    Spare diaphram cover screws

    Have enough of these left over to do 4 bikes. 100 was the min. purchase. Installed on my bike and sent 1 set out already. If you like black, here they are FREE. And they engage all the threads on the carb, unlike the ones I removed. Just PM your address and I'll send them.

    mutant ninja stator screws from hell

    Finally getting around to changing over to the higher output stator, (thanks CaptainKyle). The side cover came off no problem despite having to juggle the gears that wanted to come along for the ride. The bastard screws put up a hell of a fight :bang head: due to their being installed with the...

    Master Cylinder Cover Screws?

    Does anyone have a good source for the clutch and brake master cylinder cover screws? Mine are all chewed up and I need to replace them before I have to easy-out them. Surely there are some stainless ones out there...?

    carb a/f screws seized need temp fix help

    Okay guys here's a tough question. My fuel screws are seized in carbs 1 & 2. The cylinders only fire when I blow through the fuel vent hose which forces fuel into the idle circuit. I adjusted 1&2 carbs vacuum to pull harder, hence pulling more fuel. Now all cylinders are firing but I can't seem...

    Settining low speed A/F ratio screws

    Where the heck is the procedure for setting the A/F screw positions? I know that a dyno or an A/F meter is the best way, however I thought I recall a procedure to get you close for those without access to these resources. Since waking the bike up after it's long winter nap I have had a...

    Pickup screws in stator case

    Hi folks: Question re. reattaching the pickup units that mount around the stator: The screws that Yamaha uses to attach these pickup units appear to be crappy soft metal (SO soft that I broke one of those screws while backing it out from the crankcase cover!) So, my question is this: Is...

    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,"...

    Somewhat simple question on air/fuel screws

    I'm not 100 % positive but it just seems like my 2002 Vmax is running rich at idle and low RPM. I know from past experience they all seem to smell rich at idle but this one is over the top to me. My question is whether it would be worth it to drill out the plugs and attempt to change the mixture...

    Manifold Cover Screws

    Seized-Stripped Idle Mixture Screws!

    Hi Everyone, The bike was idling like crap so I wanted to tune-up/clean the carbs. The holes for idle mixture screws were open so the caps must have been removed by the shop that the original owner had Stage 1 Jet Kit installed. I bought plastic plugs and covered them up but I guess it was too...

    Octane and idle screws

    First of I usually use the mid grade gasoline, with the idle screws pretty much all set at or around 5 turns out. Over the weekend not paying attention I had put in high grade gas. Going in stop and go traffic I started having a really hard time taking off and keeping the bike idling, it was...

    Does anyone know what size stainless steel screw that is used on the stock carbs side covers? I lost one of mine and just realized it when I was tightening things up. Thanks in advance!

    Carbs: What the heck & A/F Screws stuck

    I picked up these neglected V Max carbs on C/List. They have been sitting a long time so I am in the process of disassembling everything, dipping everything in Berryman's, replacing buggered parts and hopefully make them whole once again. I was reviewing other threads and I see the PO replaced...

    `85 Vmax runs best with pilot screws closed?

    Hi, I`ve been busy setting up my Vmax. After syncing the carbs, it was time for the pilot screws. I set them at a preset value of 2.5 turns out and started the bike and drove it around until it was warm. Then I started to find the setting at which the engine runs the highest RPM at idle, which...

    Idle mixture screws

    So I drilled out my brass plugs and instead of a screw it looks like I have a brass plug with a hole in the center of it. I know I didin't hit the screw with the drill bit because I was able to pull the plug out almost intack. Anyone seen this?
