- May 07, 2015, 18:40:41 PMI took this on as a money maker for a friend. I'm charging him well below what a dealer or specialty shop would charge. This is the carb. rack off a 2001 Yamaha V-Max. This bike has not run in many years, and everything, and I do mean everything on these carbs was stuck. Several days of soaking the screws in WD-40 and then using a hand impact driver with a set of JIS anti-cam out screwdriver bits, and I finally got them all apart. I got complete gasket sets but the carb slide diaphragms are $105 each... Two of them had holes in them, so I patched them with liquid rubber and let them set up over night. So far, they seem to be holding vacuum...no guarantees.. It's been a while since I got back into this stuff, so, even though it took me more time than it should have, I got it done. I'm glad that the guy never tried to start the bike when he got it, the bowl gaskets on two of the carbs were missing completely. Nice thing is all the parts are available, not so nice thing is how much they cost....
