    Oil dripping

    Thank you. I like the idea of pulling the wires through with the sealer on it but the wires are surely soaked with oil and I think there is a braided insulation on the wires which is going to hold even more oil. I suppose the sealer must be applied to a very clean oil-free surface to allow it to...

    Oil dripping

    I have a slight oil drip. It's located at the left side crankcase cover. I think it's coming through the stator wires. I'll have to take the cover off to investigate. Where is the best place to purchase the big gasket at a reasonable price. And how do I go about stopping a leak at the stator...

    make old carbs new again

    Sean Morley responded. The performance carb kits are available. Thank you. In the meantime, I had to double check the wet float level because some of the levels we're out of spec to high.

I decided to leave it that way and proceed with fuel screw adjustments and...

Carb cleaner had absolutely no effect on the deposits. I could scrape against it and it would come off as powder. Surely this stuff was clogging my idle...

    make old carbs new again

    So is there supposed to be any gas sucked into the engine through the needle jet/ jet needle at idle? I think my idle circuit on three of the four carburetors are clogged and I've had to compensate by opening the butterflies too far with the idle screw. The mixture screw on one of the carbs does...

    make old carbs new again

    Is fuel supposed leak out (small amount) through the needle jet, around the jet needle of carburetors on a 85 v max at idle? Looking down through the bores of all four carbs. Bike hadn't been started in three years but after changing all fluids and stopping the gas leaks i did get the bike...
