Hello all, pleasure to be on the forum.
I have done hours of reading on here and may need some insight on a few things with my max.
Bike is a 99' vmax full power with vboost( still operational) with 4-2 kerkers. K&N filter and other than that bone stock. Just bought a few weeks ago.
Long time enthusiast, new owner of a max, but I am aware of their potential.
Dealing with a lean issue at the moment and from what I can gather and from previous knowledge, my float height is far too lean.
At idle she will heat up above the dot almost to the point of concern and there is almost an "anti-lag" sound between 3700-4000 rpm. If I'm cruising anywhere around that area and snap on it, it does that sound, stutters, hesitates then once at 4500 pulls like a freight train to 9500rpm.
As well it idles decently clean (for a v4) and slow speed maneuvers are without hesitation or back firing.
Plugs are snow white when I take them out.
I've set the A/F to a clean idle, and a tad rich.
I've synchronized the carbs to 22cmhg on all 4. Shotgun cleaned out the air circuits. That didn't work so I have taken the carbs right out, complete and thorough clean, reassembled /installed, synchroed and still lean.
How do I bench set a dry set of floats so I'm at least close. Taking the carbs out and disassembling each time to make minor tweaks to the tang seems like a massive waste of time.
Apologies for the rant. But any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
