slide

What's up guys? I've been away from the forum for a while. My vmax has been in pieces in my garage for the last six moths since I returned the carbs to Sean that I borrowed to help diagnose my problem. That's a long story..... but anyway my coasting enricheners were pretty rotted out so I...

I did the shotgun and when spraying the slides and diaphragms down, I noticed a hairline crack going from the top to the bottom on one of the slides. I'm going to check and see if I still have my "spare" one. If I don't...where's the cheapest place to get one (as a unit minus the needle)

Can anyone tell me what the stock diameter of the signal hole in the slide is? Drill bit size is fine.

I had 4 sets of slide needles laying around that came from Vmax/venture carburetors that were of course non adjustable. I had a set that showed promise when I tried them but a little to rich and no way to drop them 1 clip. I made a tool the thickness of a snap ring and added two clip settings...

Not really a VMax thing, but here's a song by one of my friends, well, two actually, it was started w/the first verse & chorus in 1971, and finished recently, when the surviving member of that two found the file, and decided to do it. I like bottleneck and slide guitar, but I'm not a musician...

On the plastic piece that fits on the needle, there is a small little tit that fits into the slide. When you do anything with the needles, you have to rotate the needle, until that nipple falls into place on the slide. Everyso often, i will tend to break the nipple off of the plastic piece...

I pulled my airbox off earlier today, and every time I'd throttle it up any, the slides were jumping instead of pulling up and being steady. Is this a sign of a problem, or is that from it not being under a load?

only #1 carb slide moves when at idle ? are the other diaphrams just stiff ? also cleaning diaphrams it was suggested using wd 40 . Do you re install wet or wipe off or let dry . thanks

Okay, I just picked up a new to me 1994 Vmax with what I am guessing is a stuck float. The bike is stock, except for Supertrapp slipons and has only 4450 original miles. The oil and plugs were just changed, and the old plugs were a nice light tan color suggesting decent jetting. Once the key...

Hey guys I just was just starting to take my cards apart and when I took my diaphragm cover off the spring came out and the diaphragm was in pieces. The the boot was not attached to the slide. Boot is still intact no tears or rips. Anyone know if there is anyway to fix this or is it supposed to...

Im new here and Id like to say hello before I start asking questions that have probaly been covered. Hello. Id think that everything you do to make the bike perform better like idle mixture pilot jets main jets needle highth effect the slide. The better something runs the smother negative...

Soak slides fully submerged in WD 40 overnight to loosen glue. Then instead of using a screwdriver to knock slide loose from diaphragm holder, I use a deep well 3/8 drive socket with a 6 inch extension to drive the slide loose from diaphragm holder instead of a screwdriver which is where most...

I have a Morley Muscle jet kit in my bike. I have read many posts on some people drill the slides and other dont. Currently, mine are not drilled. What is the advantage or disadvantage to drilling?

so i had my carbs apart several times in an attempt to rebuild renew and stop a sticky float issue. now that i have reassembled my carbs and installed them for the 3rd time one of my slides is not moving when i rev the engine. i can manually move it and it has approximately the same action as...

Just wondering if this slide diaphragm is shot? It has a small rip near the edge but the rip does not go all the way through. Otherwise the rubber still seems pliable.

Anyone in the Chicago area going to the Poker run at the Harley dealership at 2595 Ogden ave. Lisle, IL today 8 May 2010? I just found out about it and looking at going. I would be riding there from naperville. You can find more info at www.fvhog.com if your in my area, let me know and we'll...

I pulled the carburetor slide covers off to do the "Shotgun" cleaning procedure and found the slide diaphragm rubbers are begining to fall apart. I found some replacement rubbers on ebay and was wondering if anyone here has changed just the rubbers on the slide assemblies. It sure would save a...

If your carb diaphragms seem to have shrunk a little after having them off the bike for awhile, and this is preventing you from getting a good seal with the carb covers, then soaking them in gasoline for about 2 hours might expand them enough to seal correctly again. This tip comes from...

Finally was able to get the bike out on the road and its not pulling past 5k. Pulled the air box top and cleaned thoroughly the intake holes with carb cleaner. While I was doing this I noticed that the slides wouldn't move, at all, even revving to 7k. I had the carb side covers p/c this year...

While rebuilding my carbs, I discovered that the bottom of my slide on one carb was cracked and the retainer screw that holds the needle was stripped. I've priced the items from a place I order parts, and the best I can find is $89.00 for the slide and $20.00 for the complete needle assembly...
