    2005 Resurrection

    Thanks, guys. I've rebuilt slave cylinders before, it just confuses me that the hydraulic system is the issue. Piecing together the thoughts y'all posted, for it to be a hydraulic issue it would mean the plunger in the slave cylinder is in the 'pressed' position, but unable to 'relax'. For that...

    Float set, 28.5mm suggested so what would 30 mm act like?

    The carbs I just rebuilt had the entire bore for the air mix screw smothered in Silicone. I could imagine why the PO would do discuss a thing. Then I learned he didn't have the washers or o rings on the screws... Must have leaked and the obvious solution was silicone?

    I'm not certain because of the angle of the pics, but I think those are too rich, not too lean.

    Fork Seals

    What FM said. I bought this set for $17 off Amazon. "Neiko 10076A 3/8-Inch Drive Extra Long Allen Hex Bit Socket Set, Metric, 3 mm - 10 mm | S2 and Cr-V Steel, 7-Piece Set" Those and a cordless Bosch impact wrench and those bolts are easy-peasy!

    And after putting the carbs back on and finally putting a bit of new gas in her, she fired right up!!! The pull side throttle cable like a bit frayed so I replaced those with new parts as well.

    I... FINALLY... finished the carbs. Here's a before and after of the carb bank. Hopefully you can see the tiny difference in cleanliness.

    Dilemma about selling my 1999 VMax with 5,000 miles on it.

    That's a minty bike. If you were in the Massachusetts area I would snap that up for the full $2k in a heart beat. Really, if I saw it on Facebook marketplace I've been know to offer $100 over asking to make sure I get it and the seller gets the enjoyment of telling the people that offer them...

    Corrosion question

    I've never used S100 cleaner, but the S100 Engine Brightener works really well. It leaves a coating of glossy oil on your engine... And smells fantastic! I would suggest giving it a try. I think it's what you are looking for.... Similar to WD40 but stays much longer. It's expensive though, $18 a...

    Got two of the carbs cleaned. No hurry as I'm still waiting for parts to arrive. Thought y'all might want to see some before and after carb porn.

    Motorycle For Sale 1985 not running asking $1500

    @ male.ding - It's really hard to tell if your bike is corroded or just dusty. If it is just dust, a quick spray with a degreaser, hose down, and then blow off with a leaf blower would probably get it sold lickety-split for you. Just a thought.

    2005 Resurrection

    Got the carbs out without issue. My first observation was that the choke arm wasn't working. After I got it out I checked all the individual enrichment plungers... they all slide nice and easy... but the metal rods connecting them all need a thorough cleaning. I started taking the first carb...

    I took the air box off and thought I should snap a pic before getting the carbs off. This poor bike... She's seen some things.

    It's probably just my horrible photography skills, LOL! They are the stock dark grey found on 2005's. The left side picture is probably more representative of reality.

    Should I?

    Mileage wouldn't scare me off. Where the carbs rebuilt and sync'ed in that $2,400? Open the gas cap and see if there's anything beyond a tiny bit of surface rust. Even if the carbs were just rebuilt, if the tank is rusty it will just clog things up again. Take it on a test ride and really get on...

    I got the fenders on and popped the faux tank on for a few pics. Next up is to put the clutch MC back together and mount it. Then onto the carbs!
