Update Well I got the new carb kits in and installed them in all the carbs. New orings, and new gaskets in all. Got it all back together and on the bike. Fired it up and no popping!!! Idled decent! Still needed a lil tuning though. Equaled out the fluid levels on my schronizer then hooked it...

Just out of curiosity, the jet block gasket should be reusable correct? I know it’s a paper gasket, but when I removed these they were in great shape. No tears or damages. Or should I have replaced them?

I forgot to mention I checked that also. Both back cylinders were around the 160 range.

Giving you a little background on me. I have around 17 years experience as a motorcycle tech. Mainly working on metric bikes and ATVs. Well I finally got my hands on my first vmax believe it or not. Customer complained that it wouldn’t idle. Would have to hold the choke on to keep it running...
