I might just soak the carb in carb clean. I have a couple cans of it in liquid form already. I may have a line on a parts bike. It's an '85...
After doing some thinking, I might go ahead and remove the engine. I've been rushing myself to get it running, but I really have the rest of the...
Yeah, I just ordered new boots. The old ones are developing cracks and just too hard to work with. Thanks for the help!
Hey, I can't seem to get the carbs back on the engine. As most can guess, it's those damn rubber intake boots. Anyone know any tricks to get...
Ok, I am wrong. :redface: I guess the info I heard about the fuel pump was the misconception, not the other way around. Oh well, live and...
I have a silly question; can a VF700 engine be put into this frame?

I'd have to read a couple guides before making a decision. Do you know where to find a guide?
I had the motor running before, and it sounded good, no bad noises. Is it just a good idea to do it anyway? I can't say I'm familiar with doing...
