I think I'll be messaging you about those carbs in the next few days. I wanted to make sure this was a project I really wanted to get into first....
Just out of curiosity and because the 700 is about thirteen times easier to hook up the throttle linkage than the 500... I dropped in the...
I have a Knipex plumber adjustable flat wrench that I used to try to straighten it. I can snap a pic tomorrow. It looks better but certainly not...
A question I've thought about before but never asked and have been unable to find an answer to.. how high of a fuel column do you need to test...
Phil, I tested out both diodes (and also my VF500F one which is the same), and found everything you said would happen is exactly what happened....
Thank you for the explanation Phil. I guess I've got a couple bad diodes. I'll try messing around with them later this week to figure out if the...
On the float height--yep, agreed. I was just curious. I spun a Q-Tip through the float valve again and cleaned up the valve tip (quickly), but...
I got the carburetor mostly reassembled today. I'm missing a thrust spring along with a few other items that need attention. I think my attempts...
Phil I gave it a shot testing out the way he does in that video, and from those tests neither of my diodes appear to be working. I do wonder if...
I watched your vid the other day and kept waiting thinking "What is his little disaster going to be? That bike looks gorgeous, and it fired right...
I should put a Kia sticker on the bike, and it'd be right at home in Milwaukee. Son of a bitch I was actually wondering to myself if that was a...
That's awesome. I've read some of your posts about racing the VF but didn't know you were the only one out there at the time throwing down with...
That's great to know. I thought that because the intake boots on the 84/5 were different than the 1986 that the two carburetors would be...
If that thing was near me, I'd have bought it immediately. But that's because I want a spare tank, motor, and frame in the unfortunate event that...
Yea, those 1/2" filters are huge. I don't have any experience with the gravity-fed VF; however, I kind of want to convert mine. Will that...
Usually we try to find bikes from outside of the rust belt to bring here--not the other way around, hah. Actually you've simplified your life by...
I'll swap over the VF one to test that out--good call. I ordered a harness today on eBay as well that came off of a running bike since I think...
This battery is a brand new Motobatt AGM and cranks really strong when I bypass the ignition. The main 30A fuse isn't the one that's blowing--it's...
I printed off a wiring diagram and started racking my brain a bit on the ignition fuse blowing. Don't have that figured out yet, but I went for...
Whelp. Probably going to be some deep thinking time because I'm popping the ignition fuse the moment I press the starter button to try to get it...
