Still think it's a carb sync issue. One carb is too rich and when conditions are right, it pulls the other three along with it. One is too lean...
Thanks for the correction Jamie... :-))
1. The fuel PUMP shuts off when it detects 3psi of backpressure. 2. Just run the line from the carbs directly to the tank. Fuel filter is placed...
Drain the carbs and see if any fuel comes out. If the float bowls have gas, then the bike should start. Focus on starting the bike first. Worry...
Yes, one on each carb.
Wiggle your key and see if that turns the bike off and on. If it does, replace the ignition with aftermarket. You'll have two keys now. If the...
Hanging idle is usually either an air leak or the carbs are badly synced. Spray WD-40 around the carb boots and see if the idle changes, if it...

Stock gearing for the VF700F is 16/44.
Battery is bad and won't hold a charge. It will show 12 volts with no drain. But try to start it and I bet it will drop to about 6V. Time to...
I'm guessing you either have a clogged fuel filter or a pinched/clogged vent line. Next time it happens, drain the float bowls and see if you get...
Kind of hard to attach it to the carbs don't ya' think?
You do want to remove and replace the carbs as a set. Failure to do so can result in broken fuel tubes and bent linkage. Here is a link to carb...
How far were you from your starting point? What was the last thing you did to the bike? Petcock?
It was on E-bay a while ago - $1099 is the starting bid: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290153417675 Pics from...
Why wait? Do the fix now before it strands you on the road.
I agree, you're holding on too tight. What really got me to loosen up was reading this story (paraphrased): A racer was running around the track...
Here is what I did to remove the pump to replace the fuel lines and filter. (It's been a little while so I may have forgotten the exact...
Is that radiator a true braided steel hose or just a cover. And where did you get it?
