I would avoid #5. Go ahead and spray them out. Just rap on the carbs as they fill with a handle. You can jump the fuel pump relay to fill the...
Not saying you don't need new float valves, but... Sometimes when carbs are drained and the float(s) gets completely extended, it can get stuck...
Problem #2 really sounds like the starter clutch is protesting, like Squirrel mentioned above. How many miles/kilometers on bike? Might point...
He said any night after 5 or this weekend. No way was I waiting for someone else to swoop in. It meant driving to the east side during rush hour...
[IMG] Craigslist. Remnants of a dude's bike he crashed in 1991. Off of 1986 VFR700F, 9000 Miles. Highlights are a swingarm chain slider that...
Not bad for $40
My calipers are maintained and operate properly, but I still swap pad locations occasionally (when I am being lazy). I usually will lightly sand...
My bolt heads were still in good enough shape to use a 6 point socket, some extensions and a long breaker bar to just snap the bolts. Sounds like...
Probably is what it will take if you have already been soaking with PB Blaster for the last month and then tried applying heat with a torch before...
Everybody thinks they can nail V4 carbs. They are weird. Squirrel is not being cute when he says 2nd and 3rd attempts without success. It's...
Well it was easy to confirm that's not it. I am leaning towards the carbs needing some general love, but will be surprised if it is actually the...
I hate you Europe and your 400s. Dammit! Stupid Americans with our small penises.
Filters will not necessarily fill up. That doesn't prove your relay is good. Like I said, I've seen them partially work. And with the relay...
Yes, that's it. Paperclip or some heavy gage wire and some tape can work. If you don't get it right you won't go far anyway. With the key on,...
Normal.
The relay is what allows the pump to operate. They are widely known to be a weak link. Usually they fail completely, but I have seen them fail...
And the upper mark on the tank is when up to normal operating temp. If you are filling it to max when cold, it will be too full when the rad...
Just for giggles, jump the fuel pump relay to eliminate it.
Did you verify the condition of the air filter? And also make sure the air box isn't full of dog food or nuts from a rodent? The fact that it...
If you don't have one... then I would agree. "Flanged side (which is actually the nut), goes on right side with spacer." This shouldn't be...
