just got a 1992 VMax which i am trying to get running like i know it can.
it is a non-california version with Cobra slip-ons and K&N filter. previous
owner did not know if the bike had been re-jetted( so i do not know yet
either ). i've put in fresh plugs and i have synced the carbs( man, they
were way outta whack! ).
i now want to set the pilot screws( brass plugs were out when i purchased
the bike ). i have started by attempting to set the pilot screws to 2.5
turns out. but i am not real confident that i found their baseline
turned-in position to begin with.
reading the CO2 using my JC Whitney special, the CO2 values are: cyl1: 7.1%
cyl2: 7.0% cyl3: 6.2% cyl4: 5.8%
here's my questions:
when turning in the pilot screw, how do i know when it is in it's full-in
position? slight resistence? tight resistence? sharp change in rpm??
what is a good range to shoot for in the CO2 values( or what are the
settings from the factory )? is this even a reliable method for getting
the pilot screw settings matched up?
oh, the bike runs pretty good as it stands now, though lower speed cruising
is kinda finicky. and cyl1's exhaust sounds / feels different than the
other 3 cylinders. it is more of a potato pop blast, where as the others
are smoother, more consistent rumbling. ( i am thinking that this is one
advantage in having the Cobra 4-4's ).
i'd appreciate any guidance this list can offer.
