Does anyone know the size of the inlet on the fuel filter on the max?.

I just bought a 1998 VMAX with Marks 4 into 2 pipes spark plugs seem a little rich does anyone know what the jetting should be? I'm at sea level maybe a 100-200 above it in California. I'm only getting 22MPG that seems a lot low to me for a bike and the last cruise I did I made sure I kept it...

Been having some trouble with my 2006 vmax. Well started trying to figure if the carbs need going through which would have been a suprise considering that after the shotgun and sync. it was running better than ever. I found that I was getting no fuel to the back left carb because I couldn't get...

Is there a difference in fuel (main) jets vs air jets? or are they one in the same just different sizes and makes, mikuni/DJ, Thanks.

Can I put an extra fuel filter after my fuel pump and before the carb inlet? I think a tiny speck of something has blown out of my fuel pump and clogged my pilot jet in carb #1 (It makes no vacuum until about 2500 rpm). This is extremely frustrating, as I thought things were going to be ok when...

Anyone ever have a leak at the big brass plug at the fuel inlet to the carb?

Does anyone know this dimension? Thanks in advance :biglaugh:

OK so I'm in the process of trying to bring my dad's old vmax back to life... and I was hoping today was the day I'd get'er started back up! Turns out I was wrong. The bike can't draw fuel out of the tank... I'm not sure why, but I even disconnected the fuel filter and tried to draw some by...

What is the normal fuel pressure on a carbureted bike?

So I have read all the numerous issues regarding fuel pumps that never stop running during the initial start up. This is my issue also. I have taken the fuel pump apart and low and behold the rubber seal that is spoken about was out of place. I replaced it and it seems to help a little??? Maybe...

I have a scenario for the pros here. I actually have a preety good grasp of electrical diagrams and such but am having issues. I am hoping I can mention them and hopefully someone has some insite. First is that there has been chat on here, and a lot of verification I see from Sean that when...
