    VM29mm smoothbores question about vacuum/overflow lines.

    Will do, I may even give you a call when I get around to them when the gaskets arrive. I had them wrapped in a large plastic bag inside a box here in my office.

    VM29mm smoothbores question about vacuum/overflow lines.

    I was told by an old timer here that you can just use one cable. Since my setup had a two positions, I just went with the two cable system.

    VM29mm smoothbores question about vacuum/overflow lines.

    Thanks guys. Chuck I don't mind using the sync passage for the vacuum line. When I first started it u it had some backfires and sputters, but I did get it to idle at higher revs. AZR if I am remembering correctly, my gauge wasn't hardly moving at all (until i plugged the breather tubes)...

    VM29mm smoothbores question about vacuum/overflow lines.

    I had these carbs professionally cleaned and put back together, so i dont think anything is missing. Before I plugged up the breather tubes I could not get but a very slight rise out of the morgan gauges. when I plugged them I could read the bars and tell a difference in them. I think I am...

    VM29mm smoothbores question about vacuum/overflow lines.

    To be honest I don't understand what I just read Jordan. Hopefully some of the smarter guys that have vm 29mm will chime in and answer you. I tried to sync them and found that I needed to block off the two breather hoses with golf tees in order to get any reading out of the carb sync...

    VM29mm smoothbores question about vacuum/overflow lines.

    Thank you Azr, I sure appreciate the fast response, good timing. These were on a bike from here in Texas, so I was hoping they were right. They are 117.5 mains and 17.5 pilots...so hoping that will be ok. Getting ready to sync them in a few minutes after I do a little refresher on Basscliffs...

    VM29mm smoothbores question about vacuum/overflow lines.

    Thanks guys. I have brass fittings in my carb sync kit, I can use the short one for it on the second carb. A mystery person from the west sent me a picture of how they did theirs. I do have a question for both of you, what size main jets are you running with your vm29's? I have pods and...

    VM29mm smoothbores question about vacuum/overflow lines.

    Thanks TeamDar. Damn that sucks. I know a lot of people prefer to nix the vacuum petcock anyway, but i like it because i will inevitably forget to turn the darn thing off. How creative will I need to get? Any Ideas how it may be doable?

    VM29mm smoothbores question about vacuum/overflow lines.

    I am changing out my 26mm to the new 29mm and notice the 29's have a different fuel/vacuum/overflow tube configuration. The fuel tube is obvious but there are two other tubes up further- one is on the left side and one on the right side. Does anyone know which one is vacuum and which one is...

    This goes in the builders category of "how uncomfortable can we make this bike"...and evidently each time they asked themselves that question, they didn't give up till successful.

    1982 GS850L $100 project: is it worth it?

    You nailed it Steve. I have thought about making a list like that with the cost of the rebuild kits and time it takes so that when we see these posts it is an easy thing to show someone considering these purchases. I myself have been guilty of buying several "bargains" to find out I have $1k...

    HELP!! Swingarm!!!

    What bike do you have? I would guess that they may have had to change the swing arm to add the upgraded wheel and fatter tire.
