    Running hot on #2 and #4

    Just put the max away for winter hibernation and noticed the front 2 cylinder plugs were a bit scorched on the bottom of the rubber caps. Next season, I have to see where my AF Screws are, in relation to the back 2, and make them a bit richer. All plugs looked to have a light tan color and the...

    No Carbtune reading on #2 carb

    I need some advice, my 93vmax with 23k would not stay running without the choke on. It has been sitting for 3 months due to the S. Texas heat. I decided to do the "shotgun" procedure which I have successfully done many times. When I started the bike and let it warmup, I could not get a reading...

    no spark on #2 cylinder

    So after fixing all my electrics the old '86 ran fine... for a few days. Then it started missing, and then feeling like it was running on 3 pots, only going to full power when in higher revs. I thought it might be the #2 coil, as I had noticed a break in the insulation of one of its wires. I...

    Fuel mist above #2 carb

    I performed the shotgun procedure on two of my carbs. The #1 carb was backfiring and I fixed this by sealing a small hole on the diaphragm attached to its slide. I noticed after doing the procedure that the #2 carb created a mist above the carb. You can see it if you look closely on this...

    1997 fouling #1 and #2 Plugs

    I have a 1997 VMax that is fouling the #1 LH FWD and #2 LH Rear spark plugs. The bike is new to me so I do not know the history of the maintenance. Is the coil the same for both the LH cylinders?

    #2 mixture screw off from factory?

    Well the dirty carb bitch finally bit me! Took the day off to go on a ride with the wife, and about 5 minutes into it, the bike develops a slight miss and pop at steady throttle. After about 10 minutes, it goes away and then comes back about 2 hours later. I took the advice here and let the...

    ANOTHER New Project, Bobber/Chopper #2

    So I picked up what I've been looking for for a while, and it was FREE! It's pretty rough, and about the going rate for a bike like this in this condition, but I don't care, I have the building blocks I need to start with on the bike. The XS 650 The engine seems to be siezed at the moment, so...

    Carb #2 leaking....

    I assume the float level is too high or the float needle is sticking on my #2 carb because fuel oozes out around the rubber intake manifold boot and down the engine. It's been doing this a while and now it has wrinkled the chrome plated plastic H cover on that side. What do you guys advise I...

    Not enough vaccum on #2 carb??

    I'm trying to sync my carbs and I'm having problems with the #2 carb. I am using a Carbtune 2 and I can't get enough vaccum to move the #2 rod up at all. I swapped the #1 and #2 tubes and the guage works fine. I messed around with the pilot screw as well as the #1/#2 sync adj screw. When I blip...

    OK noobiet question #2... Front coils?

    I didn't pay much attention to the spark plug wires when I took them off the front coils. So naturally when I went to put them back on, I couldn't figure out which coil goes to which cylinder. The only picture in the manual doesn't show which is which either! So I assumed the left coil went to...
