  1. V Star
    Hi, I need to replace my front carb (the left one) fuel shut off solenoid, I was wondering if someone knows which one I should get because there are two but I am unsure which one it might be, much thanks.

    Is it good to apply a light coating of lubricant to small o-rings that will be used in a carburetor? If so, what brand or type of lubricant should I use? Thanks.

    Do y'all use o-rings around your main jets & holders? In the 1100 carburetor, the pilot jet and enrichener (choke) jet don't use o-rings. For the main jet, this diagram shows two o-rings: one around the main jet (#44) and one around the jet-holder (#9). None of the DIY videos show using #44 and...

    I just cleaned my carbs (first time) and reinstalled them on my 2004 V-Star 1100. I'm using an auxiliary gas tank for testing and have not yet reinstalled the Yamaha tank (or its electrical connection to the instrument cluster). I did reconnect the wires from the carburetor back to the bike (TPS...

    I recently had my 2004 V-Star 1100 carburetors cleaned by an indy shop. After cleaning, the throttle response is much better but the engine still seems a little rough. I noticed the PMS screws had not been adjusted on the bike after carb cleaning as the caps covering the PMS screw are still in...

    My fiancée has a 2005 VStar that has recently had an issue of dying on a cold start if I give it any choke when trying to warm it up. Is this an enrichener circut issue where I would just need to clean that or is this a full carb rebuild issue. I have resorted to just holding the throttle in...

    Hi Folks, When I pulled off my carburetor, I heard this little voice saying I should label all of the hoses, or at least take a few pictures. But I told myself "Don't worry, you'll be able to remember". Well, you probably know what I'm going to say. Does anyone have photos of the fuel and...

    Just bought a “new to me” 06 Xvs1100 from a dealership and about a month after riding I’m starting to have carburetor backfires and pops from the exhaust. It has a stock air box and an aftermarket exhaust system. I seem to get really low fuel mileage too. I know that I should some tuning to the...

    I installed the SS Customs POD kit, and rejected the carbs with the supplied materials. Put it all back together and backfires / pop when warmed up. I can't get the carbs to sync. The gauges are hooked up, and I can see the carbs out of sync. No matter how much I adjust the 'syncing screw'...

    Hey all I'm new here. I've got a 1999 v star 650 custom. In the process of adjusting my mixture screws on the dual carbs they both stripped on the heads. Was super careful but the metal was just incredibly brittle. I'm looking to just replace the carbs overall at this point anyway. It's stock...

    01 V Star 1100. I recently cleaned the carbs and everything was working properly. Now for some reason the carb bowls are dry as a bone. The fuel pump is only working when the lines are not connected to the carbs. I pulled the carbs off again to check the floats and everything seems to be in...
  12. V Star
    Hello, everyone. I hope everyone is having a good day/night. I just recently bought a V star 650 Classic (01) for $1,500. The person who sold it to me said he was selling it for so cheap because he said he messed up the carburetor trying to do a DIY job. Something to do with either the needle...
