I'm in nee of a carb http://www.venturerider.org/forum/first-generation-venture-tech-talk/99167-carb.html I have a set on an 86 parts bike. The bike is a California emissions. The number 1 has an extra port that appears to be where the bowls are routed. The other 3 appear externally the same as non California carbs. Does anyone know if there are any internal differences, or should I be able to use the right bank? Thanks

That would be great, thanks

Yes, I only need the the carb body. I can install everything else from the old one.

Let's just say things have not gone well during repairs and leave it at that. BTW I will take a whole set, just so I can get the one I need.

Need carbs for an 86 VR in usable condition. I only need the right front one or the right bank. Thanks

I think there is a plug behind that cover and may be where the leak is coming from. I think those covers are only cosmetic.

Today I saw a guy texting while he was riding, I couldn't believe it.

I finally removed the carbs and looks like tank rust is the root of my problems.

Does the noise change if you pull in the clutch lever? Is it different on the center stand compared to the side stand?

What is the minimum thickness of the rear rotor for an 86 VR? Didn't see it stamped on it. Also what would cause the brake pads wear more on the back end of the pads?

Started it today I took off the airbox and the 3 carbs that pool gas have fuel running around the needle and collecting on the butterfly valves. Also fuel is coming from, I think it's the main air jet on top of the 3 carbs.

I looked but couldn't find the ID mark I found it

I should have been more specific. I am having trouble with my carbs http://www.venturerider.org/forum/first-generation-venture-tech-talk/96821-carb-trouble.html. I have another set that I am not sure if they are from a MK1 or MK2. So what specifically would I be looking for to tell the difference?

What are the differences between MK1 and MK2 carbs excluding the 83?

There are 5 openings on the intake of the carbs. On the left 2 carbs the round opening at the 12 o'clock position and 6 o'clock on the right 2.

I started it today it ran for about a minute and stalled. I took off the airbox and again gas was pooled on top off 3 of the butterfly valves, there was no gas from the overflow hoses. I'm guessing this has been the cause of my poor gas mileage,30-33 mpg.

Any how to's on removing and servicing the fuel tank?

I have a non OEM kit and it doesn't have a screen. Similar to this one. 4X 86 07 VMAX Carb Kits VMX1200 V Max 83 93 XVZ13 Venture Venture Royale | eBay This will fix the overflowing problem. What about the flooding and the fuel pooling on top of the butterfly valves? Also I have fuel squirting out of the hole to the left or right of the caps when the bike stops running.

Will this o ring be the repair kit?

I have used seafoam many times. It would be good for a while. I have filled the carbs with seafoam and then drained the bowls, same thing.

Gas is coming out of the overflow hoses, it's a pretty steady flow.

I have an 86 VR that regularly has the carbs overflow. When it does the bike won't idle and poor throttle response. When I got home today i was trying to find which one it was. I took off the air box and found gas pooled on top of 3 of the butterfly valves. I started the bike and opened the throttle and let it close gas again pooled and stalled. When it stop running gas spouted out of the holes on top of the carbs. Can I assume that the ones with the fuel pooling are the ones overflowing? Any thoughts where I should start? Thanks The bike did this when I bought and I had them rebuilt at a shop. It ran well for a few months and then would do it again. I had the carbs done again and had the floats replaced with new ones and again alright for a while then the same thing, also an additional fuel filter was added.

Wheel bearings maybe

Had the same problem with may 86. I eventually disconnected the tip over switch and no more issues.
