So, I went back out last night. Put it all back together, thank god it started up first try and seems to run okay! If anything the throttle...
So, just thought I'd give you guys an update. In a nutshell I'm an idiot. This all started yesterday around 5 pm. I ordered new handgrips for...

Do you mean to tell me that not all of the 86 vf500s had fuel pumps? Because I haven't actually seen one yet, just took the CLYMER 500cc V-fours...
Ok Guys, Sorry for the late response but work kind of got in the way of my tinkering this week. I went out to the shop today though and went at...
Thank you all for your input. I'll be sure to try all of your advice and I've also been in touch with squirrelman, he was very nice. I'd be very...
