    getting full charge into battery

    Can someone give step by step instructions on how to get full charge into the battery. It seems the stock system is not as good as it could be. I have the manual switch on the fan, and during usage it weakens the battery significantly.

    pilot jack?

    I saw the ad in the hawaii cragslist as well. That wasn't me; I'm on Oahu, but I'm getting a cough from the carbs when I roll from low rpm to high. I did the shotgun and Sea Foam before I did something more in depth. When I saw the ad with "pilot Jack", I hadn't heard the term before, so I...

    pilot jack?

    I was thinking jet as well, but it was clearly stated as "pilot jack." So, I was wondering if anybody knows what was meant by "pilot jack".

    pilot jack?

    Hello, What is a "pilot jack" and where is it located? What does it mean when someone has said, "your pilot jack needs to be removed for cleaning...that's why low rpm is not smooth"?

    carburator coughing

    Hello, I've done the "shot gun", synchronized the carbs, and currently running sea foam in the fuel. At low gear and rpm, I'm still getting a "cough". I took the air box out and watched what was happening. If you look straight down, and turn the throttle a little, the needle and...

    adjusting throttle cables

    Hello, Can anybody describe how to adjust the throttle cables. If I put them as the service manuel dictates (assuming I'm interpreting the book correctly), the is no throttle return. If I adjust the cables so the throttle returns, the cable slides are out of their prescribe marks. Also...

    adjusting vboost

    Hello, When adjusting the vboost, the control cable, and a set screw are involved. When synchronizing the vboost, a set screw is involved. My question is.... where should the locking bolt be when the control cable is adjusted, towards the back of the engine, middle, or front of the...

    idle mixture screws

    Hello, Does anybody know how to set the idle mixture screws? I did the "shotgun," and synchronized the carbs with the carbtune, but I'm not 100% sure I got the mixture screws back to where they were originally. I'm also, not sure they were set right to begin with. I put in "sea foam,"...

    synchronizing the carbs using the carbtune

    That's the correct name (sea foam)... not some kind of slang?

    synchronizing the carbs using the carbtune

    Thanks for the information and links. What is "sea foam?" It seems to me that it is some kind of fuel additive, but I don't know anything about it. Also, is it easy to get?

    synchronizing the carbs using the carbtune

    Hello, Can anybody give me detailed instructions concerning the use of the carbtune II on a vmax. I've tried to find some on-line, but can't seem to find any links that are still valid.
