gas

Hello all, I haven't been able to ride my bike to much the last week or so, today I got out of work and went in my garage noticed a slight gas smell and a very small dip under my bike. I didn't think much of it so i pulled the bike out and started it. Gas starting leaking from what seemed...

so i have had issues with my fuel sender and took the tank out yesturday only to discover a small hole that looks like its been drilled in the top of my tank. Does anyone know if there should be a hole here or not? second question, when you guys fill your tank do you fill it to the very...

hey theres a hose attached to the top of the gas tank it keeps spitting out gas, I was wondering how to stop it, i took off hose to see what causes it, and its just pressure building up in tank, then causing it to spit up, any tips would appreciate it thanks!

Want to change my gas filter, some folks say go to the glass type so all you need to do is change inside filter. I believe someone else said you can pick one up at a local auto parts that will fit the Vmax. I assume it is a 5/16 hose type, and the filter element can handle the ethanol in gas...

I have a 97 Vmax with a stage 7 kit on it. With the k& n filters off I can see gas puff out of the left rear carb when I hit the throttle hard. I just thoroughly cleaned the carbs. What is causing this? Any help will be appreciated greatly. Thanks

Well i finally got the 85 fired up and running today.It ran fine for a while,so i cut it off and let it sit for a few hours.Well when i went back,it ran just as good,if not better untill it just died.A quick look at my see through fuel filter told me that either someone is making molasses and...

my bike has been sitting for about 3 years now, i need to have the bike inspected, and the MC Mechanic i went to recommended having the gas tank cleaned because ethenol in the gas now forms condensation in the tank, thus causing particulates to form. i felt around with my finger in the take and...

So I am trying to figure out why I am only getting like 90 miles til my fuel light. I started with trying to check my float bowl levels the right side seams fine but than tring to check the right I couldn't get gas to come out the tub. It would leak out by the screw if I unscrewed it enough I...

my stock '89 has been sitting in a garage for years. the gas is all separated and smells like varnish. tried to install a new battery and start it; gas is pumping out of those vent lines that route to the air intake scoops on top of the air box {not the fake ones; the ones under the faux tank}...

Took my weed eater to the Stihl dealership because it was running sick and was still in warranty. The guy asked me if I had gas in it that contained ethanol. I told him yes , I filled the tank about two months ago. He poured it out and put fresh gas in it and it ran just fine. He told me that...

I ran across this tonight and knew some of you would appreciate it if you havnt seen it. http://www.modifiedpowerwheels.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17704&whichpage=1

I gave this Carbine the nickname "Fugly 45" :biglaugh: I built it as a PDW for in home defense. The upper is by Ron Williams, it's a 10.5" barrel / 5.5" flash hider. on a DPMS High Ride Receiver, The lower is a Spike's Tactical, Standard DPMS Parts Kit with the exception of a JP Reduced...

Ok, sort of hard to explain, but basically when i am rolling along any speed (eg 35mph for example), i am holding the throttle slightly open to maintain speed. Instead of giving an even Purrrrrrrrrrr sound, it almost sounds like it is missing, but you can give it boot and it does not miss at...

Hey I just bought a 96 vmax last weekend, I got it for a great price so I couldn't say no. I noticed that it chugs down at lower RPM especially when starting out. I also noticed that it is leaking gas out of the exhaust pipe. Seems like a fouled plug to me but I have to wait till morning to...

My bike mech said my VBoost motor was broken and wired open my carbs.Do I now have permanent VBOOST?What miles per tank should I get?I had a 101 miles on a tank.Does that sound about right? Also,what is T-Boost?Is there such a thing? Somebody sell me a vboost motor.... Philip

Bought a 06 Vmax beginning of this year. Carbs were gummed up bad. Had Joe at Boxenstopp clean and adj carbs (4/1 Kerker pipe). Have not gotten over 30 mpg in town or on road. Is this normal? 2nd issue. After riding the bike for 45 minutes it suddenly started running aweful. Felt like 50%...

I cant get my carbs to pull gas into them?! I have checked all of the hoses from the gas tank exit through the fuel filter(was able to blow through). I even tested the fuel pump a couple of times by hooking up the plug and pumping gas into a jar. ALso i checked to see if maybe the...

I checked fiche on ronayers to see if there were replacable bushings or something for the butterfly shafts but didn't see anything. I'm leaking at the ends of the shafts on a couple carbs. Are there bushings in there or do the shafts ride directly in the carb body? If bushings, where do you...

I love my Max, but I'm starting to get real frustrated. Last year, I was getting gas in the oil, so I yanked the motor and put a 1300 in with all the Vmax top end stuff. Rebuilt the carbs, but apparently not very well. I'm running Supertrapps if that matters. I've got 64 miles on this motor...

Lets start with amzoil 20-50 synthetic oil. I dumped the old oil out that the previous owner had in.The clutch was draging a bit when cold.Had this same issue with my last harley...figured if it worked on that bike, it should work on the max." It did" No more drag.:eusa_dance: So my buddy and I...
