screw

I cleaned my idle circuits on my stock 2001 vmax following the http://vmax.lvlhead.com/tips/shotgun.htm method. While I was at it, I replaced all four idle needle valves. My question is, when I turn the idle screw out, does it richen, or lean out the mixture? What is a good baseline number of...

Does anyone know where this screw goes on the carbs. Also, how far to I back out the pilot screw initially after a carb cleaing? Thanks, Bill

anyone happen to know what size OEM is phillip head screws that hold the carb slide on? want to replace with some nice SS hex head bolts, have a big assortment here at work. Michael

Hi all, Sean's in the process of looking to see what he has, but does anyone near central Indiana have a mixture screw they could part with? I'm willing to drive a bit if so. Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to offer. All the best- Devin

anyone know of a local place that I might be able to get the idle mixture screws WASHER? just the washer, found one missing, maybe radioshack? Michael

After wiping the floor around the bike with a wet paper towel.I've given up on finding the oring that flew the coop while shotgunning the carbs.Where can I get these and the washers also.

So, I made the mistake of leaving my bike sitting, sad I know but Uncle Sam called, for two months without putting any fuel stabilizer into the gas. Came back two months later, and the bike will turn over but not start up. Made worse by the 30 degree weather outside, though it is...

I thought I was going crazy...couldn't find the screw...so I checked Naughty G's strip down pdf...there it was...where it should be...so I relooked at my carbies......just a solid brass slug.....??????????

Hi I just purchased a 98 vmax and the only way it will idle is with the choke a little on. The previous owner had the carbs rebuilt over the winter. I don't think has rode it but once since. How do i adjust the idle (pic please) and is there anything I can do to help it idle better. Once it gets...

I did not know what these were until I got a manual. The manual says they are preset. Does this mean that they should be screwed all the way in. I note that attempting to "adjust" them gives variable results but the left front carb sends the rpms through the roof when I close it completely...

Sometime my A/F air fuel screws will came out of sync. I was trying few ways to make them hold up longer with out using something on the a/f screw to stay longer. I tried a few different things and this is what I came up with and it works for me. I been riding the bike hard and took to the...

Hi, I was just about to tear down my forks but then i saw this: How am I supposed to remove this kind of bolt? The service manual shows a regular allen bolt...

Hello. Great forum!!! First time posting here, hope correct spot. Anyway, I have small amount of fuel leaking from the drain screw on my left side rear carb. Is there an o-ring that goes on the screw? Or is my bowl flooded? Just bought the bike and learning. My Y on airbox is missing causing it...

Hello all, So, new to my Vmax and with the cold she is running a bit rough. Any idea where the idle speed control screw(s) is so I can adjust it? Thanks, Nick

Before you guys blast me, I know I screwed up. Don't know why I was successful on three carbs and I failed on one. What did I do? Several years ago, I removed (3 of the 4) mixture screw plugs in my '94. I was only partially successful on the 4th. Yeah, I now know the proper technique...

I stripped one of my sync screws out! Pulled out my spare parts carbs and they have been modified due to the same problem. The 1st pic is my stripped screw hole the 2nd is my parts carbs. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this? I have some ideas but I'm looking for some more...

I've been looking around the forums for about an hour, because I know my question has been asked before. I'm sure I'm just not using the right search terms.. so sorry for the repeat :) I am syncing my carbs for the first time. I am using the weber sync tool that sits on top of the carb...

A friend of mine got in trouble with a local cop in her town when the in-dash, rearward and forward facing cameras (runs a high end driver's ed class with reviews of each drive with Her students) recorded Her interaction with Him. The cameras are very prominent in the car. She is currently...

I've searched and searched but I cannot find the answer? Does our A/F screw increase/decrease the air mix at idle or the fuel mix at idle? Also, I read that the mikuni choke actually enriches (adds) fuel to the carbs for cold start. Stage 1 jet, UNI filter, and UFO 4-2 street pro exhaust...

Hi, So i removed the vboost intake and it had silicone sealant and oil coming out of one of the screw holes. Is this normal? It isn't leaking oil when driving, only noticed it now when i was gonna change my cracked vboost rubbers. Maybe it was the silicone sealant that stopped it from pouring...
