Hey, don't mean to bug again but I was wondering if maybe it would be better to send you my carbs for a bit of repair? I would obviously pay. I understand if it's a no. I stripped the tab where the screw went into and I don't want to damage it further. Anywho, thanks for all the help you have...

This is incredibly helpful, thank you. I often feel as if going to places like Home Depot and Lowe's is just too much of a generalisation. This store near MIA is exactly what I need. For me at least, it's difficult to get anything for the Vmax without having to order online for exact parts. I...

Holy crap! I've just realised that you live in Miami! Don't know how I didn't realize that sooner with that detailed response. Well, I feel dumb. I live in Kendall, so that ace hardware is definitely close by me.

This is an EPIC response!!!! Thank you!!! It really helps me envision and paint the picture of what I should do. It's something I've never done before or even heard of doing. I am a bit apprehensive of doing this simply because I was confused about it. This hugely helps. Now I just have to do it.

Getting a better look, I'm positive you're right about some sort of side impact. The previous owner swapped out the water pump and lo and behold, problem on this side of the carb. It looks as if I'm going to have to bend the tabs, as suggested. Any suggestions on where to get new screws? They...

Thanks for that. I got around to taking the screw out. She looks a bit stripped, however I had her tightened all the way and it seemed to be getting closer to the desired 20 on the gauge. Someone on the chat had suggested I swap the screw out with a longer one. I would just pop into home depot...

Which tab should be bent? It looks to be a pretty strong metal but I haven't taken the carb off just yet. Trying to do it while on the bike.

I see. Seems more annoying than difficult, it seems. Thank you so much for the help. Stay safe, brother.

I'm a bit confused. Sorry, I'm a tad new to messing with carbs.I have a regular carb synchroniser. Not the mercury one. Anyway, I'm not even sure what that part is exactly.

I'll give that a whirl but I'm pretty sure it's seated well. I'll check the diaphragm for sure. She rides well, which is strange.

Exactly. It is bottomed out.

Hey, everyone. Hope everyone is doing alright in these times. Just trying to stay safe and busy myself. Speaking of busy, I decided to clean my carbs because the bike was sitting for a while. All cleaned up and running a bit better, however, trying to sync up the carbs is proving to be annoying...

The boots were definitely loose, funny enough. The problem persists but it seemed to run a bit better. Tried to sync the carbs afterwards,#4 will not sync correctly. The rest hang out at around 20 cmhg versus #4 which hangs around 40. Quite a bit off. What could that indicate?

So I was taking off the carbs and noticed that it was strangely easy to take off the carbs. I was going for a valve adjustment (my bike is at 18,000. It sounds like the valves kinda get stuck at a low rpm until I open up the throttle). I imagine it has a lot to do with what you just said. I have...
