Thanks! I tried to get out and check some of these things over last night but ran short on time and got frustrated with another no start issue. Which brings me to a new question. Is it possible that I am have hard starts due to flooded carbs? The bike will often turn over like a charm but never...

So I got it started today, rode it around and am confident now the tach is my issue. I took a video of me sitting in neutral and revving it to show what the tach dies.

Hello Everyone, A few weeks ago my dad gave me his 1985 Vmax. His dad had bought it new, left it to my dad upon his death, and then my dad sold it in 1996. He had sold it to an old family friend and ended up purchasing it back in 2017 and then decided to gift it to me a few weeks ago. Not long...
