    1997 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 carb, damn it!

    It is spitting fuel out the breather. Pipes are not new. High flow air intake mod. It is reversion, to the best of my knowledge. Carb has been rebuilt. Suggestions please before I Ebay it piece by piece!

    Carb Synchronizing - General Comment

    Do y'all appreciate the ease of carb syncing on our V-Max? I certainly do. Everything is so quick and accessible! My first carb sync was on a 1981 Honda CB900F. I followed the manual... Step 1: Loosen the rear fender and move back Step 2: Loosen battery box and move back Step 3: Remove air...

    Carb jet?

    I traded my 86 max for a 2003 with 8k miles on it. It ran strong til I came to a stop at my house where it stumbled and stalled. I decided to look at the carbs and saw this thing poking out when I pulled the needle out. How do I get this jet in? It doesn't seem to want to screw in....

    Stumble Under 2.5k RPM?

    When I throttle over 1/4 to 1/3 and the bike is under 2500 rpm it will stumble and almost make a tst tst tst sound while giving zero power beyond the amount it starts to stumble at. I've also noticed that it will do the tst tst sound when i go past about 1/3 choke. Any idea what it could be?

    Carb Tuning at altitude

    I found an archived article related to carb tuning for people in Denver, however it appears to be for stock exhaust setups. I have a single K&N filter and UFO 4-2-1, I upped my main jets to 155 after putting the exhaust on. Does anyone have modification suggestions based on this document for...

    Observations on my carb main needles

    I am still fighting an overall low vacuum problem on my 1986 Venture. However I have it running what seems to be good. Synced the carbs using a few pieces of 24 gauge wire in the throttle plates. Then of course curiosity reared its head. Could my main needles be affecting the idle circuits...

    Carb experts advice

    Long story short: Bike has been stored wet for the last year (seafoam and StaBil with fresh gas). When started, the bike starts and will idle on the choke as long as I keep the RPM above about 1500. Below that, it stalls out. Regardless of the choke setting or RPM if I so much as touch the...

    Broken Carb body...anyone have any ideas

    I put my carbs back on after adjusting the float levels, went to start the bike, and gas was pouring out the right rear carb. I checked the screws and one was very loose. Turns out I must have over tightened it and snapped off the bottom corner of the carb. Anyone have any ideas on a fix? Or a...

    1989 VMAX carb fouling and rebuild.

    I did this write up so that if I ever need to do again, it’ll be available. My 1989 VMAX wouldn’t run anywhere near idle without choke starter. After several partial clean attempts, I gave up, totally removed carburetors, and rebuilt. This is a summary of parts of the rebuild that I hope...
