main

I took my main stand off to paint it,now i can't get the spring back on.Does anyone have any tips on getting the spring back in place,i gave up after several attempts.

Aloha everyone. Well, I'm trying to dial in my carbs and she is starving all over the place. I need to change my mains, but not too sure how much bigger I should try. Here is my set up. Morley's muscle jet kit Kerker 4:2:1 Ross Pistons Needle is at second richest slot towards point end...

So I pulled my carbs intent on re checking my float levels ( which i set last summer) Because Ive had a rich condition. I decided before splitting the rack again, I would unscrew the main jet "cap" and check out the jet size. Im not sure why i didnt check them last summer when i had them all...

Has anyone used the large head ebc main jets in their vmax carbs?

Hello, I bought a kerker 2.5' competition baffle, part #100-6400 2 weeks ago. Really perks up the performance but next door neighboor is now babysitting her grandchild ( a few months old) so the pipe has to go. $140 incl shipping in US. I have a K&N airfilter, single that replaces stock...

I am still fighting an overall low vacuum problem on my 1986 Venture. However I have it running what seems to be good. Synced the carbs using a few pieces of 24 gauge wire in the throttle plates. Then of course curiosity reared its head. Could my main needles be affecting the idle circuits...

Anyone going today or tomorrow?

So I fired up the bike at lunch and it died after a minute sitting in the driveway. Saw a little puff of smoke from I don't know where. Needless to say it blew the 30 amp fuse just above the positive terminal on the battery. Pulled sest, tank lid and airbox and can't seem to find anything...

Yamaha special size main jets Don't know if anyone knows or cares but Yamaha makes I guess what would be called half size jets. E.g. between 150 and 152.5. They are used in carbureted snowmobiles. Could be used for fine tuning a Vmax. Here are sizes in the Vmax main jet range and part #'s...

I recently shotgunned the carbs, pulled and cleaned pilot air jet 1 and pilot air jet 2 on all four carbs, and replaced the idle mixture screw assembly (screw, spring, washer, o-ring) on all four carbs (a couple of the originals had a little corrosion on the outside, so I replaced all four)...

I bought an '03 Vmax with the UFO StreetPro 4-2 on it. I've got the carbs apart to clean them because the bike felt and sounded like it was running on three cylinders at 5000+ rpm. (It's fine at light/moderate throttle below 5000.) I noticed the main jets are 170s. I'm concerned those may be...

I have a 1985 Yamaha Vmax with Dale Walker exhaust. I got the bike from a good friend that had pasted away. The Max is in near perfect condition.This is my 4th vmax. It had a bad flat spot at 7000 rpm and had a hard time pulling more rpm. I took it too a guy in my town that is very good with...

Hi, I am getting ready to order a set of main jets on Jetsrus.com and they have the genuine Mikuni main jets for around $6 a piece, then they have the OEM equivalent Mikuni main jets for around half the price. Are these as good? Are they they made to the same tolerance? Prolly being a cheap...

Danny has my carbs and I was wondering what a good size main jet is to start out with on a all stock drive train minus a full length UFO 4-1 exhaust. Thanks

Hi, Would different needles have different optimum main jet size or is optimum main jet the same for all setups? Thanks!

Watch or Read Liberal News and this is exactly what you get. Twisted Facts. This is a Fictitious Story but IT'D BE THIS WAY EVEN IF IT WERE REAL.... A Harley Biker (Could Be Any Biker) is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the...

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...

Hi, I just rebuilt my carbs and when i put it back fuel was pouring out. So i removed the airbox to see where fuel was coming from and it's pouring out the air jets. I tried to cover them with the fingers, the it came out of the tubes that go to the airbox... When i rebuild the carbs i...

Okay having issues with my 89max. I had an issue a few weeks ago while riding. I stopped at a light after doing 150 miles got 3 blocks away from home when bike just died on me. Checked main fuse and it was burnt out. I replaced it with the spare fuse, as soon as I put it in the bike it blew...
