1993 V-Max w/v-boost, 10,500 miles, fresh spark plugs, peashooter and shotgun treatments completed. Would only run with choke on. Took carbs off, cleaned all jets (three of the four pilot jets were clogged). Idles good now, but will not ome off idle, stumbles and blows back thru carbs. Continue to open throttle and it will die. Tried to sync carbs, all carbs are in the red on vacumn gages (3 & 4 at top end of red; 1 & 2 at the bottom end of the red) (red indicates air leak in intake or valve timing problems). Yamaha dealer mechanic says valve clearances should not be a problem at 10.5K miles.
At idle, starter fluid sprayed on boots and intake manifolds cause no reaction in rpm's, same with v-boost connections/boots. The same spray on the rear upper side of carb #1 and front upper side of carb # 4 results in instant increase in rpm's. Also, once sprayed at those locations a single throttle blip will result in coming off idle smoothly to upper rpm's (one time, then it returns to same old problem). This tells me the air leak must be in the carbs themselves and the spray seals the leak for one throttle blip. Any suggestions or experience with this same problem?:bang head:
