    Vboost or not

    Thought I would share my chapter with Vboost. When I bought my 96 it had the stage 7 kit with the vboost removed. Included was the entire kit to re-install if I found the need. Spent the end of last summer chasing drivability issues. Rebuilt carbs from the bottom up, all new intake boots, new...

    Stage 7 Incomplete install

    The fittings on the side of each carb for syncing the carbs? That better?

    Stage 7 Incomplete install

    I believe I found the issue. This has to be the strangest I have yet to find! The 4 brass (I think) air fittings all have hairline cracks. It might have been someone playing a trick on the person I got the bike from. I bet this is why he sold it. I just happen to have the carbs on the bench and...

    Stage 7 Incomplete install

    I have checked and am aware of all these issues, thanks for the heads upi though I went and double checked all of my connections just in case I messed up one of the boots. All were ok. So, I've had the issue prior to replacing the boots, since I purchased the bike and still have it. I'm...

    Stage 7 Incomplete install

    I double and triple checked those caps. They aren't cracked at all but are a little loose even with the clamps. If that's the issue (I thought about that already) I think I will give up wrenching for the rest of my life and become a librarian~! Headed to the store now! It's raining (storming)...

    Stage 7 Incomplete install

    Another couple hours in the garage going thru everything carb related. The stage 7 kit is installed per instructions using the 175 main jets. The needles included with the kit on the 4th ring as specified in the instructions (now that I know there is 2 pages) :clapping: So here is what i've...

    Stage 7 Incomplete install

    Let me try and explain this the best I can. Since I picked up the bike I have ben chasing strange issues with carbs. Racing when choked, 1 min its at 2000 RPM the next min at 4000 will stay there till I drop the choke. After that it will idle again for a min or so then jump back up 4000 or...

    OMG -- I cant believe I never scrolled down and read the 2nd page. How dumb am I. I m chasing a few idling issues. I have a carb I ordered from Sean which was shippped today with a bad A/F screw. Just got all the new boots installed and started it tonight. Still racing with the choke on, it was...

    Intake Manifold bolts have oil on them

    I've been chasin odd carburetor issues and ordered new rubbers (all new boots as they are cracked) and o-rings (under the intake manifolds) and noticed oil coming out of the intake bolt holes. Most of them are minimal and some not at all BUT the right rear upper is full of oil. When I wipe it...
