With old bikes it's win some lose some, don't get discouraged. Good luck on the next one.
Oh then go take a nap first.
Measure the O.D. of your carb body throat and make your own.
Good for you to try to save it, I just went on my last ride for the year on mine and will surely miss it until spring. It was worth all the effort...
I have not done the test on this particular bike yet, but you need to hand crank to TDC on the compression stroke for the cylinder you are...
Did mine this summer and had to wait a while to get my kit from China, not many listed on Amazon or Fleabay that have the correct bowl gaskets, if...
Not sure why you are focusing on the top surface of the valve stem before you figure out what is going on inside the cylinders. Have you done a...
Choke off, throttle wide open, warmed engine, then take readings. Take them again to make sure you had the hose screwed in all the way into the...

I see I have replied to two separate threads by you on this topic.
Had a V65 Sabre back in the late 80's, couple times went a buck and a quarter on county roads, good thing I later wrecked it before it killed me...
Have you bench tested the fuel pump ? You can bypass it by running a line from the petcock directly to the carbs to verify the petcock functions....
What he said. Or, a clogged petcock straw. Or, dead fuel pump. Basically anything is fair game to be checked as there are many causes. I would...
