Hi all vmaxers, fairly new to the vmax I have a gen 1 88mod. When I first got bike crackled and popped for first 10-15min of riding then all ok, did this every time I went for a ride.
Did the shotgun, back together ran worse. Decided to pull out all carbs and service, cleaned up good, did notice a small tear in the diaphram of 2 carbs,dabbed a tiny ammount of good quality silicone to repair(dont know whether this was a good idea or not??) noticed also 1 fuel screw corrided on needle tip. Re-used anyway. Adjusted floats and backed out screws 2.5 times. Back together now even worse, will start as if its on 2 cyl, wont idle and doesnt seem to want to rev at all.
Checked spark all good, plugs very black though. When I pulled off left rear cyl plug cap bike would stop, I did all other one at a time and it seem to make no difference.
Any suggestion on what exactly I should do from here? spent many hours trying to get everything right and each time it gets worse. What should I use as a check list from start to finish?
The guy I bought her off is a good mate and he had no issues for many years. Please help
