Better yet - check out DMr for an F4i conversion... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Nice to read a post like this. Thoughtful step by step inspection is the way to go on any vintage bike with an unknown service history. If I...
This sounds like a pretty good deal! A quick check on Service Honda's website shows: 16011-MM4-004 | VALVE SET, FLOAT | 4 REQ | $34.20 ea....
A top notch idea - a great benefit to having two VF500Fs in the stable.
Also, from the parts diagram - this notes the jet needles and the emulsion tubes in a front | back relationship. [IMG]
The photo in post #4 shows the emulsion tubes in a front | back relationship. The FSM (post #9) shows the needle jets in a front | back...
It sounds like you are getting close to resolving this issue - the PG appears to be the trouble maker here.
It could be that someone had them apart...they are off of a bike that only has 5,800 miles on the clock but after 25 years it could be someone...
Check the vacuum valve on the fuel petcock. Easy to do - use a Mityvac, connect to the vacuum hose to see if the diaphragm is working. [IMG]
Excellent! Congratulations on the purchase!
Here is a copy of the FSM (1984 US) noting the jet needles in a front | rear orientation: [IMG]
Good deal, thanks! I'll give this a go. Back to your project bike, any more high-res photos in your back pocket? Too tempting not to ask ;-)
Okay thanks. Regarding the jet needles, the FSM I have (1984 US) notes: Front: 2VA Rear: 2VD Gospel as well?
Sounds like a good product. I am in the process of having the lower rear seams restored on my '84 tank (VF500F). They are welding a few pin...
Thank you for the post. I have added this for clarification.
Thank you for the post. I'm not seeing this on the set I have though - on this set the emulsion tubes follow the needle jets: [IMG] Has anyone...
Very nice work! What type of paint and clear coat are you using? Will you be sealing the inside of the tank?
Fair enough, it does sound like you made an informed decision on the float needles and seats. Perhaps you can live with these for now and budget...
Is this an example of being penny wise and pound foolish? Not to be disrespectful but why were the floats not replaced during the rebuild? This...
Hi All, I've been working on a carb rebuild, on my '84 VF500F US model, and thought I would post my findings. The main jets are sized front...
