air or fuel

I have 'full power' Vmax, The brass plugs that covered the air/fuel mix screws have been removed and they have been replaced with rubber plugs (to keep out the dirt and water). The bike has an aftermarket exhaust also, so some alterations to the carbs settings has obviously been done in the...

Hello all. I was in the military for 30 years, so I have no problem blindly following instructions. But I'm going to sync my carbs again and I'm wondering why do I need to back the air fuel screws out a turn first?

Went to local bike night tonight and saw 3 other gen1 vmaxes, and one of them had a small (about 1&1/2 inch diameter) A/F gauge mounted in his faux tank. It looked like an older gauge, and seemed to have lights that lit up the different sections, ie: very lean, lean, rich ,very rich. I did a...

I'm not 100 % positive but it just seems like my 2002 Vmax is running rich at idle and low RPM. I know from past experience they all seem to smell rich at idle but this one is over the top to me. My question is whether it would be worth it to drill out the plugs and attempt to change the mixture...

I need to clean out my a/f screws and ports because it's a little hesitant. I'd like to know the stock setting for them. I saw someone had theirs set 3 turns out so I wasn't sure if that was stock or not. Anyway, other than this little problem the bike is road ready. There's a starter from an...

Anybody used the LM-2 Innovate motorsports air/fuel wide band kit? 559 $ with bells and whistles Some threads vote positively towards the older LM-1 ( 379 $ on fleabay with rpm signal cable) Looked at Dynojet wideband commander too :ummm: but felt more at ease with the Innovate ( maybe just a...

One of the carbs on my 85 max has a screwed up air/fuel mixture tread in the carb. I measured the pitch and it is .5(really fine pitch), But I am not sure the size. I think it is 6mm. Anybody had this problem. I can only get the air fuel screw down about 2.5 turns, so I know the threads in the...

Finally have the bike running very well. Now that everything else seems to be OK, I have noticed that if I ride the bike to work, and come out to go to lunch 4 hours or so later, it won't idle unless I choke it. I have the A/F screws 3 turns out, and this seems to fix the problem, but that...

I know some of you asked about putting an Air/fuel monitor and gauge on the bike. It shouldnt be too hard. The hardest part will be welding the O2 sensor bung into the exhaust pipe. I believe it will work better on a 4-2-1 header because you will get a reading from all 4 cylinders. On a dual...

Does anyone know how to remove the air/fuel screws after they have been damaged? The A/F screw heads on 2 of my carbs are damaged due to being ripped out by trying to turn corroded in screws. They were flathead, but now look like the safety screws used in bathroom stall dividers, aaand the...

Hello all, well here it is...a friend of mine recently bought a max. He basically bought it because I brag about how great my 06 is, and that if he picked up an old one, he'd find that they are not much different. Problem: The bike cranks over really really really slow....it almost...
