Hi all,
I've finally got around to the business of tearing my Vmax down for total rebuild this extended holiday. I've got it stripped down to the point where the carbs are ready to be pulled (lower clamps removed, throttle cables disconnected at the disconnection point) however the carbs will barely budge from the boots they're connected to. I've even tried prying against the frame of the carb rack with a dowel and using wood clamps on both sides in attempt to apply even force and slide them upward, to no avail. Is there something I'm missing with the disassembly process?
