Update....a year later now that I've gotten back to the bike, I had help from a member who was local to me last year, we synced the carbs the best we could but did find a vacuum leak on front right cylinder when we huffed it with propane. I installed new boots the other night and fingers crossed...

So runs great, kinda rough in my opinion but ive never driven one of these, hits on 4 but only when those pistons are pulled out ever so slightly. Seems to not like it when they are all the way in but maybe just needs some miles put on it, yesterday it wouldnt even run with choke fully off but...

i removed the one, it was clear, and spent a little extra time with adjusting the fork to make it exact same, seemed to run better going to test drive it here in a bit and advise. Hey its atleast moving now alot better than when i first started

Put set screw in only way I can get all 4 is if I slightly pull plunger out on that front left carb, bike seems a little rough running tho. Maybe a carb sync issue or air fuel mixture issue? The left rear carb I can see fuel flowing at idle past needle all other 3 are fine any ideas?

I would assume theirs no need for bushings on the shaft in between the forks?

Update, sorry for delay I pulled carbs off again ensure pilot jets were clear got 3 cylinders now won’t run with choke off but before I jumped back in here I did notice my non firing cylinder the set screw that your referring to is missing and if I manually pull out the piston it does pull...

I see my error, weird. Went to one2dnax even tho i clicked link provided

Apparently that email does not work. FYI

Ill definately give him a shout, and when I find the cure ill be sure to post what the probleme was, Im leaning towards a CDI box being the issue but I dont shotgun parts having spares or "loaners" will be a godsend

Newbie here youll prolly have to explain what that is to me....just pretend im 5yrs old so my simple mind can understand it if ya dont mind

One would think spark yes, engine does not pickup with airbox off and spraying directly into carb. Brand new plugs cuz old ones were nasty anyway, and verified spark on plug electrode by pulling plug out and firing bike up to verify and while under load (as much load as i can give it before it...

Update, swapped coils probleme still persists on left bank, measured KV at plug it’s around 25-28. Still stumped here

That is correct yes....sorry not too tech savvy to circle it for you

No critters in exhaust the left bank carbs the little holes are at the 12 ocklock position and right bank carbs the 6 ocklock position

New here really need some help, first things first 2006 Vmax with roughly 12k on it, bike sat over the winter and when I went to fire it up you could not rev it or do anything, I pulled the carbs off cleaned all the jets they are free flowing, bowls are getting fuel and drain properly, fuel pump...
