I'll have to try the coke trick...not sure about the oxidized parts though...

No, never bought a seat...been traveling too much last few months to even mess with the bike...nature of the job... need to get motivated this spring...detail it and such...lol

points well taken...bike came to me with the seat starting to rip...what;s typical cost to have a VMAX seat recovered? I would do all 3 pieces.

I thought the hoses on the side of the air box were the vents to the fuel bowls...

what does that tube vent or lead to?

it's the two rear carbs that the screws are stuck in... I set the 2 front carbs are 2.5 turns out on the mixture screws and checked the sync. they were amazingly not too far outta sync. I had to make very minute adjustments to sync them. well it seems to be able to idle now without the...

yeah, did some digging with the search function....I'm gonna set them at 2.5 and then choke it as little as possible for it to stay running and re-sync the carbs...........and then go from there....for now, lol
