    Major carb lean problem

    I have a 2003 vmax with 9,000 miles (original owner). Engine developed major off throttle miss and I am stumped. Engine will idle decently, but opening throttle results in major stumble. If I apply choke, acceleration is better, but not good. If I spray ether into carbs it revs right up. This...

    Brass plug missing for needle valve seat

    Anyone know where to get a brass pressed plug that goes into the carb housing where the needle valve sits? The previous owner knocked it out while trying to rebuild the carbs and I can't see them on the parts listing. Attached a pic to see the gaping hole left behind after his handywork. :bang...

    Keyster carb kit

    Hi All, i just bought an 85 vmax (my second) and the carbs were already off; someone started rebuilding them. My question is this, the keyster kit comes with a 90 main jet which looks way smaller than the one currently in the carbs. It looks like more of a match for the PAJ1 but the kit...

    Strange Carb Sync Problem

    Hey guys, been awhile. Have something really weird going on. Inherited a relatively new carb rack from a friend. Put them on my bike and started doing a sync. The first 2 steps work just fine, but when I try to sync the right bank with the left, I have the sync screw completely bottomed out...

    Drilled out stock Exhaust carb issues

    Hello all. I am new to the Vmax and have a problem that is stumping me. I bought a 2005 with 7k miles, but the previous owner had removed the plates on the rear of the stock exhaust pipes (ground off the rivets), and drilled the holes out to about 1/2 inch - all five holes. Sounds pretty...

    Update on my carb sync

    Well finally got my homemade synchronizer to work. Instead of the plastic gatorade bottles i used two glass pickle jars and it worked perfect. I'm extremely surprised at how much better my bike runs now. Throttle response is much crisper. I only took it for a quick spin down the road but i can...

    Overall opinion after carb swap!

    So I traded the Vgas set up to Sean for his carbs w/ vboost and morley's kit/stage 7 needle and spring. His carb rack and intake manifold were in top notch condition where as my carbs could use a good overhaul/tuning. I got his package in last night and quickly bolted things together just to...

    Carb Diaphragms Now Available

    Hey guys a just a heads up, I've been waiting months for genuine carb slides/diaphragms. Apparently there were none left in Japan or US so we had to wait for next manufacturing run. I have just been told they have shipped this batch, but they only made 100. If you are after some now is the time...

    Carb leak question

    I spotted a leak after the bike sat overnight, noticed a spot on the floor. At first I thought it was an oil leak, but it's definitely gas, my whole garage smells of gas today. It was only a few drops actually on the ground, but I then noticed that there is a film all over the left side of...

    Carb Drain Screw

    So, I made the mistake of leaving my bike sitting, sad I know but Uncle Sam called, for two months without putting any fuel stabilizer into the gas. Came back two months later, and the bike will turn over but not start up. Made worse by the 30 degree weather outside, though it is...

    question about carb needle assembly

    This is my first time posting so forgive me if its in the wrong place. I've been changing jets and needles and I think I must be missing a part . I can see in diagrams of a needle holder which I don't seem have. To be clearer I have a 85 vmax that I bought used and bought Morley kit. I have the...

    No Carbtune reading on #2 carb

    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...

    Carb flooding - not float related

    Got fuel spewing from the main jet on one of my carbs. Pulled the carb apart and needle seat and float clean and working well. I'm going to do a complete rebuild and assume the issue is the o-ring under the jet block. Are there any other common source of problems I should be looking for? Thanks...
