fuel

How have you guys got around the tiny fuel tank without spending a grand on the extra tank?

So I have been having issues with my 88 Vmax's fuel pump where before it would cut out when I gave it any throttle and now it doesn't even turn over. I have tried a different fuel pump to the same results AKA not running. It appears to me I am missing both of my little rubber diaphragms inside...

Alright, I'm baffled. This is on a Venture with a Vmax Engine in it (at least from the cylinder block up it is). It's running pig rich at idle and low rpms. Will run a couple days and then cabon fouls the plugs. I tried to adjust the idle fuel screws and discovered that they had no effect if...

Thought I could save the tank, Wrong!! Now I get to rebuild my carburetors. Needs to be rust free. Thanks,

Bike running rough. Checked all four drain screws on carbs. One front carb had a very small amount of fuel when the drain was unscrewed. The other had nothing. The two rears flowed freely. What's going on with this thing

Hello all There is any chance to find a vmax fuel sender with changing resistance ? I need 0 – 90 ohms – and not interested to drill a holes in the tank… the idea is to replace the stock one in the same position and hole I know that’s is long shout…... but still – in this forum...

Hello all I guess owning two vmax’s that mean more posts LOL The issue with the fuel pump on my 85– its seems to have no fuel from the pump when the bike is with a full tank of fuel I tried to read other posts but its won’t help I can tell that: I checked the Fuel pump...

Hello all, long story short, I came across a 92 stage 7 with a 4 into 1 two brothers exhaust, and with what I think is a Dynatec 3000 (a bunch of little dip switches that control timing and rev limiter). Anway, it has been parked with fuel in it for the last 8 years. Cleaned the carbs, tank, and...

Hey guys. New owner here. Just bought my 05 last fall and only put a few hours on it before putting it away for the winter. When I started it last weekend I had fuel leaking from under the faux tank. When I removed it I found 2 rubber hoses on each side of the airbox running up from underneath...

I have a 05 max and I am getting a fuel smell and some brownish liquid in the airbox and filter. smells like old gas, but doesn't have the flammability I would expect from gas. #1 carb seems like it is popping a little and I seem like I have performance issues and popping noises until about...

Good condition $50 shipped

So I start the bike yesterday and I make it a block before I run out of gas. Fuel pump turns on 6 or so seconds and I open all 4 drains and there is gas in each one. Bike will not run and any choke or throttle kills it. Push it home and take the seat off and when I hit the starter button I hear...

I was pretty concerned about the fuel tank on my 97 build but was to busy sorting through all the parts to check out the tank. It took some penetrating oil just to get the cap off, not a good sign. The rust had completely filled in the neck, side to side rust. This could be worse than i...

I really want to add a fuel gauge to my 86 VMax I've seen where a sending unit can be mounted in the tank. No problem there. But I'm having trouble finding the right combination of parts to clamp a fuel gauge to the handlebar. Has anyone successfully done this? I can't seem to find a 7/8...

So I bought my bike used and it ran pretty damn well. Then I started tinkering... Actually I did the shot gun method because my bike started running like pooh; loss of power and backfires. So worked better after shotgun method. Then crap again. I noticed fuel filter was full of rust. Crap...

Bike is stock 2006. Started getting a pretty strong fuel smell out of the airbox. Openned it up and everything looks OK. Checked around and no visible leaks. Bike starts/runs great, but people are asking me if it has a fuel leak - you can smell it that strongly. All coming out of the airbox...
