  1. Carbs & Fuel System
    So I just had a quick question, has anyone tried replacing the choke plungers with the aftermarket ones with the handle on top to get rid of the choke cable assembly?
  2. Carbs & Fuel System
    Hi all, recently i took my 94 750 to have a rear tire installed and nothing else done to it. Went to pick it up today, and there was a plastic bag with my air filters hanging off the bars, went to start it and the battery was dead, and tank was dry. Went and got gas and jump pack, then went to...
  3. Engine, Exhaust & Cooling
    So this vn750 I've been working on has got me stumped. The carb has been cleaned and rebuilt, it runs and idles great, and if you gun it it'll rev fine, but when revving slowly or riding it gets to 4500rpm and then starts pulsing and won't go any higher. It had been sitting about 10 years and...

    I have the Haynes & Clymer repair manuals and the Kawasaki Service Manual for the 2006 Vulcan 750 and also have searched this site and other Kawasaki forums but have not found anything to show me where to connect a carburetor synchronizer and what screw(s) to adjust. It has been about 18 yrs...
  5. Carbs & Fuel System
    So I put the bike together tonight and turned on the gas and immediately the carb started hemorrhaging fuel. See pics. I am assuming it's the floats but am not that knowledgeable. Also, should the petcock flow freely without the bike cranking or running? It does just wondering if something...
  6. Carbs & Fuel System
    So I just bought this 88 Vulcan 750 basket case from a neighbor and I want to get it running. I know the engine cranks, but it looks like the carb is a little off and I want to address that before attempting to start it. (It has other minor issues as well with the gas tank). If you look at the...

  8. Carbs & Fuel System
    Hoping for some help, at least a little insight. My father recently purchased a 2005 750. It had been sitting in storage for about ten years. The tank was full of rust and petcock plugged, that was remedied. After reinstallation of the gas tank, a leak was discovered on the carb. It appeared...

    Have myself a 88 750. I just picked it up from the original owner a week ago. It was running good for the first few miles…then it just started acting up. Hesitates like crazy!! And no power at all. It did sit for about a year. I looked at the air filters…and they were in literally a bunch...

    2000 Vulcan seems to be backfiring more than normal when downshifting into turns or approaching stops. I know backfiring is somewhat normal but am I doing damage by letting it continue? How can I fix this? The bike did sit more than normal this summer. Could I have some carb gunk causing this?
  12. Carbs & Fuel System
    Hey all! Long time lurker, first time poster. Ran into an issue the other day with my float on the rear carb, filled with gas through a little pin hole. Been racking my brain on melting, covering etc but now am just looking to replace. I found a replacement housing with both floats on kawi parts...
  13. Carbs & Fuel System
    Hello, I recently got my first bike and had to take apart the carb to clean it out/ replace the jets. The main jet was already stripped by the previous owner so I used a ez out to remove it. Instead of loosening, (I’m guessing it was seized on) the threading snapped off and now I’m stuck on what...
  14. Carbs & Fuel System
    Hey everyone, I have a very strange issue with the front cylinder of my 1990 Vulcan. When I try and start the bike, after a few cranks, there will be a loud noise followed by a faint bit of smoke/air forcefully shooting out the intake on the carbs. The engine will also kick back and temporarily...
  15. Carbs & Fuel System
    I have searched and found some single carb conversions that seem to work, but just curious if anyone has done it successfully and it look good too. I have 2 Vulcans, a 700 and a 750 and I also have a 750 parts bike. I'm asking this because one of the carbs has a broken center plate and looks...

    Is there someone that got a carburator with number V147 YB15 for sale? Need the one that goes to the front cylinder if there is any difference between them. I might buy the entire butterfly if needed, as long as they are working, it is possible to turn the pilot mixing screws and the price is...
  18. Carbs & Fuel System
    My bike was running fine, but backfiring a lot while decelerating. Seemed like at times it was not idling quite right. I pulled the carb and cleaned it out. I replaced the diaphragms with the JB industries one. I put it all back together and it started up and ran great. I jumped on the bike and...
  19. Carbs & Fuel System
    Howdy. I got my 89 Vulcan last July or August and rode it for about a month before deciding to start working on it over the winter. I cleaned out the gas tank (I'll post my thoughts on the methods of doing so once I get it running again), put in Iridium plugs, and did the Ear Shave, and now it...
