carb

So I need new slides, old are so full of scratches that it can't be good! But is there any place to get them a little cheaper than Yamaha dealer? Also wondering of full carbs rebuild, maybe should take the whole set to a dealer.. But what you guys think, should I install some jet kit like stage...

Took my 2005 max to the dealer finally. Could not get it to run right since I bought it. Anyway, to make a long story short--- dealer says I need a carb rebuild. They want $800. Does that sound right ? Seem way high to me but I want to be done with this so I said go ahead. Did I get screwed ?

Hi, I wonder whats the difference in doing: http://vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=3847&highlight=tune+needle "Main jets have little or nothing to do with fuel mileage unless you are riding above 7500 rpm all of the time . Fuel mileage is mainly a result of..... in order of importance...

Hi, So i just put on UFO exhaust with morley jetkit. I have the air corrector, modified airbox and PCV connected and read on http://www.vmaxoutlaw.com/tech/cv_carb_tuning.htm that you begin with tuning the top end with main jet sizes. The problem is that I can't even get to the top end...

I'm doing a carb sinc tomorrow and I forget which is the master carb #1 or #2------ I tried a search of this section but could not find the info. It is my understanding that the other three carb's sinc to the master, is that correct ? also, does anyone have a pic of the air/fuel screw location...

anyone ever use an emgo carb sync or any one with guages? i bought one cause it was only $64 and after i used it the bike idled rough and had a bit of a stumble. i had the valves barely open to reduce the flutter on the needles and they all read the same. it just didnt run right. so i borrowed a...

So i have made the home made sync tool and sucsessfully set the carb sync pretty close . Now my question is how do Correctly set the A/F screw settings? is it simply by ear or for best RPM? they are preset at 2.5 turns out just at a starting point right now. bike runs pretty good but im guessing...

was doing the shotgun, or pea shooter on my max..... old school trick of spraying cleaner around intake to check for vacuum leaks, i found all my lowwer boots are cracked....... i could have them from a dealer for about $80 bucks!!!! has anyone ever tried measuring the carbs and going to a auto...

I have a stage 7. I've always synced the carbs with vboost off. Can you sync them with vboost on?:ummm: Thanks my VMAX brothers.

Hello, As the title says: Where can I find new or good condition carb diaphragm covers? I'm talking about those cover with the ph2 screw heads that sits so damn tight. I used a vice grip to remove them and accidentally made a fat scratch on one of them... Can't seem to find any OEM motorcycle...

hi again, I just disassembled my carbs from my bike to clean them and i noticed that I didn't need to do anything to unhook my Vboost. Is this normal? I tought that it would be wires to the electrical component or something:ummm: When i start the bike i do hear the two distinct whirring...

Hi, I just installed Morley Jet kit and now it sucks at higher RPMS, I cant even get to 6000 RPM. I did this while i was cleaning my carbs and my new exhaust hasn't arrived yet, so it's still on stock exhaust. The problem is i read CV carb tuning guide and it says if it doesn't pull well my...

A friend of mine who actually exposed me to the Vmax (very grateful), has a stage 7 kit on his. Now I know when I sync my bike, I sync 1 to 2, 3 to 4, and then side to side. My friend with the stage 7 kit is under the impression that the only sync that he can do is from side to side. He believes...

Hi, I just bought Seans Jet kit. Do I have to remove the carbs to clean the inside and rejet or can i do while it's still on the motor? Thanks!

only #1 carb slide moves when at idle ? are the other diaphrams just stiff ? also cleaning diaphrams it was suggested using wd 40 . Do you re install wet or wipe off or let dry . thanks

I'm thinking no, but figured I'd ask. My carbs were cleaned last year by the previous owner, but I let it sit through the winder and I think that caused the float bowl gasket to dry a little. It leaked quite a bit then just a lil after a couple runs. I tried taking the carbs apart, but damn...

Bike has been running great till today.... On the way home, the engine started to stumble a bit at low RPM, but still ran OK at speed. Idle dropped a bit, got pretty raggedy, and I noticed a bit of gas on the right rear carb. Pulling the airbox, I noticed gas coming out the air bleed or jet...

I just bought this because I was looking for the perfect screw driver for the A/F screws on the Vmax. Got it in Saturday.....It fits PERFECT!!! The price isnt too bad either. Its definately cheaper that having to replace stripped screws...

Just curious. In your opinion, how often do you check your carb sync?
