I bought an '02 VMax w/ 7900 miles on it at an auction. It's been sitting for maybe 1 year with no long term storage prep. Today was day one with it. Here's what I know: The right front carb will spit fuel out of the vent tube, and fuel comes up through the Main Jet Air Bleed when cranking. Mind you, I'm cranking with the plugs out, as I knew it had this problem going in. It was doing this out of the left front carb, but I had shot some carb cleaner down the MJAB, as I knew I could from the Shotgun cleaning method that I read up on. I'm not a motorcycle engine guy, nor have I messed with a carb in quite a while. However, I can read :banana: and follow instructions. I could only turn the engine over with the plugs out anyway, as the battery was dead, and my battery charger didn't have enough juice to turn the engine over with the plugs in. Can someone give me a few ideas? And yes, I bought it cheap enough that if I have to put quite a few bucks into it, I'm ok. I'd rather not if I can help it, though. Thanks in advance for your answers and offering up all of this good info!
