The Vmax Engine would be Worlds better. They're virtually the same Engine design. The Vmax was based on the first Gen Venture Engine, the differences are the Vmax has a more aggressive Cam Profile, and lighter Pistons. But if You Plan on going forced induction I would change out the Pistons...

All information I've found claim's the Vmax and Venture both share a 10:5.1 Compression Ratio, but the Max has Lighter Piston's and more aggressive Cam's. Max also has Larger Carb's and less restrictive Exhaust. My 84 Venture has the YICS Induction system which apparently Promotes Swirl for...

Has this been done before? I considered Swapping Vmax Heads onto my 84 Venture, but I aborted the Plan when I realized the Piston's are significantly different. The Venture Piston's are larger but the Valve Relief is much smaller. So I was concerned the Vmax Valve's would run into clearance...

Actually, I bought my Venture for the Breaks, Wheels and Engine with intentions to do a V4 Swap onto the XJ. Still think it would be awesome, but realized right away getting the 1200 on there would take more than I'm willing to do at the moment, so I decided to fix up the Venture. Still may...

A lot of Bikes are. I have an 82 XJ-750 Maxim that I turned into a Cafe Racer during the Lockdown's, converted it over to a Mack 4 into 1 with Pod's and it was tricky. Ended up having to Jet it out to #130 and then Open the Pilot Screw's up an additional 4 turns to work the Dead spots out, took...

The Guys in the Venture Forum say the Airbox is really important, and I guess they weren't kidding.

Yeah me either, all I can tell you is thats what it does at this point lol. And I'm not sure if your Vmax would behave the same, I'm pretty sure the Heads and intake are different. I don't think you Guys have YICS, and I don't have VBoost.

So my Idle Screw wasn't making Contact, but the Bar it goes through was back behind it where I couldn't see. Don't know how it got that way, but I bent it back down and she Idles Perfectly.

Got It!!! The Bar that the Idle Screw is on was bent up into my Throttle Linkage...

Thank's

But I actually found an issue last night, my Crankcase Vent Tube that Runs to my Airbox is Completely Shot. So I pulled a Tube of my old CB-750 and Replaced it. My little Boy was in Bed, so I haven't had a Chance to Start it yet. Going to when I get Home. Moment of Truth part 64 lol.

And a Guy on the Venture Forum told me to Set the Pilot Screw's to 2 turns out from Closed. So I just gently snugged them up, and then backed them out 2 turns. He said I would have to Fine Tune them with a Vaccum Gauge eventually, But 2 Turns is the Original Factory Spec.. It won't be Perfect...

Hmm, may have found something. The Crankcase Vent Tube is all torn up. Now my XJ's Yeah, I removed the entire Cruise System completely including the Switch.. Plan on Re-installing in the future.. And I have not Synced them with a Vaccum Gauge yet, I bench Synced them to the number 2 Carb by eye...

With just Velocity Stacks it Idles at 25, when I put on the Filter it jumps to around 35, and then when I put the Cap on the Vaccum Sucks it down, and it instantly Revs to 5500 and holds.
