shotgun

I started to get the stumble and did the shotgun on the carbs (not my first time). I got everything cleaned and put back together now the bike won't start at all! The bike did run right before I did the shotgun as I was checking to see which side the stumble was coming from. All it does now is...

Just wanted to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the many members who took the time to answer questions, submit pics and step-by-step instructions on maintaining the Max. I had the no idle, no low speed power, throttle not retuning to idle, etc. I first did the "peashooter"...

I got to the part where you take out the 4 screws to get into the carb and it was a no go not even with pliers , so where everything is off it can i spray it with something etc before i put it back together ....

Hi folks: I have a question re. LVLHEAD'S shotgun method carb cleaning: He mentions "cleaning the slide diaphragms with WD40"...when he says that, does that mean to wipe them down with WD40-soaked rag, or to just spray them with WD40 I'm concerned that my bike doesn't start because I...

My bike suddenly began running very poorly, lots of popping out the mufflers and uneven acceleration. I figured I'd try the shotgun cleaning for a cure. When I shot the air into PAJ1 on the right bank of carbs, the majority of air came out the a/f screw holes. When I shot the air into PAJ1 on...

So right now i have finished shotgun, but did not exactly do all the steps... I have followed a nicely written up procedure on it, but really found it quite difficult with the mixture screws. Fearing to mess things up, i have left them alone... What i have done: i have blasted carb cleaner...

Ok, so I'm working my way through shotgun'ing my carbs, I'm only to the point where I seat the mixture screws, then back them out. Here's my problem, I started with cylinder 4? (right side rear), seated the screw, noting the number of turns, then began to back it out. It came out about 2 turns...

Rather than performing the shotgun, could you not just pull off a gas line and run some seafoam through the line while the bike is running? This would circulate through the whole carb - wouldn't it? :ummm:

Yep After I did the shot gun I lost about 5 mpgs :bang head: Any help would be appreciated.:worthy: Thanks in advance :banana: Cheers:cheers:

Hello All Just finished performing the ShotGun cleaning, wow did a lot of crap come out. :damn angry: Anyways, cant get the bike to start after the cleaning. Mixture screws set at 2.5 turns and getting really bad blow back through the carbs. :ummm: Any suggestions would be greatly...
