Is there a thread on here that goes through cleaning out your carbs step by step. I have done the Shotgun twice, Peashooter once, opened up the bowls and shot carb cleaner on the float needles as well as in their seats. I?ve got an 07 MAX with 1445 miles, with K&N filter, Supertrapp slip-ons with open end caps and 8 discs per side, Nology hot wires, and E3 Diamondfire plugs. Main jets are stock, Needles are stock, and the a/f screws are turned out 4 turns. Idle is good, WOT is great, but at steady cruise around 4K rpm or so, it seems to still to have a lean popping and crackling sound to it. I just took the carbs out this past weekend and opened the bowls. The gas that came out when I drained the bowls looked good and the fuel in the bowls didn?t have any sediment . After shooting the bowls, float needles, needle seats, and any other holes I could find in the bowls with carb cleaner, the lean feeling has gotten better, but has still not gone away completely, so I feel as if I am missing something that still needs a shot of carb cleaner or an orifice that needs to be unclogged. I am told that I can?t be too lean with the setup I have, so I am fighting the urge to shim the needles. So, if anyone knows of a thread that goes through the steps of cleaning the VMAX carbs, step by step, please let me know.
