    ShotGun or Peashooter

    What is a jet block cleaning? I finally got around to the ShotGun method of cleaning my circuits. Work has been so busy. I had a little trouble getting one of the A/F screws out but it did come out. Two of the A/F screws are strip'd, maby only 2 or 3 threads. Should I replace these or do you...

    Replacing Stator

    Correct, I have been having starting issues with my 1370cc bore. Lots of compression to deal with, so, I found through help here, that the venture unit does output more than the OEM, I believe the OEM puts out 250, and Venture 300. I originally was only getting around 12 volts at idle, so, this...

    Wont run now after r/r hard wired

    Thank you. I'll try crossing to the opposite plug. Pretty embarassing if thats the case. And By the way, I really enjoyed the COP thread. I'm sure at some point, I will get the R1 COP and wiring harness and change my plugs to DP8EA-9's. This site just has it going on!!

    Wont run now after r/r hard wired

    I hard wired my r/r to the pos and neg terminals. Fired up the bike and got 14.45 volts on idle. Great!! So, I now put coils, wires, etc... back in place and bolt everything down. I'm standing there with my camera to take a picture of my new found 14 + volts (showing on my metre) to post a feel...

    Battery Tender install?

    why do you need to adjust the carb floats after installing pigtails? I'm going to lordco auto parts to pick up some wire to connect to battery terminals today, then hide it somewhere for easy trickle charge.

    different R/R from 97 to 98 and up

    Thanks, the reason I ask is I'm only getting 12.5v at the battery at 1000 rpm and already replaced my starterclutch, and upgraded my stator to a venture unit..... I\m just tired of starting issues, havent done the crimp fix yet, but I will get to that.

    different R/R from 97 to 98 and up

    Does any one know why the part#'s are different from 1997 Rect & Reg Assy (3JP-81960-00-00) , then in 98 they came out with 3JP-81960-01-00 Did they fix something here, the part # stays the same from 98 to present. The reason I ask is I know about the FH001 MOS-fet R/R. and if they fixed...

    Been busy on upgrades to Battery, Stator, Rectifier/Regulator, StarterClutch, Magnet for Rotor Assy, and is taking longer than I hoped. Last I started my bike was about 1 month ago. Any ideas on how to keep it healthy ie carbs..fuel... in the interim??

    A few issues while starting??

    Well, the battery reads 12.05 v just sitting there. While the bike is running at 2500 rpm it reads 13.1 v. Do you think I should charge it over night? I'll do the 3 wire fix this weekend and see if I reach 14 v while running. And FYI, I'm incompetent on the year of my 98 vmax,,,,. which is...

    I'll put a meter on it when I'm back from work and let you know what I find.

    A few issues while starting??

    The low amps on battery would go hand in hand with the lack of riding his summer. I've been thinking of keeping a trickle charge on it every couple of weeks or so, And I'll dig around for the 3cross wire you had mentioned. Thanks, I'll let you know how things panout.

    A few issues while starting??

    Hey, Thanks Jim, It does sound like Marbles, and I'm already looking forward to changing it out. By the way, I used to work at the KOA campgrounds on Lundys lane in Niagara falls for a couple of summers till I moved to BC.:worthy:
