trouble

If there is anyone that has experiance fixing welders or can get me off on the right foot, I'd appreciate it greatly. I have a Lincoln Model # AC-225/DC-210/6. It puts out plenty of power to the 120 and 240 volt outlets. But, no welding arc. It has a CV tap for a mig gun. I'm wondering if...

I am having issue to keep my vmax running. I can start up the bike with choke, but when I turn off the choke it dies. or with the choke on, If I crank gas a bit it dies. ppl have suggest it might be the sync issue, but I am still trying to get a sycn tool. from time to time I head some high...

I finally assembled my engine few days ago. I've changed a lot of parts during the process. It works strange now. It has normal idle, but when I give it WOT I have a lag. When I’m trying to open throttle slowly it decreases revs and then suddenly revs it up. This lag is on first 1-2mm of...

This is waaaaay off topic but may apply. Ever have an issue getting the right bolts for these bikes?:bang head: I have in my garage a Cub Cadet 27HP Diesel 4x4 tractor I'm putting a new head on. Factory/Dealer repair manual gives 2 torque settings for the head bolts & while the head bolts are...

Guys, you haven't heard much from me, but the Max has been running well and is (for now) modded the way I want it. But, now I actually need to do something besides normal maintenance. Today on the way home from work after a VERY spirited run up through 4 gears, suddenly the bike is running...

Evening everyone... I'm new to the forum, I've been a member a few weeks but this is my first post. I've noticed the Max doesn't like starting on cold days and its a bit of an effort to get her going but she always starts. Anyway, today I got stuck in heavy traffic and the temp gauge started...

http://omaha.craigslist.org/mcy/1894307625.html Is it worth the trouble to rebuild the engine, I am an aviation mechanic so I LOVE to take apart/rebuild and recondition.... I am not sure where to find bearings, seals, gaskets etc for the bike though, any help would be great!! I have a...

Hi all, I have trouble with my vmax when it runs it builds big pressure in the radiator, first i think is was a blown headgasket, but now i have taken both heads off but there is nothing to see on the gasket, and heads and cyllinder surface is ok also that now?? :ummm::ummm:

I just got done with my carbs about 2 days ago and got them back together. They are nice and clean, every hole cleaned out, every jet, everything. I'm trying to put them back on the bike and I seem to be having some trouble with the throttle cables. I can get them in alright, it's a pain but I'm...

Hi all: I read Gleno's great post about steering, bearings, and race removal, and am in the midst of trying to remove the bearing race from the bottom of my '89 Max. Now, Gleno talks about using the diamond Dremel tips to cut thru that bottom race. I bought a bunch of them, and have ground...

OK, so I've had my '85 Max 2 weeks now, and just took my first weekend trip. Filled the tank a couple of times each way on the round trip. It starts fine when cold, but when I stop for fuel and try to start again, it turns over very slowly and takes several attempts before it will fire. Once it...

I got the Delrin motor mounts a long time ago, put in the front four and liked it. Now I am installing a set of Supertrapp slip-ons, so while the cans were off I thought I'd get the rear two motor mounts replaced with the last two Delrins. Can't do it. I don't know what it's hanging up on, the...

so i replaced the coolant, drained the old stuff completely, and added new just like the manual says. i started it up, ran fine for about a minute until all the gas in the carbs (i guess) was up, then it went dead. the fuel pump ticks, but no gas seems to be reaching the carbs now. anybody...

My bike will not turn off with the sidestand down in gear. This a very dangerous situation and I would really like to have it resolved. I see where the sidestand relay is but am confused on how to properly test it? I connected my multi-meter to the relay plug in just as it states but how am...

Just bought my 85 today and the bike is hesitating in the upper rpms. I disconnected the vboost but I am unsure if I did it correctly. How can I be sure the Vboost is fully open? I did the key in the ignition a few times and then it all together stopped working (cycle open and shut)! All i...

I did the "shot gun " on my carbs. I think I might not have gotten the pilot screws back in the same distance as they were before. My bike won't start and it back fires and shoots smoke out of the exhaust. The dealership that just synched the carbs drilled out the plug and left the chips in the...

Is it just me, or does everyone get the xml feed error, that is looking for a table tag in the code on the VMOA board? :confused2: :cheers: Neil
