screw hole trying to remove a frozen pilot screw. :bang head::bang head::bang head:

I performed the shotgun procedure on two of my carbs. The #1 carb was backfiring and I fixed this by sealing a small hole on the diaphragm attached to its slide. I noticed after doing the procedure that the #2 carb created a mist above the carb. You can see it if you look closely on this...

Last week I decided to clean my carbs due to finding rust in the fuel filter and lack of power at WOT, bike sounded like a helicopter.. Yanked the carbs, cleaned, and reset the float levels. Put it all back together. Resynced the carbs and Pulled #1 spark plug wire, no difference in idle...

Hi, I've read the Forum re. stuck floats & I attempted the following, with gas spilling first out of overflow tubes at carb., then corrected that area, then overflow into breather tubes, while all the time gas was flowing into the exhaust. No I didn't explode.:damn angry: I did the following...

I have a 1997 VMax that is fouling the #1 LH FWD and #2 LH Rear spark plugs. The bike is new to me so I do not know the history of the maintenance. Is the coil the same for both the LH cylinders?

Decided I never had checked the float level on this thing, this is my first max only had it 4 three months. So took it part all the levels were way off they went all the way up so I'm sure this has been some of my problems always smelled gassy. So adjusted put back on went to start gas stared...

Well the dirty carb ***** finally bit me! Took the day off to go on a ride with the wife, and about 5 minutes into it, the bike develops a slight miss and pop at steady throttle. After about 10 minutes, it goes away and then comes back about 2 hours later. I took the advice here and let the...

so, went riding today on the vmax, feel everything out... apparently the rear spring (progressive) somehow popped up past the damper screw. how do i tighten down the spring enough to put it back in its place? Basically right now, the spring and shock are in two separate parts :confused2:

So I picked up what I've been looking for for a while, and it was FREE! It's pretty rough, and about the going rate for a bike like this in this condition, but I don't care, I have the building blocks I need to start with on the bike. The XS 650 The engine seems to be siezed at the moment, so...

I assume the float level is too high or the float needle is sticking on my #2 carb because fuel oozes out around the rubber intake manifold boot and down the engine. It's been doing this a while and now it has wrinkled the chrome plated plastic H cover on that side. What do you guys advise I...

I'm trying to sync my carbs and I'm having problems with the #2 carb. I am using a Carbtune 2 and I can't get enough vaccum to move the #2 rod up at all. I swapped the #1 and #2 tubes and the guage works fine. I messed around with the pilot screw as well as the #1/#2 sync adj screw. When I blip...

I didn't pay much attention to the spark plug wires when I took them off the front coils. So naturally when I went to put them back on, I couldn't figure out which coil goes to which cylinder. The only picture in the manual doesn't show which is which either! So I assumed the left coil went to...
