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...

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...
Good news on the valves and cams. The cam lobes look great, and none of the valves were more than 0.001" out of tolerance. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I didn't really document it, but the included instructions were easy to follow. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I find it highly coincidental that I'm wearing my Rice Owls sweatshirt while working on the bike now and reading your post. I think it's just...
JetsRUs has carb rebuild kits at $33/each which is a pretty penny. You're getting new float valve seats and needles with it though....
