    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Is this right??

Shouldn't this be plugged up???? There is one on the number one carb as well that isn't.

My plug fell out on my 1983 Suzuki 750e. Only one though. I would seal it so it doesn't get crud in there and seize up.
 
No, it's a float bowl vent, it needs to be open.
It came originally with a foot long hose looping up over the airbox, but that doesn't really matter.

Okay

1st, those are the #3 and #4 carbs, count from the left as you sit on the bike

There should be an identical port between #1 and #2

Do not cap them off!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just leave them unplugged ,or run a line as Tkent indicates

The big question is - do you have a line on the similar appearing vacuum port on the other side of #3 carb? The line should run from that port to your petcock

Ok,

I do have the one connected to the petcock. I thought maybe this was causing the bad midrange throttle response.
 
Need to get a manual!!

Need to get a manual!!

Find a thread where Basscliff has his links to his site. It is very informatative! Read all of it and then follow the directions on cleaning the carbs once you understand them. His site is the best!!

Thanks, I will take a look at that.
 
These are VM22 carbs off a 550.

- The two outer lines are vents

- The fat center line is for gas from the petcock

- The smaller line near the fuel line, on the #3 carb is the vacuum port that goes to the petcock

Ok. I guess I am going to have to get the rebuild kits for the carbs, and follow the procedure for cleaning them.

You don't need rebuild kits, just get a VM kit from cycleorings.com and maybe some floatbowl gaskets. And don't forget to get new O-rings for the intake boots. cycleorings doesn't sell the size you need for your carbs but you can order them from an OE parts source or I have a bag full (sent me a PM if you want to go this route).

What a dope I am, I though you were addressing the mixture screw, of which mine are plugged. I'd put a hose on the piece as it will give the gas a way to go in case you leave the bike on "prime" (if it has that) or the petcock fails. Sorry.
