    carb tuning

    Hello all, Just got my carb tuning tool in the mail and hooked it up. The reading is bouncier than i expected, but I think I got them pretty close. I attached a video. Do you guys think it looks about right? I also turned up the idle screw so it was idling right at 1000 after the video...

    Carb adjustment question

    I recently cleaned carbs, installed new pilot air adjustment screws set at 3 turns out, did carb sync. I didn't fiddle with new pilot air adjustment and the bike is at a perfect idle, if I bip the throttle it returns nicely to 1000 rpm. When I took it for a ride, I noticed around 4000 to 4500...

    Shotgun only needed on one carb

    So I have one carb that just won't be happy, from what people here have told me they advise the shotgun. I've looked though the instructions, and while it doesn't seem too bad, it also doesn't seem like something I want to try on my own for the first go round. So, I live in Middletown, pa, and...

    One carb not consistent

    I have one carb/cyl that's not firing regularly, pops at times, if I hit it then let off it will backfire a bit. Had the carbs synced last year by the dealer, after I had done it, dealer said they were all outta whack, not sure how since my meter had them all pretty darn close, but figured...

    New Exhaust Carb Tuning Issues

    So I'm taking the plunge into carb tuning. They've always been sort of a black magic to me, but its getting frustrating running with the current setup...... Anyways, I had Danny rebuild the carbs last spring and they came back like this: Jets #90, #170, #155 main Stg 7 needles on 3rd clip...

    Carb or Fuel Pump

    Vmax came out of storage, and is running a bit rough. Trouble maintaining idle, no issues with acceleration. Intermittently couching as well. Was stored with seafood in the tank. Any ideas? Nick

    Looking for a single carb.

    It looks like the A/f mixture drew monster latched onto my VMAX :( . I tried drilling and extruding it out with no luck. I'm hoping someone has a single stock carb they would like to get rid of cheap that has good A/F mixture port.

    Carb sync issues on an '88 Vmax

    I'm trying to sync my carbs with a new Motion Pro tool. The picture shows where the fluid stays no matter what I do. If I turn the A/F stews on #4 or #2 all the way in the bike acts like it will stall. #1 or #3 turning the A/F screw all the way in does nothing. Bike sounds normal at idle and...

    Carb sync loan.

    Would anyone be ok with loaning me their carb sync tool? Things have been a little tight lately to fork out the cash to buy one, and I really need to fix this bike up. I've seen some videos for these homemade manometers but I just cant see that being accurate enough. Im in New Orleans, Louisiana.

    Carb parts needed.

    In a criminal act I let the Vmax sit for too long and now the carbs are all mucked up. Looks like I need one air screw, slide diaphragms, and gasket kits. Without spending hours searching, can anyone point me to the go to place for carb parts?

    Shotgun complete, A/F (sorta) adjusted, carb syncing question

    Where I left off, the "shotgun" fixed my bad idle/ low power question. Today I decided to try to sync the carbs and to futz with the air-fuel screws. 1) Even if I tightened the screw for carbs 3&4 all the way, they still wouldn't go to the same vacuum. Thoughts? 2) Tightening the air-fuel...

    Carb passageway labels?

    Im going through and flushing all the holes and passageways with carb cleaner and some are clogged. Is there a photo set with all the little straw size holes and what they are? I suspect a few arent supposed to connect anywhere and will always spray back at me but a few are concerning. I...

    A/F mix screw stuck. Will a 1300 Venture carb fit?

    I've been reading and trying to get the A/F mixture screw out of the right rear carb. Can't get it out. My question is this: can I buy a 34mm carb from a 1300 Venture, dusassemble both carbs, swap the jets and replace just one carb?

    Dirty carbs or needing a jet kit?

    Pulled the carbs on an 01 Vmax project ive been working on (previous owner let it sit for 5-6 years), cleaned em out and replaced parts with fresh carb kits. Everything is back together and running, she pulls great right up until about 4k. It doesnt die, but the power band drops off...
