It pops? '85 vmax

[oz1961]

I have to check the float levels in the next few weeks but I have this feeling that the problem is electrical.

I can be sitting at the lights and suddenly I feel the motor miss or pop

then it idels fine again

When it is reving I dont feel a miss at all.

While I know I should adjust the float level the problem seems elecritcal

I changed the plugs but the problem continued

I checked the leads and couldnt see any cracks or evidence of shorting out so I am wondering if it is one of the two coils up under the airbox.

Any advice or suggestions would be great

Vincent, try backing your mixture screws out to see if it changes. The shotgun may help also.

Does it sound more a fuel problem than electrical?

I got a lot popping with cracked boots between carbs and intakes, I couldn't find leaks with starter spray but changed boots and it helped. If they look cracked, I'd say that change them.

That's tough to answer but I would concentrate on the fuel side of things first.

Check Ya carb boots as Mr. Max said. Mine didn't seem to have leaks either, but they were hard as rock. After changing them out (top and bottom), problem solved. No more popping. Wish Ya luck

If it's non of the above it could be an un-healthy charging system;

If you want your carbs gone thru and done right send them to Dannymax. He goes thru them and replaces any part in question and puts them on his test engine to make sure they are ready to ride, trouble free, pending every thing else is operating like it should on your bike.
