Sounds like a starter clutch to me. PITA on some bikes but don't know about the VFR.
OK. I have been able to put a few miles on it with the fan coming on like it should. It is better but still surging. I experimented with the choke...
I had that on a dirt bike carb. I tried about every solvent I could think of and finally sent them off for an ultrasonic cleaning. It's nasty stuff.
Perhaps. I've cleaned them a few times and replaced a couple of the f'd up carb bodies. The pilots are new but are the stock size (#38), You would...
The spark plugs are NGK DPR9EA. The drive chain looks great. It's a newer o-ring chain with no kinks I can see. As soon as I get my...
I did check the fuel screws and three of the four were only 1 1/2 turns out. I opened them all up to 2 1/2. I took it for a short ride but it...

Hey Gang, After 6 months of other projects I finally got my VF500 running well enough to ride it. It starts right up and pulls pretty well but it...

Hey Gang, Not really happy with the performance of the rear brake on my vf500. I noticed the disc is looking pretty grooved. Is there a decent...

I've used 2x8 Viton O-rings for the fuel transfer tubes and 1x7 for the plastic vent tubes with some success. Both are available from McMaster Carr
What he said...
You said you cleaned the pilots but did you check the complete circuit? I've had super clean pilots and have found obstructions in the small...
If you search for a little bit on the site you'll find answers for your questions. I think I've addressed all these on my bike so here goes: The...
Do you think I ruined the carb bodies? Ugh....
Yeah. I know better to use that stuff but I had a brain fart. I put a petcock in once and forgot about it for a week. Not good. Oh well. I will...
Hey gang, I bought another carb set to rob two bodies and some parts from. They were pretty grubby so I dunked them in carb cleaner overnight....
Could be. I'll check. Thanks for the tip.
