Think thats a Ted Nugent song. Yanky my wanky.

 

Ya I got you John never said anything about me being upset did I .so i rolled with every ones punches here just fine but yours cause you makin it personal bringing my manhood into things here bub !! I may be UN educated in the Higher art of mechanics but that dont mean im not a man ive been through more than most of you could ever know in my thirty two years on this planet . I have raised my son by myself and held a union job for years ran my own crew doing electrical and you best bet I can hold my own man to man so take your bull****somewhere else huh. This is what I am talking about by being disrespectful everyone else on here was poking fun at me fine . I got no problems with that i even gave you old guys on here a poke or two back .then you come along. you want to sit here and tell me how this is a mans club . Well no s*** bub and everyone else here acted accordingly and I got no problem with it got some funny pics up on here some good laughs I know I had lookin at this thread with some good helpful information throwin in there as well . So listen here if what you got to say ain't funny and its not gonna help me out with my bike then pound it in your a** bub. And anytime you think you want to try me on for size come down to sunny beautiful Fresno ca. And we can dance bub

 

Ok my bad guys I jumped the gun there a little bit I apologize John didn't read your comment in sequence I just did And yes ill be the bigger man here and i apologize for jumping your a** ok

 

All good, now back to our regularly scheduled programing please.

 

Now lets go back to Squirrels suggestion to do a compression test on it before you throw any money at it, one step at a time

 

Yes I seen that and am gonna listen I swear.just got to get the gauge and learn how to use it but squirrel makes good sense so yes i am working on it guys but its the holidays money is kinda tight so ill keep you posted .what would be acceptable compression on these anybody know

 

No problem Gavin. Just so you know, that reference had nothing to do with you. I was just poking fun at Duccmanns yanky reference, it's a funny line that the Chinese actor's character "Long Duck Dong" from the movie Sixteen Candles fraised after his girlfriend has had her way with him all night.
An FYI, it isn't only a mans club here, there is a good amount of female members also. Now, as the others mentioned, back to the issues with your bike. Let's get it rolling!
John

 

Ya your telling me I have had this thing for going on four years was scared to tackle the carb issue myself and couldn't find a shade tree worth a craps so it just sat there neglected .I recently got a 250 ninja that ive been going through doing a bit of work on and riding and it is definitely caused the vfr to be on my mind .I cant stand that little bike too slow too small im way too big to be on that little bike you guys should see it must be hilarious for those around I am not a small guy but it is what it is (all I have at the moment and it runs great ) so cant complain but ya. I had forgotten how fun riding can be AnD now I got the itch bad .want to get on a real bike again and been thinking about that bike for years now so I finally decided screw it im gonna do it tear her down get her back right and learn alot on the way so nervous and excited about it . Previous lessons on my other bikes and cars have always cost me money breaking stuff while attempting to fix problems creating more for myself .it has taught me alot though I have wrenched on everything I have ever owned but this time I figured you guys might stop from making more costly mistakes along the way well thats they're anyways so well see ill keep you guys updated along the way and when completed will definitely have some things to say and show you guys so bare with me money is tight and experience is low but ill get it

 

Just ask and you may receive. ..lots of knowledge here...good attitude. Good luck. Never stupid questions. ...take pics along the way through your resurrection.

 

Thats what I was hoping to find here so thank you guys I wont even think about doing this for real without you guys support. So i will post some new pics on here soon I broke down and cleaned the bike up surprised me how nice it actually cleaned up . So feeling optimistic at the moment but kind of at a stand still need to get the parts I need before I take it down . Im not the most organized person so dont want to have it apart for any longer than necessary . So acquiring parts at the moment so i have everything I need when I break her down that way I can tear her apart clean fix mend and make new then reassemble hopefully in a week from when i start to tear it down but am open to suggestions for the process so im all ears if you guys got a better idea

 

You dudes should be very careful talking aboot asses. There are harleydoods lurking aboot.

 

Ya what can I say guys from sac are by the only gay ones must be a California thing all I can think about dicks and ass !!! Dont know what my problem is !!!

 

OK, Gav, and to answer your question about compression readings, i'd suggest that on your COLD engine--with all plugs removed and a strong battery and carbs off the bike or throttle held wide open--you'd see about 120psi + at least with a healthy engine. It's uber-important that all 4 should be within about 10% equal. Any cylinder much below average is a problem.

 

Ok ill check I to that and let you know

 

So if you are going to do a compression check, after you have done the first check, squirt a bit of oil in through the plug hole and repeat the test and then we can compare the readings and see if there is an issue with either rings or valves

 

Ok ill let you know thank you again guys

 

If you find yourself in the Sacramento area this holiday season I will slap those carbs back together for ya if all the parts are there.

 

Well I might just have to find my way up there I think parts are missing though are any other years interchangeable with the 86 I found some complete carbs for an 87 and an 86 700 would either of those work for my bike

 

They will work. Snag 'em.
