Oh man....where to start? You shouldn't go posting the same 2 threads, 6 times over, all within a few seconds of each other, over different subforums like that. Did you read your post after you wrote it? It's incomprehensible. Maybe try to be a little more clear in what you are asking and try using some punctuation in your writing. Using the space bar and period keys don't cost any more than the other keys.

Another thing...on this forum your first post should be in introduction with some pics of your bike. The member base here kinda expects that.

 

Gavin - there's plenty of knowledgeable people on here. Post up some information about where you are located. Maybe there is a local member that could help you with your carbs for about the price of a case of beer.

Tell more about the bike. Was it sitting? Inside or outside? Last time it ran? Is there rust in the tank?

Also, use the search function towards the top right of this forum. There are tons of threads about carb removal and reassembly. You'll find tips and tricks to make it easier, as well as what NOT to do.

Forget about replacing teh plastics now. Get that thing running. Make sure it has compression.

 

Ok my apologies im New to all of this

 

Ok thank you I will check that out and also will post pics and info here shortly another member has told me of my unknowing breach in manners on here so my apologies sincerely dont want to anger anyone on here I need you guys

 

Gavin you have to do one step at a time right from the beginning, check that it has oil,check that it has water,you need a battery,and a fuel bottle so you can see what is going on with the carbs with the tank off, this is all so you can see if you can get it running before you start messing with fuel hoses and the fuel pump. Get to this stage and come back

 

Obviously this is aimed at me and the way I jumped his shit.....but that's really funny stuka!

I apologize for jumping your shit so quick there Gavin but for a few minutes it didn't look like you were going to stop posting the same thread until it was in every subforum. Every time I refreshed the page there was a new post by you. lol.

It's best to only post on each subject once or else it gets all confusing and messed up having two running threads on the same subject like that.

I wasn't kidding about the pics....you better get some posted immediately or else you will surely perish.

 

Now I realize that the carbs came in boxes, I don't see a bright future for this bike I'm afraid, no fairings and not running with carbs pulled to bits not going to happen without a lot of experience and a pile of parts

 

Ok thank you guys for responding to my post I had issues trying to get signed back in . I took some pictures of the bike so im gonna try and post them right now. As far as the history of the bike plisken I am not to sure I bought it for 150 carbs were in a box I since then pieced them together as far as the linkage went . A buddy of mine did the fuel lines on it . When I got it back he had told me it had a dead cylinder that it was a spark issue . I pulled the tank and found that it was a fuel line issue . The fuel lines ( if you could call them that ) were kinked so I did the best I could to take the pinch out of them . I have compression all the way around from what I was told by my buddy dont know what the numbers are but he Said it was fine the bike was running when i got it back so i got excited and was gonna go for a ride was jumping it off the solenoid and didn't have the fuel on (stupid me ) bike fired would run but give it any gas it would die by the time I figured out the fuel was off the solenoid was pretty hot AMD well it proceeded to pop like a jack in the box so then I left it alone been sitting for two years since then so i know I need tires chain and all those other things for a bike that has been sitting but the like big stop for me is the carbs the lines are not right and are ran over the top of the carbs so the airbox will not go on the bike if I can get the carbs straightened out I figured I can piece the rest back together but maybe not Idk ? Should I do a gasket kit on it since it sat for so long ? Where do I start now ?? Thanks for your time and interest and I appreciate any help I can get with my bike .

 

Im trying to post pics now but not so good at computers so how do i get them on here ?

 

Oh and i am from Fresno ca. If anybody is interested in knowing that or if there is anyone in the Area message me please also having trouble getting my pics on here ?

 

The only way you are going to get anywhere is to shut up and listen ,stop jumping all over the place like a jack rabbit, because you are just rambling in a hundred directions and preferably don't let friends give you advice and help because it isn't working and they are not helping. Pull the tank and get rid of these hoses that are running everywhere then get a fuel bottle and run it directly into the carbs there should be a fitting up near the carbs with the hose coming from the fuel pump. When you have done this come back and tell us where you are up to, one thing at a time otherwise we can't help you

 

Yah, what he say... and be patient! It's not going to get fixed today.
It sounds like the carbs need a proper cleaning for a start, that's usually the problem with bikes that have sat for a long time. When I had my 86 vfr the previous owner had taken out the carbs and broken some stuff. Found it impossible to find another set on Ebay. I'll see if I still have the pictures to help you with assembling them correctly. I'm sure there must be somebody here that could post some photos of the carb assembly. Try some of that transparent green fuel line they sell now, it's pretty flexible and small diameter, but the original tubes are still available. Also, very important, the aircleaner base plate must be left attached to the carbs when you're removing/installing them. It holds everything together , you'll break something if that's removed. Sound like yours is off.
You might be able to just clean them without replacing any parts, if you take the rack apart you should change the O rings on the fuel tubes. Get a set of carb cleaning wires, they're worth it.

One bottle to feed all four carbs or each with its own individual bottle ? And you say remove everything else going in or out of the carbs correct ?

 

Aside from the hard plastic lines I leave those in correct

 

And thank you norm I appreciate your directness so ill get back to you guys when that is done

 

One bottle feeds the 4 carbs whatever way you can , there should be a single hose coming from the fuel pump up to the carbs, hook it in at the junction where it splits and goes to the front carbs, if you don't have the original hoses, they have to go under the carbs so you can eventually fit the air cleaner , by hooking in at the junction you remove the fuel pump from the situation and we have no idea if that works yet. Disconect the wire to the fuel pump for the moment

 

If all else fails send them to Billy Carr and he will make them whole again for money.

Otherwise I would get a "super" rebuild kit from him. It comes with manuals then you can go to town.
