Vacuum advance restrictor

Cuthbert42 replied to frankd's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)

I have seen people use a small section of red spray straw from a can of carb cleaner siliconed into a hose connector as a restrictor.

Will 85' carbs work on a 83'?

Cuthbert42 replied to Chaplain Dusty's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)

One question that comes to mind is, have you checked the valve clearances. It doesn't matter how clean you carbs are if your valves are out of spec. When that is done, clean the carbs yourself, most shops have no interest in properly cleaning 30 year old carbs, you'll also learn a lot more about your bike if you do the work yourself. Just my two cents.
