carb

Hi guys. I just acquired a 2001 V-Max that has been sitting garaged for 4 years now. It only has 9700 miles and looks perfect. The carbs were NASTY. Everything inside was gunned up and nothing would move. I took the entire thing apart and cleaned in Chem-Dip. All the parts look new and...

Just picked up a 98 model that's been DynoJett'd, 155's according to the documentation I was given, including a dyno run where it pulled 110 hp and 77 lbs of torque. It looks like there are stock needles in the kit too, so assumed they've been added too, bike has Slip-on Trapps with 14 discs...

Hey guys, let me just explain first that where I am there is not a lot of good mechanics for me to just go and drop off my bike and explain my problem and pass by a few days later to pick my fixed bike up. Where I am, I go through one hell of a hassle just to find replacement levers for my...

Hi guys, Has anyone got a good setup using factory pro y11-10 kit? In the big picture, I want to go stage 7 with pods, but now I've got a stock air box, drop in k&n, ufo headers and mufflers. I'm using dynojet stage 1 needles, when I used the factory-pro needles, it would splutter at 6k, then...

Hey I dont have my air compressor handy.. So I was wondering if I can do the same trick I did to my V65 magna- Pull the low speed carb screws and just blast in some b-12 chemtool carb spray.. then re assemble.. Will that work as a decent alternative to the "shotgun" cleaning method? She runs...

Good morning. After going through the forums I've found a lot of useful information however didn't feel any of the threads answered my question. First off, this is what I have and repairs I've performed. Own a stock 1998 1200cc VMAX. No mod's have been done to this bike. Maintenance I've...

I've been looking around the forums for about an hour, because I know my question has been asked before. I'm sure I'm just not using the right search terms.. so sorry for the repeat :) I am syncing my carbs for the first time. I am using the weber sync tool that sits on top of the carb...

Working on an 85, bought non-running. It has a 4 into 1 Holeshot exhaust and factory airbox setup. I took the carbs apart and rebuilt them with a kit, cleaned it all up and put it back together. The previous owner said that he never did anything to the carbs when he put the Holeshot on it...

Ok, I have been searching and searching. Everyone keeps saying for gas to come out of the top vent tube is a stuck float. I have pulled the rack and cleaned them, twice. I have also switches the float valve with the one next door and it's still leaking. Could the float itself not be floating...

My bike is rich at anything less than 3k or so at wot. That's with stage 7 needles. It doesn't do it with stock needles, but I can't adjust them properly. Wouldn't drilling the slides actually make it pull the needle slower in a wot situation? It seems like it would require more vacuum, which...

I broke off 1 of the carbs drain spout, To fix it - I drill out the back off the drain with a small drill bit. I install a silicone hose size 5/32" and wire tied so I don't pull through the drain plate holder. And extended all drain hoses about 5.5" to hang out so don't spill any gas on the...

Yesterday i had my airbox off while the bike was running, i looked into the mouth of the carb as i was giving it gas and saw a spark jump from the needle to the body of the carbs.....i have recently taken apart my spark plug boot to clean the insides so i'm thinking this may be part of the...
