vent

2007 Vmax turns over just fine but will not start. When turning over, gas flows out of the left side vent tubes. Specifically the left, rear carb. I've read it could be a stuck float. Could it possibly be a no spark issue and therefore the carbs get full and overflow? Any ideas would be...

Wasps what is their purpose. I was riding my 98 vmax and I parked it to go get some damn coffee cause I was tired and as I’m getting off my max I feel this stinging pain in my forearm and I’m like wtf. I am wearing a leather icon jacket btw. And it keeps getting worse so I pull off the jacket...

Okay, So I shotgunned carbs 1 and 2 today. I had to run to the hardware store to grab a screw extractor kit for THREE of the carb screws, and then it started to rain, so I covered her up (I park on the street in Brooklyn, far from ideal shop). Keeping in mind I know very little, here's the...

I've been unable to find a picture or diagram of where the float bowl vent lines go. Any help would be great .

My bike was having difficulty starting. I read a post about vapor lock. When i undo the gas cap. I hear a sucking spund from pressure intank equalizing. I checked the hose and the plastic connector in the middle had melted and blocked air flow. So i removed the connector but.am worried gas may...

Why does the tank vent pipe have such a tiny restrictor hole on the end? I ask because I sort of filled mine up a bit with Red Kote when I was treating tanks. I guess I let it sit the wrong way a little too long, and the excess didn't drip out of there. I've reamed it out with a violin string...

Well I was hoping to get maybe a deal on another sensor but I was fully prepared to purchase another at full price.. but i emailed the ebay sell just to test the waters...this is how it went I sent this email Hi I was wondering if you guys have had any know failures of what i believe to be...

My brother purchased a billet vent cap cover from Python Motorsports for his 2007 Max. In a rush to install the his new cover, he failed to realize that the Python cover fits over the stock vent cap and is held in place with a set screw. In his rush, he removed the stock vent cap and destroyed...

Ok this is probably one of the only places I feel kinda safe talking about this because I don't want to "give up my hand" here locally... Last week some asshole (or assholes) broke into my shop and stole a bunch of shit such as welders, plasma cutter, generator, cordless tools and a SHITLOAD of...

I just fired my vmax up today . I haven't started it in about 2 months it was fine. When I started it today one of the vent tubes that run up under the cowl cover was leaking gas pretting good. I suspect this is due to a sticky float but not sure. Can someone let me know there thoughts and if...

Hi , I was just wondering if the vent tubes on the carbs are necessary. Max

Does anyone have a picture that shows vent tube routing from the carbs to the bracket on the side of the airbox where they slip on? Do they go in between the frame and the airbox or do they go on the outside of the frame? I have a 1995 airbox that I am putting on my 1985 vmax. No matter how I...

omg ive been trying to attach this hose for like 2 hours and i just cant get it......is there a trick to this? now ive managed to get it disconnected from the air box AND the crank case and cant get it back on....tried airbox first and crankcase first etc etc etc....i need this damn bike fixed...

Ugh I need to get this off my chest. I'm also on a forum for my car. I have some prior knowledge about cars, but I joined the forum to learn more, especially about fine-tuning things such as suspension, engines, turbos, etc. Long story short, I broke the heater core in my car. I'm leaking...

Got a computer virus. Not especially malicious. It would re-direct me to different websites every so often (not the obvious porn ones) - usually about twice a week. I noticed immidiately and ran all of my virus programs. They became disabled. Yes, I could open them, but they could not be...

Is that a filter thats screwed to the battery case box? Is it replaceable..mine seemed a little wet..i blew it out with air..just wondering if this is good enough

Has anyone tried running with the top of the airbox off? Seems like it would get much better air flow than just the two small inlets built into it. Can you plug the crankcase inlet on the airbox and just put a filter on the end of the hose to vent crankcase the to atmosphere? Will this hurt...

Yeah that's right.... my front ME880 from mawonline.com was delivered yesterday, to somebody, not me. Way to go FedEx, the world not on time. Where is HobeJam? He knows my pain, something like this happened to him awhile back.... I have to say, UPS has not once screwed up a delivery to...

Hello to all, this is my first post on the boards. I have a 1988 VMax project that I bought. When I got it the carbs were in a box with a receipt for $130 to clean them. Along with the carbs removed there were assorted other things taken off the bike (some of which are still not on). I now...

Took the airbox off tonight while changing main jets (sean !), and noticed some yellow-brown liquid from where the crank vent tube attaches to the lower airbox. The double-headed vent tubes going to the velocity stacks were clear of any obstructions Took the inner compartment apart, and this...
