That looks brand new off the showroom floor!

1997 Vmax - I installed a headlight cut off switch some years ago. Started the bike and switched on the headlight, but no low or high beam. Pulled the bulb and checked the fuse, both were good. Checked my installed cut off switch for continuity (it's in the headlight ground wire) and it was...

My bet is it's your pilot jets inside the carb jet block. Try the Shotgun again with just compressed air, no carb cleaner, but this time REMOVE each pilot air jet #1 (PAJ1 is #2 in the diagram below) to get maximum compressed air flow to the pilot fuel jet. (When I say compressed air, I'm...

The order of assembly is spring, washer, then o-ring.

That was my question. How do I unplug the fuel pump? I don't store the bike as I'm in Southern California, but I have three other bikes (including a VMAX 1700) that I ride as well so the MiniMax gets a quarter of the use compared to past years. I've only used Berryman B-12 Chemtool...

I know I can drain the carb bowls manually. I'm looking to put in a fuel pump cut off switch or even a quarter-turn stainless shut off valve on the fuel line. Had the carbs rebuilt in April 2023 by Dannymax, new fuel filter, tank is clean, fuel bowl draining is clean, but I've had to do the...
