I'll be just like your favorite dentist. ltl

Found 'em! Tomorrow morning I'll be drilling and screwing whether she likes it or not. ltl

Haven't tried the vacuum test. Vacuum plugs are in place and carbs are in boots with the bands tightened. I used canned air on the jets and passages. Diaphrams are in fair shape and do move. I haven't got to syncing yet and plugs are sparking (the two I tried). Shouldn't I be able to get it to start and idle regardless of diaphram and sync issues? ltl

As I look down at the carbs with the airbox off I see flat round silver things I think might be the screws caps. Right next to the fuel input port. I may take the drill to it just to see. Why would it need adjusting if it has never been changed? Does fuel or air go through it and can it get clogged? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Yes, new fuel filter and yes fuel pump is working. Carb bowls get full. The air fuel mixture screw is what I need to know how to do. Where is it!?

I am working on an '87 Venture Royale and need advice on carb adjustments. The bike has been in storage for a number of years and I am trying to resurrect it. The gas tank has had sealer treatment, installed new oil, antifreeze, plugs and battery. I removed the carbs from the bike and soaked them in carb cleaner. The problem is that I can only make it start using the choke. Pushing the choke off stops it from running. Also turning the throttle stops it. Plugs are wet with gas but they do spark. I have reinstalled the carb bank, pulled it, reinstalled it numerous time checking different things and still can't make them work. I have searched a bit but can't find a procedure for any adjustments except for float height. I removed, cleaned and reinserted the jets in the jet block. Do they need to be adjusted? I've probably put something back together wrong but right now I have no clue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated ltl
