Wait, so are we really going? are you guys planning to riding the bikes?
what is going on?
Graham, I think Allen is referring to the blue Vulcan you got some time
ago. I think you sold it right away. I should have a picture or two of that
day.

Another common problem after a carb job is the fuel line getting kinked or
pinched. If you had the work done before winter, and let it set a while

I think he's right, your fully blocked. Fuel line must come off. So you
might as well add a fuel filter about $20.00 or so. To get it run well once
is important...so spray starting fluid..$5 or so into air filter Carb
intake, or take plugs off and put it into cylinder, plugs back and start
it. Now

Check you t line between the two carb to see if it is cracked or leaking some.
Have you synchronized you distribution of fuel for each carb? Check your knob
position or the fuel line is intact and fasteners tightened.

Bleh, my clutch had started slipping and I was running a poor oil choice so
I changed to Rotella T5 and my clutch still slips sometimes under hard
accelleration. I thought the slippage would go away when I switched to a
better oil choice, but it's not really much better. Think I ruined my
clutch?
Well I would say it doesn't hurt to put a half gallon or so in so you can

Okay, so I can't even start the bike now. I can hear fuel sloshing
around. I pulled the choke out in about 5 different positions. Tried
petcock in on position & in reserve, but wouldn't turn over.
Spark plugs are brand new.
Any new ideas?

A number of guys on the VFR-list run that. If it wasn't friendly for wet
