Sounds good Dan-o, and if they're not you can even return them!

Bargain.

 

[SpecOps13]

????? Is the choke lever on the wrong side or is the photo flipped??? Price was right...

 

[4gasem]

Says they're venture carbs but they have vmax slide caps on them... Hmm...

[alorio1]

If they have the year right they must be Venture carbs.....83? But still a good buy.

 

[tugla]

the carb bandit strikes again hahahah good job man

Something looks funky there..........the relation of the fuel inlet, vent hoses, carb numbers, throttle cables & choke lever.............

Uh-huh.....and.....:ummm:

 

[Rhoy Carter]

If I remember right the 1200 Venture carbs are 34 mm, the 1300 venture carbs are 35 mm. I am running the 1300 Venture carbs and the choke is on the # 1 carb.

 

[tugla]

If the choke is on the correct/original side and the labeling of carb numbers, he also wrote left and right. then not exactly the same, the vent lines and fuel lines look ok. so maybe just flip the choke over. maybe put together wrong, think size is slightly smaller isnt it dan-o? if they are venture carbs

I think so Rov....far as I know all Venture carbs, starting with the XS1100 Venturer in '81, the 1200cc Ventures from '83-'85, and the 1300cc Ventures from '86-'93 all ran 34mm Mikuni's.

They look right...Mostly...

The choke lever is on the back of the carbs instead of the front relative to where the throttle cables are located?

The bowl vents are pointing the wrong direction? (is it possible to put the bowl covers on the wrong carb?

Or the choke ever is installed on the wrong side?? Is that possible??

The choke lever crossbar link is installed upside down too, it should "arc" up and not down

This picture confuse the hell out of me???

Normal Vmax configuration;

Throttle cables on left
Vents pointing back
Choke lever on front left and crossbar link across the front two carbs
I forget the numbering, I think 3! is front left??


Maybe they are just assembled wrong??

They're definitely assembled wrong! Or numbered wrong....or both!!
They should be:

2 4
1 3

Good question on having the float chamber covers wrong, I think it's a possibility tho, which could explain why the vents point forward instead of backwards.

Dan-O got the croud think'n.
Its like one of those "whats different in this photo" pictures.

[ninjaneer]

definately somethings amiss. the main fuel line hook is supposed to be attached to carb 1 not 4. the choke lever is supposed to be attached to carb 2 on the other side of the main fuel line...that is, if this is for a vmax ;-). The carbs themselves look like what i just got done messing with. Eh, so the PO reassembled them wrong. Shouldn't be a big deal to reassembled correctly, no?

 

[tugla]

ya think just assembled wrong, choke is only half hooked up anyways so for sure its all wrong. think when you get them all apart and cleaned will be put back together properly, have faith you can figure it out since you've done it like 10 million times now no? lol

 

[Rhoy Carter]

86 to 88 venture carbs are 35 mm and the venture had the choke lever on the handle bar with a cable running to the back side of the #1 carb and the choke linkage on the carbs is spring loaded.

The guy said they were Venture carbs. :ummm:

I agree on the choke but here are the specs:

1986 - 1993

​

The earlier model 1200cc Venture was very well received, but still struggling in the marketplace against the Goldwing. For 1986, Yamaha made some changes. Capacity was increased to 1300cc for more power, luggage capacity was increased by 50%, it was fitted with electronically controlled anti-dive forks, and passenger accommodations were enhanced. Despite all the engine improvements and extra power, the new Royale could still pull 45mpg. Changes were kept to a minimum from 1986 until the end of the production run in 1993.

Here are the specifications that I have gathered on the '86-'93 at this time. Thanks to Russell Hicks for his help in compiling this information.

I researched the carbs before I bought them and the spec book at the Yamaha stealership showed the 87 model to be BDS 35 and the Vmax carbs showed to be BDS 35, so now i will have to go back and look at the book again.
