Dude, V Stars were notorious for clogged jets after a bike sat for a few weeks. I bought one when the guy got disgusted it wouldn't start, I ran a guitar wire through the jets and it fired right up and ran great.

My roadstar 1700 midnight did this.Oil was perfect until I cranked it then it was way over full smelled of gas..The bike had been setting after he laid it down in rest area..I bought it got it home and just pull the carb just laid it on it side on motor pulled bowl and fresh white jelly in bottom one jet stopped up.Blasted it out and and changed the oil so far so good. So easy to work on..I just got lucky I guess..

Why go from a carbed bike that gave you trouble to another carbed bike that could possibly give you the same issues? Get a bike with fuel injection like the VStar 950, problem solved🤷‍♂️

You’ll have to ask the guy that did the trade. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t even have the 650 anymore, think he traded it for a boat or something, lol

I know exactly what this issue is, having dealt with myself. The problem lies with the actual brass seat for the float need. this is held in place by a small screw which is located the edge of the seat. When the actual brass seat is removed you will see there is a O ring located in a groove on the outer circumference of seat and this where the problem lies. This o ring will let fuel enter the float chamber, bypassing the float needle and will flood the carburetor. These carburetors, due the emission regulations do not have overflow tubes to release the excess fuel that is entering the float bowls but will allow the fuel to rise up through the main jet and flood the relevant cylinder. This will cause a hydraulic lock in the cylinder and also allow fuel to seep through the exhaust valve into the muffler. This problem is most prevalent after the engine has been sitting for extended periods which allows the o ring to dry out and shrink ever so slightly. A word of caution, trying to crank the engine when there is a hydraulic lock has the potential to bend a conrod. The good news is that the o ring issue is a very inexpensive fix. However, were you to say bend a conrod, that would not be an inexpensive fix.

Hi , i have same bike and the only problem with my bike is that when i ride it for 20-30 minutes then park it then when i try to start my bike again after parking for 20 minutes it wont start the fuel comes in the exhaust or i have to try multiple times and also i have to crank the engine a lot to start the bike and after starting it runs fine or after cooling down or after few hours it starts fine. Or sometimes when its idle it starts stalling. Can u please tell me whats the issue?

@okay_motorbikes 2 ай бұрын

The first thing I would check would be the ignition coils. The symptoms you described are commonly attributed to an ignition coil failing after heating up/expanding, then functioning again once cooled down/contracted. I can’t guarantee this will fix your problem, it’s just the first thing I would test

If I have a bike like this, the first thing I would do, if this hadn't been done already, is attach a fuel level gauge to each of the bowls while the carburetor is installed on the bike and see where the actual fuel level is. And if you can get the bike to be running while the fuel level of each bowl is being checked, so much the better. My guess is that the fuel level is way, way above where it should be. Adjust float level as necessary. That would be just the start. If that doesn't work, return the bike as much as possible to stock condition. There's been so much tinkering with this bike that it's impossible to figure out the main issue, or combination of issues. Also, hyperchargers may look cool, but I don't believe they do anything for the bike that would justify the expense.

Have you tried the air/fuel mixture screws? They may be too too far in to idle. Have you balanced the carbs?? Neither was addressed in the video. Are you running the stock air box? There may be an air leak. Did you mix the main jets? the rear carb has

@johnweisYamaroler 5 ай бұрын

The rear cylinder carb has a larger main jet.

@okay_motorbikes 5 ай бұрын

The bike is long gone now, but these are all excellent suggestions. Mixture screws were tested at several different settings, I seem to remember them being about 3 turns out, but I’m not sure. I never got the bike to run long enough to balance the carbs. Air box was aftermarket - hypercharger - and was properly secured. I was not aware of the difference in the main jets, that may have been the ticket. The owner traded this bike after we couldn’t get it sorted out, but apparently the new owner got it up and running

If you’ve got a good battery, and everything leading up to the starter is working properly, you may have a problem with your starter or the starting clutch. Evidently the starting clutch is a weak link on these bikes.

@williamdujkasr3665 6 ай бұрын

I can't take any more of this " tinkering". The floats are definitely sticking or float level messed up. Keep cranking it while playing with the throttle and you will be replacing a starter clutch

@okay_motorbikes 6 ай бұрын

You’re absolutely right, the floats were sticking. I very likely did do some damage to the starting system with all the cranking, but the bike is long gone now 👌🏻

@jamesw.3491 6 ай бұрын

Your float needles are not seating right. They are not sealing off the flow of gas when the float raises up. Did you check the floats and make sure there was no gas in them? Even a pin hole in a float allows fluid in them and they will not shut off the gas flow. Your fuel pump always priming is the giveaway either the floats are bad or the needles are not sealing off with the float.

@okay_motorbikes 6 ай бұрын

That was an issue, you’re right. The main issue ended up being with the jetting. It was way too rich. The bike was only running when the owner bought it because whoever had last worked on it left everything loose. There were huge air leaks, and tightening up the loose parts made the bike dump so much gas into the intake that it was just constantly fouling the plugs. The owner traded the bike, though. There’s more details in the next video if you’d like to check it out

@terencemeehan8237 26 күн бұрын

The needle and seat might need replacement. When it sits the gas drips down into the cylinders and past the rings to the oil sump. I’ve seen Yamaha’s with rubber tips on the needles that rot and rip, look good but never seal. Or an old piece of rubber is stuck in the seat. Worth a quick check.

With gas that old having been run through the carbs, my bet is a piece of trash was holding the needle off the needle seat just enough so that the valve didnt close causing the flooding issue. Those carbs needed to be cleaned bad.

@tomakafrankconlon3207 7 ай бұрын

Well the fuel pump is not working as it should. You can hear it trying to prime itself every time. That much gas from the exhaust means there is constant gas flow. Are the gas lines to and from the pump the wrong way around?. The easy way to isolate the problem is to bypass the gas tank and fuel pump. Just feed gas directly to the carbs and see what happens.

@okay_motorbikes 7 ай бұрын

Definitely was dumping a lot of fuel, a float adjustment took care of that. The jetting was too rich, and the owner didn’t want to mess with it anymore, so it’s been traded 👌🏻

@knightwolfe858 7 ай бұрын

My bet is the needles have something on them preventing the needle seat from fully closing. And my bet is when the carbs were cleaned the needles were overlooked as was the needle seats. I had the same issue with mine when i got it.

Regulator/rectifier terminal? I've just tried to start my VN750 and met some problems with it. Checked regulator resistances (according to manual) and found out - my regulator is dead. Also I'd check high voltage wires from coils to spark plugs and coils (sometimes it works on high rpm and cause pain in ... at low rpm).
