Hey everyone! I just picked up a 2001 VMAX in the carbon. It has 19k miles. When I went for the test drive she fired up fine. Test drive went fine. Nothing major stuck out in my face so I purchased it. The seller said it had the engine removed by the previous owner and bored 30 over and a stage 7 revzilla cam kit (has anyone ever even heard of such a thing??) We did have to jump it because the battery was dead. Get home and now the clutch does not fully disengage. If I try to put it in first from neutral it will jump and die. I have ordered a rebuild kit for the master clutch and will bleed the system when I install that and hopefully that fixes that. Also, it seems very hard to start and get going. (Mind you my first carb vehicle) She will fire but then want to die right away full half or no choke. if you give it some throttle she will eventually stay going. Is this a normal thing or do I possibly have some carb work to do? He said he went through them a few years ago. I have also noticed the neutral light only comes on every once in a while. Any insight would be much appreciated and I’m happy to be a part of the club!
