Don't worry when you get the carbs back the yelling will get quieter the more you twist your right wrist !!!!!! LOL

This is kind of off this subject but how involved of a job is it to change the valve cover gasket? do you guys usually change both at the same time and do the bolts need to be torqued? Also where do you guys order them from, I saw a few different venders on ebay but one is only $18 and the other is $46....... is there a difference?
THanks for helping a new guy out!

Lots of parts to come off in order to change the front valve cover gasket. Rear is a bit quicker. Neither is hard to do, it just takes some time.

I'm a believer in changing both if one is leaking. just my opinion though. Plenty of guys subscribe to the though of "don't fix it of it ain't broke".

OEM valve cover gaskets are expensive. I'm sure the $18.00 one was not OEM. I don't like to take chances on gaskets. Too much time involved for me to worry about saving a few dollars versus doing it over. Again, that's a personal preference.

It's always a good idea to use a torque wrench. I don't feel it's a necessity though, especially if you have some wrenching experience. If you have neither be careful tightening the valve cover bolts. You would not be the first person to snap one. There is a built in shoulder that will bottom out. Once the shoulder bottoms just snug them up a bit more.

As far as shipping your carbs, I've always used a large flat rate box from USPS. You can squeeze them in there. Tight, but they fit.

:bang head::rofl_200:I guess I'm going to pull the carbs and send them away..... My wife is going to kill me

The Y missing and PJ1 changed to 100. Hmm. I'd install a Y and put the #90 back in, then go for a ride. Then, if it doesn't work? Send them out. I believe if you go to Danny's web site, all the cost are broken down for you. I recently did a set for someone and it's time consuming. I don't know how he can charge so little. He likes doing it and is excellent at it. It's well worth getting them done right.

So PAJ1 is 90 stock? What about the PAJ2 it's 170.....if I change PAJ1 to 90 should I change PAJ2 to something else?

 

[maleko89]

Paj2 of 170 is correct.

Starting them young is very KOOL. Nice pic.

Well......... I did not pull the carbs due to my work/wife/ a 2 and 3 yr old, but it seems like it's actually running better now! I think I need to find tune the A/F screws a little but all and all its ok. I also think it would help to sync the carbs, since I own a VMax and from what I have seen on this forum I think it would be wise to buy my own sync tool. Any tips for a first timer?! (Doing the sync)

First tip....if you can afford it....buy the Morgan carb tune.

2nd....this is a well written sticky with pics. http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=3959

That should help get you started.

What do the Morgan ones cost? I briefly looked online and could only find UK prices and where can I find them?

kinda curious about this picture. What is the tube going between the carbs then down towards the read exhaust header? If it's your clutch cable you need to rerun it along the frame, and zip-tie it to it... My 7 month old grandson wants to help me out more than my 20 year old son, he is still pissed I am not giving him one of the 2 Vmaxes I have...lol Gotta earn the bike and respect it, not a beginners bike...

On california carbs it is a vent tube from the carbs not a cable.

 

[veebooster]

That is as cheap as you're going to get!! Great offer.

Got a question, to drain the bowls, I noticed only drain tubes on one side of the bike, (right) shouldn't there be drain tubes on both sides?

Yes there should be.....but sometimes they get dislodged.

Thought I read somewhere about when you do stage 7 they often get removed? wondering what's been done to this bike. no info from po, got from small dealer.

I think that your thinking of the vent tubes that go to the airbox? With stage 7, no more airbox, so the vent tubes are removed.
